Kind of ironic - we know that the Deep State and others use fear as a way to steer and control the people - we had the commie/nuke war threat until the Berlin Wall came down then it wasn’t viable anymore and up pops Globull Warming, which has many in fear that we’re gonna destroy the Earth even as we do less harm than past generations and none of the data actually supports anything but the earth’s climate and Mother Nature do not now, and never did have a “balance” and even if they did, we have no idea of how to maintain one or ‘fix’ things...all our efforts end up causing more harm....the coronavirus scare is no different - the panic-induced knee-jerking will cause more harm than the virus.
Folks who would be up in arms if the government decided to tell them they could not move freely are now begging that same government to lock them, and everyone else, down....I’d wager if, after doing that, the story ‘evolved” they would also go meekly to barb-wire surrounded camps/tent cities because the “latest info” said that’s the only way to stop it.
Even though we know that they use fear to guide and control us, so many can’t see it through the red haze of insane panic....they not only welcome the government controls, they beg for them...
And the fear mongers will try to leverage it...
Reminds me of a saying, by Ben Franklin, that many FReepers, who are now acting insane, used to showcase:
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Knowledge must be coupled with effective *action*.

Doubling every three days—that has been the number I have been using in my number crunching.
“Exploding in Italy.”
Yep, and they’ve exhausted their supply of Chinese to infect (as if it were only Chinese there), now it’s hitting real Italians.
“Fauci is right, it’s far better to overreact.”
Not sure it is even possible to overreact.

DENVER (CBS4) – King Soopers officials say an employee at a store on Chestnut Place, near 20th and Wewatta Streets in Denver, tested positive for COVID-19. Officials say the employee last worked at the store on March 6.
And I would never do it.
Moreover, if you look at my posts you’ll understand that all I’m asking for is careful thinking.
The Chinese don’t want people to think carefully.
That’s right....I got a quick lesson when trying to find a themometer that were out in all the mainline stores and pharamacies....found full rack at an otherwise no-name brand outlet..
Tomorrow going out to get a transfer pump for a project I’m working on....again a small hardware store has plenty.
Glad to hear that you’ve both recovered.
My proposition is that perhaps China isn’t telling us everything about the virus.
Is that a “crazy conspiracy theory?”

Are you a medical professional that you can dispense medical advice like this?
Or are you just a run of the mill idiot offering snake oil salesmen cures that you know nothing about.
My bet is on the latter.
Okay. But China's numbers are highly suspect.
Highly.
So you choose to evade the question.
Re: 173 - *I* believe they are. Could be totally wrong.
“What exactly am I in the way of?”
You are obstructing people figuring out the best way to deal with a problem that you deny exists. Just like with this post to me, since you know exactly what you are doing.
Such as?
They want me to subscribe to read the article, and I will not.
OH here we go.
You calling my mother a witch doctor? Because that is exactly what she would do when we got a bad illness.
Got anything better, oh Greta one? Yes thats right, you are Greta.
Seems pretty close to the average percentages we’ve seen, worldwide, doesn’t it? (for ICU)
Quick math, could be off.
