There is no difference this time. The same people that are at-risk for the standard flu are at risk here. This is Hysteria 101. Take a walk through a Walmart - the shelves have been emptied of products because dumbasses like Cuomo, DeWine and Fauci (and the media) are creating unneeded hysteria.
Thank you for that important detail.
The Dempanic worked and the economy will take huge hit. The Chinese started it and the media ran with it and the left cheered them on. They will burn down the entire country for power.
Likely it won’t. There is seemingly a 1-2% death rate. Anyway, how does closing bars and restaurants protect your loved ones?
Likely, if they wash their hands and faces several times a day and choose to avoid crowds, they’ll be OK.
You are panicking about the crashed economy, the election, etc.
Not hidden by your pretense at normalcy.
“Should be millions dead if you babies are correct”
If these precautions are not taken, there might be.
When was the last time China gave enough of a crap about “the flu” and a few thousand measly peasants to tear up all the roads into a city (their primary transport hub) and tank their own economy?
In Italy, 1 in 15 cases has DIED. Their HCS collapsed. First-world health care. Let’s just let this thing run amok and burn itself out, right? That ought to do wonders for the economy.
Im meeting a friend for dinner tomorrow night in Maryland. He and his wife took a cruise last week.
A couple friends play in a classic rock band. We went to see them last night in a local pub. Large crowd. Many of us knew each other.
I was hoping you would answer my question as to what your wife the nurse was actually seeing, or medical information she was getting.
But it’s just that she’s feeling worried about elderly parents I guess.
Thanks anyway.
His butflubro complacency. He’s a proud spreader.
Our choices seem to be:
1) Ignore it and watch our HCS collapse like in Wuhan and Italy. 1 in 15 cases dies in Italy. Who knows how many really died in Wuhan?
2) Engage in half measures so that enough people get sick to guarantee a win for the Dems in November. Plenty die, the economy suffers anyway and Trump gets blamed for the virus and the economy. No upside at all.
3) Take dramatic action and achieve an outcome better than the rest of the world, even if a few people complain that their freedoms have been temporarily curtailed. Win on lives saved and even possibly on the economy if things get back to normal faster for us than for others.
I’ll take number three. Terrible that any lives are lost, and it sucks that you can’t go to the buffet for dinner every day, but overall, I’ll trade your convenience for my wife and kids’ health any day of the week. Sorry if that upsets you. And if you think this is some kind of power grab to swipe all our rights once and for all, then I think you are a solipsistic fool. But if I am wrong, I’ll be out there on the street fighting beside you.
I trust President Trump to look out for us. If he fooled 60 million people so well that he could pull off your fascist conspiracy, well sucks to be us. I don’t see it, though.
War time Presidents generally fare well if they are not incompetent boobs. This is a war.
Stop being an antiwar protestor.
You are horribly underinformed.
Let us know how it turns out in a week or so.
Do what you want, man, but don’t expect the rest of us to be as narcissistic/nihilistic/fatalistic as you.
People are at risk and some of us actually have at-risk loved ones or are ourselves in the at-risk group.
just admit to being a fascist. Security in defense of liberty is a no-go for me.
DeWine’s order is more fascistic than Gavin Newsom’s. I kid you not
“Take a walk through a Walmart - the shelves have been emptied of products because dumbasses like Cuomo, DeWine and Fauci (and the media) are creating unneeded hysteria. “
Did those guys also cause the shelves to empty in Italy, or Asia?
Heck, to me, all those empty shelves are the first time the masses started to make any sense during this entire ordeal.
” Anyway, how does closing bars and restaurants protect your loved ones?”
They don’t take up ICU slots that my parents will likely need for this Non-Coronavirus issues.
In fact, that’s how our medical system is SUPPOSED to run - if someone needs an ICU slot, they get an ICU slot. Not happening in Italy these days.
Massachusetts closing all restaurants except for take-out,no dining in....and schools closed for 3 weeks.
actually in MA restaurants are fine up to 25 people.
“Heck, to me, all those empty shelves are the first time the masses started to make any sense during this entire ordeal.”
Didn’t think of it that way. Thanks Tol!
