Looks like a war of words will probably erupt here on Free Republic. I am not in favor of closing everything down. I do not see this thing becoming an epidemic. People have banded Governor the wind here in Ohio and he will single-handedly destroy the economy here. 26 people oh my we’re all going to die. We must close everything down. Yeah this person Kentucky definitely should be forced to be isolated I am fine with that. But Newt Gingrich comparing Italy and mapping that did the rest of the world is how we are supposed to react no I’m afraid not.
Read this story..and think about what he might have saved himself from had he listened about the warnings and social distancing.
YOu don’t think it will happen to you??? He didn’t either

As such, these pronouncements of testing positive almost always state the poor victim has corona virus in his/her system but not specifically COVID-19.
Thank you...I’ve been trying to give another angle of perspective on it:
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.”
