The American death rate will be far lower than the Italian and Spanish death rates - even with falsely attributing deaths of people with severe preconditions to Corona. Expensive drug cocktails recommended by Trump are helping many people. This will wind up being approximately as deadly as the h1n1 flu of a decade ago. Fauci is wrong to say 100-200k will die.
My concern is for the greater harm this shutdown will have on the economic lives of people and for the loss of constitutional rights. Hoping for an Easter end to this lockdown - end of April is excessive.
So you disagree with President Trump’s handling of this invisible enemy?
We are being told on that charming Corona Virus Daily thread (in which we read that the US military is seeking shelter in a bunker in Wyoming as reported by The Daily Mail), anyone who is worried about the financial situation is “a filthy money changer.” So, anti-Semitism seems to be breaking out here. Nice, huh?
Are the Fearpers following you around too?
I’ve been getting pinged and private mailed with insulting video links and snark comments on posts that I never wrote on.
Some Free Republic people have certainly lost a lot of etiquette over this whole thing. Everybody is entitled to an opinion and reasoned debate.
The Fearpers have crossed the line into harassment.
Sure it will.
Wishing and hoping are the best planning methods out there.
they keep harping on Detroit.,, Chicago,,New Orleans,,NYC,,,i can see where this is going, the response was racist,,,done on purpose to black majority cities on purpose...the media is about to “katrinaize” this..
Forcing a Depression on the county will be expensive in lives lost and lifespans shortened.
Agree.
I just want to address one thing in your comment. I don’t think these are expensive drug cocktails. They will cost <$100 for both of them and the course is pretty short. Reports are the turn around is in a matter of days.
So the HCQ for 5 days or so and the z-pack for a week.
