Tucker Carlson Tells The Hard Truth [COVID19]
American Conservative ^ | March 9, 2020 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 03/10/2020 6:16:37 AM PDT by C19fan

This is a hugely important opening monologue from Tucker Carlson tonight — especially for conservatives, but actually for everybody. And most of all, for that Fox News watcher in the White House. Straight-up truth-telling right here:

He criticizes unnamed “leaders” for downplaying the virus’s seriousness, but we all know he’s talking about Donald Trump. Look at this: same administration, same day:

Swine Flu (H1N1) of 2009-2010 killed 12,500 Americans and the world didn’t end, I don’t think this will be as bad

I asked my wife to ask a few doctors (there are 4 in her office,and she has been there for 20 years) what they thought of this Corona virus and their answers were basically it's a flu and no one seems as worried as the news media. Same with my daughter in the office where she works. When asked she just shrugged her shoulders and said the doctors there are not worried like the media.

“Non sequitur much?”

You might want to look that term up so you can use it correctly; it’s painfully obvious the topic of this thread is the coronavirus. Oy.

Why do you suppose Carter wasn’t re-elected if everybody thought he was such an unsurpassed example of roaring success? Also in that era, the mayor of Chicago lost his job for failing to handle the aftermath of a snowstorm. People get sacked when they don’t deliver, that’s just how life works and always has worked like that.

Unfortunately you are correct. Trump the optimist earns political dividends for a few days at most. Trump realism will do the opposite in the short run.

Right now Trump needs to stick to explaining what we are doing to slow down and stop the spread of this virus. But mostly he needs to stop saying anything about outcomes.

He doesn’t know how widespread and deep this infection will go. NOBODY DOES. The straight truth has served Trump well. He should stick to it. The possibility of a President Bernie Sanders or President Joe Biden scares me more than this virus,

Tucker Carlson - please wake me up when large numbers of healthy adults start dying.

By the way, multiple countries have reported that children appear to have the highest resistance to this virus.

Rinse repeat.

Are YOU working with patients suffering from the cold virus?

No?

You have every right to be terrified of a cold virus....we have every right to mock you mercilessly for it.

“It should be sobering to everyone to understand the scope of challenge”

Yup:

(FULL TEXT AT LINK)
“If we want to understand how powerful an opponent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is, let’s take a look what has been required to stop it in China. The Chinese government has essentially used a social nuclear weapon in its efforts. Let’s talk about this, to understand what US is facing.
The Chinese have had the most COVID19 cases so far (80,859), but the number of new cases has dropped from 100’s per day a month ago to ~46 per day now — in a country of 1.4B people. This is an astonishing achievement from a public health point of view.
We can get a sense of how strong something is by getting a sense of what sort of force is required to stop it, to borrow a Newtonian physics metaphor. COVID-19 requires a powerful force to stop. This is clear from the Chinese response”

I am SOOOO SICK - of the Chicken Littles who swallow the media line hook, line and sinker! Just what in the HELL do you think Trump is supposed to do?

What CAN be done IS being done. I’m tired of seeing Freepers act like spineless, brainless, Orange Man Bad Candy Assed Media-Whipped pussies!

Since threads on the topic of the coronavirus crisis are upsetting to you, you should look elsewhere on FR for something that might help to calm you down. I imagine there are some threads of people posting their pet’s pics, for example.
