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:

The drop in oil prices is b/c Saudi Arabia is threatening to flood the world's oil supply, thus putting the Russian oil producers in jeopardy. It is also squeezing small American oil producers and fracking operations. If a drop in demand in China b/c of the virus was causing the drop in price, the Saudis would accomplish nothing by flooding the market. This is all a power play by the Saudis to punish Russia having failed to reach an agreement at OPEC+.

It also puts more economic pressure on Iran.
Why can only imagine what the CV is doing internally to their economy.

This will fizzle just like all the other pandemic scares.

It's almost like some WANT to see a pandemic. I stopped sending the red flag up in my life....like, 20 pandemics ago.

lol

I don’t believe our dependency on China is any better for them than it is us. The CCP is surrounded by billions of people who will turn violent if their economy crashes and they run out of food.

No apology needed friend, we are all hoping and waiting for the best.

I am sorry if I interjected too much negativity.

A deep breathe could be good for all of us about now.

God be with you.

Iran is in big trouble. The mullahs are old and have apparently infected each other. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys!

The people of Iran may actually get what they have been protesting for without firing a shot- regime change (which would be awesome!).

So very like my point that if they were covering the so called “regular flu” like this coronavirus people would be staying home in droves.

It is the unknown that worries people so much. It could be very bad or it could be a nothing burger or it could be somewhere in between. Only time will tell.

I work in a buffet in Las Vegas. Business is way down especially that of our regular elderly guests who come nearly every day. Those that do come are not worried any more than they would be about the flu. They distrust the media way more than President Trump.

What more can the president do? I’m not an infectious disease expert so I can’t answer that. It seems he is trying to be proactive to try to slow down the spread at the same time trying to calm the panic.

This is the first real test of his presidency. The garbage the media and dems have thrown these last four years only makes him stronger. He loves the game!

I think he continues doing what he’s doing, hold the press briefings from the task force with clear facts and information and without the trolling he does so well.

In the end, it’s all in God’s hands. His will be done.

The sky is falling the sky is falling the sky is falling

Where is the disaster? potential disaster, maybe but not very likely. Jimmy Carter of the GOP???? What kind of hyperbolic and ridiculous statement is that. Why not use Hitler or maybe Darth Vader

I don’t mean it that way. Focus on proper steps to help vulnerable demographics. Don’t wreck the economy, which will hurt much more than CV.

Why are you calling him racist when he isn’t?

Allendale - though, do note that the death rate by age group is the same whether Caucasian or Mongoloid — people over 80 are most at risk, followed by people between 60 to 80.

Children below 10 have no instances of infections and the death rate below 40 is 0.2% (for 40 to 60 its 0.4%)

Those death rates by age are the same no matter what race.
