When was the last time that Baseball, Football, Basketball, Soccer, and motor sports worldwide have all cancelled their events at the same time?
When was the last time amusement parks, theaters, home and garden shows, auto shows, and conventions have all closed down at the same time?
When was the last time the United States closed down its borders to almost all foreign travel?
Never.
Either there is mass hysteria overtaking the entire world, or there’s more to this Coronavirus than they are telling us.
I pray it’s the former.
“The Wuhan Panic is a textbook case of the Rahm Emanuel principle that you never want a good crisis to go to waste.”
This is why the Gov is so powerful.
Whenever there is a crisis, the gov avoids blame and accountability, and says “we could have prevented this if only we had more funding.”
Then it gets the funding and a new department.
And grows.
These comparisons to earlier, less contagious diseases are
not really relevant. There is plenty of information about
the CV, just research it.
Taking public health advise from someone who is dying of
the “country’s most preventable disease” is pretty
dumb.
Is this what we are going to do now every time there is another flu season?
Flu deaths in the US during the 2017-2018 flu season totalled 61,000
I will bet big money that the total deaths from this years flu season PLUS all the coronavirus deaths ends up being LESS than that !!
YES! I am saying the TOTAL of the TWO this year will be less! and I will donate $100 to Free Republic if I am wrong.
Well this is not sheeple mentality. This is your federal government, President Trump, working behind the scenes and making sure these things are shutdown. No sports league would voluntarily forgo billions of dollars in revenue if they were't told to do so. It looks better and helps to avoid panic if they announce it themselves.
Or course we get tradeoffs...morons who think it's some kind of overblown conspiracy.
People have never changed. Same as they were in the first century.
