Scarborough: 'Not to Disturb Anybody,' but 'Very Real Possibility' 'Health Care System Collapses'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/19/2020 6:26:52 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

There's a difference between warning the public to take a threat seriously, and throwing in the cards and saying doom is near.

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough claimed that he "certainly" wasn't intending "to disturb anybody." But Scarborough then went on to predict the "very real possibility" that our "health care system collapses."

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

They are disagreeing because we will not get there if the plan works. That is why all the extraordinary precautions that seemed ridiculous AT THE MOMENT. The President has been trying to block the breakdown of the health system. The Demshoviks and media are NOT helping and are trying to stop the effort at every turn.

Good post.

WuFlu collapsed the medical system in Italy and could collapse it here.

I’ve already heard of hospitals calling for the public to donate masks and other basic medical supplies. They didn’t prep for this despite the obviousness to many of us that we would be facing this crisis here soon.

China lied to the world and instead tried to cover up the crisis. When they locked down a billion people we should have immediately gone into crisis prep here.

Absent some positive medical treatment news we are in for a long fight and are only at the early stages.

He needs to be quarantined.
He’s a carrier of stupidity and is trying to infect others.

If we persistently come to every position based on whether we like the person who utters an observation, we are at the mercy of our own prejudices. then we are Democrats and Never-Trumpers.

The rooting for a disaster has become blatant. The reality I see is still a handful of deaths from this disease in the US - tragic, but about what you’d get from a bad weekend of violence in Chicago or Baltimore. Meanwhile, our economy is being destroyed, people are being thrown out of work, my 401k is bombed out, and government at all levels is issuing orders of questionable legality, infringing on freedom at all levels.

[ Joe Scarborough ]

I know that when it comes to news, commentary and editorials, there's no team I trust better than Joe and Mika. Their professionalism is always on display. The most trusted name in news - next to Brian Williams.

[Trying to disturb people is precisely Scarborough’s goal.]

You bet it is. Absolutely.

The Democrat media whores always propagandize the liberal lemmings.

Always. They never stop.

OK, Joke, in case you didn’t notice, we’re already trying to prevent that. Keep up, man! /Joe Biden

I’m sure that collapse is possible, but we’re taking efforts to make sure it’s less and less LIKELY. Did Scareborough bother with such details as GM’s discussion about ramping up production of ventilators, Governor Hogan’s (MD) effort to add 6,000 beds to the state’s hospital capacity, the efforts of millions of Americans to go out as infrequently as possible to avoid catching or spreading the disease, the FDA’s efforts to expedite approval of that old malaria drug to treat it?

I doubt it.

I suspect it will be closer to a year’s worth of violence in the big cities in toto, but if our efforts work, it certainly won’t be 6 or 7 figures like some of these people are saying.

As horrible a person as Mika may be, she does have great legs.

And Joe did what he had to do to get them.

Our medical people are being heroic... they’re on the front lines risking their lives and Joe’s taking pot shots at them?

That’s a new low.
