HIYA KIDS! Hiya, Hiya, Hiya!
No! It’s not the ANDROMEDA STRAIN!
And no, we’re not “all gonna die.”
If you have it—it might be nothing: a bad cold. Or, you might die. But not many people seem to have it. Those who die seem mostly old or sick. Not as many as get regular flu. And it’s nowhere near the reach and scope of SARS. Which was a whole ‘nuther panic, of and in itself.
Forgotten. Because Precious Peach Obama was President, and liberal liars in the media never went near it—or him, in all his lying Glory.
It seems to me that the current toilet paper panic, which came FROM CHINA—the Wuhan Flu, the Kung Flu, or the Egg Flu Yong—whatever—Is, 500% liberal media hype, and, .1% maybe, possibly real.
HOWSOME-EVER! It is nothing to panic about, and no reason to shut down the American economic engine.
IT’S NOT “THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN!”
I’m sick and tired of hearing and reading about it.
OK, it’s real, but it’s also way overhyped. It’s liberal-engineered, and a running plot to, “Get Trump.”
Kids—they believe—the libs—that they finally have got ahold of something to “bring him down.” Except it won’t. It will backfire, like everything else against Trump has done.
Because Americans are uninformed, stupid, and self-centered, yes, but—by and large—they are not crazy.
Watch the libs broker in a woman…oh…say…maybe Hillary Clinton. Because they think that will get them the white house; especially when she taps some “woman of color,” to run as her vice president.
Because this Witch Hillary Clinton, knows the ONLY way she can stay out of jail is to run for office.
And win.
And let the flying blue monkeys handle anybody who says, or even thinks a single word against her.
Because that’s Exactly how totalitarian, commie, basterds like Saul Alinsky, Fidel Castro, Joe Stalin, and Hillary Clinton operate.
They will say, it was just in case....one expensive cya
Coronavirus in N.Y.: ‘Deluge’ of Cases Begins Hitting Hospitals
In a startlingly quick ascent, officials reported on Friday that the state was closing in on 8,000 positive tests, about half the cases in the country. The number was 10 times higher than what was reported earlier in the week. In the Bronx, doctors at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center say they have only a few remaining ventilators for patients who need them to breathe...

It’s all commie BS.
And I have a different view. Panic on.
Yes, the panic is overblown....but I don’t see how every country closing it’s borders, widespread resentment towards our reliance on China, and fear of the homeless population spreading this vitus helps the Democrat agenda in any way.... All of these things play right into Trump’s hands
Is this as much a proxy war on China? Trump is now a “wartime president”...
They think they are smarter than the rest of the world and probably think there are actors being intubated.
Plunk your magic twanger Froggy!!
I think FR may have an infection of its own with all these threads and inane comments trying to gaslight everyone into believing their is nothing to fear. Hopefully Jim will step in soon.
Great Depression II will kill a hell of a lot more people than will the virus.
Oh yes and all of the experts have told us that. Because of course the experts are experts of course did you know that they are experts?
Meanwhile, Biden has been totally removed from the news cycle in the MSM’s feeding frenzy over the virus.
This, as well as the possibility of effective meds meaning the shutdown of the entire economy might be foreshortened, may have things looking rosier by November than the MSM expects. Their disaster peak may have occurred too soon.
Wile E. Coyote fails again.
86% of people infected have no symptoms at all – they are basically immune.
Of the 14% who show symptoms, 82% of those are mild and resolve themselves.
This leaves 14% x 18% = .14 x .18 = .0252 ~ 2.5% who are severe or critical, almost all of whom are elderly and with existing conditions like cancer, leukemia, heart disease, smokers, vapers, emphysema, liver and kidney disease.
About 3 million people die (a little less than 1%) in the United States each year from all causes, mostly elderly again, it doesn’t harm society. So now, at the worst, we may - may have 7 million die this year, again mostly elderly, - it will not affect anything to lose these people, they are just dying a little sooner than they would have.
State Governors are destroying our economy and society to “protect the vulnerable” – the extra 1.5% who are already sick and would die in a few years anyway.
They are yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theatre, when all there is a cigarette smoldering in a corner.
The next thing will be the cancellation of elections to maintain their new dictatorial powers.
More will die from shortages of blood from cancellation of blood drives than will die from the virus – and these deaths will be the young and otherwise healthy – car accidents., etc.
Minorities should be up in arms! Their future is being sacrificed for a small number of old already sick white people near the end of their lives.
You are cold-hearted. Heartless people like you give conservatives a bad name. My wife’s 55-year colleague died of CV Wednesday and 2 others are serious in the hospital. Even if what you say is correct, temper it with mercy and love.
They are not all white people why would you say that all are elderly and immune compromised however they are not all white!!
+1
Your post proves my point. How many of those you know would have passed away as a result of the common flu simply because of age?
You call me cold-hearted and heartless, yet you fail to even acknowledge that the common flu kills many many orders of magnitudes more people EVERY SINGLE YEAR than the Wuhan virus.
Your response is PURELY EMOTIONAL which again makes my point. As I have repeatedly pointed out and YOU are the Poster Boy for, FreeRepublic is populated by Emotional Liberal Basketcases. People who PRETEND they are CONSERVATIVE but, who in fact, are not.
There has been for Millenia upon Millenia viral outbreaks that have affected the human population. This is a fact that will never ever end.
In this case it was triggered by the Chinese desire to consume disgusting animal products for sexually virulent superstitions and fueled by their superstitious beliefs of sexual virulency.
This coupled with the LAZY European desire to do business with the Communist Chinese with their slave labor rates and promises of benefits to the Euro’s with nearly no effort on the Euro’s part is a recipe for LAZY EURO DISASTER.
It’s being treated as the zombie apocalypse. The new March Madness.
I am not smart enough to know what is happening, but I know this:
American investors are not being helpful in this time of need at all. Who are all these people who wake up every day and SELL, SELL, SELL.
I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE AND I THING IT IS TOTALLY UNPATRIOTIC. I hope I never have to deal with such people who do not care about this wonderful country or their futures or their families.
They just keep giving the order to SELL STOCKS and I despise them.
Hitlery was probably patient zero back in 2016, remember her constantly coughing up that disgusting green crud?
*********************************************************
Hell, something demonic deep in her created it and she coughed it out unto the world ... like the tiniest of hair balls.
