I don’t believe any of the numbers from the Chi-coms.

First, it is the lawyers...

Second, if we are trying to follow the steps that have reduced the spread of the virus...short of lock downs how will you stop the spread?

I understand the screams of wanting to stop the panic. I agree with that. But if the government does nothing to stop the spread...what should they be doing? Nothing?

Is there a medium position? Or are you advocating doing nothing?

I don’t trust them either. At this point, I would say China’s interest is to continue to go with inflated numbers (lethality) to continue the global hysteria and crash markets. They think we have more to lose than they do.

"I guess we haven't learned anything from these past 3 years..so infuriating sad!!"

Actually, since almost half of US citizens are dumbstruck democretins, there is no surprise at the amount of gullible idiots consumed by the chinese wuhan virus hysteria.

I don't know. I'm suspicious that California has 5 times the population of Washington but less than half as many cases with far fewer deaths. I think there's some lying or fudging of numbers somewhere but I don't know in which direct. Plus, California has a far lower mortality rate. What are we doing differently than Washington?

But the amount of testing much be known for a valid comparison. There is not much difference as re. average age and estimated Chinese American populations is less

So essentially less than 1% of the population in a ‘worse’ case scenario... So... What’s all the fuss about?

A million sounds like a lot... Guess what? That’s how many die from Malaria each and every year. Sanity needs to prevail in this hyped up hysterical crises.

The scaremongers need to be squelched and the sane people need to come to our rescue. This is a chance for the Donald to prove that he’s above the nonsense of the swamp. Tell America to get on with it’s business and ignore the foolishness. Oh yes... And people will die but they already do though on a very regular basis, so stop the hysterics.

Ain’t it the truth! I come here for news, and all I get is hysterical coronavirus threads! I would think 15 threads are more than enough, but I guess not. I don’t mind the lighthearted banter, but the hysterical ones apparently think they’re going to get us ALL in a froth. Not I! I’m trusting the LORD, and taking sensible precautions. Not stocking up or cleaning out store shelves, etc. Not buying up all the diapers, when I don’t even have a baby. My hairs not on fire, either. They can say, “I told you so”, if it comes to that. Until that, I’m cool.

The media are corrupt to the core. A more reprehensible group I don’t think I’ve ever seen.

If this ends up as just a bit worse than “normal” flu, we MUST hold the MSM directly responsible for the massive economic losses from their “crying wolf” (as they do with so many issues - eco/climate, storms, hate crimes, etc.).

Massive lawsuits. End the Enemedia. No mercy.

Please, only an idiot would advocate doing nothing. As important as the keeping the public safe is, nothing is more important than keeping the rat Out of the White House. If the rat wins the destruction and misery inflicted on the country will be 100 worse than anything the virus can do.

Trump shouldn’t have used tariffs against China.

So...as I asked....what is the medium stance?

We get accused of trying to incite panic. I suggest that is incorrect.

You guys suggest this is some political conspiracy ( and you guys call us paranoid!). I am open to the flu comparison if we can slow this down to a trickle rather than a deluge. Everyone wins in that scenario.

But, if we do not shut down mass gatherings that is not going to happen.

So..if we don’t shut down those gathering places, what do you suggest we do?

ALL schools closing in Oregon on Monday...

In this city as well. Which class is the least in danger of CV-19
