A month into it, and there’s 10 or 20 dead. Yeah, this is a real pearl harbor. Meanwhile at least 16,000 have died from the flu. This is an over blown, overhyped, media induced, democrat fueled panic.

More like a peril harbored by panic mongering ex spurts whose wisdom is not to be questioned.

U didnt read the article.

You’re right. And the Dems never let a crisis go to waste so they exaggerate it to their benefit. In this case it is to defeat Trump in Nov. It won’t work.

By summer, things will be getting back on track. It’s a long time until Nov.

"A month into it, and there’s 10 or 20 dead. Yeah, this is a real pearl harbor. Meanwhile at least 16,000 have died from the flu. This is an over blown, overhyped, media induced, democrat fueled panic." You sound like the kind of person who should read the article and watch the video it contains.

“At least 16,000 have died from the flu.” Yes, they have. We have vaccines for the flu. We have easy, readily available testing for the flu. And yet at least 16,000 people have died from the flu.

We do not yet have a vaccine for the coronavirus. We do not yet have easy, readily available testing for the coronavirus.

If 16,000 people can die in a few months from a virus for which we have a vaccine and easy testing, how many could die from a virus for which we do NOT have a vaccine and easy testing?

Over a hundred die from opioids evert day

Thousands die from abortion every day

And those deaths are preventable but not even a media concern

I tend to agree that things are escalating way out of proportion. A "Pearl Harbor" moment? More like a "pearl clutching" moment to me.

There's an interesting CoronaVirus website that I've been checking in on lately. I like this site because it just gives you the data - without all the emotion and drama.

As of this morning's update, there are now 80,995 cases documented in China with 3,085 deaths. 54,728 of those 80,995 are said to be now recovered.

Now even if you don't trust China's numbers, and wouldn't blame you if you didn't, the next most impacted country on the list is Italy with 21,157 cases and 1,411 deaths so far.

Certainly something to pay attention to and take precautions against. Would this be getting the same frenzied apocalyptic media coverage if Hillary was president and not Donald Trump? I would have to say most likely not.

You’re right. Thanks for pointing out those numbers. Only 3000 died during 9-11 and that only happened once. I’m not so sure what we got so worked up about. Thanks for the clarity. Meanwhile -go study f(x)= e^x. When you actually get a handle on that-respond.

It all designed to "Get Trump".
