There is no doubt the leftist mainstream media is hyping COVID-19’s threat out of proportion to make Trump look bad. A side effect of this strategy is that the resulting measures will curb the spread of COVID-19, and make the leftist MSM look like idiots.
Two outcomes are certain. If COVID-19’S outcome is mild the MSM will say that Trump over-reacted. If COVID-119’s outcome is more severe the MSM will say that Trump under-reacted.
There are people in this world who just love scaring themselves. That’s why Hollywood keeps producing those horror films.
The testing plan didn’t magically appear. Everyone acts like it was decided the night before it was announced. Frankly after the Swine flea epidemic the government should have had plans for this and it shouldn’t have been thrown into Trump to reinvent the wheel, but with democrats in charge it’s no wonder the responsible decisions fell to the floor.
Italy also is the country with the second oldest median age in the world. Japan is first but the Japanese have a totally different way of greeting each other. Italy also has many Chinese nationals working in textile factories in the region where the corona virus is rampant.
“60 million Americans infected.”
But China, with over a billion people and a lot of crowded cities, has about 84,000 cases?
Your dismissiveness reminds of doctors and nurses that say relax, nothing to worry about, go home, only to see the patient sicker or dying. You are rationing care and telling people to ignore the smoke around them, wait until the fire laps that their toes before taking action. And then they will be looking for your help, and you’ll be sick or too busy to care. And I mean this constructively.
Really, you know how to practice medicine? You remind me of all the patients that clog up the system with self centered and irrelevant complaints that require neither care nor support, but demand attention. And I mean that constructively
Italy is obviously more transparent and better indicator. They have good healthcare, good hygiene, and are not a 3rd world cesspool.
Heat and sunshine will curb the spread of COVID-19. China’s filthy cultural habits started this epidemic in the dead of winter. Northern American states have a higher transmission rate than southern states. If Americans work this correctly we can delay its spread here until warmth squelches it. Hopefully this will all be a memory in November.
AND.... we don’t eat Bat$hit soup!
FDR did not have the evil media bashing him in every way possible 24/7. Many people in this country actually believe that Trump is a stupid liar who is only interested in increasing his own family’s wealth. These are frightening times, for many reasons.
Hope it is your and not my infected neighbors break quarantine to comeing over and lick door knobs. Some people do that without quarantine. Libs are f’n nuts. What do you suggest we do with them?
Keep fighting the good fight, Doc. Your rational points are well made.
Who knows, the panickers in here may yet prove to be right, but the data to this point make that FAR from a certainty.
That’s a pretty good description. I would hate to have to share a fox hole with any of them.
I don’t think we’ll beat it until we have a vaccine. Under this president, though, I think that changes that were long overdue to our pandemic response procedures will finally be made.
I’m also hoping that as sh*t gets real the ranks of the Americans up Xi’s butt will begin to thin. We need our pharma manufacturing back.
Hopefully the necessity of working and schooling from home will also start to break down over reliance on certain housing markets that are currently overburdened.
Atta boy, Doc.
Or Atta Girl, Doc.
People were patriotic and like their country. Today we have entire political party that hates the country and media that dies to.
Although I haven’t seen this anywhere I wonder if hospitals are testing everyone who enters and may limit who may enter.
I think we can beat it quickly if we hunker down. It may come back in the fall.
That is when we will likely need a vaccine. As far as China we all need to stop buying from China. That would send the most powerful message.
