Check the death rates for men vs women with this disease... statistically improbable.
Calamitous statistics? Thity two MILLION Americans coming down with this yars version of the flu and almost 20 THOUSAND so far dead look like “calamitous statistics” to me.
Why aren’t you concerned? Oh I know, the media isn’t telling you what to feel.
Black.
I’ve been pointing this out for a while now, and even some of our hysterical FReepers will not acknowledge this! In acknowledging this, they would have to admit the Fake News is driving this panic, just like they covered for Obama!
The world doesn’t shut itself down over a disease that has killed less than 11,000 people—and yet it has. I would like a reporter to ask President Trump this question: “Mr President, when this is all over, will you tell the American people what you really know about the Wuhan/Chinese virus?”
Kindly refer yourself to the latest issue of National Enquirer. It’s worth exact as much as your we’re all going to die nonsense.
Was he in his 60’s...?
“ Because the H1N1 Swine Flu was not as lethal as this one, which could kill 300,000 (not just hospitalize them) if left unchecked.”
Thanks for the encouraging numbers. Last time I heard it was several million.

OH NO, not “several million”!! Why BILLIONS COULD DIE!!!
MY PEARLS, MY PEARLS, WHERE ARE MY PEARLS!!!!
Facts Don’t Matter - the milennials are making that hashtag propagate.
Don’t trust anyone under thirty.
I’m sure they’re pressuring people to turn up. Remember when Russert died in studio several employees talked about how they were pressured to come in sick. John McEnroe, a tennis tv host with them, talked about how they drove him crazy with enforced, nonstop travel. Something that had an ill effect on Russert.
Thank you. Kindly refer to Occam’s Razor in understanding how to interpret events with two opposing explanations.
Probably the scariest part of this for me is the pearl clutching Wu Flu addicts who don’t bat at an eye at spending BILLIONS per fatality.
The Wu Flu Panic of 2020 will go down in the history books as one of the great manias of all time. Of that I have a doubt.
Since they already have medication which has proven to be effective and since all you can do is post the worst case scenario without any reason to believe that has a chance to happen given So. Korea and Taiwan successes in controlling this, I will accept your proof for what it is and that is pure guess work.
BTW, Fredo’s bro exempted media from the 25% dictum...
Born 1958.
So which one is Larry?
Ok....there is a reply below the tweet showing two shots of the white guy. Sorry if I got confused.
The pearl-clutching fools here and elsewhere are ripe for exploitation and oppression, and there's no shortage of tyrants-in-waiting who are more than happy to oblige them.
Of course they are. Fake news gonna fake. But it’s not working. Trump’s approval is going up. In times of danger, people look to a strong leader. Trump is that leader.
You are correct that with these measures, plus the vaccines and treatments, we can arrest the spread quickly and prevent the worst case scenarios.
