The employee, Larry Edgeworth, worked in the equipment room at the network's 30 Rockefeller Plaza office in midtown Manhattan.

Thank you both for your responses, and good morning to both. Can a link or a reference be furnished supporting the triggered outrage and the supposition inherent in the previous responses? Or will the responses stand alone, unsubstantiated, in face of the worldwide calamitous statistics to the contrary?

He could have weighed 400 lbs for all we know.

It's not hard to find a photo on line. He was a big guy, but not 400 lbs. And not very old: 61. He had health problems. A lot of people do. Some of them may not even know they have the problems until it's too late.

Where was the media in 2009??? <<<

Up Obama’s a$$ so far the couldn't see the light of day....

300+.

This is our beloved colleague, Larry Edgeworth, who just passed away due to COVID19. I adored him. He was full of spirit and joy and humor. He was the pro of pros. We traveled in 2008 on a campaign plane for two months. He was a bright light every day. Larry, dear, we will miss u pic.twitter.com/36Hg9WbiCG— Savannah Guthrie (@SavannahGuthrie) March 20, 2020

Pardon my French, but what the actual F?

[CodeToad]

Well, hell! that just confirms we need to shut down this country and let the communists take over.

Therr is no way you could possibly know that. As another poster said, “you are full of sh*t”

Why 300,000? Why not 6,000,000...or 10,000,000? I mean if you’re going to quote numbers either you or someone else pulled out of their butt then GO BIG.

Things are going to get much worse quick. I just got off the phone with board member of a large N VA hospital. They have two confirmed cases but 60+ suspected patients. They think at least 25 will be confirmed. That’s only one hospital.

Thank you, Oldexpat for confirming what we see everywhere. I am also copying some less informed members to bring them up to speed. Kind regards.

[who knows what evil?]

Bkmrk.

Tell me why they are “giddy”?

*Unemployment ramping up

*Chaos

Thank you for the kind question. I am pleased to refer to the Imperial College epidemiology study which has been used by multiple national governments. In this, a worst case scenario for an unchecked progression in the US is given as 2,000,000 deaths.

It has been posted many time, here it is:

“This is definitely a kill shot at the Trump presidency.”

No, it is an attempted kill shot and it will fail as have all the others.

LOL, yep. They were still in the closet back then. I thought something was up but my thought was he had a girlfriend. Boy was I shocked. The shock is the only reason he’s still alive. I came home early that night. Surprise surprise!! There was a strange car in the driveway when I pulled in. I pulled behind it where it couldn’t get out. The bolt was thrown on the inside of the door. I quietly broke the glass from the door and slid the bolt. It wasn’t quite what I expected. In my defense for being so stupid, I was really young and naive, straight off the farm.

If one of my loved ones "with other health issues" had died from the "plain old flu" this year -- one of near 30,000 Americans who have -- I'd be pretty pissed that it didn't make headlines, while this nonsense virus does every time.

[lodi90]

2 million is 5,000 deaths a day for a year. Get a grip. Find shelter and isolate yourself from the internet for a month.

Can someone please just state if it’s the black guy or not?

A link to this story provided a pix of 3 men, stating he was “on the left”. Fine, except article stated BIG guy, and middle white guy was very tall, and black man on left looked like (thin) Al Roker! So who the heck is he?

At least we heard 61, but we could judge more age and healthy appearance if we knew exactly who is whom.

[blackdog]

Good thing he didn’t expire before the test. Strange headline?

[billyboy15]

And you will be a hysterical Henny Penny til your dying day.

Don’t worry clutcher there will be another “catastrophe” along soon enough.

Stock up on those pearls!!

[spudville]

Now wait just a minute. These news people are berating our President, who is taking steps to mitigate this pandemic. They can’t keep their own people safe with their superior intellect?!
