You know the rules. Only flubros and flubras. Oh-no FReepers (AKA Fearpers) are banned. Freeper Preppers who fear the virus impact on the world are also not permitted but Freeper Preppers who fear the panic and government intervention and toilet paper shortages are permitted in the thread.
This government/media panic destroys our economy and kills more than the Coronavirus, which is barely worse than a bad flu. I know there is trouble when one of those 4 Democrat witches (I get them mixed up and cant remember which) said she supported Trump.
Italy’s bad luck Wed (478 dead) gets worse Thu (620 dead).
Test question: Is Italy doing everything it can to mitigate death?
Answer: Yes. Not enough staff, PPE, beds, ventilators, coffins, funeral homes, grave diggers, crematoriums, etc.
Italy also has the oldest population in Europe, high population density, lots of smokers and a crap-ton of cheap Chinese labor. Plus it’s just after Chinese new year so how many of those workers went “home for the holidays?”. Its the proverbial perfect storm.

Simple arithmetic also shows that only 1 in 1300 people in Italy are infected.
Population = 60,800,000/47,021 cases = 1293. To hear the Doomsters tell it, every other person in the country is infected.
There is way too much fear out there. And it is being wielded like a weapon against the stupid and poorly informed.

Another interesting statistic. The country with the greatest concentration of infection is San Marino. They have had only 151 cases, but since their population is 33,562, the ratio is greater.
But it serves the MSM’s purpose to quote Italy’s large absolute numbers, with no regard to proportion.
No question. It is deadly, and is many fold more contagious that the Chinese Flu.
Mashed potatoes is my favorite food. I could honestly eat that for every meal. Or even eat it all the time without even stopping.
I just bought a potato field and a 'black swan' hatchery and will be cooking it up directly. There is a large contingent that's gonna be hungry soon, out here beyond the trees.

The infection rate goes up daily. 4,032 people died in Italy in the last 10 days. More than US soldiers killed in Iraq over 10 years. More than 9/11. More than Pearl Harbor. There is no cure for stupid. So “flubros” can go out and cough on people and kill them? Please take this thread to Democratic Underground.
Today I'm afraid the "cure" is going to be much, much worse than the disease.......
How far has the IQ of the average American fallen in the last, let’s say, 50 years ? Or is it just the Left Media pushing this hysteria ? And then the “racist” name-calling if I refer to it by it’s geographical origin !!!
Considering introducing new descriptors for my favorite foods, just for fun ~ hmmmm ~ so referring to geographic origin is not so “offensive”. Any suggestions on new, humorous descriptors appreciated
The crisis is political in nature. The failed democrats are destroying the country in the faint hope of regaining power.
The solution is to rid the country of democrats. After they are dead and gone we can consider if we are all in this together.
About 3 months ago I started warning my friends and family.
Many of them gave me short shrift (oh, there goes Dad again with an eyeroll)
Basically telling them I’m not as worried about the flu as I am about people’s behavior.
They’re glad they listened to me and stocked up way back when.
Fascinating map. Click on each county for the county's stats.
I’m Italian. Too much mashed potatoes and pasta got me fat (and too much sitting around). Then the high blood sugar put a stop to all that. Now I cook mostly at home (always used to, in fact) but use a lot of fresh cauliflower and broccoli and olive oil. Just made a roast last night - 2 1/2 half hours in the oven, fork tender. Added chopped cauliflower toward the end. Lots of fresh garlic, too. Hardly miss the potatoes at all.
Closed thread?
Did yuflubros show the daily coronavirus threads, now chinese virus threads, the same consideration?
Those werent closed.
This one is.
Its only the flu, bro.
Exactly right. But how do flubros calm the panic? Every death now is a news article and the heartstrings are tugged.
If the Respiratory Distress was so recent how is it known how much she may improve. Couldn’t she get back to walking normally?
Evidently not because I’m able to post here.
As of this morning, mo.health.gov no longer lists cases by county, only statewide numbers.
