Flubros stay strong. People will attack us for saying this is an overblown and overhyped flu. We will be proven right in the end. A global economic depression will cost more lives than this social distancing will save.
In the immortal words of Martin Luther: Here I stand, I can do no other.
I hope you’re right, but am afraid you might not be.
I’m in and to reiterate, screw the “Q” guys. Stay healthy and prosper. Fungus one, over and out.
Huh.
Does ‘Flubros Only’ indicate a religious ‘caucus’ status?
If not, you’re actively inviting what’s coming.
Agree ! My son, a doctor, said they just emptied out half the patients ( elective surgeries ) in preparation. Just not the numbers in our area for all those beds beds. Only a handful of cases. Oklahoma.
You are correct, but folks are so scared they’re not plugging in to the truth.
Q guys stand with the flubros. It’s all a cover to bring down the deepstate once and for all. We got this. Where we go one we go all and we are all in this together. Stay safe and carrion.
No lockdown in Oklahoma? Are services still open there?
Here's more proof this doesn't justify a 50% reduction in GDP:
death rate by date:
4.06% March 8 (22 deaths of 541 cases)
3.69% March 9 (26 of 704)
3.01% March 10 (30 of 994)
2.95% March 11 (38 of 1,295)
2.52% March 12 (42 of 1,695)
2.27% March 13 (49 of 2,247)
1.93% March 14 (57 of 2,954)
1.84% March 15 (68 of 3,680)
It's trending DOWN.
Worked at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (therefore, Penn).
Love that you have this thread. No, don’t put me on the ping list. But hang in FluBros! I certainly hope you are right!
Bump.
It’s just the flu, bro. And the flu kills way more 32 year olds than this will.
I’ll proudly join this group if y’all have me lol Poverty is the greatest killer the world has ever known and we have maybe two more weeks of this at the most before we destroy countless lives. Funny those pushing for this shutdown the hardest, Government and Celebrities, are the ones best positioned Economically to withstand it!
Yeah, we noticed as much.
Here, I"ll throw you a bone.
Apocalypse Fatigue: Why Won't At-Risk Boomers Panic About the Wuhan Virus?
Although I’m a little too young to be considered a Boomer, I am over 50, and I’d be glad to explain why the over-50 demographic is not panicking in the fashion that our young, know-it-all journalists would like. It’s simple. We’ve been through a lifetime of media-hyped hysterias and apocalyptic predictions. If not complete hoaxes, they were falsely reported or over-hyped. Here are a few:
Overpopulation and Global Famine: This was promised not just globally, but domestically too. We were supposed to have run out of food and descended into global starvation a long time ago. All the experts agreed.
Day Care Center Child Molestations: This hysteria sent many innocent people to jail. Local and national media fanned the flames with accounts of “numbers growing daily” and videos of anguished parents. It was a fraud perpetrated by highly credentialed “experts” who believed that pretty much every child exposed to an adult had been molested. The children just needed help remembering it. Those of us who saw through the hysteria were muzzled, because to question the veracity of the hysteria invited accusations that you too were a child molester. It was like Salem in 1693. The bravest journalist I’ve ever read is the WSJ’s Dorothy Rabinowitz, for daring to unravel the terror and how it spread.
Killer Bees: We treat it as a joke now, but we were promised an invasion of swarming “Africanized” bees that would kill livestock and children. It was soon going to be unsafe to even go outside in the southern US without thick layers of protective clothing. All the experts agreed.
Killer Mold: Toxic mold in the ‘90s was kind of like radioactive waste, only deadlier. Or at least that’s what the media had us believing. The terror of discovering mold in schools was met with media alerts, school shutdowns, and local TV stations filming panicked parents as they picked up their crying children, just moments before the tikes were engulfed by the attacking mold.
Global Cooling: A “consensus of scientists” assured me this was real, and that its impact on agriculture would probably lead to my death by starvation.
Global Warming: According to “scientific” predictions from yet another “consensus of scientists,” the Arctic should now be ice free, snowfalls a thing of the past, and New York’s West Side Highway under water.
It goes on and on. Acid Rain. Peak Oil. Ozone. Alar Apples. Y2K.
Maybe the Wuhan Virus is finally “The Big One.” But after decades of the media fraudulently screaming “APOCALYPSE IS IMMINENT!!!” it is not irrational for Boomers to dismiss the latest hysteria....
Since you are all impervious, please volunteer at local medical facilities.
I’m down flew brah ...
I'm not concerned with direct death rates, but with overwhelming the medical system.
