What a prize...can’t think of two more deserving.

NYC should’ve shut down weeks ago.

[datura]

The FluBros need to answer how many medical professionals- wearing full PPE - die from the flu.

This ain’t the flu. I seem to get flu like episodes annually.

I sure as hell don’t want to catch this crap.

[Jane Long]

Thanks for the TX numbers update.

[riri]

sure as hell don’t want to catch this crap.

I will tell ya what though, if you could guarantee it went away and you conferred some level of immunity, I'd almost rather catch it and move on.

My spidey senses tell that it aint the case. I have got a bad feeling, you've got a partner for life with this thing.

Field report:

We are having a real snowstorm here in northern CT—the forecasters said maybe an inch, won’t stick to roads.

My car thinks differently... :-)

I visited the UPS store. They are open as an “essential” business. They had a sign on the door indicating only four people were allowed in the store at a time with six foot social distancing required.

There was only one other customer and we kept a good distance from each other.

The big commuter bus stop in the suburb was totally empty—normally there are no parking spaces left.

The roads had some traffic, but it was lighter than usual—we had an easy winter and folks seem to have forgotten how to drive in the snow.

The plows were just starting to come out and play—the forecast totally fooled them. Roads in my area had a good inch of snow on them that had not been touched by a plow—and it is still snowing hard.

[BusterDog]

“I’d almost rather catch it and move on.”

Try not to catch it in the two week period before they run out of hospital beds and ventilators.

[Jane Long]

Yeah...I guess he realized Plan A was a huge FAIL.

These people aren’t even following quarantine orders, though.

[Robert DeLong]

So you really are just an obtuse fella, aren't you Steve. It doesn't take a doctor to realize the truth and not just act like a panicked fool. BTW, just for the record Dr. DeLong was my father, but through his associations I knew plenty of doctors and thus learned a lot from them. One important thing I learned was not all doctors are brilliant, even though they were all well educated. Just look around, many doctors and many differences of opinion abound. Even among those who study viruses. Some are even panicky fools just like you apparently are.

So far only .0001166486% of those in this country have been identified as confirmed cases. Death from the virus so far is only .000015571% of those in this country.

So far .11142857% have been hospitalized by the flu in just the U.S., and deaths have been .00657143%. This has been a milder year for the U.S I might add.

So far only .00478361% of the world has been confirmed infected and only 00020915% have died.

You can see the flu has caused more deaths in just the U.S., in a mild year, than have died worldwide from CoVid-19 so far.

Do not allow yourself to be so panicked by this. The numbers just do not justify it. Besides it is not good for your immune system to become stressed. So you are hurting yourself directly, as well as, many others indirectly.

The panic has been generated by a press who are desperate to bring down President Trump. They are the sole cause of the panic. Though we have had much worse, at least so far, viruses hit us they remained silent. In fact they remained silent in 2009, or at lest did not make a big deal of it, when the H1N1 virus took 12,000 lives in this country. Because the Messiah was the resident occupying the White House at that time. Don't assist them in succeeding.

This is a very smart guy with no political axe to grind.

Please take a look—you can start at three weeks ago to understand his points:

Delaying ukraine aid was impeachable offense? What about aid to Americans right now?

Winning post of the day.

Thank you, Dr. DeLong.

Oh, I aint leaving my house. And I am really close to heading to my place way out in the sticks.

That's some angry FluBro math right there. It doesn't even begin to make sense, though. Really a foolish argument right from the get go.

Here is some reading for you to get up to speed on what's happening:
