It’s just the flu, bro!

After reading more about Coronavirus I have come to the realization that this is a FRACTION as deadly as the flu. This is a global act of herd mentality, asinine governance. We will look back on this and say how did I believe this BS. Some bullet point evidence and comments mixed together:

1. People who die who have Corona are being listed as Corona deaths even if that was not the major cause of death (reports of this especially in Italy) 2. It isn’t killing healthy people. Any disease that can’t kill a normally healthy person is not one to fear. 3. This will wind up killing a fraction of what the flu kills. It will kill less than half of what Obama’s swine flu killed. 4. This will highlight how stupid people are to believe the media. 5. This is an excuse for socialism - red flag was when one of the 4 young Democratic witches said she supported Trump. That witch wouldn’t support a common cure for cancer if she thought it would help Israel. 6. Remember all of this a year from now. The brain doesn’t like to be wrong. It has a psychological impact that causes pain when one realizes they are stupid. Remember who said it was not a big deal. Especially remember which politicians tried to manipulate your fear. They will make up excuses for doing so. Don’t let these politicians forget they were idiots.

I'm not easily misled, thanks for asking.

Question for you, do you think the dozens of reports of the Italian Army being used to remove corpses from the at-capacity morgues there are all the result of "ambitious media person" too? Are the photos faked? Are they really doing something else, buy lying about it?

You know the John Hopkins chart has the state-by-state infection and death toll. It's pretty obvious that New York City is the worst hit place in the USA right now, so, no I don't think a reporter had to go shopping among 200 locations to find this.

They probably looked at what is happening in Italy and said: "Wow, that's a real indicator of the the virus bringing down systems - let's see if it's happening in NYC.

The article also says the DHS was briefed on it - do you think that's a lie, or do you think President Trump is letting his DHS be confused by ambitious reporters? Huh?

Italian army transfers caskets with victims of coronavirus to crematoria caption from the original source.

I'm not so sure this happens every flu season in Italy, bro. Are you?

Easy - they are having a spectacle of a cremation there. They are treating the corpses like nuclear waste so that is why these special and stupid precautions are being used.

I am by no means a flu bro.

But let me address the morgue issues.

Most people don’t die in the hospital. They die at home or hospice. The funeral home dispatches the hearse and you never end up in a morgue.

There are usually something like 1 morgue spot/tray/slot per 100-150 beds in a hospital. They use the morgue because it might take a couple of hours to get there to pick up.

The “county morgue” is for unclaimed bodies, accidents, murders, and those needing an autopsy. Our medium sized county has 8 slots. They are hardly ever filled. But the count only accepts deliveries, it does collect.

So, in any are where there is an increase in fatalities (earth quake, war, flood, etc) your morgues are going to fill up quickly.

Just last year, during the peak of flu month we ran out of room and we had an overflow room that we “cooled” until the funeral homes caught up.

My point is that hospitals are not designed to hold a lot of bodies. It doesn’t take much to get out of control. The most modest increase in the US would create scenes like this. Our death system is used to a nice steady flow. It doesn’t make financial sense to build out to a pandemic level.

I think global warming is different despite how much we really don’t know. Lots of computers have given rise to lots of modeling that cannot predict the weather. None have answered the questions about ... what caused the end of the ice age and why that is not relevant today ... if the earth is 5 billion years old, how can you be so sure things weren’t much hotter or colder then than the last 100 years of thermometer measurements which they say is predicting our doom ... if man was created by evolution, and we all go extinct because of climate change, won’t humans just start all over again ... and what exactly is the optimal earth temperature, and how do we know it isn’t warmer or cooler than where we are now? Did you know in 1965, after hurricane Betsy, LBJ wanted to spend federal $$$ on research on how we canc countrol our weather to bring about economic and societal progress?

This Wuhan is different for reasons that on its face, its symptoms and results seems not worse than the flu, yet we are shutting down the economies of the so-called free world to avoid it. What is it that the powers that be know (and we don’t) that is causing them to act so as to cause such an intense societal disruption and restrictions? Let’s check back later this year and see which side of the FReepers was right = hoax or extremely deadly. Or something else?

Commenting just to cement my position on the FluBros team. Even though I am not a bro.

[DeplorableGirl]

Good point.
Our Louisiana Gov. nearly has a nervous breakdown every damn day!

We will remember that you stood among the Flubros when this is all over and you will he regarded as being on the right side of history.

“Swedish authorities have banned public gatherings of more than 500 people, closed universities and higher education colleges, and advised workers to stay at home if possible. Authorities on Tuesday ordered restaurants and bars only to serve people at tables rather than at the bar...

... Johan Carlson, head of Sweden’s public health agency, last week defended Sweden’s approach, saying the country “cannot take draconian measures that have a limited impact on the epidemic but knock out the functions of society”.

Is he stupid or just swell meaning FluBro?
