Perspective is lost on the fearbros.
3 MONTHS and 24,00 DEAD from the FLU!! omg.
>>Stay away from the flu - that stuff can kill ya.<<
You would think this “shelter at home” stuff would also keep the flu away. Hmmm
The power of the press supporting the One World Government crowd.
It’s just the flu.
All the sick folks are in the Hospitals. Whatever you do, do not go there....
Imagine the number of people that are going to the hospitals of the world with a broken leg, then are exposed to nothing but germs. Think I’d tough it out, call up an underworld black market doc for at home care...
Dying from the Flu right now would be such a waste of fame...nobody would care...
The new thnig is tele-docing. My wife had an appt. the other day and it was 100% video. After asking about symptoms and the like, the doctor adjusted her Rx.
I have an appt. coming up. I will have to see if the doc wants to do it by video. If this is the new way that actually works really well for me as I was and will be here only every other Friday (I travel for work).
If this virus hoax kills traffic, promotes telecommuting and stay at home work, stay at home school, there is a silver lining to this Y2K, I mean virus.
>>there is a silver lining to this Y2K, I mean virus.<<
LOL, I see the similarity :)
So funny, a movie about “AlienNation” (great series!) was filmed in 1996 and showed Y2K as everyone going crazy and cops getting verwhelmed.
We all recall what a nothing burger it was. Particularly in L.A.
We need to start comparing this season’s flu deaths with last seasons deaths.
After all, precautions against COVID-19 must also be reducing flu deaths too imo.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Last years flu stats:

We have hospitalizations and deaths from flu like this every year, so why is the health care system “overwhelmed”?
Panic, shut everything down. NOW or they’ll arrest you and put you in jail and then release you because of a pandemic.
This shit is beyond stupid. Fear Republic is full of little sissies.
The absolute truth said in 6 words. Not just lost but deliberately erased by the Dems and Communist News Networks propaganda of fear/panic.
So what you’re really saying is that President Trump is an idiot for declaring a national emergency over Covid-19?
Is there a breakdown of deaths and cases by state?
