The bizarre handling of Coronavirus and the obvious destruction of the United States of America......
I find myself seventy three years old here in Pittsburgh and deeply worried about the present and future of our country.
As the days go by the problems ahead for the nation seem bleaker.
My wife and I are Trump people yet this entire ugly event seems bigger and more evil than even he and his administration can solve.
The quote below sums up the feeling I have about how the American people are being treated. I really cannot see a way out of this. The evil plan to destroy our country seems too big and well planned. I hope I am wrong.
Any thoughts?

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.”
”This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
-- C.S. Lewis

As an aside, one question we might want to ask is, “Are people dying WITH coronavirus, or are people dying FROM coronavirus?
“but the potential is for 100K, or more...not as much as the flu”
100K is the low end projection by the CCP-19 Task Force. Honestly I hope for a lower number. But for the record, that’s well over the worst flu death toll in a long, long time.
Six days running this virus has killed well over the average daily flu in-season number, generally 2 or 3 times. It’s like we’re getting 3 flu seasons stacked up on each other with only 1/20th as many people infected.
People need to stay home and stay safe.
“Half of us have probably already had it”
Not supported by any science, whatsoever. Panda Propaganda.
You’re quite welcome.
Well Grumpy, There have been more than one working with/for Trump and turned out to be non trustworthy individuals.
I don’t know... I just don’t trust any of them... there have been too many who were part of the swamp.. and this that is happening is weird... This has not happened before and we have had wars, and other pandemics.... everyone just closed up/cancelled/holed up and the cities are bare. we can’t lose this country to the commies who want to change this US to suit their warped minds.
So? Did he have an anurism...or...? You are panicked.
“This is not a bad problem. It’s a serious cold, and that’s it.”
Your “serious cold” is causing people in Italy to die at 16x the normal rate. Your “serious cold” finds what ever is wrong with you and kicks it into overdrive. Your “serious cold” is killing 3x as many as the flu does every day.
Right now, you’re blaming the gun - heart attack, renal failure, diabetes, intestinal issue, what ever - but it was CCP-19 that pulled the trigger.
Am I going to die tonight ?
“Seriously? The US is going to lose that many people to Coronavirus, when the Global death rate is only 42K?”
That was the question I had as Birx blathered her way through the charts and numbers.
Oh, please.
The Chinese unleashed this but they’re suffering from it too. If our economy collapses, theirs goes into a tail spin. It was almost there before this.
Their leaders don't care. How many died during "The Great Leap Forward"? They think they have a surplus population, anyway.
......”I find myself seventy three years old here in Pittsburgh and deeply worried about the present and future of our country. As the days go by the problems ahead for the nation seem bleaker”.....
Where’s your faith child.....God knows everything about this nation, past, present and what He intends for it in the future. However things are and become will all work toward His purposes for this nation and it’s people....come what may He will accomplish His will.
“( Isn’t that what men usually say to hysterical women? :-) Yeah but in the movies they slap them across the face while they’re saying it.
Italy has 1/3 the respirators per capita we do.
Italy said over 50% of everyone who died from COVID were elderly AND had three serious, pre-existing, life threatening illnesses.
The flu kills 300,000 - 600,000 a normal season. COVID will go no where near that.
The US won’t have even 15,000 die of it.
Not only that, but COVID is causing a NEGATIVE DEATH RATE.
The Chinese don’t give a damn about ANY economy if it gets rid of Trump, they want to get back to the absolute hosing of America and Trump is the only damn thing in their way!!!
I don’t imagine, but one never really knows.
Sad. Yes...we are all going to die . ..eventually .
Trumps two top medical advisors on this are deep state liberals from way back.
Seems to me, those with the guns should get them out. Clean out the Rats.
