It’s just the flu, bro.
A few things:
1. Some study in the Bay Area showed antibodies are widespread and there could be 85 people who have it for every one person who was tested - good news as it shows that its lethality is about the same as the flu.
2. Texas didn’t go far enough with their announcement on reopening.
3. Healthcare workers are getting laid off or are on reduced hours - checked two clinics yesterday and one was closed and one was half hours due to reduced number of patients during Corona. They flattened the curve so much that healthcare workers are getting laid off.

Ping - freepmail to go on ping list.
bump.
As evidence is being developed that C-19 is a communist Chinese bioweapon, created in a Wuhan lab at US taxpayer expense, you continue to compare it to a seasonal flu. Well done! Communist China thanks you for helping them deflect blame!
Was a bad day for fearpers yesterday. But they still make sure tk be clutching pearls.
Not mutually exclusive positions, sir

For your consideration.
The numbers are cooked. At least one Health Department admitted that it is counting “positive” cases two or even three times. That is, a person tests positive on a rapid test, it goes on the board. The same person is then tested with another test to confirm the rapid test, that result goes on the board as an additional case. Then the same person is followed up on two weeks later to see how he’s going, and tests positive again, it goes on the board a third time. Then all the rapid tests, which are not conclusive unless followed up on, they go on the board regardless. Worse, not all deaths attributed to the virus are tested, as Birx admitted publicly, and they are doing the same here.
What othe state or territory is doing the same? I am sure ALL OF THEM ARE!

I am a FluBro. Please add me to the ping list.
But what do I know?
Nobody is deflecting blame. If this was a bioengineered weapon (we may never know) they failed big time with the virus. They win anyway getting us to deliver the knockout punch to ourselves by trashing our economy and giving uo our civil liberties over something no worse than the seasonal flu. Fear is always worse than the original problem.
Add me to your list.
On your point #1...not there yet...the Bay Area (Stanford) study showed a 2.49% to 4.16% prevalence (in a fairly dense urban environment), so extrapolated to the whole USA that would mean about 13,640,000 infected in the US (currently infected, recovered with few symptoms or deceased)(probably lower due to 80% of the US being more rural. But I will use the higher # due to this being a “FluBro” thread. With 37,175 fatalities in the US that yields a 0.27% fatality rate. The worst “reg. flu” year in the last 10 years yielded a 0.14% fatality rate. So COVID-19 running about 2x worse than “reg. flu” so far.

They are succeeding by taking away from Trump the one thing he is most proud of, the best economy in the history of the world, which also would guarantee him his second term!
Accordingly then, Trump is doing it to himself. Right?
There has not been one second of relent on the attacks against Trump since before day 1! It is unprecedented. The Dems manage to be in complete lockstep they do that very well. They are united in bringing him down come hell or high water.
Just like the flu. Are the feds going to push this “yet to be proven” research as only anecdotal? Why do the research, then push “yet to be proven”? Had the research proved the opposite, this would be gold standard clinical research used to keep us home.
A friend of ours got that a week after his flu shot and went full zombie.
The hospital came up with all kinds of wild and crazy “diagnoses” and pretty much just tube fed him not knowing what else to do.
A week after it happened, I told my WV biker GP about it and he said “Guillan-Barre’”. He’ll just come out of it in 6-8 weeks.”
Seven weeks later, he woke up.
One can get Gillian Barre after any viral illness
