Flubros and Flubras! Day 89 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Things I am not panicking about: 1. The new strain of Wuhan flu hitting China 2. People who go to parties in defiance of limits to gathering size 3. Someone nearby me sneezing or coughing 4. The Wuhan flu “outbreaks” occurring all across America 5. 16 people testing positive after going to a Florida bar 6. Celebrities who contract Coronavirus 7. Just about any media headline about CV, like the 6 above, that is meant to make me panic

Why is it that in 1957-1958 the Asian Flu killed twice the percentage of Americans as Covid 19 has but they didn’t shut down the economy, close schools, or cancel sports? We’re they uncaring back then or are we just more pussified today?

Prisons and jails. Also, many churches are offering free testing.

Your obsession with gayness speaks volumes.

But that doesn’t incite the fear and panic if the headline does it?

From the article Gov Abbott suggested people stay home, not me. I could care less what you or anyone else does.

Brilliant! Thank you. Every time I read a breathless headline about increased cases I look in vain for the correlating data in increased testing. For some odd reason, it’s never part of the story? I wonder if they just stopped testing every “karen” who wants a test and the number of new cases plummeted, would the media celebrate the end of the pandemic?

You better do what daddy tells you.

I recommend the fetal position with thumb in mouth.

So you lost the 'second wave' argument and are moving on to something totally unrelated, eh?

Sorry, not biting, troll.

Get back under the bed. Grownups are talking.

“Covid hysteria will end Wednesday, Nov 4.”

Our frustrated domestic enemies will be hitting the streets that day looking for vengeance — again.

LOL

I’d love it if he said that at the rally this Saturday.

“It’s just the Flu, Bro - but THEY want you to be scared” -pointing to the media as he does at rallies.

I’m all for opening up the economy *and* banning sports,...

Given their stance on kneeling for the anthem, I think that a few sports are self-banning. NFL, NASCAR, Soccer (who watches that anyway?), e.g..

(Reasonable people take reasonable precautions and move on.)

Common sense restated!

Coupled with science and data will prevail and then we will all know ~It’s just the flu, bro.

The Fearpers Kryptonite, context:

“The increased occupancy of hospital beds, it does raise concerns, but as shown today, there is no reason right now to be alarmed,” Abbott added. “Even though there are more people hospitalized, we still remain at the lowest threat level [for occupancy].”

Abbot attributed the spike in cases to batched data coming in from “congregate settings” such as prisons and nursing homes.

He said that testing in nursing homes is nearing 100 percent and that more than half of the state’s jail and prison settings had been tested. In many cases, Abbott said, the jail and prison population has a higher infection rate than the rest of the population.

Second wave? Where’s the evidence of a first wave in Beijing?
