we know nothing about them. Maybe the younger ones aren’t well to being with. Dallas county is big. When people get sick they also can’t get their heroine and may get even worse. Just saying who knows.

you can only horde as much as your credit will bear
eventually credit cards will be tapped out

and with unemployment websites crashing not good

Unemployment claims overwhelm DOL website; agency adds hours, new procedures

Nobody is saying the young can’t get it, but most likely they won’t die. The people in the article have been hospitalized but they are not dead yet.

Three are listed as critical, out of eight.

NYT has out some secret government doc this could go in waves as the Spanish Flu did and last 18 month.

When it started market was headed to 30,000.

We were winning what trade war against China and Trump was on his way to an easy re-election.

Now we’ve got “universal basic income” on the way. Once people realize they can just get “free money” how will they not vote for more of it?

November is in jeopardy. This hits older voters who vote 55% for GOP.

China appears to be past the worst of it there and can control their media and just burn bodies off the book.

Older (white) Europeans are being killed off.

This just a random, natural event?

?

We have ZERO information about the background of these patients other than their ages. Some or all of these individuals may have underlying, serious respiratory issues. There is no evidence that this virus is a threat to those who do not suffer from underlying conditions. Not in China. Not in Italy.

RE:”That they follow HIPAA laws? The nerve!”

Yep those laws demand that they publish ONLY carefully selected (if even true) information to set off a public panic.

If they included information that told us what was going on it would be against the public interests.

You are one sharp tack for pointing this out

Population of Dallas County is about 3 million.

Population of the DFW Metro area is 6.8 million.

The infection numbers will go up pretty fast in the next 2-3 weeks but I am amazed at how low the numbers actually are.

We have large immigrant populations here.
