They have the obdurate ability to say that China is overreacting, South Korea is overreacting, Japan is overreacting, Singapore is overreacting, [country xxxx] is overreacting, and any anyone who isn't totally focused on how much worse this season's regular flu is, or how many more die in traffic accidents, of of abortions, or drowning, or malaria, or ______, is a total idiot, and we should do absolutely nothing about the Wuhan virus except let it scythe through our country unimpeded.
It would be good for the economy to get rid of the elderly useless eaters, after all.
They also believe that all these above named countries, and so many more, are in a vast planetary conspiracy and are destroying their own economies, just to get rid of the bad orange man!
I like your definition - I am a proud flubro.
I know a stunted economy will kill more people than this virus. I just won’t be able to name the victims - those who, for example, die because medical advances aren’t made due to the economy getting weaker.
So are you a proud flubro or not?
The reaction on this board has soured me.
This isn’t a game. This isn’t politics. This isn’t about crashing the stock market (which for all intents and purposes, is crashed).
We are trying to see if there is a possibility what we call civilization and survive a plague. Right now I am betting the under. Decades of just in time and grasshopper has a population that goes to the beach when begged to stay home.That loots grocery stores when given special shopping hours (the “elderly and at risk” shopping hours at local stores resulted in those same elderly selling TP and hamburger out of the back of the car).
Hell, I am half convinced by this time next week we will not have functional plumbing in major cities.
But it is all a plot to get rid of orangeman, who just had his highest approval rating in a while.
