If, as the evidence suggests, the Chinese virus is enormously dangerous to people with certain medical conditions and those over 70 years old, but a much smaller danger to those under 70, then shutting down the entire country indefinitely is probably a bad idea.
But even when the time is right -- by Easter, June or the fall -- there will be no one to stop the quarantine because the media will continue to hype every coronavirus death, as if these are the only deaths that count and the only deaths that were preventable.
What mayor, governor or president will be willing to take the blame for causing a coronavirus death?
We’ll get no BREAKING NEWS alerts for the regular flu deaths (so far this season, more than 23,000, compared to 533 from the coronavirus).
Nor for the more than 3,000 people who die every day of heart disease or cancer. No alerts for the hundreds who die each day from car accidents, illegal aliens and suicide.
Only coronavirus deaths are considered newsworthy.
We’re told by the “Quarantine Everybody” crowd: Listen to the scientists! Unfortunately, most of the “scientists” they present to us are lawyers. (How did Robert Reich, Donna Shalala and Ron Klain become medical professionals?)
Also, the scientists disagree.
Just as, I assume, they did in 1976, when epidemiologists warned of another 1918 Spanish flu pandemic after a few young Army recruits died of swine flu at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Eight months later, the federal government launched a mandatory swine flu vaccination program.
About a quarter of the country was vaccinated before the program was abruptly shut down. No pandemic had materialized. The virus infected a few people, then vanished...

People WANT to panic. After martial law is completed across the nation and the people get restless, bored, or hungry, it’ll end, peacefully or otherwise.
Easy! Quit watching and reading the Fake News! This hysteria is media driven, and sadly we have fellow FReepers lapping it right up!
Remain calm!
Wash your hands!
If you’re reading this the world has NOT ended..............!
But there is too much panic. Those poor people dying in Italy have preexisting conditions and they’re old.
Talk to the idiots on FR.
Send us large sums on money.
[ HOW DO WE FLATTEN THE CURVE ON PANIC? ]
Exile Nancy Pelosi and the Liberal Media to Krakatoa, East of Java?
I’ve said it before...I really believe this has given some people meaning and purpose to there otherwise pathetic lives!
“sadly we have fellow FReepers lapping it right up!”
The same people who wouldn’t in a million years believe anything the media has said for decades. But in February 2020, miraculously, the media started to be noble and honest. When the MSM is shouting things, you MUST be suspicious.
FReegards!
Flatten the curve = Prolong the suffering in America.

There are trade offs in everything or a lot of things. We can’t let the economy collapse. The so-called Spanish flu (where did it really come from?) was a vicious kiler, yet it killed about 675,000 peoole in America.

Exactly!
Check out how many stories have been posted from CNN, AP, Reuters, and other liberal rags!
Mass hysteria is a scary thing to witness from people who should know better!
Also what about the suicides depression lost education alcoholism child abuse divorce spousal abuse men in despair the loss of lean muscle mass the increase in diabetes
What about the loss of all ceremony rites of passage extended family dinners social gatherings community events
What about the loss of the first amendment
The infringement of the second amendment
What about the loss of all that gives mass and majestic to the world ? To quote Auden
What about all that?
Great piece by Coulter
But really dramatically understated
Get rid of all press and news organizations, except OAN. 8>)
Where do you get your news on the coronavirus then? What is a reliable, unbiased, somewhat pro-Trump source for the latest news and updates on the coronavirus?
Should I trust the NY Times? CNN? NBC? Fox?
Stop watch the mediaVOMITS..simple as that!!!
TURN OFF THE TV FOR STARTERS.
On a personal basis, act smart, be alert, if you don’t feel ‘well’ stay home.
This crap and BS has been and is being overblown and someone has to take charge.
That idiot Cuomo on TV everyday is not helping, Only time PDJT can reasonably keep on track, the clown reporters try sniping him and get him and his ‘task force’ off message.
Notice now, Mayors and Governors want their face time.
PDJT needs to call off the ‘National Emergency’, instruct the states to use some common sense and CUT OFF THE FUNDING for this farcical situation.
