“Just a flu, bro.” is their shorthand for "I hope it kills a lot of people so I can go on FR and crow".
in a nutshell. it’s deeply mystifying to me why people that I have personally seen behaving in a perfectly reasonable, rational way for years are insisting on wetting their dress over this virus.

way too many unknowns in this coronavirus universe to conclude whether it’s nothing, and certainly not enough information to think we’re all going to die tomorrow.

The death toll is nowhere near their wet-dream predictions.

They’re too stupid to see they are being led about by the same news narrative-setters that have lied to them for years.

Notice how few “positive” stories there are of this? It’s all exaggerated doom and gloom.

There’s an enormous amount of difference between the two - and while there is a lot of uncertainty, there are bounds, and both of those options are untenable.

People who are paranoid are causing damage in a variety of ways - but so are the people who are completely or nearly completely dismissive.

I hope it’s below 1 percent, myself. Some figures indicate much higher. Feel free to take a trip to New York; some of their hospitals are really getting slammed. And no, I’m not rooting for it; if I break my leg when this thing reaches its height in Maryland, I’m SOL.

Oh I got a dandy of a reply that really confirmed the level of kook I figured some of these people are.

Makes we think that the American right needs to seriously start distancing ourselves from our own homegrown loony toons much more than we do.
