Yes, sir.

Some things never change.

As far as the media is concerned? Like Rush says when things don’t make sense: “Follow the Money”.

All the Media hates Trump, because he got elected on the cheap and destroy their opposition.

A personal anecdote that may mean nothing:

Back in January, we picked up a nasty little bug from a family member of my wife’s, who had been traveling. I’m no saying it was this, just a thought.

We of course, got it.

It hit my wife and son quite hard. 2+ weeks for full recovery.

It barely touched my daughter and I. Less than a week of minor symptoms.

My daughter and I are type O.
My wife and son are type A.

Great point!

We farm and I love to garden and cook.

I still shoot well, can reload and am remarrying next month to a much younger woman. She shoots well too. smile.

(my wife of 47 years died of a heart attack in 2018. I was holding her when she died.)

It’s super deadly when you deny patients of the very successful known treatment as they are doing in the United States.

Well, it MAY mean something. It certainly fits.

said, "people are returning to sanity"

It means there is a glut of toilet paper in people's homes.
The markets will likely end up having far to much toilet paper for the next year.

Hysteria hasn't gone away. I was banned from texting anything at all on themtube for what think was a reasonable argument

My comment was tongue in cheek although there really was toilet paper and for the reason you said. The fools have no more room to store it. You’re right about the coming glut as well so expect to see some huge sales on TP in the near future.

Costco put out a statement a few day ago that they would not make refunds on returned toilet paper.

Talk to a real doctor whose in a real hospital yesterday as I was fixing his solar system , and he said the SARS one had a death rate of about 10% and this is way more like 1% AT the tops - but it should be taken seriously

He said all elective surgeries at his hospital we’re being postponed

Why is it still not clear? Based on projections a month ago our hospitals would be overwhelmed by now .

OH, you foolish man.

Just wait two weeks, then you'll see how bad it is.

AND the oceans will flood all of Florida too.

understand Germany has conducted a massive amount of tests, with their death rate at 1/2 of 1%?

Germany's death rate is rising. It is 0.7% now: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Yes, and the female governor of Illinois is warning pharmacists and doctors to not prescribe it to anyone with corona virus.

Criminal act that is inexcusable and should be prosecuted as murder.

Pure political noise.

It is all in how you define the case number. If 1/2 of the cases go undetected because if they are asymptomatic and the deaths are assigned as due to corona when they had many existing prior serious medical problems the numbers make more sense.

OK. China indicated that, but the real population of cases is understated and the cause of deal is often hard to verify with existence of multiple illnesses.

Initially, from Chinese stats for Wuhan it looked like 30% fatality (dead/dead+cured numbers) Outside Wuhan it was closer to 15%.

Then the numbers started to tone out. And just kept shrinking.
