And idiots who willfully spread this deadly disease to vulnerable people are murderers. Not akin to murderers — murderers.

I am on the list as one who thinks this is grossly overblown and over reacted
BUT
You are correct. If you know the consequences etc, feel sick and do not stay home you are an idiot and if you pass it along it should be the same as passing ANY STD along with harsh penalties.
That said, I do think they are cooking the books and just throwing beerflu around like they are getting bonus points OR maybe getting more money for more cases.
Why else would it be decreed that if a death COULD POSSIBLY be connected to beerflu, mark it up and don’t investigate further.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
Agreed — this thing is being grossly overblown & there’s a lot of over-reacting. The MSM, Dems, and leftists, in general, are milking it for all that’s it’s worth — and hoping that it will bring Trump down. I’m fully aware of all that, and I believe my posting record on that shows it.
All sorts of investigations need to be done afterward — and (ideally) some bad actors will be held to account. I agree with everything you said about that.
That said, for me, and millions of other people in my demographic, catching this could be a death sentence. The odds for me are about the same as flipping a coin and getting two heads in a row.
I happen to trust Trump, along with a very small number of local political leaders, on this. When it makes sense to return to normal, Trump will let us know.
The particular case mentioned in the article does seem over-the-top; but, that’s not what I was addressing. I see a lot of over-wrought, highly-emotional posters on a forum that usually features a lot more thinking. I also see some posts that validate some of the most disparaging things leftists have to say about Trump supporters. Frankly, I think a lot of folks here are going to be looking back and shaking their heads about their behaviour, emotionalism, and anti-social attitudes on display. It’s very saddening.
The worst is yet to come — the next two weeks promise to be dreadful. Two weeks — that’s all people have to wait, to see how this plays out. After that, I want the world’s economy to come back big time. Anyone, who cares to check my posting history, will see that I was amongst the first here to point out how important a functioning economy is — how the cure could really be worse than the disease.
Meanwhile — try not to kill your grandparents!
