I can. Maybe you should move.

Maybe you should vote for leaders who are not idiots.

Thats not “our” fault. You get angry at the people who posted early articles and said this was going to be bad. Get ready, we said. Be prepared, we said. They are shutting down China....”

And you gave us a hard time. You bullied us. You called us names. YOU called me names.

You chose to ignore it. You chose your leaders. Suck it up and live with it. Or revolt.

You have not chosen wisely since this whole thing started. Now you whine like little babies.

Grow up.

Biiiiggggg man beating up on MOM MD. Lt implies lieutenant, whatever that means, it designates you as someone who should understand civics. I guess because you are comfortable, you will not defend the rights of others that are endowed by our creator. Its OK Vermont, because you did not speak up, they will ultimately come for you, and no one will be able to speak for you,

You are the worst of the worst. Traitor to the ideals of freedom that is should apply to all. But hey, you are ok with violations...because they do not affect you,

You are a petty tyrant. And calling you names? No, it was speaking the truth.

I think one reason for the early skepticism of the CV's threat is that we were told (1) that the CV was introduced into the US in early January AND (2) that the incubation period was 5-14 days AND (3) that it was unlikely to be worse than the common flu AND (4) that the general public did not need to wear masks. Health authorities were saying these things.

And if you looked at the CDC graphs for January to mid-March for CD deaths and new cases, the line (which was not even a tangible curve) was almost flat along the base line until March 12th, when there was a visible rise. Before then, and even for a couple of weeks longer, the authorities seemed to be correct in their optimism.

On another post, I showed how few deaths there were even as late as the end of March. The early data in the US did not suggest what was to follow if the information we had been given was correct.

I’d like to know where you live where restaurants and churches are open. i have replied to people with a great deal more restraint than has been shown me and I stand by what I have said from the start. There is a virus. It is real. Some will unfortunately die. None of it merits the mass hysteria and loss of civil liberty we have seen. I also said it seems no worse tha. H1N1 and I stand by that as well. As for bullies look at your fellow fearpers. Threatening people seems to be their MO. If I have called you a name that was other than descriptive of your position such as fearper I apologize It is not my intent to be as uncivil as others have been to me.
