Said the guy who is getting paid to spread as much disinformation and spread as much panic as he can. How ever much they are paying you, its not worth it. And its not going to work,
President Trump will still get reelected come November. And you can take that to the bank.

You’re the only one here that is panicking.

It seems this virus news really gets you spun up, like it’s somebody talking bad about your mother.

Nope. I am not prone to panicking. You got the wrong guy
I have never been bothered about the flu, which kills over a 100 a day on average, let alone about corona. It doesn't bother me in the least. I am fairly sure, I will be here to celebrate President Trump's great victory in November. :)

Why no one is talking about the 48,000 who will die from ordinary flu this season?

Yeah, I get so tired of those baseless accusations that people who post opinions that others don’t like are paid enemy operatives!

I get both sides. I get the people saying it’s no big deal, and I get the people saying it’s the next Black Plague that’s gonna wipe out a third of mankind!

I have no idea what the truth is, I see both sides, but I do wish that people would stop casting aspersions at fellow Freepers who simply see things differently.

Yeah, the hyperbole gets really absurd.

He’s not a paid troll, he’s just concerned. As am I, a little.

My sister’s a teacher and you wouldn’t believe the illnesses and sicknesses prevalent in high school, everything sweeps through her school.

I am a bit concerned at what would happen if they suddenly had spreading cases of corona virus through the kids and staff.

And no, I’m not a paid troll, either!

I keep hearing about paid trolls...

I have been accused, but I am not in on the deal...How much can one make as a paid troll?

Are trolls being paid per day, per post or per word?

Is there a paid troll ping list or something? Who is in charge?

The truth is probably smack in the middle. The panic pushed by the Left is not necessary, but nothing wrong with good precautions. Here we are going into storm season anyway, preparedness just makes sense.

My husband DID pick up disinfectant in various forms from the $$ store today and some OTC meds. We were getting sloppy in wiping stuff down.

The current season does not appear to be as severe as 2017-2018, when the flu reached epidemic proportions and as many as 95,000 people died, according to CDC estimates.1 Feb 2020

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+many+flu+deats+in+the+US+every+year&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB890GB890&oq=how+many+flu+deats+in+the+US+every+year&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.20191j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

What is 95,000 divided by 365?
If anything, I understated it I was being conservative.

We are getting a bit of disinformation on this.... Trump said it was a woman, then Washington State said it was a man. Now they’re referring to it as “they.”

Earlier they said they had 3 cases, a woman in her 50’s with health issues, a young man and one other....
