Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...

theres no satisfying you all. this virus is not that serious. the thing that made this situation serious is the media and the panic. the media has been pushing for stronger action and a lockdown. The presidents hand was forced. lets be honest, what if he kept saying chill, this virus isn't killing a bunch of people, just the elderly and poor health? well, he basically did that and the media attacked him saying he doesn't believe the virus was real when he said fake news. the media and the manipulated public got what they asked for, a stronger response. be honest, no matter what he does, you will complain.

let me ask this, do you all think this will kill more people than the seasonal flu? do you think this will kill more than the swine flu? this virus is airborne and a lot of people with get it, but it will not kill a lot of people. that is my prediction. the left asked for a stronger response. you all got it. why are you mad now? this is supposed to be worse than 2009 according to the media. lets see. lets see if the pandemic caused by the media was worth it. lets see if the panic that forced the administration to emplace stronger measure was worth it. people are hoarding toilet paper! were heading into riot control and fighting for supplies from each other. this lockdown is more than protection from the virus now. And finally, once we are all on lockdown, and the only stores open are Walmart and grocery stores, enjoy standing in long lines in packed stores that are open between a limited number of hours. so much for 6 feet apart.
Your anti-intellectual stance, unfortunately, is not unique.

Polls? Like the national polls that said Hillary had a small
advantage nationally, amounting to almost 3 million votes? . . . .
A " Small "...? The MSM hype was insane...and WRONG !

but we don't vote nationally. So in three key states trump won those three by
around 77,000 votes total while losing the " popular" or national vote by
almost 3 million votes . . .
What a LIAR.....Xaviar The Crook would NOT let the Federal Government audit the votes
Citizens with commonsense, unlike YOU know those votes and much more
were fraudulent....her socalled firewall was California, and the " Firewall " was

motor-voter Fraud....plain and simple.

or things would different and we would arguably be much, much better off
with a steady, seasoned, reasonable hand on the tiller.
" A steady seasoned hand " ....good god are you inebriated on Democratic
Koolaid.....

Your Stupidity is on FULL display today.....have at it.
 
. . . or the immunity that has been built that hasn't yet been for this novel strain of coronavirus.

The Chinese originated Bioweapon that is being used with MUCH hype from
MSM and Democrats...


Wait till this is over.....the " Source " of this new Coup will pay......
 
This moron is president because he trolled Obama for 8 years, from birth certificate to Ebola. Moron trump is responsible for the decisions he makes. A little criticism and all you snowflakes cry like a baby girlyman. The shoe is on the other foot, whiners.

Let go of Obama's pant's leg and stand up like a man.
 
We're #1! Another instance where trump has made America first.

While t was dragging his feet, local and state governments have stepped in (gotta love that Federalism!). As a result of widespread cancellations and prohibitions of large gatherings of people, the WHO report on covid 19 shows no new confirmed cases in the USA in the last 2 days.


Another interesting case is that of the Phillipines - my wife returned from there on Mar 8. Many events were cancelled and public health nurses weere stationed at the entrances to shopping malls to check for people with fevers with an IR scanner. No new cases there either.

My pal with family there said the whole country is now on lockdown.
 
I'm hoping the idiot GOPers like Nunes, the OK governor and Trump, and the idiots that follow along like MSK, are overwhelmed by common sense voters in the next election.
Which dummy said we won't have even 12,000 deaths in the next year. You people aren't very bright...
 
From a recently published article (March 10)

There were 181 confirmed cases with identifiable exposure and symptom onset windows to estimate the incubation period of COVID-19. The median incubation period was estimated to be 5.1 days (95% CI, 4.5 to 5.8 days), and 97.5% of those who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days (CI, 8.2 to 15.6 days) of infection. These estimates imply that, under conservative assumptions, 101 out of every 10 000 cases (99th percentile, 482) will develop symptoms after 14 days of active monitoring or quarantine.

This work provides additional evidence for a median incubation period for COVID-19 of approximately 5 days, similar to SARS. Our results support current proposals for the length of quarantine or active monitoring of persons potentially exposed to SARS-CoV-2, although longer monitoring periods might be justified in extreme cases.


A quarantine period (stay home) of about 10 days was instituted for people known or suspected to have been exposed to a person sick with SARS-CoV-2. People with strong symptoms were isolated in a hospital until direct biological tests showed they were no longer infectious. That process stomped the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the USA down to about medical journal footnote level.

So what's your point Lying Spola Ebola......

There was NO ACTION taken like we are seeing with the COVID-19..

This has NOTHING to do with a Virus, and everything to do with collapsing
one of the most robust economies in modern times...

China was positioning themselves to be the World Currency and DJT cut that.
China was the supply line to the USA and DJT cut that.
China has a large amount of the USA debt and DJT was reversing that QUICKLY !
China was going belly up because of the Tariffs and DJT implemented that.
China has
a MAJORITY of California's Pension Investments.....Think About That !!!!!!

China in conjunction with the " Globalists " hatched this virus to crash our Economy and
once again position themselves to be the World Currency....


What happened to the protests in Hong Kong ....?
Hong Kong the east's currency clearing house....!
 
When the links up for the class action law suite against CNN for spreading panic across the natio

There should be class action lawsuit brought to every liberal news media outlet who brought panic to the sheep causing a financial crisis.

Still looking for cases where healthy patients with no underlying conditions died from the virus. It's sad when ESPN only reports that the 3 NBA players with Corona are perfectly fine yet the national rags won't.

Medias spinning the Virus as a death sentence to all!
Is Tucker with CNN? Or did he just realize that the stupid people (you know, like you) would think this wasn't serious.

The first COVID-19 case in the United States was reported in January. Trump said it was "totally under control" and "going to be just fine," but Tucker Carlson said he saw how spooked the Chinese government was by the outbreak in its country, and he figured "we should pay attention to it." After researching and reporting on the virus, Carlson felt he had "a moral obligation to be useful in whatever small way I could," and determined that meant setting up a meeting to stress to Trump that the imminent coronavirus pandemic could be disastrous

Many on the left would say Tucker is an idiot. Is he a quality journalist now?
 
This is a summary of this thread:

Sheep - Coronavirus is Dangerous! it's killing a lot of people!
Me - Its killed 107 senior citizens in 2 months, mostly over 70 with existing health problems.
Sheep - well, this virus is going to spread exponentially and kill a lot more people!!
Me - the virus is stabilizing in other countries, even china of all places.
Sheep - Well, that's because they're on lockdown!
Me - South Korea and Germany have some of the lowest mortality rates and is stabilizing, Germany just went on lockdown over the weekend as a precaution, Korea was never on lockdown.
Sheep - Well Trump isn't doing enough! He didn't make enough tests kits!
Me - The president doesn't make Test kits, The CDC made some which were faulty, they had to go back and fix it. Dr. Fauci says this isn't Trumps fault, this would have happened no matter who was president. Tests kits don't cure this virus anyway. Test kit or not, we can only treat the symptoms.
Sheep - Well, you're an idiot!
Me - …...

South Korea and Germany had massive testing done from the jump...which made a huge difference in knowing who to isolate, etc.
Trump REJECTED the WHO's offer of test kits. Instead, he told us we don't have a problem here.
Now, our whole life is screwed because, as you point out and I see the same stats, we don't want to sacrifice our elderly.
Whether the "sheep" are right about exponential growth and death coming, or the idiots are right that it's media-driven hysteria, has yet to be seen.
My wife pretty much agrees with you. She's an idiot.

1. Your wife is a smart woman
2. WHO never offered the U.S. test kits to reject.

Even left leaning Politifact says that claim is false.

It's a good indication of your political stance that you consider politifact to be "left-leaning".
