| RonC Member since: Nov 7, 2012 Threads: 8 Posts: 2510 | Do the things you are supposed to do to control any virus out there (was hands, don't touch face, etc.) many, maybe most, will not get the coronavirus and fewer will get the seasonal flu. The panic is uncalled for and I wonder what the motivation for it could be??? Concern is different from panic. Panic hurts the economy; concern hinders it a lot difference. Who benefits from the panic? A TV station in LA showed a medic going to a cruise ship before every break the other evening. Only when they stoked panic as much as possible did they get to the story...there was a fight on the cruise ship and someone needed treatment. As they used to say in professional wrestling before they decided to go all PG, "Red turns green".... |

This story really concerns me China took this seriously Our Govt is not https://www.yahoo.com/news/california-man-self-quarantined-returning-173042979.html A California man who self-quarantined after returning home from China amid the coronavirus outbreak said he is '100x more concerned' for his health in the US than he was in China Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Yeah, please trust China for they way they handled this: "In late December, a new coronavirus appeared in Wuhan, China and began to spread. A Chinese ophthalmologist named Li Wenliang went on social media and tried to sound the alarm. The local medical authority warned him that “any organizations or individuals are not allowed to release treatment information to the public without authorization.” In early January he was called to a police station, accused of “spreading rumors online” and “severely disrupting social order” and forced to sign a statement confessing his crime and promising to refrain from “unlawful acts.”" https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2020/2/11/21133045/coronavirus-china-doctor-whisteblower-coverup-lies-government-trump-steinberg Our response may not have been perfect; responses to these things rarely are. I think we have quickly moved on to the right track with bipartisan support for money and resources committed to fighting the outbreak. Panic is silly; concern is the proper response. |

It will be interesting to see whether Donny continues to hold his rallies in the upcoming months if the coronavirus continues to spread, as it appears it will. Obviously, it would be very irresponsible for him to continue having them. But would he be able to function without the 'deplorables' cheering him on every few days? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Would it also be irresponsible for Biden and Bernie to stop having events? Or just Trump? |

The left is taking this virus a lot more serious then the right Did you hear Trump on Hannity? "Well, I think the 3.4 percent is really a false number. Now, and this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this. Because a lot people will have this and it's very mild. They'll get better very rapidly. They don't even see a doctor. They don't even call a doctor, You never hear about those people. So you can't put them down in the category of the overall population in terms of this corona flu and — or virus. So you just can't do that,So if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work but they get better." The stupidity of Trump regarding this virus is astounding. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
