Coronavirus

Longest Horn, once again makes no point whatsoever other than to show his complete bias against Trump. Complete lack of objectivity.

Stupid comments by Trump and his criticism of Obama are irrelevant.

Wait a couple of months and see what happens. Criticize mistakes he actually makes. At this point criticism is based on the fact you don't like him. We get it you're a Leftist, Samantha Bee drone.
 
LOL! Ebola and Coronavirus are the same thing in LH's mind. Anyway, Trump could spend every day at a golf course and still outdo Obama.

The death rate of those below 50 is quite low <0.4% and declines with age. The only people that should be worried are those greater than 60. I plan on travelling for business over the next couple months and will limit interaction with my elderly folks for 2 weeks after I get back.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but this is a brand new disease. It could mutate and be less virulent or it could go the other way. The first version of the 1918 Spanish flu wasn’t too lethal. It died down but came back strong and the second iteration was an ***-kicker. It killed millions of young healthy adults, while older folks who’d survived the 1890 pandemic fared well. My Dad’s family caught it in 1919, but by then it had mutated again and was less
lethal. They all survived, but were very sick. There’s no telling what could happen with this thing.

I agree things can take a turn for the worse. But based on what we know right now, it's just not that deadly of a virus unless you are over 60. This level of hysteria is simply not warranted just because the virus may mutate into a more deadly strand. I do think it makes sense to put a high urgency on developing a vaccine and treatment in case of a worst case scenario.

According to a news report on Click 2 Houston, CEO of Memorial Herman has confirmed that 3 of the 11 are showing symptoms. Plus, the original patients initially went to the hospital with mild symptoms (including GI issues) and were sent home. They were called back to the hospital after 3 days later after the information about the Egypt cruise came out.

Not a blowout but fairly decisive. Instead, the most he can hope for is a narrow electoral win and popular vote loss.

I don't believe this at all. I think 2020 is gonna make 1984 appear to be a nail biter ... or ... 2000's hanging chad recount.

When COVD-19 runs its course ... this little burp will be forgotten. The Dems have dispatched everyone who was remotely attractive to anyone outside the "establishment democrat" or moon-bat leftist. Trump is Trump and he hasn't changed.

The symptoms are different but the threat to your body overall is similar. If it's going to take you down, it attacks your lungs. Still, more people have dropped out of the Democratic primaries than have died from CV in the US thus far.

the part which I think is to be considered is the lengthy period of latency/whatever the medics call it ... AND ... contagious with the airborne contagion. IE ... how fast of a potential to spread.

Up to 2 weeks no symptoms ... but can "share" it unknowingly. That's a big potential ... and it apparently happened in China.

No, clearly we're not all gonna die of COVD-19 ... but just avoiding the status of mort is insufficient to me. I want to avoid being sick. I'd like to avoid, too, a large number of illnesses overall and specifically in the producer section of our economy.

I had a great uncle who died from the 1919 flu. I look for this to flare back up in the fall.
 
At this point, the CDC says that asymptomatic people are contagious. So all the horror stories are over blown. The disease can be tracked much easier. The problem is really a public thing but who you are coming into direct contact with. Still not good, but a little rationality to think through.

This is an unfortunate point for Longest Horn's narrative and derision of Trump. But don't worry. He will ignore it!

I’d think asymptomatic people being contagious is no bueno, correct? They don’t know that they have it and are spreading it.
 
On a positive note, I heard that a 100 year old Chinese man survived the virus and is fine.

So Trump is going to carry California by at least 16 points and New York by at least 8 points and sweep the entire Northeast (including Massachusetts)? That would all have to happen for you to be right.

Sure you want to go on the record with that?

It's only racist if white, cisgendered, heterosexuals call it that, because they're the only people below Asians on the intersectional hierarchy.
