........and the bubonic plague was a made up disease that never hurt anybody and caused hundreds of years of european descendants to hate rats.

When will we ever learn?

get back to work, you slackers!!!!

and you Republicans, go to the beaches in mass and to sporting events and get drunk and have a "good time." This zhit is harmless and President Stable Genius will appreciate it as a vote of confidence in his peerless leadership.

It’s the flu but 3x more contagious. No need to panic, but do need to take measures for mitigating spread.

If it was just killing those folks, I guess it would be ok----just thinning the herd and we have plenty of old buffaloes----but it is not just those, just predominantly them.

It is killing many people who are not that old, not that infirm and not ready to go.

It is doing a lot more than just thinning the herd. A friend who is a doctor in a hospital in NYC advises that it is not just these easily expendable people who are going down. But hey, football season is closing in on us, we look to be prepared to make a run at another national championship and what would a fall without some trips to Austin be?

We want what we want and we want it now. So if a couple of hundred thousand old geezers and young geezers and non geezers have to go, good riddance.

none of us "want that kind of life" and we aren't hiding under beds. But this scourge is highly contagious and is killing lots of people. It is disruptive of lives and some people are so used to getting most things their way and believe the lie we have heard all our lives that we can have anything we want so long as we want it bad enough that they are willing to suspend their judgment so they can live as they please.

I am ok with that so long as it does not make things worse for others. In this case, it does. How much worse is subject to disagreement and models are only as reliable as the data that is poured into them but there are stacks of corpses to show that this plague is different and dangerous.

We never cared so much about reducing flu and this is 3x flu. Is shutting down businesses 3x our typical flu response? I think not! (Funny)

I think what we are doing now in Texas is more inline with an appropriate response.

It has the same fatality rate as the flu for people under 40, just 3x more spread. You just don’t normally hear about the bad flu cases every winter.
 
We live in a world of limited resources and some times hard choices need to be made. Liberals have a hard time believing this.

You wrote your post as a response to me and JoeFan who showed an article discussing how government and health leaders based their policy on very inaccurate models and at the same time ignoring actual data.

So the issue isn't "we want what we want, wah". The people who cried and whined about shutting everyone in their homes, got what they wanted. Lockdowns. That it was based on lies and the opinions of celebrities in mansions still isn't acknowledged by most.

Of course it is serious. No one has said it isn't. But our leaders went from denying its existence, to denying its significance, to ordering healthy people in their homes.

No one who wants to stay at home or wear a mask is forced outside or to be exposed to people. Everyone who wants to live life and go to work, albeit with precautions has been forced not to. No one is keeping you from working from home, wearing long sleeve shirts, gloves, a mask, and changing clothes everytime you go out of the house, only going to the grocery store for food and nothing else.

No one who wants to live life differently is putting you at risk.

But those who want everything locked down have applauded while government has created another Great Depression out of thin air. They have applauded while the Fed has printed another couple of trillions of dollars which will stagnate not stimulate our economy for at least a decade.

Most people will take reasonable precautions. Will keep a distance from other people they don't know. Will wash and/or sanitize their hands after going to a store or restaurant. Businesses will create their own guidelines for minimizing people's exposure in their buildings. We don't need Neil Ferguson modeling 2 million dead people and telling farmers to kill all their livestock (which he did) in order to be safe. We need people like Neil Ferguson unemployed before they cause anymore economic catastrophe.

It’s all in who you believe or listen too. I think Fauchi is misrepresenting the truth because of an agenda. He has many followers. However, many Epidemiologists say the opposite of Dr Fauci. Watch Plandemic the trailer is out. I refuse to believe Fauci or Gates. I’ve told y’all my wife worked at an infectious disease lab at Baylor College of Medicine. They were trained boost the immune system, that’s how you stop a virus. Opposite of Fauci. We know a family whose lives were turned upside down by the health dept forcing them inside their house for 10 days.
Look up HR6666. It’s in Congress Dr Rashid Buttar has a petition against it. Very oppressive measures. Dr’s are very divided on how to proceed from here.

Wow, if that group included a family member, I wonder if you'd still be so callous.

Prepare for more "herd thinning". The hospitals in Mexico are filling up with Covid patients. Mexico was still allowing rock concerts with 70,000 fans when the rest of the world was hunkering down. Since we can't control our border, prepare for a new wave of infected people bringing it back into the Southern border states.
 
Who knows where we might be now with this virus had the Obama people not gone after Flynn so hard

It appears now the Dem rant will focus on testing for EVERYONE dead and alive
Even though Trump and task force had said all along they are working toward that goal
BUT Trump has said it may not be necessary for say people in Montana who live miles from anyone.
but because he said that Dem are seizing on that to try to make him look bad.
Lord the hate is sick

LOL So Admiral Giroir says we will be able to test 30-40 million a month by Sep
Will that be enough for the Dem haters?

Please open up your google machine and go back and find out where your president said "anyone that wants a test can get a test" and then count the days to September for us.
 
To save you the hate filled rhetoric of fact checking sites, I did it for you. March 6th. So, September will almost be six months. I had a 27 week premie a while back. That's close.
 
bubba?
You watch too much TV and think it is reality. Real life does not solve all problems in less than a hour.
So your whine is no matter how hard the USA, Gov't and Private, are working to gear up YOU think Trump should have been able to mfg 335 million tests during a commercial.

A. I do watch too much tv. 42 minutes is how long it takes them to wrap up things.
B. Compare the US to other countries. He twiddled his little thumbs from the time before the Senate was briefed (1/24) and they dumped their stock until any real action was taken. He called it a hoax over a month later at a rally (2/28). So, please, don't try to act like he was taking it serious.
