Crises actors every one of 'em.
Why isn’t habitual drive by thread starting bannable?
You guys with all you facts and reality. You need to explain this in simple terms the OP can understand.
Here’s the real deal that they don’t want you to know. This is all a secret plot by the Chinese communist government. They developed a bioweapon and tested it on their own people in order to build up their immunity. Then they gave it to Deep State moles in the government who are working for Barack Obama so they could bring it to the USA and kill off Real Americans like you and me. Their plan is to release their germs in places where Real Americans hang out like bars and churches and stadiums and WalMarts. Then we’ll all be sick and they can steal the election and impose socialism and sharia law on us. Of course, Big Media isn’t telling you any of this. So what you need to do is hunker down in your house and live off the grid for a while. Give Team Trump a chance to take care of business and Make America Great Again.
This is the part that needs repeating. Just tonight, I saw these two charts:
Canada’s cases as compared to Italy’s cases. Both are the same exponential curve, as far as I can tell, with a doubling time of just under 4 days, so less than a week as referred to above.
Unchecked, this could get very bad, very quickly.
No worries. According to the OP it’s just a bunch of old people and they were gonna die soon anyway.
That kind of willful ignorance is disgusting.
Right, and I’m one of them.
I can’t express my opinion of the OP, since this isn’t the pit.
Posts like this are actually a bit concerning. IF you read the Fox News site and look at the comments (something I do for some reason I don’t really understand), you’ll see tons of these. Whether it’s mass trolling, right wing irony, or genuine ignorance I can’t be sure. But since some will read it and believe it’s all a conspiracy to get Trump, it is a worry.
It all boils down to “I don’t like this version of reality, therefore I will assert my own”, a mindset endemic to Trump supporters. Unfortunately the virus has a way of asserting its own reality.
Considering our fine state of AZ has literally something like 200 test kits, no on knows how many cases there are.
This state is full of old trump lovers, LDS trump lovers, snowbird trump lovers, and idiot congressman Andy Biggs and idiot senator McSally. Lest anyone be confused by the OP.
The dead can’t vote.
Are the stats above accurate?
- average age of 75
- 3/4 in WA
- 3/4 of those in one location
My analogy is it’s like someone saying, “Nope. There aren’t any speeders on this highway,” a highway with no cops patrolling it.
And in defense of Arizona, we were smart enough to not elect McSally – she was appointed to fill out the rest of McCain’s term.
Biggs I’ll give you. Although unplanned, I’m fortunate enough to not have him as my representative by about a quarter mile.
Indeed. An idiot through and through.
It can certainly be explained to him. What it can’t be is understood for him.
The OP probably won’t be back, but in case he is -
There are immunizations against flu. Hundreds of millions of people routinely get immunized annually. There is currently no effective human vaccine against coronavirus,and probably won’t be for another year to a year and a half. So, there is no defense against it other than frequent handwashing, covering sneezes and coughs, and social distancing, i. e. keeping a distance of two meters from the nearest person.
I bet you don’t have it, and I bet nobody you know knows anybody that has it. Everybody needs to just chill the fuck out. Amarite?

QuickSilver, heh.
A NYT headline:
*Italy’s Coronavirus Victims Face Death Alone, With Funerals Postponed
As morgues are inundated, coffins pile up and mourners grieve in isolation: ‘‘This is the bitterest part.’’ *
Tempe Jeff, some Italians would like to have a word with you. Things could get…unpleasant.
No, that’s the whole point of listening to the professionals at the CDC and similar agencies. Most of the measures that are being put into place are not being recommended by the CDC. For instance, the CDC recommends closing a school for three weeks when there’s a diagnosis of a student or staff member. They don’t recommend closing all of the schools for the rest of the year as soon as there are five diagnoses in the entire state.
The reason that people are panicking is because our leaders are panicking, and because neither the people nor the leaders are paying attention to the professionals.
