The Coronavirus, not the beer

[The Chosen One]

Just wait. Soo. He will say new cases are Democrats trying to get the virus to make him look bad. I know it's coming. He kind of partially said it about reporters.

Has he called it a new witch hunt yet

[Metaphysicist]

I believe on Fox News they were calling it the “new impeachment.”

It's sad because most of his base believe it too

In the last few days I have had several people try to intimidate me when they overhear me talking to someone else about the Coronavirus even when it's not related to Trump. It's happened 3 times over 2 days where someone comes up to me while I was talking with someone and yelled "Dont talk about my President!" Then proceeded to try and say it's all a media conspiracy to get Trump. The first time we werent even talking about Trump. Theres nothing like the look on an idiot's face when they start going off on Hillary and Biden only for me to say "yeah I agree, lock them up. Couldnt agree more".

I'm tired of sensationalist media folks like "the federal government's top infectious diseases expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)" who won't admit that this is exactly like the flu.

Coronavirus 10 times more lethal than seasonal flu, top health official says

“I mean people always say, 'Well, the flu does this, the flu does that,'” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said Wednesday during a hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

“The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality rate of 10 times that. That’s the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this,” he added.

...

“Bottom line: It’s going to get worse,” Fauci said. “If we don’t do very serious mitigation now, what’s going to happen is we’re going to be weeks behind,” in containing the spread of the virus.

I think they know they are likely already weeks behind.

Great speech.

Market is going to bottom out tomorrow.

Market is going to bottom out tomorrow.

That’s means it’ll be a great time to get into it on Friday. Do you play the American market or do invest in the Chinese or Russian markets since our form of capitalism is so bad and its unfair to some of us?

NBA is done. It’ll pick up with the playoffs with current standings

I don't know what you're babbling about. I'm pointing out that the market is gonna bottom out, where the actual bottom is we won't know. but we rely on a lot of goods from Europe (and I'm assuming Europe is liekly to enact a similar ban with America) we do a lot of business with Germany. And it isn't all obvious. Like a lot of medical equipment and technology and almost anything optical has German parts in it. We're in for a rough rough ride for at least the next month. Possibly longer. I'm preparing for the worst. I will go stock up on non-perishables to ride me through the next month or so. I have a freezer mostly full of meat that I can cook. Like this could get really bad before it gets better, I hope it doesn't go that far, but we could be looking depression level bad. Hopefully the folks in Washington step up and don't allow it to come to this. Honestly the best thing to offer would be to just say to every American adult and emancipated youth, you get 4k for not going to work or going out for the next month. Only have grocery/drug stores stay open. Keep everything at a bare minimum. It would be a huge debt. But we're gonna see losses almost that high anyway.

[The Chosen One]

When Trump starts trying to pass stimulus bills and handing out money to help those hurt by what's going on, do we start calling that socialism?

Trump isn't some weird inexplicable aberration, he's the natural

(if absurd) culmination of everything every republican,

including the sanctimonious never trumpers, worked for

since Goldwater. And here we are, government

having been mostly drowned in a bathtub.

Good luck everyone.
School closings in Cobb County. Valdosta for 2 weeks I understand.
Local University going to online classes.

Alas we learn the health insurance industry is not equipped to handle care so the government is in deed turning to a M4A solution

Australia now has drive-thru coronavirus testing.

South Korea has it.

Germany has it.

What the hell is happening in America??

[nsacpi]

As I understand it Americans will still be able to travel to Europe and bring back the virus. Is that correct?

I thought you can leave but not come back?

Trump's address to the nation:

1. Said he was banning cargo shipments from Europe (He is not)

2. Said the travel restrictions to Europe go into effect on midnight Friday (It's 24 hours later)

3. Said insurers have agreed to waive copays for COVID-19 treatment (They have not)

Hey Dumbass,

While American health officials declared a public health emergency on April 26, 2009, then-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano downplayed the announcement, calling it “standard operating procedure," adding that she would rather refer to it as a "declaration of emergency preparedness." It wasn't until four months later in October, that then-President Obama himself declared an H1N1 national emergency.

CNN reported in October 2009:

Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [emphasis added]
