President downplays coronavirus as less harmful than the flu

What a dimbfuck right?



President Andrés Manuel López Obrador tried to calm global fears by characterizing the virus as less harmful than the flu, saying: “I repeat, according to the available information, it is not something terrible, fatal... There shouldn't be any yellow journalism, or exaggerations, to cause a mass psychosis of fear, of terror.”

The reason I've been posting so much the last 2 days is I've quarantined myself into my bedroom with the flu and a 102.3 fever. I have all the symptoms and have been in 2 international terminals with hundreds to thousands of asians wearing masks. But a lot of people around me have had the flu so what good would it do to go to the hospital? I broke the fever and now have to kill the cough. No big deal. This COVID19 BS is just another strain. I'll be good to go this weekend but will lay low in respect for others.

Lying).

Still early and remains to be seen.

Meh. It's a nothing burger. People are just bored and don't have any real issues to rally around. So they will find something to make a big deal of. It's the big issue of our time.

Agree.

Ebola was much more “scary”...

SECDAWG

Ebola is devastating with a high mortality rate. Very high. And got controlled.

Corona virus is a lot less on the Richter scale...

Imagine if this was worse than influenza...

Over the last three years, much of what the Guardian holds dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth. This US administration is establishing new norms of behaviour. Anger and cruelty disfigure public discourse and lying is commonplace. Truth is being chased away.

Do they mean like antifa and leftists doing millions of dollars of property damage after trump was elected?

Or do they mean irrational narcissistic fear mongering to get clicks?
