Fuckin ignant up in this bitch. This isn't the flu. It's more contagious, the death rate is higher, and there is no vaccine. Stop comparing the two. Maybe it's going to get worse, maybe it isn't. I just know that Forrest Gump got it, experts are concerned, elderly are dying, US senators are quarantining themselves, symptoms don't show for 14 days, Iran is digging mass burial pits, and no one knows how to get tested. The day that you are making a comment on the internet is not the day in which the full-extent of the virus spread/consequences has been reached. Have some fucking foresight, you twats. This very well could just be the start of it, but maybe fucking not. I come in here and some are railing about media conspiracies against Trump and bullying rational discussion like it's r/TheDonald. Get the fuck over yourself, internet tough guys. Christ. Be cautious, don't read Breitbart like a fucking moron, don't turn every fucking thing into political warfare, and LIPO. I feel like at a beer league softball game in Pensacola in here. I guess I'm new to the Tug. I'll gladly see myself out.
LIPO. We'll know in a few months time whether the panic was merited or not.

I'm in the bulls eye of CV hell right now with work, kid's schools closed for weeks at a minimum, pre-schedule out patient surgery for the wife being cancelled, etc, etc. I can't recall anything like this in my lifetime as it relates to a germ hysteria. Something has the worldwide medical community spooked and it's not just some Donkey conspiracy to take down Trump.
The thing is that this virus is harder to spread than the run of the mill flu. It's more dangerous than the run of the mill flu, but is easier contained. The travel bans will help as long as people do what they are supposed to do here. The biggest mistake was allowing any trading on the NYSE.
Serious discussion, I've only seen the opposite. Where did you hear that?
There are contradictory reports of how transmissible Covid-19 is. The disease does not seem to spread as easily as the flu, according to the WHO, which found that most of the spread in China was through close contacts like family members. Other disease modeling suggests the new virus is more transmissible than the flu.

Is it really the medical community that is spooked? I just pasted a note from WHO which is part of the UN world wide communist conspiracy and he said 80% will have mild symptoms. The usual people who die off every year from the flu will continue to do so
Right now it is a media and internet panic attack creation until it isn't
And it is clearly being used as a hail mary against Trump. That isn't even a question.
So if Cankles was POTUS and all other things being eqaul my kids wouldn't be out of school for 2 weeks now and NBA would still be on?
Good to know that my life is being fucked with in so many ways because of a conspiracy to get Trump.
Well has the flu caused this type of reaction before? Nope. The last thing to cause this reaction was AIDS and we would be homophobic bigots if we reacted like this. Do the math
Did the democrats blame your boy for a hurricane? Why yes they did. The playbook never changes.
You can call it a conspiracy if you want but it is what it is. Its the democrats and their media and social media looking to not let an alleged crisis go to waste

And everyone feels for you. By all means, continue believing the RATs care about you and just more government will solve all your problems. Just be prepared to spend less time with the professionals your child needs.
I'm not a Dem. I've voted GOP in 6 Presidential Elections.
Fair enough but you seem to walk a fine line between true conservatism (small government) and a bigger, more progressive approach to government.
I'm a moderate who leans right, but am not an ideologue. I'm like Reagan and if I have to give on 30% to get 70% that's fine by me. The @RaceBannon grand bargain is perfect example of my politics: Keep your guns (inc AR's with 30 round mags) in exchanges for abortion being safe, legal and rare.

Sounds sane. Hope the kid finds a new normal. One of my employees had their 10 year old diagnosed with it this week. He's into sports big time and they were devastated. I helped them realize tons and tons of professional athletes and executives have it too.

I'm not 100% sure things wouldn't be different, at least to some degree. First of all Hillary would have had a stronger up front response which probably would have prevented some of the out and out panic we're seeing now. We are naturally skeptical of government as Americans so when the government says "worry about this" we roll our eyes but when they say "don't worry about this" we freak out. Trump said "don't worry" often enough that it ended up biting him in the ass. He's clearly course corrected but even that is worrisome - "if even Trump is freaking out about this it must be really serious".
I'd take a Trump presidency 10 times out of 10 over a Hillary one. But I think she probably would have handled this better and the mass hysteria we are now experiencing would exist but probably not to this degree.
I don't think any less people would actually die under Hillary, don't twist, but that's a different conversation.
You mean like restricting travel from China 6 weeks ago and having the senate minority leader accuse him of acting on xenophobia?
