    The positive for @dnc is that they really don't want Joe speaking in public all that much and now they have a valid reason other than we don't want him talking in public that much

    And Trump won't ( I hope) be holding any rallies for awhile which are his strength

    This may be a total Internet media campaign depending on if there is ever an end game to cancellations

    12,469 deaths out of 61M infections is a death rate of .02%, just around the same as the annual flu. As of this morning, the death rate of the coronavirus in the US is 2.5% (41 deaths, 1663 known cases). I know you MAGAtards don't understand math and facts but that's why there's been more hysteria and panic over this, not because of a media fueled conspiracy to take down Trump.

    Statistically insignificant. It got into a fucking nursing home - a nursing home that likely was one step from hospice care as disclosed by one of the poasters here.

    Get back to me when there are at LEAST 10,000 confirmed cases. And even then, that is a gnats eyelash of the total population that would make any of this bullshit meaningful.

    Live your life in fear if you want - but get that bullshit out of here. Maff eventually proves it all out. And right now the maff is inconclulsive at best, laughable at worst.


    Never claimed it was significant. Just explaining why there's mass panic right now compared to the swine flu that posters here barely remember.
    Fuck off with your mansplaining.

    That's the source of the panic. The concerted and constant bombardment of statistically insignificant data. The manipulation of public thought will not abide.

    Mortality rate is high because they aren't testing anyone. If they did, it would be way below half of one percent.

    Turn off cable news bullshit, that stupid msn homepage, and social media. Total fear mongering.

    It's like the City of Seattle claiming crime is down.

    Well, you don't arrest people for crimes....d'uh.

    The cancellations will make this memorable for ever

    Mass death would too but even if it is nothing we will #neverforget this winter / spring

    Obama waited MONTHS before declaring the H1N1 a national emergency.

    And despite the fact that the virus was coming into the US from Mexico President Obama NEVER shut down the border with Mexico.

    This won’t make any headlines in the coming weeks.


    PJ Media reported:

    In April of 2009, the H1N1 became a pandemic.

    But it wasn’t until six months later, October, that then-President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic. By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.

    CNN reported at the time:

    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] Furthermore, the CDC’s Frieden fretted at the time that efforts to create a vaccine had stumbled:

    “We are nowhere near where we thought we would be,” Frieden said, acknowledging that manufacturing delays have contributed to less vaccine being available than expected. “As public health professionals, vaccination is our strongest tool. Not having enough is frustrating to all of us.”

    Frieden said that while the way vaccine is manufactured is “tried and true,” it’s not well-suited for ramping up production during a pandemic because it takes at least six months. The vaccine is produced by growing weakened virus in eggs.

    But wait, there’s more.

    According to Virology Journal, the 2009 H1N1 came into the U.S. from Mexico:

    The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in 2009 and was first found in human beings in Mexico, is a reassortant with at least three parents. Six of the genes are closest in sequence to those of H1N2 ‘triple-reassortant’ influenza viruses isolated from pigs in North America around 1999-2000.

    Irrelevant, but also a lie by omission.

    I don’t give a shit that Trump is out there. The media is creating hysteria for political purposes. That you can’t see this says a lot about you

    You might try reality and ask yourself a few questions:

    Here we are with the NBA shut down along with the NHL, MLB, all college athletics including March Madness, schools closed etc. because of the Corona virus.

    Why weren’t all these measures taken during far worse epidemics?

    The H1N1 epidemic which was far worse
    Polio
    Measles
    Mumps
    Rubella
    Tuberculosis
    Chicken Pox
    Even the fucking yearly flu FFS

    Why might that be the case?

    Trump asks for us to come together and all we get is Democrats, libs nevertrumpers and people of your ilk criticizing and attacking because of the need to retake political power.

    If Trump was so clear how Biden and Obama fucked up he would have shut everything down six weeks ago. He is not ahead of this. I'm glad measures are being taken but it should have been done six weeks ago.

    Don't be an idiot. Trump is whiny and complaining about the past.

    I forgot, Trump is the Messiah here. He does no wrong!



    Trump had what he thinks to be his "presidential moment" with his address, which sewed more confusion and sent actual policy makers and administrators into turmoil, so good work to him there. I don't even care that he said "foreign virus." Regardless, now that he thinks he's been decisive, he'll spend the next 6 months on tweeting on "whataboutism" sorts of things. Comparisons to previous pandemics are relevant, the problem is he can't do it without politicizing the whole deal (which both sides are doing, sure).

    But hey, Masters is postponed. The Field wins again.
    Careful

    I think that may change today when Trump declares a national emergency. That opens the floodgates.

    I know a lot of folks are going to be hurting. The job losses alone from no sporting events is staggering

    The issue as always is are our? tax dollars ever going to get to people who need it.

    Probably not

    I'm getting kind of pissed at both sides now. It's like they are trying to one up each other with who can make the biggest declaration of panic.

    I just watched a news conference for a regional health district. I kid you not, the administrator started crying. Dude couldn't speak. LIke it was his one shining moment and he was overcome with the enormity of it all.

    There are zero known cases in the county.

    Da fuq is wrong with people right now?!?!

    Christ.

    Its not political




    I remember in July of 2105 when the Trump campaign was over. I like Zombie Trump in this one. Awfully warm for November
    From the article:


    To be sure, the president isn’t responsible for either the coronavirus or the disease it causes, COVID-19, and he couldn’t have stopped it from hitting our shores even if he had done everything right. Nor is it the case that the president hasn’t done anything right; in fact, his decision to implement a travel ban on China was prudent. And any narrative that attempts to pin all of the blame on Trump for the coronavirus is simply unfair. The temptation among the president’s critics to use the pandemic to get back at Trump for every bad thing he’s done should be resisted, and schadenfreude is never a good look.

    So the author more or less exonerates him from fault but THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY IS OVER!!!!!
    It exonerates him of fault for the virus and its arrival in America. Duh!

    His lack of leadership qualities is on full display.

    I hear he said that all cargo from Europe was also be kept out and then corrected himself shortly thereafter. Asshole.

    Expand on that

    Was it trying to stay positive or now going full blown political cover his ass with promises of aid and comfort from big brother?

    Reasonable people ( so not you) can disagree if trying to talk up the market was good or bad, I think it was worth a shot. I don't think it hurt anything other than some people's feelings

    He's now being "presidential"

    Why do you need to be led anyway? Are you that weak?

    He’s the CEO of the Federal Government, which does need to be led. Making decisions based upon how they make “his” statistics look—because “it’s not our fault”—isn’t leadership. He actually said that out in front of God and everyone.

    People who used to say “character counts” have been willing to accept anything because of tax cuts and a rising stock market. You’ve still got your tax cut and it’s only going to kill you if you’re over 60. Sleep tight.

    Your precious federal government has trillions of dollars a year and hundreds of agencies that allegedly exist to deal with this shit.

    Did they fail?

    Its not our fault. Its your Chi Com masters fault. WHO just said that Europe is now the center of the disease and worse than China was

    You know the socialist paradises with free healthcare and test kits and shit

    You want to blame Trump that's fine. I just wanted to show the jury how hollow your reasoning is

    Your dismissed

    Wasn't Trump just called a xenophobe for his decision to shut down travel from Europe and didn't Nancy Pelosi and the House Rats vote to restrict the President from imposing travel bans?

    Leadership is calling for open borders while claiming it's racist to restrict travel it appears.

    Btw, you know who is doing little if any testing and has very little Corona virus? Russia. They shut their border down.

    Daddy disassembling our pandemic response team was a choice he made in 2018. Short sighted as it turned out. But no one is blaming him for the existence of a virus. And really, there are too many old people. Some good will come of this.

    Keep hope alive and keep moving the goalposts

    Your precious federal government has trillions of dollars a year and hundreds of agencies that allegedly exist to deal with this shit.

    Did they fail?

    Its not our fault. Its your Chi Com masters fault. WHO just said that Europe is now the center of the disease and worse than China was

    You know the socialist paradises with free healthcare and test kits and shit

    You want to blame Trump that's fine. I just wanted to show the jury how hollow your reasoning is

    Your dismissed

    Daddy disassembling our pandemic response team was a choice he made in 2018. Short sighted as it turned out. But no one is blaming him for the existence of a virus. And really, there are too many old people. Some good will come of this.
    Btw, the "pandemic response team" that Trump disassembled consisted of one guy on the National Security council. The CDC's pandemic response team was never touched. But O'Keefed must feel that having five layers of bureaucracy all doing the same thing keeps us save.

    Its not political




    I remember in July of 2105 when the Trump campaign was over. I like Zombie Trump in this one. Awfully warm for November
    From the article:


    To be sure, the president isn’t responsible for either the coronavirus or the disease it causes, COVID-19, and he couldn’t have stopped it from hitting our shores even if he had done everything right. Nor is it the case that the president hasn’t done anything right; in fact, his decision to implement a travel ban on China was prudent. And any narrative that attempts to pin all of the blame on Trump for the coronavirus is simply unfair. The temptation among the president’s critics to use the pandemic to get back at Trump for every bad thing he’s done should be resisted, and schadenfreude is never a good look.

    So the author more or less exonerates him from fault but THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY IS OVER!!!!!
    It exonerates him of fault for the virus and its arrival in America. Duh!

    His lack of leadership qualities is on full display.
    Expand on that

    Was it trying to stay positive or now going full blown political cover his ass with promises of aid and comfort from big brother?

    Reasonable people ( so not you) can disagree if trying to talk up the market was good or bad, I think it was worth a shot. I don't think it hurt anything other than some people's feelings

    He's now being "presidential"

    Why do you need to be led anyway? Are you that weak?
    He’s the CEO of the Federal Government, which does need to be led. Making decisions based upon how they make “his” statistics look—because “it’s not our fault”—isn’t leadership. He actually said that out in front of God and everyone.

    People who used to say “character counts” have been willing to accept anything because of tax cuts and a rising stock market. You’ve still got your tax cut and it’s only going to kill you if you’re over 60. Sleep tight.
    Can one of the HH tech guys write a macro so I can just shortcut key my "Fuck Off" response every time H posts something?

    The Throbber is a busy guy.
