Not like the flu

Add 1000 more things in my lifetime that didn’t pan out. Hell, when I was a kid a giant glass of OJ was recommended as a great start to every day and eggs were evil. The government said so!YellowSnow said:

It’s that we have an acceptable risk tolerance baked into everything. Driving, flu, swimming in the ocean, etc. We could reduce flu deaths and cases dramatically. We could reduce car deaths dramatically. In our minds we don’t believe the cost of what it would reduce flu deaths or automobile deaths is worth the lose of economic activity and freedom. H1N1 infected 66 million, killed 12-15,000 and we didn’t miss a beat. As with most government responses to panic, I’m sure this will be another on the pile where the cure was worse than the disease. I don’t know for sure, but in the history of my life it’s played out over and over. “But THIS time it’s different” I guess we’ll see, but in my lifetime all I’ve seen from the media and government is bullshit and their track record is terrible.YellowSnow said:

We have also heavily criticized the CDCs supposedly elite MDs who phu*cked up the testing and also apparently left our national hospital system woefully unprepared for a pandemic with a growing shortage of masks, hazard gear and ventilators. In 1952 there were 21,000 cases of paralytic polio. The nation didn't shut down. There are 3,000 motor vehicle deaths in the US a month. Ban cars? Crippling the national economy and destroying hundreds of thousands of small businesses leaving millions unemployed does have consequences.
Of course Italy is more vulnerable to us for a variety of factors, love of Chi Com tourism dollars among them. But still it’s overwhelming there system in the way that flu doesn’t not, which is what we’re trying to prevent here.
I don’t know if if the economic misery will have been worth it or not. I’m leaning towards not being worth it.
But anyone here who thinks they can predict how this all plays out is full of shit.
Humans are completely irrational when it comes to risk. All the virtue signaling social distancers I know are the same kids who bike their kids to daycare on busy streets with construction and busses. Doesn’t seem logical.
All I’m saying, is that this time it could be different. Just because H1N1 or killer bees didn’t pan out, doesn’t mean that’s always gonna hold true. -

Just got back from the liquor store. Forgot the Bordeaux cherries for the Old Fashioneds. We have really great data points from the cruise ship and South Korea. The data points tell us this isn't the Andromeda Strain. It tell us that this is really only a threat to old people, particularly those with compromised lung or immune systems beyond just being old - like smokers or cancer survivors. Like I said, use the numbers. We have them. The other thing after this is over, get the phuck out of China. Trump was the visionary on what the chicoms were doing to this country aided and abetted by the dems, the RINOs, and the MSM. The dem candidate for President will be owned by the chicoms. Trump will tie that tire chain around Slo Joe's neck and set it on fire. The MSM and the leftards will whine like little bitches, but the truth should win out. Anyone that supported putting the chicoms in charge of our pharmaceuticals should be disqualified from office and government employment. But both Inslee and the switch hitter Brown (god I pity either sex that touches that worthless bag of crap) will just refocus on phucking over working Americans rather than the chicoms.

Of course the economic misery isn't worth granny and her 5 prexisting conditions or fat Bob and his 40 year smoking habit.
And I work in an industry that is seeing growth because of this.
You have a 2 year old. I have a 2 month old. You've been a massive fucking pussy the past couple days. Go dig into that mountain of tp in your apartment and tide the pants shitting buddy.
