How ugly could it get? Trump faces echoes of 1929 in coronavirus crisis.

[bluzman61]

How many more people must get sick or die before we stop believing trumps lies? The right has allowed trump to lie about everything.

Let's start with you then we can see what we think. Any fever yet? I've personally allowed Trump to lie about everything! Lie Donald Lie! Now I give Trump permission to give you a fatal virus then hold back testing and treatment. We'll try the placebo on you. With a dirty needle. No hospital beds either, sorry, you'll have to stay in the back alley with the rest of the undesirables.

Yep, this sounds VERY appropriate for our little Buckwheat.......

The right has allowed trump to lie about everything. Now he is lying by claiming he did not know that everybody can't get tested. He lied about a vaccine and we have at least 1 stooge here who repeats the lie like its actually so. trumps consistent lying is costing American lives. It's time to stop believing him and high time to strongly question everything he says and does. We are not doing fine, there are no vaccines, we don't have enough tests, the medicals professionals don't have the equipment they need, millions are laid off from work, businesses are losing money, and what's the explanation we get from the top?

The media is making this up. Come on man! How much longer are some of us going to accept this bs line?

I believe Israel is testing a vaccine, dumbass, and so are we.

It's time to stop believe dumbasses like you and the fake news media.

It's interesting to see IM2 not fight back on his OWN thread. I think he realizes that he's outnumbered, 4 conservatives to 1, and his dim liberal buddies are nowhere in sight to help him.

Perhaps the media should refrain from asking bullshit questions. They just won't let up on the fear mongering. Hundreds of times more infected and dead from the flu, some ass holes just need some perspective, you're one of them. OH RIGHT, that wouldn't lend well for your commie propaganda purposes, would it? GFY!!!!!!!!

Now he's outnumbered SIX to ONE. I don't THINK he'll be coming back here tonight. Hilarious!

i had to put the idiot IM2 on ignore because i was losing points of IQ trying to debate him. I wonder how many black babies have died because of the liberal compassion to allow women of color "choice", and how many more will die because of that? A virus, yes liberalism is a virus that kills more people than anything God can give out....Liberalism is worse than the plague..

Wait, IM2's recent post, "How many more people....." was merged into THIS one. WTF?

Funny how buckwheat doesn't get crossed out.

Why is the government shutting down the American economy? In three months within a population of 327 million, less than 200 sick old people have died from the common cold caused by a new virus.

There are now more than 21,000 cases that have been confirmed in the United States. That is to be expected. As the U.S. tests more, it is logical to expect more cases. It is illogical to assume the increasing number is all due to increasing number of cases.

Put a different way, there are 21,000 cases of the common cold caused by a new virus. That is not at all unusual.

In a nation of 327 million, there have been 288 deaths caused by complications of the common cold from the coronavirus in three months, most are the elderly with underlying conditions and in nursing homes or other facilities

Again, that number is not at all unusual. In fact, it is quite low.

I am going to go out on limb here and offer a really crazy idea.

Could the cure be worse than the disease in a very real sense. Think about it. Dad and mom have lost their jobs. Bills will go unpaid, most likely for months. The children are underfoot because of school closures. The average family has permanently lost thousands of dollars in their retirement savings and investments. It will take years to get back where they were a few weeks ago, if they get it back. They can't go anywhere. They are ordered by politicians to stay home and all sports are shut down. No NBA or NHL championships. No March madness. No Masters, and all golf leagues are cancelled. The start of the baseball season has been postponed.

Will this cause an increase in stress? Of course, and in a major sense. It is reasonable to assume the murder rate and the suicide rate will go up, as people go nuts and frustrated, unable to correct the many concerns they have or find relief in leisure activities. The death toll from covid-19 is quite small in the U.S., 288 in three months.

In the past ten years there have been several incidences of a man being laid off from his job, then returning to his .or store with a gun and shooting up the place, killing co-workers and customers alike. Or a student or former student takes out his frustration on a school. Is that more likely to happen because of the conditions created by our politicians? It is reasonable to expect that to be true. It may already have begun, but the media and the Trump White House are too busy telling us all the horrible things that may happen to us.

The suicide and murder rates are already high in the U.S. It is reasonable to assume that there will be a sharp increase in those numbers.

Crazy, huh?

just imagine how bad the economy would get if a anti business anti capitalist democrat were in office !

we would not be in this economic disaster if we didn’t have an anti-science President in office when the Coronavirus was spreading around the globe.

I don't get it.

You can’t. You may very well be dumber than Trump.

What coronavirus does to the body: COVID infection process, symptoms

but you’d have to read it.

189 deaths in three months within a population of 327 million. That's the approximate death rate for common cold complications in the sick and elderly.

That’s because if it were business and schooling as usual, there would be millions of deaths.

Here’s what it will do to you:

What coronavirus does to the body: COVID infection process, symptoms

“Once inside the body, it begins infecting epithelial cells in the lining of the lung. A protein on the receptors of the virus can attach to a host cell's receptors and penetrate the cell. Inside the host cell, the virus begins to replicate until it kills the cell.

This first takes place in the upper respiratory tract, which includes the nose, mouth, larynx and bronchi.

The patient begins to experience mild version of symptoms: dry cough, shortness of breath, fever and headache and muscle pain and tiredness, comparable to the flu.


The 13.8% of severe cases and 6.1% critical cases are due to the virus trekking down the windpipe and entering the lower respiratory tract, where it seems to prefer growing.

“The lungs are the major target,” Hirsch said.

As the virus continues to replicate and journeys further down the windpipe and into the lung, it can cause more respiratory problems like bronchitis and pneumonia, according to Dr. Raphael Viscidi, infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins Medicine.


Pneumonia is characterized by shortness of breath combined with a cough and affects tiny air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, Viscidi said. The alveoli are where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

When pneumonia occurs, the thin layer of alveolar cells is damaged by the virus. The body reacts by sending immune cells to the lung to fight it off.

"And that results in the linings becoming thicker than normal," he said. "As they thicken more and more, they essentially choke off the little air pocket, which is what you need to get the oxygen to your blood."

“So it’s basically a war between the host response and the virus,” Hirsch said. “Depending who wins this war we have either good outcomes where patients recover or bad outcomes where they don’t.”

Restricting oxygen to the bloodstream deprives other major organs of oxygen including the liver, kidney and brain.

In a small number of severe cases that can develop into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which requires a patient be placed on a ventilator to supply oxygen.

However, if too much of the lung is damaged and not enough oxygen is supplied to the rest of the body, respiratory failure could lead to organ failure and death.

Viscidi stresses that outcome is uncommon for the majority of patients infected with coronavirus. Those most at risk to severe developments are older than 70 and have weak immune responses. Others at risk include people with pulmonary abnormalities, chronic disease or compromised immune systems, such as cancer patients who have gone through chemotherapy treatment.
