I was wrong about Covid 19, and you probably was too.

[Bo Didleysquat]

Doesn't really matter what that percentage is. What matters is --- how close is it to you.

one person in my entire county has tested positive.

Great. Zero persons in my entire county, or any one surrounding it, have tested positive.

Yay us. Fringe benefits of living rural.

But you won't see me going over them thar mountains to Tennessee, or down to that other Carolina. Don't need to. Gas is cheap now.

No one I know in rural CA has it either and you can bet that we won't be going to the LA or SF shitholes probably ever again.

Ah thank you. "Shitholes", that reminds me.

Speaking of which, it's the fourth Sunday of the month and time to check in on Rump's "shithole countries" and see how they're shittin' up. Let's have a look.

Nigeria:
30 total cases, 0 deaths, 0.1 infections per 1M population.

Uganda:
1 case, 0 deaths, 0.03 infections per 1M population

Somalia:
1 case, 0 deaths, 0.06 infections per 1M population

Kenya:
15 cases, 0 deaths, 0.3 infections per 1M population.

Congo:
3 cases, 0 deaths, 0.5 infections per 1M population.

Nicaragua:
2 cases, 0 deaths, 0.3 infections per 1M population

Haiti:
2 cases, 0 deaths, 0.3 infections per 1M population.

Venezuela:
70 cases, 0 deaths, 2 cases per 1M population.

"Button"
1 case, 0 deaths, 0.3 infections per 1M population.

"Nipple"
1 case, 0 deaths, 0.03 infections per 1M population.

Ghana:
21 cases, 1 death, 0.7 infections per 1M population --- AHA! See that, they're dying in Ghana. What a shithole.

Kind of indicates no one travels to those shitholes.

Unless, and I am really not quite sure what your point is anyway, they are just really glorious vacation spots that the left don't go to.

I mean I do seem to recall the skinny negro and his husband michelle getting a giant mansion in Martha's Vineyard.

I remember him vacationing in Tuscany. Don't recall him doing to Button or Nipple......

Really? Button and Nipple?

Oh look it is another identity political moment from a ridiculous left wing beige woman.

COVID-19 seems to like americans just fine, and americans seem to enjoy sharing it.

It's never smart to be cavalier about threats however, it is also not smart to be hysterical. The MSM and CNN (and others) are making it hard for everyone with their knee-jerk hysteria when it comes to blaming our President for being a 'racist' by calling the virus 'Chinese' (because that is where it came from), blaming Trump for not assuaging the supposed 'fear' of most Americans while he is doing everything in his power to keep US informed and up to date WITHOUT spreading fear.

I have YET to see or hear anyone calling Chinese a "race" but let's not keep that from promulgating a mythology, eh?

An NBC reporter did when he asked Trump if calling it the Chinese virus was racist.

You need to catch up to this story, Simpleton.

Actually **YOU** need to provide the link you never showed in your double-strawman thread.

I provided a link in my post #263. Trump never called Chinese a 'race' the MSM did it. Why do you continue with this idiocy?

That post wasn't for you. I already panned your link. Nostril here started a thread claiming some reporter called it "racist", said right in his own OP that he didn't have a link, then when that one fagged out he started another one, again with no link. THAT'S what the post you quoted refers to. See you can kind of tell who's being addressed by looking at what post was quoted.

As for your link, you didn't quote "the MSM". You quoted someone called "Harvey Dong".

"Button" and "Nipple" are what Rump called Bhutan and Nepal when it was pointed out to them that they uh, EXIST.

Ever been there? No? Thought not.

Depends on which one you mean. I must say, Nipple was highly recommended. Actually Nepal was too.

That's what the MSM called it.

"The last-minute edit was captured in photos taken by The Washington Post’s Jabin Botsford and marks the latest instance of Trump deliberately calling the novel virus a name that has been frowned upon by critics, who say its usage could lead to increased discrimination and racism toward Asian Americans — a marginalized group with a long history of being scapegoated amid public health crises.

“It’s racist and it creates xenophobia,” Harvey Dong, a lecturer in Asian American and Asian diaspora studies with the University of California at Berkeley, told The Post. “It’s a very dangerous situation.”

Sooooooooooo "Harvey Dong" is "the MSM" is he?

Must be a bigly guy.

Rump inciting ethnic violence however, does have a long and checkered history so he's clearly not wrong there.

WaPo IS the MSM you idiot!

I didnt wait. I started worrying in the beginning of Jan. Even gave my daughters masks before they went back to college just in case.

Masks don't prevent the spread of those that don't have it but only for those that do, so why did you give them masks? Your lies are funny.

Yeah I know that now. However that shows my thinking even before it really started hitting. If I could figure it out as a layperson, why didnt that fuckup in the WH know something was wrong? Simple. He was more worried about his numbers than the people.

He did. No one knew what it was exactly until it was too late. Like you, Trump is human. Hell the NBA halted their season too late too. The impact of Trumps decisions has massive negatives on our economy and human psyche. Do you really blame him for waiting a little longer to completely shut the country down? One of my clients told me life was not worth living as he had to lay off 150+ people. He has three young kids at home. Trump is doing the best he can. Even on this board people are arguing if he overreacted. Opinions differ. This is an extremely difficult and unprecedented situation. I hope your family is safe. Despite our feud, I wish for health and happiness for you and yours. Look at the bright side, my people seem to have discovered an effective treatment.

Teva donates potential coronavirus treatment to hospitals across the US

I expect a mass collapse of small businesses because of this. A month closed will kill damn near every independent restaurant in the country.

There are places where I live that are doing take out however, many restaurants depend on their ambience and will still have to pay for the brick and mortar. I hope you are wrong though.

Most restaurants make 25-40% of their income from something that they cannot sell: alcohol!

My neighbor is in a panic, because he has rent, taxes, and a pile of other bills due, and no idea how he'll pay any of it.

I'm going to refrain from calling you what I think you are. WaPo can pick and choose what they publish. They publish anti-Trump propaganda and fear mongering shit like this while claiming to be objective journalists. Hell, you seem to not even agree with it. Yet you, somehow give them a pass. We know you are a dyed in the wool TDSer so, just give up the fake objective shit. You are bad at it. Also,l I bet you think Trump IS a racist.

Thank God our government took this more seriously than we did.... I guess they knew more than us.

The CDC says that as many as 59,000 Americans have died from the flu since last September. Yawn. Ho hum.

Around 6 PM today the TV news cited another CDC statistic that 400 Americans have died from the coronavirus. Emergency!! Suspend the Constitution - Permanently!! Declare Martial Law - Now!! Stop the economy - Now!! Stay in the house - or else!! Shut up and take your Masters’ orders!! Rev up the printing presses!! Imprison all dissenters!!
