We need to stop over-reacting to the Coronavirus.

[bendog]

What reacting? McConnell went home for a rest. Passing all these bills is hard work.

 

[martybegan]

how do you know?

Are you a head of emergency medicine/infectious disease at a hospital?

Because our health department has been communicating extensively with us and that’s what’s going on.

Nothing more than generic hearsay on your part, and considering you have an axe to grind against Trump, I doubt your objectivity on this subject.

I don’t care what you think. I know what’s true. You’re not a part of this so you’re claims aren’t even based on hearsay, just guessing and hoping, a lot like Trump’s response until very recently.

If the spread is halted or slowed, it’ll be because people did things that the right has been making fun of them for doing. Much of the Trump base tried to minimize the risk. Some still are. The country is more rational than these people.

I have a degree in Engineering, which allows me to see the situation as a problem, with given data, assumptions, and outcomes. Epidemiology is more statistics than medicine, so your being an MD, an RN, and LPN or even a medical biller doesn't give you the added insight you think it does.

Chinese death rates are not definitive of what rest of world will experience.

Really? How so? Poor countries will do better? or did you mean worse?

China hospitalized every single case they found. Do we plan to do that? No? Then how will our death rate be lower?

Americans aren't undernourished for one....all been explained on multiple threads...... Whole lot of fearmongoring going on.

Americans are largely overweight and obese and suffer from terrible diets. Not a good formula for fighting disease.

Also known as a lie he read right off of a teleprompter.

Do you have the teleprompter readout?

incredible...you’re pathetic

Evidently not.

Even if that got on the teleprompter, it was a mistake. They are waiving copays on testing, which was something dems were complaining about.

Yet a miswording and you guys get to bitch about even that.

It was a lie. Plain and simple. You just can’t be critical of your master

"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period"

3,774 cases now.

and for the flu

CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through March 7, 2020, there have been:
36,000,000 – 51,000,000
flu illnesses

17,000,000 – 24,000,000
flu medical visits

370,000 – 670,000
flu hospitalizations

22,000 – 55,000
flu deaths

Neat, comparing an entire year of a less lethal disease to a new pandemic.

You're either dumb or intentionally misleading.

Let's hope you're smart enough to commit to social distancing.

You can't fix that level of stupid. The fool has the dunce cap WELDED on to his skull.

It’s a huge difference.

But in the end it doesn't make any difference. It's just something for people who don't like Trump to nit-pick about.

Does confidence in the president not make any difference?

Of course it does, but most progressives can't get past the chance this provides to get rid of him in November to stop being partisan about the situation, and Trump's actions during it.

In NYC I hate DiBlasio with a passion, but I am not actively criticising his actions with regards to the crisis, even though the bar ban to me smacks of overreacting.

I am willing to let it go for a few weeks before I decide to oppose it actively.

There's nothing to oppose, so your argument is moot. Unless you're saying everyone in NYC should be gallivanting about as if nothing is happening.

The economy is being harmed by the Coronavirus hysteria created by the mainstream media. The virus itself will not harm our economy that much as long as we don't over-react. Most of the damage being done by the Coronavirus is being done by people talking about it and over-reacting. Contrast this with how well the world handled the flu pandemic of 1918. The stock market in the USA actually only dropped about 5% that year.

To put things into perspective, the 1918 flu killed about 50,000,000 people out of 1.6 billion. Today, that would be proportional to a virus killing about 215 million people worldwide. That sounds like it would be devastating, except if there was no global market crash in 1918, there is certainly no reason for us to panic and create one today.

We need to stop panicking, stoically let the virus run its course and keep working or we might suffer an economic depression.

i have begun wondering why militant conservatives who stockpile food and weapons in preparation for an upcoming civil war keep telling EVERYONE ELSE to STOP stockpiling supplies?

perhaps conservatives want YOU to buy 2 weeks supply of toilet paper why they take all the rest?

If treating Wall Street first is over reacting, then we certainly are.
A major part of the problem is that we under reacted a long time ago by not providing a civilized, modern health care system.
Obviously, money is more important than people.

Binary thinking. The situation at hand is not reliant on "all or nothing" responses. For example they haven't shut interstate or even interboro travel, they haven't called for all non-essential workers to stay home, they haven't applied a curfew yet.

Unless you expect a vaccine in the next 1-2 months you actually WANT some people to catch this, thus spreading out the curve of cases, both mundane and life threatening.

He was trying to calm the public by telling them they had nothing to worry about when they do? Now a week later and the recommendation by the CDC is to shut the country down more or less. You don't calm a country down by lying and being counterproductive to the information health experts are trying to convey. Is that Trump's fault? Of course it is.

Take your so called 'expertise' and shove it up your ass, it didn't help when you bought every word Trump told you and it's not helping now.
