Calm Down, Breathe Through Your Nose - Covid19 NO BIG DEAL

That's assuming that I even give one shit about what you are talking about.

Maybe just my opinion but this is what the bad orange man does to people.  It will take a long time before he has earned my trust in his leadership, but I don't doubt he is trying to do the best he can, and is capable of more.

"Bad orange man."  Everything is his fault, isn't it.  When Leftists are hateful and malicious, HE did it.
This was why I put you on ignore earlier - your vile cynicism.  It poisons everything.  Ah but YOU'RE not a Leftist.  You just talk like one.

@DeerSlayer I agree I'm a cynic, but did you see where I optimistically said President Trump "is trying to do the best he can, and is capable of more."   I will also admit I think there is plenty of blame for politicians who refuse to condemn corruption within their party, and voters who are incapable of questioning their beliefs because their protective media bubble reinforces their programing.  happy?

Latest update:

1.8% fatality rate in U.S. based on confirmed cases. The total number is undoubtedly much higher since many infected with the virus are asymptomatic or don't feel ill enough to see a doctor.

In my home county, 4 deaths in the population of  3.2 million.  Cars are much more deadly.  So is heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and accidents.

Equating the parties is a favorite tactic of the Democrats.  When they lie through their teeth, they excuse it with "Everybody does it."  When Bush quoted the CIA Director that WMDs in Iraq are "a slam dunk," Bush was reviled as a liar.  "Bush lied an people died."  No, Bush did NOT lie.  There are plenty of videos showing Democrats saying Iraq had WMDs.  All of the Dems agreed UNTIL Bush said it. Same with Trump and the wall.  You sound like  them.

I know its easy to toss this issue aside, but the U.S. is just starting to deal with this virus.  It isn't contained, nor has it be eradicated and it doesn't look like it's going to go away with warmer weather.  It spreads easily and very quickly.

You don't have a clue who I am.   I proudly voted for Dubya twice and have never regretted it, and I believe he is the greatest President of my life time.  Did you mistake me for @sneakypete ? or perhaps President Birther?

When you say rats suck, I agree and they are half the problem with this country.

More cases asymptomatic or mild, don't increase the fatality rate, they decrease it.

(deaths/Total cases)*100=% mortality

   To be honest, both of you make, even me, wonder who the Fck I am and what the he11 am I doing here, at times. 
   That's a good thing.

NOBODY is "tossing this issue aside."  NOBODY. 
The problem is that too many people are inciting panic which is foolish and destructive.

You're part of that problem.

You win the dumbest post

So ... exactly how am I inciting panic?? 

[musiclady]

[ChemEngrMBA]

The most recent graph and data from CDC continues to express my views that this panic has been overblown by Fake News, Trump Haters, and those who claim to be Republicans but act otherwise, e.g. Member Name Redacted.

[corbe]

   I thing there's more Conservatives here than Republicans, @DeerSlayer   /JS

I have to explain it?  YOUR WORDS:

"I know its easy to toss this issue aside, but the U.S. is just starting to deal with this virus.  It isn't contained, nor has it be eradicated and it doesn't look like it's going to go away with warmer weather.  It spreads easily and very quickly."

I repeat, NOBODY "tossed this issue aside."  NOBODY. Your words ring very false and very hollow.

I'm glad you revived this story @DeerSlayer on March 12th when you started "Calm Down, Breathe Through Your Nose - Covid19 NO BIG DEAL" the US death toll was 41. 
When it became too embarrassing for many others to post on it at April 4th the US death toll was at 8469. 
15 days later we will hit 40K.

so thanx.

You are correct in that NO ONE anticipated the level of incompetence (best case) or willingness to sacrifice New Yorkers for the sake of political gain (worst case) found in New York City and the surrounding counties (collateral damage).

Only those consumed with lust for power and hate for their opponents would ever consider using their positions to spread misinformation in the midst of an unknown epidemic.

While others were attempting to quell panic, these politicians encouraged the very sort of behaviour through misinformation, lies, and encouragement of behaviour which would guarantee that those they allegedly represent would spread any disease among themselves at a high rate, and they succeeded beyond all expectations. They assured people that the disease was not contagious, parroting the WHO and the CCP, and in defiance (their words) of the emerging pandemic encouraged people to gather in large numbers to 'prove' they were not "prejudiced".

"Hate" that, willya?

By itself, downstate New York has the highest rate of infections per million population of any country in the world. A situation which is almost guaranteed to cause panic, and a high mortality rate, all other social and population density factors considered. The rest of the United States put together doesn't make the top ten. Now, why would that be?

Perhaps if the governor (with zero medical training) had not issued a statewide "no hydroxychoroquine-zinc treatments allowed" order, the death rate wouldn't be as high.
