Coronavirus, comprehensive and updates discussion

[cato potatoe]

This is escalating at a frightening pace.  If the bureaucrats think they're going to quarantine 330 million people until next winter, they are about to be disappointed.

Rumors on Twitter that Denver is going to shut down everything, from schools to businesses. How the heck is that supposed to work? We're approaching total insanity.

I'm sure someone posted it, but now March Madness cancelled too.

Toilet paper was out at our local Sams Club and Kroger.

What makes people think gobs of toilet paper will help them if they get sick??

MORE than weird!!

The rationale behind that is that IF their city/county is hit hard with coronoa, having stocks of toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, etc., on hand will prevent them from having to go out when the virus is more widespread and putting them more at risk. It will enable them to isolate themselves and their families if necessary. 

We now have 3 cases in my county -- toilet paper, hand sanitizer, hand soap, bleach, alcohol, cold medicine, aspirin, ramen (sp?) noodles, soups, water, etc., are scarce.  I've never seen shelves so bare, even during hurricane season.

Well, so far the MSM and the DEMS have done a terrific job in promoting panic and mass hysteria.  My hunch is this will continue beyond the November election --- in hopes to keep people from voting.

   I'm set, as long as my X doesn't show up, my last 2 rolls should last me till mid April.

Just a friendly reminder, discuss the issues....off-topic talk or insults may be deleted.

I wonder if some of these sports events are closing down because of possible legal repercussions? I don't know if that is a concern but schools, sporting events, it's surreal, are closing down.  While, many consider everything to be an overreaction, maybe there is a liability issue. I'm not sure at all.

Satellite images of Iran show mass graves for coronavirus victims in the city with the first and most significant outbreak in the country, the Washington Post reported.

Qom, located 80 miles south of Iran’s capital Tehran, is where Iranian officials traced the origins of the country’s coronavirus outbreak that has infected over 9,000 people and killed more than 350, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Iranian officials reported 75 new deaths in 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 429 as of Thursday, according to Reuters.

These certainly, are the kinds of scenarios, we certainly don't want to see here.

So why can't a single crazy person doing warp 9+ in a Starship take out an entire planet by ramming it? That amount of mass going that speed has to be a planet killer. So inventing anything that can go warp speed is death to that civilization... Be it a navigation error or on purpose it will be destroyed...

Harris Faulkner Forced To Referee As Guests Square Off Over Coronavirus Response

Fox News host Harris Faulkner was forced to referee Thursday as an “Outnumbered Overtime” panel on Coronavirus went sideways.

Faulkner introduced her guests, prefacing the discussion with a call for civility. “Chris Plante, syndicated radio host. Ethan Bearman, host of Left Coast News. Chris, I’m going to start with you. Politics aside — and we are going to have to do that with COVID-19, we just are — what would you say is the main takeaway from what the administration has not done that Joe Biden says he would do?” (RELATED: Harris Faulkner Stops Former Clinton Advisor Cold: ‘You Hit The Race Button Pretty Early In The Hour’)

“Throw more money at the problem after we just threw $8.2 billion at the problem,” Plante replied. “And he said now we need to find out where the money is going. Look, in Washington there is this ridiculous game where whoever offers up the largest dollar figure cares the most.”

My younger sister read a suggestion that older people, avoid using the gym.

My wife just left for the gym, and I'm going later.

We are not going to live in fear.

Stay Calm, try to calm others. Wash your hands. Do not horde.

I'm considering driving over to Kennestone Hospital and shaking the hand of every patient in the place just to get it over with.

Don't be "frightened." It does absolutely nothing.

Following suggested procedures, minimizes risk.

I experienced the same thing with the local crack dealer.

Hand sanitizer is scarce.  Alcohol is scarce.  The next best thing is Vodka!

[skeeter]

Love the left - talking politics out of one side of their mouths and claiming to be above politics out of the other.

Ethan Bearman tried being a conservative talk show host here in the Bay Area a few years back. Did not last long.

[libertybele]

I read that!  It's NUTS!

I wouldn't think even the average Democrat would believe that we started the virus and then blamed them.

Oh, but you can bet your sweet bippy that the DEMS will find a way to convey this idea through the MSM, late night shows, etc.

Perhaps... if you offered up a mud-wrestling party instead....

Well, time to put some faith in this President and to start saying a few extra prayers for this country and its citizens.

One person's 'pull together for the sake of the country' is another person's 'group think'.

It obviously is one of those 'pull together' times. Not long ago we all would've agreed.
