Disgusting @Smokin Joe . 
Forgive my memory, but you're one of the Briefers who thinks this is a hoax right? Do you care at all about high body counts?
I have never called it a hoax. Never. I initially said the panic will be more destructive than the disease.
Millions out of work, and outside of NYC and the immediate environs, the rest of the country doesn't even come in in the top ten death rates (deaths/million people). NYC was criminally mismanaged, before and during this outbreak (supplies which shold have been on hand had never been replaced, and there had been years to do that, and then people were encouraged to show they harbored no prejudices and go stand in crowds and infect each other)
Yes, I care. I also care about the twenty million people who are out of work, and the innumerable folks who will lose all they have because of shutdowns based on the mismanagement in New York and the panic which has ensued.
I don't mind laying the blame on the doorsteps it belongs on, but I take no joy in the political pandering that I believe has led to the needless deaths of thousands, and I don't much cotton to inflating the statistics for political purposes by the very people who bleep up.
FYI, I have been Fire/EMS, and brother firefighters and EMS people are out there daily risking their lives because politicians were and are trying to score points on the POTUS.
I can't say what I think of those politicians on this board, nor their fellow travelers.
No genteel verbiage will suffice to express my level of contempt.
