So basically quit living your life? And guess what if it spreads as easily as this then just going to work or grocery store you could just as easily get it there to. It’d be a b*tch to quit living and still end up getting it anyways.
Just some facts about the flu this season. Between Oct 1st and February 29th. Numbers listed below.
CDC estimates*
Flu cases- 40 million (8 mil new cases on avg per month)
Medical visits- 20 million (4 mil on avg a month)
Hospitalization- 600k (120k on avg a month)
Deaths- 50k (10k on avg a month)
While COVID19 MAY end up having a higher mortality rate than the flu, do you realize how much the numbers would need to jump to reach the number of cases or deaths of that of the flu?
I’m not saying you shouldn’t take this virus serious or not to take precautions because everyone absolutely should, but that goes the same for the flu or just general overall good health and wellness as well. With all the other scary illnesses out there, this virus doesn’t call for everyone to stop living their life and the whole world to shutdown anymore than the hundreds or thousands of other things that can kill you.

I've defended Matt a lot on this site, but that tweet is ridiculous. Who is he that he knows whether it is shameful or not? He's just taking political shots with no real knowledge or insight.
I don’t think the CDC gets their numbers from Rupp’s Rafters. Their data come from actual test results. Regarding China, I don’t think their numbers had much to with the decision to bar fans from the SEC tournament.
You created an account just to try to rub it in peoples faces? You must be a bundle of joy to be around.
Yes? Nice attempt to turn this into a political pissing contest. Like every thing in politics, I can spin that true or false. Go piss somewhere else.
LOL, I stated a fact, directly quoted what he said. Stop crying and trying to deflect. Yall spent days minimizing this for political reasons calling it just the flu and a media creation, now you wanna talk about political pissing contest?
Typical fraud!
The numbers you are seeing in the Us are subject to major selection bias. We are only testing people with severe symptoms/those very sick for the most part. The vast majority of cases are mild, not tested/confirmed and aren’t part of these numbers. Testing is limited, so it’s not like we (I am an Emergency Medicine Physcian) are testing people with cold symptoms. People who come in with comorbid conditions who are fairly sick and everything else ruled out first, then we have to send a sample to the state and they decide if they test or not.
Really, stop crying because you can't defend the obvious lies. It must suck being a mindless sheep stuck in a no win situation.
Stop making this political! Downright criminal for Democratic supporters to even remotely try to turn or spin this for political advantage. Republicans Or democrats should never seek to do that in times of national crisis. But hey after what we've been through since 2016.... I'm not at all surprised by the sickos.
WOuld be awfully nice to have that Pandemic team at the NSC that Trump disbanded, or that 16% of the CDC funding that Trump took away, or the $3 billion for global health programs that Trump took away. Or the 80% of the CDC funding dedicated to fighting global pandemics that Trump slashed in 2018. Or the "Predict" program that Trump decided to discontinue that would monitor the threat of animal-born diseases that got transmitted to humans.
The measly number of tests the USA does have take at minimum 48 hours to get a 100% diagnosis (what Gobert got was a presumed positive diagnosis and that was only after several hours of taking the test) Meanwhile, in China they have tests that give you results within 29 minutes.
Shut up! Would be nice if you did not spend the last 3 years being a true threat to Democracy. Just stop! You people are really sick. It's all about politics & winning the next election.
And to drive home the threat you would vote for a man who probably has dementia to be president of the U.S. if it just means getting Trump out. Just...can't make it up.
Stop making this political ! It's the Democrats being political.
What a hypocrite. Actually it was Trump who fire the pandemic experts at the CDC. It was Trump who tried to cut funding to the CDC. It is Trump who claims to be the hugest bestest expert on this matter because its in his genes. It is Trump who has taken the worst course of action as far as public healthcare and preparation goes.
You're simply making this public health issue a political football because of the extremely poor performance by an extremely self-absorbed President is being exposed.

If you don't like facts then that sounds like a you problem not a politics problem.
Mindless sheep? Because I don’t get into a pissing contest with a guy in wet pants? I can argue both sides. Only itrolls with wet pants go down down that road. This is about numbers and the decisions affecting our sport. Now go change your urine soaked pants.
This is what South Korea has done. Their death rate is lower and the spread is reversing.
NIH's Fauci wishes Trump hadn't disbanded global health unit
Two years ago, Trump disbanded the White House's global health security unit. Today, Anthony Fauci suggested that wasn't a smart move.
Money making enterprises are shutting down due to a monumental threat and the Trumpsters here are saying look the other way. The levels of stupid that the cult of Trump resides in is is deep indeed.
I know yall only care about politics and not truth, but yall gotta quit repeating lies you heard on Facebook from other polititards.
- The Obama administration declared swine flu, or H1N1, a public health emergency six weeks before H1N1 was declared a pandemic.
- No H1N1 deaths had yet been recorded in the United States.
- Six months after that initial declaration, when more than 1,000 deaths had occurred, Obama himself declared H1N1 a national emergency again.
Yea. Are you that blind? No matter who would be in office right now they would NOT fully prepared for this. What country in the world has been so far? None!
The most practical action he took was to stop incoming flights from China & even then you sick baboons called him a racist for that.
You're just eat up! Step out of political world for once, be an American, be a human & work towards solutions instead of seeking how to score.
No. I just don’t care to go down that road and I suspect Keyser lacks the mathematical underpinnings for the discussion. He struggles with the simplicity of basketball rankings and this is orders of magnitude more complex.
Dude...HIN1 did not spread this fast & become a pandemic at record pace.
Folks need to quit bashing Obama & Trump. You cannot prepare for situations like this effectively. So when it occurs you pray for your leaders & not bash....no matter which party is in control.
But comparing HIN1 & actions with that versus this coronavirus is like comparing mud puddles to the ocean.
I'm not bashing Obama or Trump for a global pandemic. No president can stop it, my issue is the reaction to it. Stop lying and saying anyone who needs a test can get a test, stop calling it a.media creation, and stop minimizing it.
Your completely wrong. Stopping people from coming into this country wasn't what happened at the beginning now is it. Even the health workers weren't properly equip to handle that and still you come on here and deny facts along with the impotent namecalling. I am one of many people who criticized the moves to de-fund the CDC as well as other public health organizations especially the very ones we needed before this pandemic and now that one is here. You are simply trying to blow chaff in the air to hide the extreme incompetence of the boob in the White House. Hell the guy is lying today to the American public.
He is not minimizing. It is the job of the President to limit panic. It's a hard line to follow. Talk about the reality of this not being the death plague & folks call it minimizing. Talk about the seriousness of it & folks will call it creating excessive fears. It's hard on media & everyone to keep the balance.
You're sick. Feel sorry for you. I did not care for Obama at all but supported him, prayed for him. He was not perfect, did some really dumb things, did some good things also...but he was my president.
I guess it's too much to ask folks to be Americans anymore. Blinded by emotions, & cannot see the good & bad....just good or bad. That's what it is now to view Presidents.
