Keep living in your fantasy land. The main stream media has made such a big issue out of this to tank the economy. They will do anything to take down trump even if it means making the majority of us lose all our 401K funds. When warm weather comes the coronovirus will be in the rear view mirror and we will all be poorer for it.

I’m as conservative as anyone. I grew up in KY but I live in NYC and Miami. I have a pretty good read on what’s political and reality so I’ll let you believe what you want. This, like anything can be politicized on both sides, but certainly not a real advantage to anyone. Facts are facts. Denial is your choice. I hope it slows as it warms up. The spread in Brazil and Australia would say that’s not as likely as you hope. I guess the entire world is creating this because you think it hurts a candidate or fits an agenda. Of course the press over does it like they do everything, but that doesn’t mean it’s not real or the threat is a hoax. The truth is always in the middle, but you keep your head in the sand and hopefully this doesn’t impact anyone you care about.
And the 12,000 deaths from flu are in spite of a vaccine that is readily available. So far, there is no vaccine for Coronavirus, but even so, not nearly the deaths. Flu is a much larger threat. My Dad died from it, 3 years ago, this month.
Viruses don't have treatment. You can treat the symptoms but not the Virus itself. Covid-19 is no different, simply a new strain of a known virus. Stop drinking the Kool-aid. In the past 20 years weve had 10+ simlar scares, what happened with those? They are unheard of know. Panic isn't called for, nor is being overly cautious. Live your life like normal, wash your hands like you should anyway. Ever think maybe you don't get it?
My head is not in the sand. I realize the virus is a threat and not a hoax. What is a hoax is how the main stream media is continuing to blow it up to tank the economy. They hate Trump and will do anything to take down Trump. Even the night show hosts are stating they wished the economy would tank so Trump will not get reelected. In other words we don't care if the average person loses all their savings as long as Trump doesn't get reelected. What a country. Screw everyone as long as I get what I want.
Have you ever heard of a chest cold that puts 20% of people in the hospital? Do you have any conception of how horrifically bad a 20% hospitalization rate is for someone as contagious as the common cold?
Is the entire world in on the hoax? China locked down a city the size of LA for two months to tank the US economy and hurt Trump? Italy locked down their entire country, canceled all meetings and conferences and sports games and weddings and funerals to tank the US economy and hurt Trump? Stop being blinded by politics.
1-Windmills cause cancer
2-Global warming is a hoax invented by the Chinese
3-The mainstream media is largely responsible for the worldwide Corona pandemic
4-Donald is smarter than his generals and knows more than the scientists, being a very stable genius and all.
5- We're in good hands!

This post was perfectly executed and deserves special recognition. Glad I was not taking a drink when I read this.
Brilliant! Thanks for enlightening the group with your riveting and well thought out contributions to the discussion. It’s good to know we can still get fans from all walks of life and educational backgrounds.
20% of who? They just started mass distributing the test for Covid-19 in the last few days. Prior to that, the people going to the hospital were the ones in bad shape. It's an artificially inflated number.
Wasn't trying to be a champion of Tamiflu. I was only saying that something exists which is considered a treatment (even if not great and not a cure) for the flu. Plus there are vaccines. So a couple of options (even if not perfect) exist for that while it's too early for there to be anything for COVID-19 yet. If they keep working on it, obviously that will change in a year or so.
I was responding to someone who quoted a doctor saying "only 20% require hospitalization."
Yeah, due to uncounted cases it's probably a lot lower than that. But in the places this has spread uncontrolled, hospitals have quickly filled beyond capacity. If the real number is 5% (guessing based on South Korea's fatality rate being about 1/4 of other places, and them testing EVERYBODY), and 10 million people catch it... that's half a million people hospitalized.
Ok, enough, that is arrogance hiding behind ignorance. Saying its the same basic virus as the cold is like saying MRSA is just another staph infection, no difference.

6- You can go to work with it.
And
Mike Pence will pray it away
Or go see Ben Carson for treatment.But no matter the jokes, or those who like to see conspiracies, or deny reality, I sure hope that the games are played and with fans. If people going to games, restaurants, concerts, or other public events just pay a little attention to preventitive measures they will be fine.
Dr. Drew huh? Thanks but I'll take my info from the CDC, WHO and Dr. Fauci. Dr. Drew is a basic physician on tv.
If you’re not traveling, I’m not traveling.
Unless it’s to a Reds/Cards game. Those tix are worth Corona :smiley:
For risky stuff like work I’m not as much, for important things like those I’m in!If you’re not traveling, I’m not traveling.

Some of you kill me.
Tucker Carlson is sounding the alarm on Corona WORSE than anyone on any other network.
Fox is saying this will touch someone you know eventually. They’re calling it a PANDEMIC.
At some point a few of you need to actually watch Fox News. Most politicians left of middle and right hate Fox becuase they have real hard news anchors like Wallace and Baier and they don’t want to answer real questions when CNN and MSNBC have their talking points covered. The opinion shows are conservative. But they call them OPINION shows. It’s the only network that has them from the conservative side. CNN and MSNBC call their opinion leftist shows “hard news”. It’s a damn joke. Take Biden for example. Politics aside, he has dementia. It’s clear to anyone who can think with a half brain. But CNN and MSNBC won’t touch it. Fox will cover it. They covered Bush family issues in 2008 having to do with Iraq. They’ve covered real news on Clinton’s rape. They covered Trump’s sexual hardassment claims and asked him during Fox debates.
some of you just don’t know what real news is anymore becuase most of the MSM has your team covered.
It’s incredible how stupid people are when it comes to Fox News.

Exactly, People in charge of public/private organizations, etc, close schools,etc, in a response to public out-cry in order to show thye are "doing something" and not be accussed of not caring for the well-being of their students / citizens / (get re-elected). The majority of the time it is a "cover your A**" decision and not an actual indication of the seriousness.
The stats say it isn't any more serious than Swine, SARS, Zika, Avian (all in election years) or even the yearly flu (vaccinations are for known strands, new strands occur every year); but the media blew this thing into a frenzy and got the public in panic mode to where people are being forced to make decisions to try to calm the public.
**Almost every election year there is some "pandemic"
Doesn’t matter if Hep C isn’t coronavirus.
You accused a poster of spreading misinformation and followed it up the blanket statement that “viruses don’t have treatments.” That’s simply not a true statement and the point of me bringing up Gilead was to highlight the fact that your statement was not at all accurate.
Antivirals are an entire class of drugs that are treatments for viruses.
Ila cold and flu are both coronavirus. This is just a new one which is why it was called novel.
This isn't as bad as sars or mers.
Why do you feel the need to panic? Worse why do you feel the need to urge panic on others?

Here's another - along with Dr. Drew - quoting the importance of doing as Dr. Fauci recommends. Do as these two say and you'll be following CDC and Dr. Fauci guidelines, just as in the previous video.
My issue with Drew is his underselling of the problem, that part is not in sync with Fauci and the others. The basic precautions are the same. I can't stand Oz.
