What am I missing about this???

Yep.

Doesn't it alarm you that fascist governments are using this manufacture "epidemic" that has affected statistically no one to quarantine whole cities and pen people up like cattle? Doesn't that kind of iron fisted control bother you at all?

She’s not smart enough to grasp your points..

What precisely is your objection? This lies squarely in your comfort zone of leftist authoritarian proclivity.

Always right to the hysterics, so Italy is a fascist government?

I’m alarmed that there are ICU beds being set up in hallways, I’m alarmed that barely anyone in this country has been tested, and I’m alarmed that we have a cruise ship full of American citizens off of CA and the president said he wants to keep them there to “keep the numbers low”.

Italy Moving To Chinese-Style Quarantine Of Over 25% Of Its Population


“The Italian government is locking down 17 million people—more than a quarter of its population—including in Milan, the surrounding Lombardy region and 14 neighboring provinces, in the most sweeping steps any European country has prepared to take against the coronavirus epidemic,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “Police, emergency services and if needed the army will be available to enforce the quarantine. People violating the lockdown can be punished with a fine or jail terms, according to the draft decree.”

Uninsured??? What uninsured? Obama took care of that, there are NO uninsured Americans anymore isn't there??

I know you're being facetious, but it wasn't long after the rollout of Obamadon'tcare that it was discovered that there were just as many uninsured after the implementation as there were before. It's just that the uninsured were redistributed from people who had coverage and could no longer afford it (or were kicked off their plans) to those who used to be not covered.

So, like 1,000 people have died worldwide of coronavirus....and somehow that makes it an epidemic of catastrophic proportions.

For perspective, 10,000 people have died of the boring normal flu so far this year in just the US.

Does anyone besides me feel manipulated and controlled? I need to come up with a scheme to make money off the hysterics....

Well, that, and crash the world-wide markets while blaming Trump.

Please tell me you are joking.

Over 200 people are coming to the ER daily, needing 200 beds, beds that haven’t been opened by anyone recovering



this illness is decimating the over 65 population... guess this is about to take care of our Social Security, Medicare, long term/nursing home care, and housing problem (lots of empty homes about to enter the market in a year or so).

I was wondering who was getting caught up in the media fueled hysteria and buying up all the dust masks.

Wow. Trump doesn't want the Grand Princess to dock in Cali because those people would have to be added to the domestic coronavirus numbers. He likes the number where they are.

"I like the numbers being where they are. I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault," Trump said in a Fox News interview.

You believe what you want to, in the meantime I believe that he doesn';t want to have the number of people in this country who are infected doubled because he lets the ship come ashore with infected people on it. People who would spread that virus.

No. It was clear what he said. I realize you have a duty to defend his poor behavior but his words were clear.

This is the same reason test kits aren't available in wide numbers. Number of infections can't go up if no one can be tested.

This is the containment strategy.

Wake me please when the death rate climbs to 20% until then its all just a non event .

It’s like trying hold back an ocean....and WTH does “our fault” mean when he said that in the interview? Are hurricanes our fault? Earthquakes?

Truby, this is a serious question.

Let us say this was a 'natural borne' virus and it decimates vulnerable clusters of the world's population. What does anyone expect could be done to prevent it from happening? It is widely spread to others before the infected even know they are infected, there is no preventative, no specific treatment, no cure. No amount of money thrown at it will make it go away or stop it from spreading. No government body, legislation, or mandates can stop it.

What does anyone expect to be done that would stop this from happening? I can think of nothing.
