Coronavirus Thread Political II

Do you have a link. My poor google skills have not found any evidence that CDC was ever on the security council.

Yes they do. Has been there since the moved from Cali 15 or so years ago. They brought it with them.

Depending how long the gyms are closed I might have to get me one.

Ahhhhhhh…that explains it. They’re from California. :sunglasses:

One the onewheel I’m riding? No one has died on or riding one I’m aware of. Broken collar bones, wrists, and screwed up knees a lot. I play it safe. Only paved roads and have a speedometer that an alarm goes off if I go over 10mph.

On January 14th World Heath Organization (WHO) doubted and discouraged the notion regarding human to human transmission. The all mighty, WHO, following China experts.

You good Bro, we will get through this. #wegotthisusa

Hey, fake cows produce fake greenhouse gases.

Media is going to drive the panic and we will be in full economic depression running stories like this 24/7 for ad clicks while ignoring any positive stories.

Wow they are pretty sick over there.

I wonder what the normal distribution of people with underlying conditions is.

Good question. Even better, which illnesses?

What do you suggest? Not report on the current event?

Not talk about the possibilities? Not everyone panics the same. We can’t not report news just because some people can’t handle it.

As long as they aren’t lying, I am ok with that type of reporting.

I’m going to give President Trump some credit here.

When the reporters were grilling the task force about when the 600 million masks they promised would be available and they kept waffling, he called them out for attempting to ■■■■■■■■ their way through an answer.

The media is supposed to report all is well and that an antimalaria drug and an anti bacterial antibiotic are going to save us all…and do so with out questioning. If they won’t do that they are thus creating panic.

And by January 23rd they had reversed that drastically. By January 23rd, US experts had already highlighted and molded NYC, Washington DC, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and LA were going to be the hardest hit because of community Transmission and people coming to the US from China and other Places. With that knowledge…the president should have closed down inter national arrivals back then.

Yet he IS running the country while you rant mindlessly on the internet denying actual science.

A very carefully controlled, well documented trial with 40 patients in France, peer reviewed and published this week showed 100% success with the drug. It has proven equally effective in at least three other small but less well controlled trials across the world.

You knew that wasn’t true when you posted it so what’s the point?

Chinese Corona Virus 19 for the win.

It is true.

:roll_eyes:

I don’t know I guess were looking at it differently. I personally I think the way South Korea reported it better they would tell their citizens to remain calm but diligent, that everything will be fine instead of running 24/7 sensationalism articles to freak people out and cause a massive panic.

Even at the height of the South Korean crisis when they acted more calm. People in the west have been advised not to rely on masks as they do not protect the mask-wearer that much; in Korea, however, people value the psychological reassurance that they are not just protecting themselves by wearing one but also the most vulnerable people around them.

From the Independent - In New York City, New Yorkers have run to grocery stores and stocked up on frozen and canned foods, disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizers. Oh, don’t forget toilet paper! Meanwhile, in Seoul, people are, overall, more calm and appear to be living their lives as usual — even in Daegu, the epicenter of the outbreak in Korea. Instead of panic-buying, people wait patiently in long lines to buy facial masks, which are now distributed by the government at some places.

Which one sounds better? Everything is sensationalized and made worse through the media as one of the most prominent experts on crime said on school shootings the media should downplay it because for everyone shooting they can expect 3 more copycats because of the sensationalism. Speak to people who come to our country from other countries they can’t stand our media.

No surprise, Americans are entitled little ■■■■■ by comparison. We generally can’t handle real struggle. Our poor are more wealthy than most of the world.

So literally any bad news has the potential to send our entitled asses into a panic. That doesn’t mean we constantly report news with kid gloves. Just don’t lie and remain calm.
