No just when there is a once in a 100 year pandemic. Deal?
Are you referring to the Spanish Flu? I hope not because best guess is that killed over 50M people. This isn't even in the same breath as that one, although they sure want to treat it like that rather than just admit that we can't save everyone.

Is this really the level of intelligence here, post a picture and then giggle about it, and you call Trump supporters uneducated bumpkins, pot meet kettle.

You’re quite ignorant to reality. 100,000 dead in the US with massive lockdowns and social distancing compared to less than half of that for a regular flu season with no precautions. Yeah nothing to see here.
You misunderstand, if we didn't have flu vaccines the death rates would be the same, this is just a flu with no vaccine.

Do you want stop the world every time we have a flu with no vaccine?
Might as well just throw in the towel now then.

Talk about crazy conspiracy theories, the Democrats are already lining up the excuses should they lose this fall, which seems unlikely but you can never under-estimate just how bad the Dems can ****** defeat from the jaws of victory,

Pathetic, time for the world to stand up to China and these tactics, Canada could start with Meng situation and getting the Mikes back.

About time they shone a light on this, as Ford said too in Ontario these homes could face criminal charges. We can thank the Liberals for doing away with government inspections of these facilities. Unlike Cuomo in NY who gave them all immunity from prosecution in return for campaign contributions.

What a POS,
QuoteNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who signed legislation granting hospital and nursing home executives immunity from lawsuits related to the novel coronavirus last month, previously received a big-money boost from a powerful health care industry group, according to a new report.
The Guardian reports that the New York State Democratic Committee, then backing Cuomo’s primary run in 2018, received more than $1 million from the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) -- a lobbying group for hospital systems, some of which own nursing homes.

Imagine thinking this. Imagine being so in love with some one like Donald trump that it warps your view of reality to the extent you’re still trying to say governments over reacted to covid.
Whatever, if you think covid is a big deal go right ahead, it's a flu with no vaccine that kills less than .05% of the old and sick, stop the world...….instead of just protecting the old and sick, which they have failed to do on a massive scale, which is now coming out, that at least will be something good.

What that you are posting an editorialized article as if it were fact? You're right no surprise.
Sure, if you consider study by Mercatus Center at George Mason University to be an editorial, come on man, you are supposed to be scientist.

Read this and then tell me that he is wrong, a Doctor and Harvard Medical Instructor, then go give your heads a shake.
QuoteThis all suggests that COVID-19 is a relatively benign disease for most young people, and a potentially devastating one for the old and chronically ill, albeit not nearly as risky as reported. Given the low mortality rate among younger patients with coronavirus—zero in children 10 or younger among hundreds of cases in China, and 0.2-0.4 percent in most healthy nongeriatric adults (and this is still before accounting for what is likely to be a high number of undetected asymptomatic cases)—we need to divert our focus away from worrying about preventing systemic spread among healthy people—which is likely either inevitable, or out of our control—and commit most if not all of our resources toward protecting those truly at risk of developing critical illness and even death: everyone over 70, and people who are already at higher risk from this kind of virus.
This still largely comes down to hygiene and isolation. But in particular, we need to focus on the right people and the right places. Nursing homes, not schools. Hospitals, not planes. We need to up the hygienic and isolation ante primarily around the subset of people who can’t simply contract SARS-CoV-2 and ride it out the way healthy people should be able to.
Common frickin sense people, get a grip on it.

I was just thinking this morning that it was really nice the crazy people hadn't been posting in here for awhile...... spoke too soon.
You can't provide anything to back up your wild statement that this is somehow a threat to humanity, yes I 'd call that crazy talk alright.

There’s also that scenario that if it weren’t for all that spending, there would be less generations who would have to pay for it.
Literally, I was posting this very thought..^
Well you better sit down and rethink that.

They over reacted and continue to do so. Lethality of the disease isn't even worth discussing, never mind a threat to humanity, give your head a shake.

Keep spending, the money never ends. God I feel sorry for the generations that are going to have to pay for this.

Richard Grenell has declassified a new batch of Russia probe documents on his way out as acting director of national intelligence, leaving the decision on whether to make those files public up to newly sworn-in Director John Ratcliffe.
The documents include transcripts of phone calls that then-incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak had in December 2016, during the presidential transition period. Grenell said publicly last week that he was in the process of declassifying those files, after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., asked that he do so.
Fox News has learned that the declassification review of those transcripts is now complete, and it will be left up to Ratcliffe on whether to release them publicly.
Fox News has learned that Grenell also completed the declassification review of other documents related to the origins of the Russia probe — including one that a senior intelligence official told Fox News was “very significant in understanding how intelligence was manipulated to support launching the Russia investigation.”
This is going to be good.

therapy not cure AND you are neglecting the scientists who said the risks associated with taking the drug did not outweigh potential benefits, ie. it is linked to heart problems.
So yeah there might be some science that says it can help with the symptoms but there's also negatives associated with it and it isn't really recommended as a treatment, and it's certainly no kind of preventative measure.
Trump would probably die if he contracted the virus, so in his case, it's probably worth the risks. Same goes for all the elderly, when the alternative is a death sentence.

Not according to some, according to some it is going to wipe out generations.
