After all the douchy stuff you have instigated here over the years, you gotta' be a special kind of sh!tstain to think you could get away with commenting on the behavior of a single person here or elsewhere.
GFY.

Yeah, because we all remember how respectful you and other Americans here were of President Obama!
Years after he was no longer on the job, even.
You're too stupid to be giving "advice".

As I asked before. Did you even bother to read the article? I guessing not. When you are making decisions of this magnitude and with consequences that can even be deadly, you need to have accurate information. To have something that gives you wrong data can screw everything up. You end up over reacting, if the predictions are way too excessive. Which is what this article is talking about. There are consequences for everyone if the data you are using is wrong. Why not fix the data instead of continuing to push wrong data?
And it can have unintended or even intended consequences that hurt people and the economy. And hurting the economy can cost lives too.
It is obvious that the media has you running scared, but I am sure that is the intent of the media. They certainly get more hits online or are able to get you to watch their "news" shows more often. That is money in the hand for them. And if you don't think that money is an issue, then you are a fool.
Along with that the main stream media has another objective. That is to hurt Trump. While you might not see it because of your own bias it is certainly there. They have shown that they will do anything, and I do mean anything to hurt Trump. But, most people understand that they are that biased. And they are reacting to what President Trump has actually done. He was proactive in shutting down the borders of the US to Chinese travel. He is certainly way ahead of any other country in doing what needs to be done. Yet, still we have partisanship by the Democrats to do anything they can to hurt Trump even if it hurts the American people. Like trying to put in poison pills in the economic recovery bill. Do you really believe that Pelosi or any of the other Dems really think that funding PBS or the Arts really has anything to do with the Corona Virus crisis? They held up the bill as long as they could to try to hurt the economy, and it did work. The economy reacted to their foolishness by as shown by the dropping of the Dow and other indices by about 1/3. Funny thing though now that the bill appears to have been passed the Dow reacted to the good news by going up $3,000 in the last two days and the last I heard today it was up over $1,000.
The sooner we get over the hump and back to work the better. There will certainly be people who die due to this virus. But, who do you blame? President Trump who has been up front and ahead of the curve, or maybe you should look at China, who lied and let this get out of hand there before it went worldwide. This country has lost people to the flu for almost all of its existence. Even this year there are 10's of thousands who lost their lives to the regular flu. Not too long about we had a different strain of flu virus that took, I believe over 69,000 lives. Yet, we never shut down the economy, like we have done with this one. Even yet I still agree that shutting down the economy and restricting travel and telling people that they need to stay home and isolate is the right choice with this particular virus, we also need to understand that the economy has to run or we will be in a free fall to a depression. If we can level out the number of cases or the rate of change of increase so that our hospitals can handle the overload we can make it through this.
Our president has been up front and proactive on doing all of these things and is looking to bring the economy back up as soon as is reasonable. Sniping by the media and the left does nothing to help the people of this country. And it is showing that the people don't want any of this discord. The only main stream Democrat that has been reasonable, so far, has been Governor Cuomo from NY. He for the most part has been working with president Trump with a minimum of sniping. And that shows in the response of the people of this country by his ratings going up and now there is a push for him to be put on the Democratic ballot for president. You see the American people as a whole can't be fooled by partisan politics.

I find it interesting that the online weather services now include a Coronavirus map. But, I am puzzled as to why the very sparsely populated Apache county has the same number of cases as the densely populated Maricopa county.

Mark, you mistake me for someone with a political agenda, such as your own. I don't "root" for any ideology. You're so self-centered on American politics, that you don't seem to comprehend that a global response is required to subdue this pandemic. It's not all about Trump.

Poor little Tony... always the victim.  You enter a thread, mouth off with your usual BS, and then pout when you get a response. Any "hate" you receive is justly deserved. Perhaps you should go sit for awhile in one of those "cry closets" you're always offering to build for people you love to ridicule here. Get some help Tony, before you go completely over the edge.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 03-26-2020).]

Perhaps during the next world pandemic you will be more kind to your fellow members? Stay safe.[This message has been edited by Tony Kania (edited 03-26-2020).]

Yeah! Right! No political agenda! Sorry, I don't believe you at all.
And why would I not focus on America. What we do will help the whole world.

And here is an article that kind of highlights what the article I posted before had to say. Huge difference between 500K deaths and 20K or less. While 20K is nothing to sneeze at it has to be looked at in the context of how many deaths are due to the normal flu and our response to that. And do we shut down the world because of the normal flu. Or is the trend now to shut down the world because someone might possibly die? If so do we quit driving cars? Or flying on airplanes? Or doing anything? And what would be the cost in lives if we just shut down the economy? If you think that won't end up costing lives, you have no idea of how the world works.

Just because you happen to be totally preoccupied with politics doesn't mean everyone else on the planet is. I think you're still sore because 14 days ago I asked you Here to quit the blame game. Let it go, man. It wasn't meant as a personal affront.

Oh... maybe because there's a whole wide world out there.

Great. In the meantime the rest of us will just have to stumble along.
