Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Who wants any disease or illness?

Most people dont like going to war, but men did it, because the alternative was worse. Are there any men left?

I don’t think sports equates to war, JMO. This is more about controlling the spread and if you can’t see that then I don’t know what else to say. If I catch it I’m not worrying about dying but if I’ve been around my 70 year old dad with COPD then it becomes a problem. It’s not like there’s immediate onset of symptoms and nobody knows if someone can be a carrier with no symptoms yet.
 
Russia and Saudi Arabia announcing they will begin increasing oil production combined with less demand from China is not fn good.

I just realized Beavis and Butthead correctly predicted the national toilet paper shortage years ago.

why? We do with other illnesses that are mild in nature.... everyone that is not at risk should be living their life like normal..... show symptoms and get quarantined....... everyone at risk should be staying at home limiting human contact as much as possible..... you can have groceries delivered or pick it up..... same with medicines..... face time family and friends.... it’s really not that complicated..... we only have one life to live and none of us get out a lot.... I want to live my life to the fullest and would hate to think that I had put in the work that these athletes have done...... only to have it taken away from them bc of this overreaction.

Curious as to how many other folks it’s ok to infect before those symptoms started to show and the quarantine occurred?

We are on the verge of turning this country into depression era America. So in that sense it does.

People made sacrifices to benefit this country so many times in the past.

When given a chance, the country's athletes folded like chairs. Instead of playing, knowing some would get sick, they chose not to. The sick ones beating it would have sent a message to the psyche of this nation. Instead they sent the message of run. And markets are tanking.

Meanwhile, millions of factory workers will go to work tomorrow. Many producing non essential goods. They are fighting for their and their families' survival.
 
Like Pelosi adding taxpayer funded abortions to the Coronavirus bill.

GOP delays coronavirus bill in part over concerns about abortion
"The White House believes provisions in the Pelosi bill that pertain to the Violence Against Women Act could open the door to federal funds for abortion," the network reported." In response, the White House wants to add Hyde Amendment language to the bill — restricting the use of federal funds for abortion."

So, what is the actual truth here? Did Pelosi request funds for taxpayer funded abortions, or are the Republicans afraid it could somehow be used that way?
 
Regarding the politics of this I have figured out what bothers me so much about Trump seeking so much praise for the China travel ban back in January.

The purpose of that ban would be to buy time. So we bought some time, but we did NOTHING with it. To the contrary, Trump kept minimizing it. And then the tests got screwed up.

If the ban on travel to and from China was because Trump and the administration recognized the threat, then why was it screwed up so badly afterwards?

Smh.....

People carry and transmit the virus before ever showing symptoms. Especially the young and healthy.

I’ve seen both sides pointing the finger. Somebody is lying.

R’s saying Pelosi inserted language to federally fund abortion outside of the Hyde amendment.

D’s saying it was the GOP that inserted language about the Hyde amendment.

The bill should be limited completely to Coronavirus efforts imo.
 
Yes and that happens with every disease imaginable..... do we shut down the world and place ourselves in a bubble?
This is a new and novel virus.
It spreads incredibly quickly.
It has a comparably high mortality rate.
We still don’t understand a great deal.

This is not just another case of the Flu.
