Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[OHvol40]

Not this strain

Lol there are lots of strains

 

[NEVolFan]

You know what the Zika Virus is called? The Zika Virus.
You know what the Spanish flu is called? The Spanish flu.
You know what the Asian flu is called? The Asian flu.
You know what the Chinese virus is called? COVID-19.
But it doesn't matter. It's Trump being Trump and Trumpers covering.

You can rest easy... Trump got this. He laid out the plan for you and me to stay healthy... try not to be so obstinate that you go out and lick a toilet seat. Let it goooo.

 

[GhostVol]

Forgot to say.... YES this is the Wuhan Virus... started there, so the name if fitting, and serves as a historical notation for future reference. A common sense application to a serious disease such as this.

Yeah.... That's productive.

Let's argue about what to call the thing.

Idiots.

 

[0nelilreb]

Who was offended? I believe all I said was it was Trump being Trump. Anything else would have been a shocker.

There’s lots of offended people over it . I’d also argue that if you weren’t , you wouldn’t have told us to call it what it is , instead of it’s other names .

 

[Weezer]

I’d like to believe you but I don’t , your posting history and irrational hatred of Trump say otherwise.

I kinda feel the same. I want to believe him, but he has a history of delusion and irrationality.

 

[RavinDave]

I did not know that.

 

[luthervol]

The only way it will ever change is if folks can back down and give their opposition credit when they do something right, and criticize their own when they f*** up. That goes for the Right and Left.

I hope we can all get back to that point again.

You know , for a left leaning commie cat owner , I admire your fortitude. You mean like that ?

 

[allvol123]

There isn’t a lack of economic consideration, it’s called prioritization.

Yes there is. People are foolishly believing they're going to just government magic bullet the economy.

 

[Rifleman]

You’re right. The POTUS isn’t leading in the midst of a global pandemic. You’re right. He didn’t ban travel from China and he didn’t appoint a task force or bring together industry heads to produce a vaccine among other things. Nope. None of it. You’re nuts.

He stood at the podium 3 weeks ago and said we had 15 cases and it would soon go to zero and declared victory while doing nothing to expand the testing that would have allowed us to get ahead of the curve.

 

[vols40]

I hope we can all get back to that point again.

No you don't.

 

[DynaLo]

I might not choose to vote republican, but there’s not a virus known or unknown to mankind that would ever cause me to vote for a democrat.

Scrolling the coronavirus hashtag on twitter, the sheer lunacy displayed and their bitter hatred for anyone not in lockstep with their thoughts and views is palpable.

 

[OHvol40]

If you think this virus is more damaging than the economic consequences long term then you are a true 47%er

That’s what happens in crises, you deal with the immediate threat, then the consequences. Nobody cares if you’re ok with sacrificing lives to the virus for financial purposes, most decent people are not.

 

[0nelilreb]

Well, that's the last straw

LOL so this is what they are finally worried about catching ?????

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Yeah.... That's productive.

Let's argue about what to call the thing.

Idiots.

Exactly. Who gives a rat's rear end what we call it? Our focus should be directed towards flattening the curve, not towards arguing what to call it.

 

[vols40]

He stood at the podium 3 weeks ago and said we had 15 cases and it would soon go to zero and declared victory while doing nothing to expand the testing that would have allowed us to get ahead of the curve.

Still waiting for the body count to go up. Classy

 

[OHvol40]

So you’re saying this particular virus isn’t new? The flu has been around since the 1500s (from Asia of course) and they give us a new variety every couple years.

No I didn’t say that. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses, just like influenza. That doesn’t mean a new member of the family isn’t in that family.

 

[McDad]

Well, that's the last straw

Worried about spreading jungle fever.

 

[OHvol40]

No we arent

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

 

[FLVOL69]

He stood at the podium 3 weeks ago and said we had 15 cases and it would soon go to zero and declared victory while doing nothing to expand the testing that would have allowed us to get ahead of the curve.

Testing is useless if you’re not showing symptoms. Maybe he should have predicted more doom and gloom.

 

[GhostVol]

Well, that's the last straw

 

[Hunerwadel]

True. And there are few more guilty than I am.
That was true from day one and every attempt I've made to change my stance has been a colossal failure.
I do bite my tongue in public and try to play nice.

So do most Liberals and Trumpites most of the time. It just shows what is bubbling under the surface.

 

[C-south]

No I didn’t say that. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses, just like influenza. That doesn’t mean a new member of the family isn’t in that family.

I’m pretty sure most people were already aware of that.

 

[allvol123]

That’s what happens in crises, you deal with the immediate threat, then the consequences. Nobody cares if you’re ok with sacrificing lives to the virus for financial purposes, most decent people are not.

This is plain idiotic. Every society absolutely has a bar of what they are willing to accept. We do it all the time.

We effing accept people will die everyday in car accidents but still choose to drive because it benefits the vast majority of our lives.

Twitter is a cesspool and not real life. I follow very few people on there, and am happier for it.
