'I think I'll go and kiss it goodbye.' Donald Trump announces trip to Norfolk Saturday as Navy hospital ship Comfort sets sail to relieve New York's overwhelmed hospitals

President Trump said Thursday that he planned to 'kiss' the USNS Comfort goodbye as it sets sail for New York City to aid the city with the coronavirus crisis.

'I think I'm going to go out and, I'll kiss it goodbye, I'll go to - it's in Virginia as you know, and I will go and we'll be waving together, because I suspect the media will be following,' Trump told reporters at the White House briefing.

Several moments after the president made the comments, the White House announced that he was serious and would travel to the Norfolk Naval Station on Saturday to 'bid bon voyage to the hospital ship,' a release to the press said.

Does he think it's going to sink or something?

The fact that a backward state like AL can figure out remote learning while the richest and most educated county is TN cannot is nothing short of shameful.

Williamson County is probably one the worst run and corrupt counties in the state. Shelby and Sumner are right there in competition.

I question the "most educated" title. I mean, it houses at least one known Bama fan. That has to lower the average.

You actually pay them to use their card? I never have understood why anyone would do that. I prefer to pay off my balance each month. It's an interest free loan.

I pay off my balance each month with no interest. It is essentially a true charge card. The rewards you accumulate are worth the annual fee.

There is no argument or counterargument. The data stands as presented by the CDC. All of the following are either screenshot, copied, or linked from the source you quoted, and none of it claims a 2.2% death rate for the flu as I read it:

CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 38 million flu illnesses, 390,000 hospitalizations and 23,000 deaths from flu.

Nice job reading the top of the page and posting the graphic on the infant mortality rate. If you scroll down shortly from the top you will see the number of positive cases from the last 23 weeks. If you go down one more section from the Infant Mortality Sectiom you will find the Total Mortality rate that will then have a link to a a spreadsheet that will break down the deaths attributed to influenza by month. This taking these numbers will give you a death per positive case rate like we are seeing for CoronaVirus. This will give you an apples for apples comparison for what we can measure for both viruses. According to this metric which scientists and others have quoted many times as the death rate for the virus: CoronaVirus is less deadly than the flu.

Now my prior argument was on the theory that the CoronaVirus spreads faster than the flu and if you took the supposed flu case rate for 3 week span and expounded that onto the CoronaVirus you would have a death rate of 0.1%. If the theory of that the CoronaVirus spreads significantly faster than the flu holds (ala the Stanford Study) it would conclude that the CoronaVirus is much less deadlier than the flu.
