    That's the particular thing. No. We have just been going on about our business as the bodies piled up.

    Interesting.

    Because they didn’t increase exponentially with no end in sight.

    Can you point me to a day by day count of flu deaths so I can confirm that?

    You provided the range of 162 to 428 per day since October. If there was an exponential increase it’s no end in sight, by all means show us how the seasonal flu curve matches this curve. Deaths increased every day from les than 100 per day to more than 500 per day in less than a week, with every day having more deaths than the previous day. This is not the same as seasonal flu.

    In Italy more than 46 doctors and many more nurses have died from catching the Coronavirus from people they were trying to treat. Seasonal flu does not do that

    I'm working backwards from the data so I'm averaging per day.

    Why Italy and not Germany, or...really most other places? Italy is an outlier, not the norm.

    Do you really think so. Tell me exactly what any of the democrats running would have done differently, of course you have the benefit of knowing everything that has transpired that Trump could not have known, but tell us anyway how much better if would be if Hillary was in charge.

    Firstly it doesn't change the point. Now it's 50 doctors in Italy - 4 more doctors died yesterday. Secondly, doctors and nurses have died in France, UK and other countries. The UK had their first doctor death yesterday. The US have also had deaths, 2 in NY and one in Miami. The reason why relatively few have died in US and UK so far is because we are behind other countries. Takes upto 20 days before death.

    They are already running for cover. The class action lawsuits will likely reach into the $billions. How many people did Fox and Limbaugh and trump et al. kill with their foolishness? There are perhaps tens of thousands of families who can or will make that claim.

    Example: Grandpa watched Fox. He dismissed it all as a hoax because of Fox. He went out and didn't take precautions because of Fox. He contracted the virus and died because of Fox. We want $10 million for his wrongful death.

    This is going to play out thousands and thousands of times in the years to come.

    Fox and the entire disinformation media are finally going to pay for what they've done to this country. Unfortunately they had to kill thousands of loyal followers for this to happen.

    Even today there were some churches that were packed. One went viral with the Pastor proclaiming it is all a hoax intended to defeat trump in November. You have the right-wing media and trump to thank for that.

    Oh yes, and he gave it to three other family members including his brother, who also died. So cue in the brother's family lawsuit next.

    Pff. Even Donald now had to admit it may cost 200.000 lives and things will get way worse than they already are for weeks on end. We're talking about a total idiot here who previously claimed we should open things up just after Easter.


    Just stupid that some GOP keep on playing this political gamble, when the curtain has fallen on them. You lot were dead wrong, buddy. Get over it.

    What post 33 mentions.

    And I add. The US is also behind with the spread. The curb looks promising! Even your very own imbecile Donald mentioned in all his optimism that they are going for a 100,000 to a kewl 200,000 deaths in the coming weeks, while they are at just 2,000 the last time I checked. Murica nr 1 f* yeah. What's that about the norm again?

    Nope, don't agree. CNN and MSNBC reporters are not held to this standard and can spew any conspiracy theories they want

    You want to blame the whole virus thing on a President you hate. On the one hand, we have a media that hopes for the worst, while the Doctors and advosors are cautious but more pragmatic, and all Trump wants to do is assure Americans their is light at the end of the tunnel. You are going to have a gripe no matter what he does. When he cut off flights from China he was racist. You have something disparaging no matter what he does. In reality, he has done a damn fine job! Hillary lost. Time to get over it!

    Yup. He mocked the entire thing as just a flu, something that will vanish as a miracle.
    We can open up again this easter. No probs to remove that social distancing thing.
    Until he gave that 100.000 to 200.000 death sentence to the US for his total lack of leadership.
    The Chinese closes down Wuhan in 20 days after the 1st doctor reported.
    The US had a heads up months in advance. China had nothing in advance.

    Of course. The US media want as many casualties as possible.
    In fact. They are helping out spreading the disease among the elderly as we speak.
    All part of fake deep state world of Trump.

    Total right wing garbage to blame who ever for the failing GOP government.
    You lot refuse to take ANY responsibility while at the helm. Totally pathetic.
    Grow u or leave office. Let other people handle it.

    Hillary has nothing to do with it champ. What has to do with it, is the GOP president, who lied about how serious it all was, against the claims of the advisers around him. He now says it will cost 100.000 to 200.000 deaths. His... FREAKING HUNCH... was that it wouldn't be so bad. He has made the US the total loser of the world. Nobody is going to top that one. All you got left is play oh I don't remember them quotes of him.

    So your argument is that Italy isn't an outlier, it's just ahead of the curve, so every country will be Italy.

    So you think Trump is wrong and we won't get close to 100K deaths?

    When the left claimed it all was going to be terrible, you lot were all over the place that it wouldn't.
    Where were you at when Trump said it was going to be all over like a miracle, and we can open up at Easter?
    You right wingers were played like a little children, little Mike, as little children... by Donald.
    The lack of outrage, that the left had, is going to make Murica nr 1 in amount of deaths.
    All part of MAGA! Thanks for your support for Donald when the left said you lot are wrong.

    Go source it. As far as I can tell, you lot accused the left for irrational fears plunging the stock market. People at Fox for fired over it even. lol

    I do recall some right wingers insisting to call Corona the Chinese virus.
    That was racist.

    I can't source it....because they never said it would be terrirlbe...they called the travel bans and overration, racist, and fearmongering.....

    No it's not...Chinese isn't a race for one, it's called the Chinese Virus because that's where it came from...China....not from some US Soldier as the Chinese tried to falsely claim.....

    No, my argument is that the Coronavirus is more contagious and more deadly than seasonal flu

    All I'm going to say to you is that when this thing is over, and it will be, we will understand how good our leadership was. You will experience a climatic letdown just like you did in 2016 and after the impeachment coup was finished. Your life must be a giant roller coaster. Then just when you are about to get off......November 2020 comes around. Will you look into the camera and scream?

    Except them pointing at the WHO saying it's going to be rather deadly.
    While you GOP went.. it's just a flu.

    It's not called the Chinese virus, but Corona / Covid19. And Chinese is an ethnicity, like ethnic Chinese American. Hence it's racist.

    Well so far... mr optimism himself thinks it's going to be 100.000 to 200.000 deaths.
    That's from mr optimism! That's predicting murica to be the hell hole nr 1.
