    I never used to get sick when I smoked. Admittedly I was twenty years plus younger.

    The sad thing is that they may ruin or even end the lives of others.

    Thank you. In the US, we will exceed the yearly deaths from H1N1 early next week. 38 or 39 days. Yikes.

    I iggied all the naysayers, but I still see people banging their heads against the walls trying to explain it.

    My anxiety has gone down from not having to see it. As I keep reminding myself, it is stupid to try to fix stupid. :)

    Have a great night, Stat.

    The Corona virus doesn’t scare me. Comparing it to the Spanish flu is fear mongering.

    Orange Man Bad. ^^^

    Trump does not tolerate gotcha questions and questions in which quotes are taken out of context like Jim Acosta does continually. We are in the middle of a pandemic. We should expect far more from the reporters which attend these briefings.

    Dr. Birx made the point in the daily briefing today that there will be plenty of time after the country gets back to normal operation to launch an inquiry into what happened. She referenced the fact that China claimed no evidence of human to human transfer on 1/14 and that the WHO stated that there was no reason for travel bans on 2/4. She stressed that everyone must work together until the virus crisis is over. And then Jim Acosta rudely interrupted her.

    I'm pretty sarcastic by nature, so I do like how you can make something bad into something good. :)
    Stay healthy. Keep us updated.

    Why do you think Italy, which has been hit harder than any other country per capita, is reclassifying their "corona virus" deaths ?? Their head of medical science, Dr. Walter Ricciardi, has determined that 88% of their "corona virus" deaths were the result of pre existing conditions.

    At the end of the day Florida took the people. Anyone is entitled to make a mistake, even you, but most people would rather be Monday morning quarterbacks with their yeah, buts. Do you understand that?

    This is the most important thing here--The majority may not die from it or even have severe symptoms, but they can and do pass it on to those who at risk. The suggestion that, "oh well, they were going to die anyway" is just too inhuman to consider.

    Why is Italy reclassifying ?? They have concluded that the 88% died from their pre existing conditions. They were infected with Corona virus but if not for their pre existing conditions would have survived. Why do you think they doing that ???

    You watched it ?? Why would anyone conclude that Dr. Birx looked defeated ?? That's a bizarre conclusion.

    Responding to Stat.

    “And maybe next time, when a female reporter, usually a POC, asks him a legitimate question, calling her question (or her person) "nasty" and then himself being nasty to her is just plain old elementary school crap. Fer Chrissakes, we are in the middle of a deadly pandemic. I expect far better than this of any President, regardless of party or inclinations.“

    I thought the Covid19 virus was a type of Cold virus which is different from the flu virus?

    People have seen thousands of urns delivered to funeral house in Wuhan to expose the lies that the Red Chinese have told. Where is Ai Fen ??

    Do we have enough medical information to make a judgment about why Italy is doing that? Can we say the virus had nothing to do with those deaths?

    The comment was not aimed at any one person, but I've heard many people talk about how the virus is not a big deal. The statistics show that most who carry the virus are younger and healthier, while those who are dying from it tend to be older or have pre-existing conditions. The point is that the cavalier attitude of "it's not a big deal" is putting many at an even greater risk. Yes, they have pre-existing conditions and they will die anyway. So will I. So will you. So will we all die in time, but if we carry the virus, we spread it and people who might not have died so soon end up dying before they would have if the virus had not been a factor.
