Great. But let me ask you, what are the end game numbers for this virus (this season), right now? Be specific.



What were the end game number for the flu last season? Be specific.


I'm not sure how anyone can take known numbers (the flu) and compare them to numbers that are not known (CV19)? Then compare them as they are the same? Basically, people are talking the last flu season (lets say 9 months) and comparing those 9 month numbers to the numbers of this virus of 3 months?



I'm not sure how much more easy this can be mad in a comparison.

agreed.

I would like to see POTUS Trump extend the travel ban to Central and South America. The fewer non citizens we let in, the better, until many months have passed and health concerns drop sharply.

Last week my employer was all, wash your hands. Suddenly, full stop, Friday they did an about face and are working to equip us to stay at home in shifts. The urgency was dramatic. In one day there was real urgency to cancel everything and get ready within about 1 or 2 days.

IMHO, my employer would only make that decision if they had been told a 14 day shut down was coming.

I am confident it is coming. I think they don't want people to panic before it happens.

But here's the thing, all we have to do is wait a few months and see what is what.

The questions will answer themselves.

In the mean time if you wish to go bar hopping or take a flight, it is your right. Some of us will cruise at home, and that is our right.

Sorry, but the coronavirus is not playing by your arbitrary schedule. But not to worry, little Trumpie, we have real experts who know what's going on, even as you display your complete and utter ignorance in post after post after post.
Dems swore up and down that all these people were already infected because orange man refused to address the situation immediately.

Funny how they are now starting to sing a different tune.....

Frankly, in terms of Corona, I think US citizens traveling to Latin America are more of a problem/threat than Latin Americans traveling to the US. If I were Mexico I would already have closed the border.

Gov. Pritzer (IL) just ordered all bars and restaurants closed. Schools/churches have already closed.

Default Federal Reserve Slashes Interest Rates to 0%

I'm sure that will beat the virus into submission. When will Trump learn that lowering interest rates won't fix it? The economy can't sustain growth forever. It was only a matter of time before we had a recession. if it wasn't the virus, it would have been something else. And now there are no tools left to fight the impending recession at all.
