And before that the left was shrieking that Bush would do the same.

Back in 2012, both Obama and Romney were running on some kind of health provision, and Obama's health plan was structured after Romney's home state health plan. This lead me to believe we would be getting "Obamacare" regardless who was voted in that term. In other words, both parties are nothing more than two sides of the same coin. And I agree, Trump as well as all the leaders of the world sure are using this virus to stomp away all citizens freedoms.

Heck, the toilet paper outage is way too organized to be a random event.

Governors have more ability to declare Martial Law type powers than the President.

OP, Gun sales are through the roof. How's your stock of ammo?

The police have basically stopped arresting people in many cities for home burglary.

Thanks to the media hysteria, schumer and dems spreading fear and doom, idiots fighting over toilet paper, guns and ammo are flying off the shelves. Like the 2nd coming of Obama, gun sales are booming.


Okay serious problem, no need to use theoretical modeling that produces numbers hospitalized, dying, based on zero intervention, unless you want to push a political narrative or get clicks to show potential business the money paid for their ads will be worth the price.


Listening to Cuomo's doomsday scenario and political jabs, the line to jump off the GWB is expanding.


Some approved drugs were floated as possible mitigators. Has anyone looked at the contraindicated meds and medical conditions, past and present which would preclude use of the drug in many individuals? Not to say don't use it if proven effective, but temper the news with facts to reduce false impressions both positive and negative.


Hard to get everyone on board when we look at the deaths from the flu and in 2009 when we were hit with the new and novel h1n1 flu that killed so many people.


this strain of virus is new as was h1n1. Obama dithered while people died, not a problem for chuck schumer or the media.

I predict not until after the election and Biden gets elected. Then the virus will magically disappear from the media and all will be forgotten come inauguration time.
Not that the virus will be gone...it may still be killing thousands just like the flu. It just won't be publicized anymore.

Agreed. Lincoln was no hero and why he is so revered is beyond me. When Bush signed the Patriot act I cringed. Interestingly Obama made a campaign promise to rescind it. The decided he liked it and even expanded it.

Funny thing how politicians are with power. They will never give it up by choice.

Lol — first they claimed DJT was a dictator, now he’s not doing enough to save them from their duly elected tyrants. Can’t make this “stuff” up — just too funny.
