    It only is peaking in China because of their massive lockdown, not because of the weather. We are just a few weeks behind. I think Trump fans will have eggs on their face when we get to these lockdowns, after declaring for weeks that it is only the liberal media and the Dems trying to make Trump look bad. Didn't you watch the address to the nation last night? It definitely was a much more somber speech than what he gave the weeks before, when he declared the threat over.

    When we break the halfway point of 1,000,000 hospitalizations per year, like with pneumonia for example, let me know.

    Is that also why you have to resort to non-answers and backhanded insults when asked to explain yourself?

    Because you can't fill me in now? Go talk to the Supreme Court of India and ask them to ****ing help you then.

    You keep on laughing while Americans die and lose trillions in assets if you think it helps.

    I am going to keep reminding people that this virus is very serious and that you need to prepare by researching the virus, engaging in social distancing, incorporating better health practices in your everyday life, and ensuring that you and your family can quarantine themselves for 2-3 weeks without relying upon deliveries or trips to the grocery store and pharmacy.

    China has a biological weapons factory just outside of....Wuhan. I believe they let this one get away from them. Biological weapons have to kill the opposing army's troops and go away quickly so their troops don't get the virus when they move in to the area.

    Enjoy it while you can.

    @MrTLegal check this out

    "But outside research into the illness suggests that the disease may not have come from the market after all—rather, it may have come into the market. Speaking to Science, Georgetown University infectious disease specialist Daniel Lucey noted that since the virus seems to have an incubation period of up to 14 days and the first reported case emerged on Dec 1, it’s possible the initial human infection took place in November. And since the virus presents only cold-like symptoms in many individuals, Patient Zero—whoever they are—could have spread it to others long before health officials knew what to look for. That means it could have infected humans before even making it to the market under scrutiny."

    https://www.popsci.com/story/health/wuhan-coronavirus-china-wet-market-wild-animal/


    So China told the world at best a month after this was active.......

    "In 2018, around 611.47 million passengers travelled by air in China."

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/275907/number-of-air-passengers-in-china/

    So divide that number by 12 gives you 51 million people in China from around the world in that month...

    So then if we think it was already here in America let's look up flu in November of 2019 because Drs would probably have diagnosed the Corona Virus as the flu since they didn't know about it yet...

    "
    Nationally, the percentage of clinic visits for flulike illness last week rose to 2.5%, putting it above the overall baseline of 2.4% for the first time. However, some regions of the country have been above their specific baselines for a few weeks now, and currently, 4 of 10 are above their baselines.

    Another key indicator that rose last week is the percentage of respiratory specimens that tested positive for flu, which rose to 7.3%, up from the previous week."

    "
    Will my health care provider test me for flu if I have flu-like symptoms?
    Not necessarily. Most people with flu symptoms are not tested because the test results usually do not change how you are treated.

    Your health care provider may diagnose you with flu based on your symptoms and their clinical judgment or they may choose to use an influenza diagnostic test"

    I think tlegal caught tourette's, dropping f bombs in every post. I assume abuse of that is against the TOS?

    Is it just me, or do certain posters post on this topic remind you a lot of their reactions to the Jessie case?

    All of those articles quote health care professionals and none of them hate Trump.

    But listen, if you want to argue that a lack of testing is somehow a good or neutral thing, it needs to be your burden to provide a reason for believing such.

    So what?

    The Flu and the coronavirus are completely unrelated.

    I think that there needs to be a fresh "talking point".

    "Flu...Flu...Flu..." is no longer getting the job done.

    It definitely shouldn't be against the TOS.

    That would make this place sadder than it is.

    And if my hypothesis about there being a month were the diease was active and unknown, that's means roughly 52 million air passengers through China in that month. Let's say 1% got Corona, that's 509,000 people from around the globe... CDC saw an uptick of flu in November and from CDCs own website they say a Dr doesn't have to give a flu test to diagnose the flu

    While the democrats try to pass the No Ban Act 2020 which would limit the president’s authority to restrict travel.

    Just what we need during a pandemic....
    Open borders.....:roflol:

    Other than that... how did you like the play Mrs Lincoln.
