    It was some state government guy down in the fallout bunker control room who set the alarm off for incoming nukes on Hawaii:roflol:

    Kim still hasn't launched an ICBM.

    Come on guys, the Coronavirus is not near as big of a threat as gun violence...I mean according to Biden half the U.S. population has already been killed since 2007 so we have a better chance of being shot than the 8% total death rate of the Coronavirus!

    Okay in all seriousness now:

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

    There have been 46,429 cases, 36,159 closed cases 33,345 (92%) have recovered and been closed and 2,814 have died (8%). None of those deaths occurred in the United States. According to the the World Health Organization (WHO), the flu causes up to 5 million cases of severe illness globally and kills up to 650,000 people annually and yet here we are going CRAZY over the Coronavirus!

    My goodness so far in the U.S. no cases have resulted in death and have been dealt with, just another issue the left wants to use to attack Trump for political gain. Just face it, you all would attack him no matter what he did or said...

    Oh the humanity!! I really wish the House dems would bring back "Impeachment TV" just to calm their base down.. One thing this virus has done is expose the left for being panic prone!

    The only posters mentioning "panic" are the Trump loyalists. Their responses seem increasingly bizarre. I see no evidence of panic. Please inform me if I am missing something. Americans are interested in the progress of the virus and our plans to confront the situation. That seems reasonable and American's are willing and able to support those efforts. They need reliable information though and they don't believe they are getting it.

    Would you like him to seal off the country, that would honestly help! But then we have open boarder to the south and have for decades been reintroduced to diseases that were eradicated in the U.S. more then a century ago! So the saying goes, "When you sleep with a dog, you wake up with fleas."! Welcome to the kennel ;)

    I don't have that much whisky or dogs, but I can drive less then 3 miles and there are thousands of free reign Angus "BIG ONES" one of those would last me along time.. If I'm lazy I could just shoot one the of the eight deer that lay around in my front yard and eat my flowers "Tops"! I owe the bitch's some payback!

    Didn't one of the DP party bosses just point out that '157 million Americans' had been killed by guns in the last few years?

    Alcoholics and crying babies! I think we're on to something.

    To date there have been no reported fatalities in the under 10 cohort. Now, we cannot regress in age, so that remedy is out. Follow me. HOWEVER, if Crichton was presaging the Corona Virus, astronomical reference and all, maybe, just maybe, mass consumption of Whiskey is our savior!

    In the name of science and the common good I'm willing to start the trial as a participant. Further, with the survival of human kind in the balance, I'll dispense with the placebo and volunteer for the hard stuff.

    Where's the IV doc, hook me up:

    Trump's statements about this are a valid complaint. Trump and Kudlow were on TV just a couple days ago telling everyone this thing wasn't going to catch on here. I understand officials can't panic people, but the CDC did an excellent job of telling people what was really going on without scaring the **** out of them: this thing is going to move in here and probably be pretty disruptive. That probably did scare a lot of people, but forewarned is forearmed.

    Japan shut down all their schools today. If we end up doing stuff like that, it's fair to hold the Trump admin accountable. If it peters out and doesn't really do anything here, you can dig this up and I'll give Trump an "attaboy". But that's really looking unlikely now.

    State Dept. idiots went against his directions in that.

    So we should turn things over to the party that can't even run an IA primary, or debate without chaos?

    He shouldn't have said that. The CDC is sure it's going to spread here. They're right. It's popped up everywhere now and is clearly out of control.
