Lets keep the following in mind:

—Most people will never see this virus in their home.
—Most people who see it will not get anything more than sniffles.
—This will have a great economic impact than anything else.

The intent of the thread is to consolidate information into one place and share information.

And I still say the Democrats and their media helpers will do everything they can to use this against Trump, and to try to crash the economy.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

No imports from SE Asia for a few months will be a gut punch to the economy.

It’s like bandaid off quickly sometimes takes hide with it.

More people will see that Trump was right about bringing manufacturing back to the US. Most especially medicines and medical supplies!

Talk about your ‘economic impact’....

Saw a tweet reposted on a local Christian radio station site. A listener went to the Costco Business in Fife (right next to Tacoma) and they said the parking lot was absolutely full, and the lines went to the back of the store.

—This will have a great[er] economic impact than anything else.

This much is absolutely true.

A couple of reasons:

This happened when the stock market was probing new heights.

Adding to all of that is the fact that the left has been desperately hoping to somehow crash the stock market or exacerbate any pain even if it means that millions may die, they want to create or exacerbate any crisis, pump it up, and pin it on Trump.

They did this in Puerto Rico - massive aid was sent after Hurricane Maria and hidden - the mayor of San Juan even stood in front of it on TV and lied that people were dying because of Trump. Rumors circulated that the aid was hidden and not distributed - but relax, we were told - the FBI was investigating. NOTHING EVER CAME OF IT... until two years later, someone opened the warehouse stuffed full or rotting aid that was never distributed, but rather hidden so that they could blame Trump. Nobody was punished. They got away with it. People died.

People on the left have already publicly stated that they intend to infect Trump supporters if they get this virus. People will die. This is what we are up against.

Another reason are the unbelievably stupid and selfish such as the employee of Dartmouth Medical Center who was under self quarantine, yet went to an event and infected coworkers.

Thanks for the threads.

I am sure many are reading these and learning a _lot_.

Here on FR I see more and more people are getting a lot better educated on this disease than they were even a week ago—and these threads are a major part of that process.

High five!

Hey buddy, I just want to go to the grocery store without 4 sick people being in it. If that means we have to bust some skulls, so be it. Lol.

the first premise seems questionable. this thing is crazy contagious. are there previous comparable diseases with the contagion factor range this one is given (plus length of incubation/asymptomatic transmission?)

it seems just as likely many WILL see this in their homes,even if it is just a lower resp. minor issue.
