Continuation of the Thread

[Vermont Lt]

The President will announce everything is OK. Stay calm.

So, this thread probably won’t get 300 posts. But I will do it anyway.

[Vermont Lt]

Get in before the presser....

[null and void]

Get in before the presser....

Why not? I've got nothing more pressing...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

I’m hoping he announces we have a million doses of the Gilead compound on the way, THANKS INDIA!

Now back to your regularly scheduled lives!

(hoping anyways, I have better things to do this spring/summer than be quarantined)

[Vermont Lt]

And if you only do 20 tests a day...that is the upper growth limit.

[livius]

Everything is okay, and stay calm.

The real question is:

WILL PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TELL US THE TRUTH?

I do not believe he will. Panicking the public is of no real use unless you really believe in the American Spirit of helping our fellow neighbors.

The Democrats are already trying to use this to drive us apart...does President Trump have the ability to pull us together inspite of the democrats?

Tonight is a real test of true blooded Americans.

CDC is intentionally trying to panic people.

“Might be significant disruptions to daily life”

Yeah, right.

I have yet to get West Nile Virus, Ebola, or Coronavirus.

I will, however, have a Corona Extra tonight and laugh at the CDC.

[Vermont Lt]

Yoga breaths. Xanax. And Jack. I got 90 days worth of it all. I’m set. Lol.

In before the flu kilz a bazillion...

[livius]

Flus never make it to summer, so you’ll be okay. The virus dies in about 2 seconds with exposure to sunlight, and apparently prefers cooler temperatures. That’s why flus die as spring comes on and then sometimes come back in the fall. Hence, the “flu season.”

[kaehurowing]

We went to the market this morning to buy more canned goods. No panic yet, but it may start soon.

[Black Agnes]

SARS thrived in airconditioned hospitals.

I do think that higher D3 levels in the summer season will help a lot.

[LilFarmer]

[Raebie]

What is Gilead compound?

[Black Agnes]

We’re going to try to keep our 6w supply on hand through the summer and this fall. Rotate/label/date/etc. I expect shenanigans around election time.

[LilFarmer]

Hello, not a flu, it’s a virus. It’s exploding in the Middle East and other warm areas. Seriously, do you even read?

If he’s wise, he will - since his re-election may well hinge on it. Lay out the good, the bad and the ugly, do what he can and hope for the best.
