helped propel an uptick in overall flu-like illnesses

Is that another way of saying hypochondriacs are doing what they do?

Not to you, but my reply to the report is:

Bullsh%t

It is still statistically insignificant

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, “Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!”

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

“Don’t cry ‘wolf’, shepherd boy,” said the villagers, “when there’s no wolf!” They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, “Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!” To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, “Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don’t cry ‘wolf’ when there is NO wolf!”

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, “Wolf! Wolf!”

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn’t come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn’t returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

“There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, “Wolf!” Why didn’t you come?”

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

“We’ll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning,” he said, putting his arm around the youth, “Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!”

Already stopped counting cases. I know someone who was a suspected quarantined case. They only send some of the tests on for further testing (those where the symptoms are severe.)

MSNBC is about 5 days late with this story. The reason they are not testing is because the state health depts are so clogged up with cases they can’t test them.

I guess the media is doing whatever it takes to keep this story alive.

The CDC has confirmed more than 2,000 cases in 43 states and Washington D.C.

Does anyone know if any of those people are U.S. citizens?

I am still in awe that 4 viruses magically co-mingled and evolved into one supposed super virus, and that it took a blink of an eye in government time to identify the new virus and supposedly identify where the evolution occurred.

It appears the mortality rate is very low, no worse than the garden variety flu we see every year. Perhaps the 2nd wave will be worse? Who knows? At this point, who cares?

In the meantime, Obama and the Democrat Congress are bankrupting us and using our money to pay off their political buddies. Now that is a deadly event of pandemic proportions!
