Its not the flu. Any more than Ebola is not the flu. Chicken pox isnt the flu. Pneumonia is not the flu. Tuberculosis is not the flu.
But, the President compares it to the flu.
So, we waste time talking about how its not the flu.
If there were 80,000 increase in TB on top of the flu you could be shit sure that people would be acting.
This is not an either/or situation. Its concurrent. Can Americans not grasp that?
Also, Trump is probably 100% correct that this fades away in April. We don't know for sure, but it's very likely. It will stay endemic where it has spread, but it will be easier to track outside of flu season.
OK, smartypants, this Corona virus strain is like the common cold, since strains of the coronavirus are the common cold.
With demodrones, no subject is reasonable. Even viruses.
“Can Americans not grasp that?”
Do you need to ask. Americans can’t even grasp the implications of China being shutdown, even though nearly half of their consumer items say “Made in China” and much (maybe most) of the other half of their items (domestic and imported) have now non-available Chinese content.

Do you know the difference between a Coronavirus and a Rhinovirus? I thought not. Rhinovirus is the common cold. Its a different model.
Also, you completely missed the point.
The hospitals are full...as they are every year. If we dropped several tens of thousands of cases of ANYTHING on them, there will be problems.
That, singular issue, will cause disruption.
I am NOT saying anyone is going to die. I AM saying, in some hospitals they will be treating people in the conference rooms.
There is simply not enough capacity to handle anything out of the norm these days. Hospitals are not sitting there with open beds.
Does infrared kill germs and bacteria that might be on products from say, China?
GLOBALISM is the problem. China engineered a bioweapon that got out. We need to shut ALL borders until the smoke clears from this. Better to be cautious.
Trump is falling into a trap minimizing this because it’s only going to get bigger in the days and weeks ahead. Instead, he should treat it like 9/11 and do a Manhattan-style project to find a solution.
CLOSE THE BORDERS. This also shows the need for a wall at our southern border.
Great article by Clarice. Thanks for posting.
Nancy misspoke, walked-back, was spinning...PLUG in your favorite euphemism.
Rod’s sis LIED.
Networks of deceivers roam the republic. They are well-paid by we the people.
The lie is the WEAPON used most often by the criminal. Right Barry. Bill, Hillary?
“Do you know the difference between a Coronavirus and a Rhinovirus? I thought not.”
That’s because you’re an arrogant little kid who thinks he know everything about everybody.
Your dramabug postings show that you don’t know the first thing about microbiology.
Listen, Sunshine, you don’t know the first thing about COVID-19, but you sure like to run around like a little girl looking for attention screaming about some kind of drama.
Its not the flu. Any more than Ebola is not the flu. Chicken pox isnt the flu. Pneumonia is not the flu. Tuberculosis is not the flu.
Its a whole heck of a lot closer to the flu than any of those other diseases you mention.
Its a viral attack on the respiratory system and the symptoms and treatments are exactly the same as the flu.
But dont let me disturb your panic. Here....Ill help:
BOO!
Real or unreal this CLUSTER F shows governments are REALLY OUT OF CONTROL and not working in the best interest of their citizens. Hear that Chinese, Mohammedans?
“Does infrared kill germs and bacteria that might be on products from say, China?”
Infrared light no, high intensity infrared heat might but it lively will melt the product. Ultraviolet C light at high enough intensity will kill most bacteria and viruses you would not want to have skin or your eyes.anywhere near UVC intense enough to kill those in anytime frame under an hour exposed.
Did you even read the post?
Go back. Read it all the way through. You can use your finger. Sound out the words. You can even move your mouth.
Go ahead. Take a few minutes.
Then come back and we can discuss the point.
And again. You are so busy typing a response you dont even read the point of the post.
Retard.
Where is the vaccine for the common cold? I don't expect you to be able to answer, it just seemed like a good place to put the question out there.
“I don’t expect you to be able to answer”
Of course you don’t. We don’t expect much from you anyway.
It’s also like SARS or MERS, since those are also strains of coronavirus.
