May be? Understatement of the century.

[GOPJ]

I trust our medical experts more than I trust some lawyer attempting to grab the limelight in an area outside his field. My doctor’s not that impressed with lawyers...maybe he could write piece on it..

[trebb]

Duh! Got word from an inside source that the LA National Guard will be used to enforce a lock-down starting tomorrow.....once one State does it, the rest will start to follow suit.

Tomorrow will tell how good the info is.

[wardaddy]

Exactly

I knew people like Andy would respond like that eventually

It’s over now or it’s better now cause we panicked and yalls skepticism made it worse than it should have been something like that

Reason left this forum over amnesty 2005, schiavo I forget when, mad Ivan’s exit to form wideawakes and other episodes I’ve forgotten

Now it’s this and we are much smaller in numbers so it feels like the panickers are the majority and I’d say they are by maybe 65%

This may be the worst I’ve seen....it’s not as mean....schiavo was mean...whew really mean...the divide here

Rudi caused many hurt feelings

This one is different....it’s an exposé on freepers and contrasting personalities

I continue to hold this forum plurality is older women....many widowed and some are fearful and I don’t blame them...especially if feel alone...I can relate to that

Glass half full

Optimism

And so forth....this is a reflection on human nature....

But the panic set will never ever own this here...no way

I am a Mr Mom by myself to four right now and trying to stay alive just as a precaution since I can’t just sit at home and watch my money run out

I procured some 200mg hdroxchlorquine (sic)

I’m trying to figure the prophylactic dosage ...for malaria it’s a pill or so a week

Anyhow I have 100 and three rounds of azithromyacin ...

I’m not oblivious cause I’m high risk to catch it and high risk to die from it

But I’m not panicking

And I disagree with the sky is falling sorts here and no I do not think it’s proliferated in hot climates

And will fade here as we warm up

What he said.

[xp38]

Well this Epstein has yet to kill himself.

[Jack Black]

" “Overlooked is the good news coming out of China, where the latest report shows 16 new cases and 14 new deaths, suggesting that the number of deaths in the currently unresolved group will be lower than the 5.3 percent conversion rate in the cases resolved to date. In my view, we will see a similar decline in Italy,”

I swear! This guy is a top dog at the Hoover Institution, so he's paid to be smart, essentially. But here he is taking the word of the Chinese Communist Party - who have been lying and covering up about this outbreak since it began -- at face value, and telling us we should plan around it.

Un-freakin' believable!

[Mashood]

...waiting for the Friday news dump.

[xp38]

Exactly and the nearly 3000 who died on 9/11 were a blip too but it set in motion a lot of events regardless.

[Major Matt Mason]

This happening in an election year is the worst luck.

There is no "luck" involved here - this is deliberate because it is an election year. Not an election year? You would hear very little about it.

[Deplorable American1776]

Overreacting? Really, I thought everybody buys 10 cases of toilet paper every week..😋

[AndyJackson]

Were elephants marauding in nearby districts?

[CodeToad]

We should call the panicky types, “The Bell Ringers”.

Captain Obvious wrote this. /s

[CodeToad]

“You would hear very little about it.”

exactly. The American left took advantage of the Chinese using the virus to disperse the anti-Communist protesters.

[abb]

Psycho paranoids is what they are. I never, ever knew there were that many here on FRee Republic. I used to come here for a dose of sanity after listening or reading the MSM. THAT’S been blown sky high!

[proust]

Argument from authority is the fallacy of the day, week, most likely year.. An article about a medical doctor giving legal opinions would be laughed out of here, but this article confirms certain biases.

[wardaddy]

Hey cronos....I disagree with X a lot...he’s like you on race but he’s not stupid

Question

Is it racist to wonder if. Chinese are more immune to it than we are

Post 36

I obviously don’t think it is ....but x is surmising maybe non Chinese are more susceptible

Is that a racist generalization

Or is it just racist when I pointed out like many experts at that time thought Chinese were more susceptible perhaps or those with similar markers

So I ask you?

Did X make a racist comment or just me cause I generalized about a minority

You have stalked me around the forum over this...btw

Btw....I got a freepmail early on from a self published expert on these things here who claimed indeed that many thought the Chinese more susceptible early in but I’m not going to disclose who that person is...but you’d know the nick right away if I told you

We really don’t know racial truth on this spread yet if it even matter

Race is withheld by the medical folks and media.

So who knows...the media holds back whatever doesn’t feed the panic

[CodeToad]

I’ve always known we are a fickle bunch, but never the paranoid types. We are now. We are also showing our communist side. As long as government promises us safety we’ll let the government have and control anything and everything.
