A person, who attended the 2020 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).

Mainstream media has gone mad reporting this fact:

[Starcitizen]

For me, it’s not panic. I want payback from the brutal Communist Chinese.

[DannyTN]

19,000 people attended CPAC.

[JoSixChip]

Their as good as dead, eh?

[ClearCase_guy]

Wait ... what’s this? There’s a virus? Is it bad?

[DannyTN]

Don’t be ridiculous.

[reasonisfaith]

If everything were exactly the same minus the media hype, our lives would have continued on like every other year, and nobody would know what coronavirus is.

[reasonisfaith]

This thing is like a common cold.

The average age of those who reportedly died from it is 80.

From Feb 12th 2010...”H1N1 swine flu has killed as many as 17,000 Americans, including 1,800 children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday.”

Every year, old people in nursing homes get a cold, then aspirate and die of pneumonia.

From Feb 12th 2010...”H1N1 swine flu has killed as many as 17,000 Americans, including 1,800 children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday.”

Yeah, and everyone was praising St. Obama for his wonderful response to the crisis.

[reasonisfaith]

Excellent article.

Clear thinking is needed amidst all the crazy stuff.

[JoSixChip]

The average age of those who reportedly died from it is 80.

Actually, I was corrected on that earlier. It's actually the median age, but the average is going to be close to that as well.

It looks like there may be a worldwide rush on TP.

[KSCITYBOY]

Btt

[piasa]

Does it give people the runs too?

[John Milner]

I guess if I run out of TP and there’s none available I’ll just cut up a couple of old towels into correct size pieces and use them.

Rinse out in the sink and launder and reuse. Kinda like we used to do with infant diapers.

I don’t get the panic...

[Trump.Deplorable]

if you buy 600 rolls of toilet paper, buy 20 gallons of hand sanitizer, sell all of your stock and vote Joe Biden, the cornyvirus won’t infect you

[proust]

Saw a picture of some left coast liberal with a basket full of toilet paper. I will tell my grandchildren about the great panic of 2020.
