It’s not new, my mom told me of visiting her aunt who was being treated for TB. She was quarantined in her home, they talked from the yard through the screen window. 1950’s
President Trump, VP Pence and the team he has working on the corona virus.
See Italy. What makes you think it will be any different here?
Are you kidding? He linked to a press conference that the President and his team held today. His team gave an update on the current status of their fight. You would do well to actually get updated with real information on what's going with this virus.
That’s kind of not the point when you are dealing with trying to slow the spread of pandemic.
Agree !
Anyone know of a Not Fake news source for Conservatives ??
Great reply !
I get it but if you knew you were sick why would you not take it seriously. Would love to hear the guys rationale.
Okay - let me make something very clear to you. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SPREAD A DANGEROUS AND DEADLY DISEASE. Do you got that? Creating another cluster to potentially infect countless thousands of additional people has NOTHING to do with liberty - that THREATENS people's liberty. Do you not get that? Ignoring reality and discarding any semblance of common decency and wisdom to make a non-existent argument is not virtuous.
“Nooo I’m supposed to have all my rights even during a national emergency!”
Not sure all of these things are rights. You’re licensed by the state/city to do business, esp. sell alcohol. I suppose they can halt/amend that on a short term basis. It’s like driving, driving is a privilege, not a right.
Look, I’m not in favor of these things, but this is what people think must be done. I don’t see how we push this past six weeks at the absolute outside, but we’ll see.
If it’s an over reaction it’s not just Trump and/or those who hate him over reacting.
I for one am very glad that I have to work at home the next two weeks. Quite frankly I think my company got sick of us freaking out every half hour or so.
“If someone had Wuhan virus, didn’t know it, and has recovered, would that show up in tests later? Do the indicators show up in tests?”
It is possible to test serum for specific antibodies. Not necessarily cheap or quick, though.
“Accelerated herd immunity by exposure, with mitigation protocols for those over 70 or with severe underlying issues....it would be the fastest way out.”
This is what the Brits are going to try. I’m kind of glad they are doing so, comparing what results they and we get may prove very instructive. Not so sure about “fastest” though, as supposedly they thing this could hang around all year and into next year.
Ask President Trump, he declared it. I suspect it’s because there’s a pandemic that could wipe out millions of Americans. Far more dangerous than Iran, Syria, Cuba or other nations that we spend $750 Billion a year to fight.
This is a war.
You mean to tell you are seriously not aware that this virus is already spreading in the US?
For Pete's sake it's a virus. We deal with viruses everyday; flu viruses and cold viruses are part of life.
Are you kidding me? You wrote this thinking this makes sense? You really believe all viruses are the same?
What exactly is it about THIS virus that is creating such a panic?
Oh, I don't know? Maybe it's much higher death rate, it's exponential growth rate, the fact we have no immunity to it, the infection lasts longer, etc. Did you really not know that before posting this comment?
Thankfully, it does appear most are taking this seriously - we may just avoid having our entire healthcare system crash and flatten this curve despite people like you who have their heads stuck in the ground or elsewhere ignoring reality. You share many traits with the far Left in that regard.
Looking for one. FR is in love with an all powerful government that can declare anything an emergency and trample your rights.
You do NOT have the right to restrict MY movements based on your hysterics. Got it? And I can assure you, there are more people with my view than those with your nonsensical, hysterical view.
Not one of you on this thread have provided any reason WHY these fascists tactics are necessary or why THIS virus is so different. The only thing you've provided is your asinine assertions that 'the sky is falling'.
I didn't say all viruses are alike. You have a comprehension problem don't you? I said/asked 'what makes this virus different?'.
I don't give a damn about the deaths in the other countries. Sorry. Yes it's sad but their health care systems & research labs are completely inferior to the U.S. and Israel. Were you aware that the Israelies are very close to a vaccine for this?
Go grab your pacifier and curl up in the corner. Let the grown ups handle this. I wish you could take the maggot politicians with you.
What exactly is it about THIS virus that is creating such a panic?
next effort to prevent re-election of PDJT
We have had quarantines, on and off, in this country since it was just Colonies. People just don’t remember.
