If you haven’t figured out that China and the “American” Media are the same, you still haven’t opened your eyes.

“South Koreans speak ONE language, are predominantly single race people, and obey rules much more than freewheeling Americans. They do not have ACLU or democrat party or liberal media as well. Those are huge advantages when a pandemic strikes.”

They also only have 50 million people in a very small area . Lot easier to contain and test than 330 million +

Not to mention the panic is what is creating the medical burden, everyone running to the hospital with a cough or sneeze. So then the media can report about the overburdened health care system. A vicious cycle created by the media and supported by the masses of lemmings including many right here

South Korea probably doesn’t have a media run by the chinese that wants their country to fail so they can take over.

If you notice, the “American” media can’t even behave for this and called the President a racists. This is a China media trying to keep everyone on panic mode so our economy will be totally destroyed and the Chinese can install whomever they want as President

Russia Russia Russia was a Chinese plot to take out the American President

The news media is a Propaganda Machine for the Democrat Party.

Their single-minded purpose is to serve the Democrat Party and get Democrats elected.

The welfare of the American People and the USA is not even a consideration to those people.

The Democrats and the Democrat Party consider the USA an evil, racist, nazi nation that must be destroyed. The reason they hate President Trump so rabidly is because he has thwarted their plans to do exactly that.

Russia,Russia,.Russia, Ukraine,Ukraine,Ukraine, Impeachment,Impeachment,Impeachment, Plague,Plague,Plauge ......is there a pattern here with the Democrat Party and its propaganda arm of the MSM? I believe they think the have finally got Trump now by destroying the economy he helped create. The longer they can stretch this manufactured crisis out the more and more unlikely a swift recovery will occur in time.

Wrong. Taiwan just avoided having to be Draconian by shutting down early.

Yes freaked out buyers are part of the problem but the real problem is most store only receive about half the deliveries they normally get.
What better way to get the customer to the story every day to see if shelves are re stocked,Know a driver for Von’s and he said his trailer isn’t maxed out now.

The media’s job is to give us facts, not pacifications, and not sensationalism. Though they are given to sensationalism because it sells.

I’m not watching the MSM, except to the extent it gets posted here. But I’ve not seen a lot of sensationalism.

Here at FR, I’ve seen people with facts, and people trying to placate others with false facts. The latter group accuses the first group of fear mongering. But I’ve not seen a lot of fear mongering.

The USS has 67.

Well,the one aspect of MAGA the left was going to have a hard time to defeat was the historically excellent economy. The economy is now dead and an incredible gift to the left. The left dreamed of this and they must be ecstatic. It will be very hard for any President to recover from this (to be re-elected) as the country very well may never recover fully (as founded). The media is pushing the crisis.

I’m watching Washington, the first locale in the US to blow up.

Total recoveries in USA: 147

Recoveries in Washington alone: 124

The daily case data is confusing because of when and how states report, but it looked like Washington had a drop in new cases yesterday. Will be watching that with interest going forward.

Our “elite” in NM are already talking about holding the next election by mail.

Can’t think of a more sure way to steal an election and thwart the will of the people - of course it’s for our protection. (hit W)

You in NM might also be aware that there hasn’t been a coal train come through in days. I live in Larkspur, Colorado. We’re the “hump” trains have to go through to get out of the mountains and into the flatlands of NM and Texas.

Coal trains come through a dozen or more a day to feed our southern States and Mexico. There hasn’t been a train in days, perhaps since Tuesday. This could cause electricity shortages as power plants run short of coal. We did have a blizzard yesterday and trains tend not to run at that time, but we got minimal snow and the tracks are clear, but the trains stopped running days before the blizzard.

So explain to me why some buyers are filling their carts to the brim with TP? What is their fear? We will run out of trees to make paper? Covid-19 lockdown will last 6+ months?

I am afraid you may be right. President Biden will be held in awe by the media for having cured covid-19 and restored the country back to health.

Reminds me of some of the 24 hour hurricane coverage we get. There’s a reporter standing in every puddle saying “Well, Jim, the winds weren’t as bad as we expected, but the storm surge might still kill us all”....updates every fricken 15 minutes.
