I am not advocating the avoidance of taking precautions. All I am saying is, that I tend to question the intentions of government and authority. That relates to any government, but especially this administration, that cannot be relied upon for fairness, decency, competence, talent, or honesty. Rarely is any governmental authority honorable and noble. A lockdown may have some wisdom at this moment. Maybe. Maybe not.
But there is no doubt we are seeing a massive over reaction over this. And there is no doubt, that the economic consequences will be infinitely greater than the death toll.
1. Millions will remain out of work for a long time to come.
2. Many will starve in nations like India, that do not have any real, or practical safety net. The $22 billion bailout is not enough there. How much of that money will actually reach those in greatest need? You have a nationwide lockdown, and hundreds of millions of people earning just $2 to $5 a day, in good times.
3. I do not see Thai tourism EVER recovering to the extent it was before. Why would they return? Why would the Chinese return like before? They will likely choose other nearby countries. It was declining already. Now? What impact will that have on the airline industry? The airports?
4. Will people return to the movie theaters like before? Concerts?
5. Will people be willing to travel as much as before? Where will they travel to?
6. Will people return to restaurants, and dine out like they did before?
There are an infinite number of questions out there, and they all remain unanswered.
This is not the zombie apocalypse, and there is no doubt that the panic, fear and precautions being taken are out of proportion to the risk, by a ridiculous degree.
congratulations.....you have just qualified to be a CNN panellist.
with your own dressing room and trailer.

COULD
Well, I think it could kill 3,345,654 people
Or maybe 32,456.
COULD...hardly the language you expect from a think tank.
Sounds like everyone has a right to air an opinion except of course Donald Trump.
Pffft!

Huh....the infection...including the measures taken to stop its spread, have been devastating.
Not a high consequence....jeez.

Sadly this event has exposed how easy it is to control the movements, actions and beliefs
of billions without firing a single shot.
Hope this isn't a trial run for something far more sinister.

Not sure how you worked out the WHO renamed it to deflect attention from that.

This guy was prescribed Tamiflu, Azithromycin and Hrdrochloroquine....by his doctor.....not Trump.
He also had to use some sort of nasal decongestant spray.
I wouldn't recommend you blindly follow his lead.
But if you have no choice....I know what I would do.

Harry & Megan left just in time.
Hope he recovers...would be a real bummer to check out when so close to the prize.

If Cuomo says re-open the economy wonder what new line of attack the Dems will drum up
against the Don. He's just swatting them away like flies these days. Winning.

Wow! That’s great news. So we now have a cure. Crisis over people. Thanks to the great stable genius over there in Retardistan (credit: John Cadogan). The best leader the world has ever had.
If you test positive and the Drs prescribe hydrochloroquine for you, feel free to refuse.

Christ man, I've never heard ANYONE ANYWHERE blame Trump for the COVID. Many have criticized his initial response and even today, blame him for giving out false info. That has nothing to do with the Chinese. You seem bent on hating the Chinese. How is that helpful?
what false info....they keep saying its false info...then in 48 hrs or so, turns
out its 100% correct.
They created a stink about his remarks on hydrochloroquine....Faucci called its success anecdotal...
turns out he was absolutely right...it has been successful.
They said his initial response to ban china and eu travellers was reckless and racist...once again he was right.
They have lost there minds over their hatred of a lawfully elected president.

Is this what you are referring to?
"An MSNBC network spokesperson said the network aired the briefing for more than an hour before cutting away "because the information no longer appeared to be valuable to the important ongoing discussion around public health.""
"Several people have criticized the administration’s daily coronavirus briefings for allegedly spreading misinformation and urged news networks not to show them live." https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/489150-white-house-hits-cnn-msnbc-for-cutting-away-from-coronavirus-briefing

Happy news...CNN and MSNBC have stopped airing Trumps press briefings on China Virus.
Happy because this means there is no reason to let their <deleted> journos in the room any more.
Sad because many Americans will miss the information and updates the briefing provides.
Guess they couldn't stand that his approval ratings on handling the crisis keep going up
due to the briefings.

I to think Biden would have listened to the experts and started acting in January stockpiling masks gowns gloves respirators he would have 10 s of thousands more tested by now and would have done a much better job of preparing the country for what’s to come he for 100% sure would not call it a republican hoax that I can assure you we would be in much much better shape if we had Biden in the whitehouse than trump
Biden would be infected by now....doubt he could withstand the virus
wafting off the Brazilian delegation...they are probably keeping him in some bunker somewhere
hooked up to a tank of oxygen, memorising whatever they want him to say next.

12 hours ago, bristolboy said:Actually, it's that nut job Trump who wants to give lump sums to everyone. Buying votes much? The Democrats prefer to target those who have lost their jobs. People who keep their jobs have no special need for the cash. At least not more than they used to. But those without a job risking losing everything. The money should be targeted at them.
And there should be strong provisions against using cash for buybacks. The Republican bill would allow Mnuchin to waife buyback provisions.
"Democrats have outlined a laundry list of objectionable provisions, arguing that the bill does not expand paid sick leave and actually caps how much employers have to pay.
A source familiar with the GOP bill text also said Republicans are “refusing to add strong worker protections” and have included language requiring companies keep employees “to the extent possible.”
...Democrats also wanted strong restrictions on corporations who take federal help, but the source said the GOP bill included “very weak” stock buyback restrictions that could be waived by Mnuchin."
More CNN fuelled nonsense.
Dems have voted against urgent relief because it didn't include:
Planned Parenthood funding
A bailout for the Post Office
Crippling new airline regulations
Solar & wind tax credits
Playing politics while Trump plays to beat this crisis.

I’ll grant you that, the Chinese likely mishandled the virus at the very beginning, whether to “save face” as you suggest or not I’m not willing to speculate. So, sure. Meantime, the US president downplays the virus for two months for political ends, then takes to calling it the “Chinese virus,” because it’s always easier to blame someone else than to address the issue head-on, and people like you lap it up. Meantime, a minister in a Southeast Asian country decides to blame white people for the virus, going so far as to say that white people don’t bathe often enough, thereby confirming the fact that no matter where you go in the world, you’ll find racists hiding under the rocks.
You’re more than welcome to “direct your anger” into any corner you wish, but given the relentless indifference of the virus itself, you’re only, to recast a crude expression, urinating in the wind.
Wow -- “woke-tards” -- cool! Did you make that up all by yourself?
another china apologist who thinks the China virus is all trumps fault...you would
probably love Italy's "hug a chinese and post it on instagram" initiative....see how that
worked out. Woke-tards are a threat to everyone and themselves.

Coronavirus could kill 81,000 in U.S., subside in June - Washington University analysis

you need to stop spewing these crappy urls from dodgy sources...
when assessing trump news the smartest thing to do before reacting is to wait
48 hrs....it will usually be reported as misinformation.
This seems like a classic case of made up nonsense...the kind you like to traffic in.
