If people will not wear masks and gloves when they are out in public, shopping, getting

their supplies, and such, the USA and Canada will continue to have new cases spring up, as the masks may not protect the wearers, but those around them.

 I do hope people in these two countries get serious, or North America will otherwise have the most deaths in the world, especially in the senior centres, where it already is a completely horrible tragidy.

Geezer

 

I don't know many people around here that are willing to wear gloves and masks for the rest of their lives.

 

There is also a cultural problem. Many of the younger people feel that the older generation has stolen their dreams. The millennials and Gen Z are not that sympathetic. They simply aren't afraid of catching it and do not care if they spread it. You have a younger generation that wants change at any cost and stands to inherit a fortune. Now don't come to me and attack me I am not saying it's right. It is what it is.

Why crying dick do you think this will last that long?  I really think that there will be a vaccine in less than two years, I do.

You caught me in an edit reread my post. We can't stay in hiding for two years there is nothing left anyway at that point. We have months to rebuild or modern society is finished.

Oh bs no one has stolen anybody’s dreams they have to work

So this is what scares me. You have a biological agent of warfare easily obtainable by anybody. Imagine people like antifa start going around and spreading it maliciously. Scary thought right? Idiots are already being arrested for publicly coughing and sneezing on things. 

 

What happens when somebody is infected and deliberately and methodically contaminate those they oppose? Just like many wildfires are arson there are going to be outbreaks of this virus that are created by design and not a random mishap.

Yes, because a country on the other side of the planet should have the same response to a disease spreading as a country 200 miles from the source country. LOL

Indeed, as evidenced by several police outfit saying they're gonna get tough on Christians going to church, yet no mention of getting tough on Muslims going to their mosques.

which police outfits?  where?  and what did the public announcement specifically state?  did it say no christian services, no church services, or no religious observances?

 

did this occur in a region with few, if any, mosques?  is this area overwhelmingly christian, so that the official stating "no church services" believed that covered the entire population?

 

was this a direct result of certain pastors publicly stating they would not obey the stay-at-home orders, but would instead have hundreds or even thousands packed into their churches?

Well yes...the airlines are a mass transportation system and have certainly turned the planet into a small world.

So now you're saying Trump didn't impose travel restrictions soon enough. OK, on what specific information would you have expected them to put them in place sooner? Be careful, I've got the Google.

Jan. 30: 7 cases confirmed in U.S. 

U.S. has a "very little problem" with five cases

• On this day, the World Health Organization declares coronavirus a public-health emergency. [LEFT OUT BY MSM: W.H.O. SAID NO NEED TO BAN TRAVEL FROM CHINA***] "We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we're working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it's going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you," Mr. Trump said at a speech at a Michigan manufacturing plant.   

Jan. 31: 8 cases confirmed in U.S. 

President Trump bars many travelers from China, and U.S. declares a public health emergency. 

Feb. 5: 11 cases confirmed in U.S. 

President Trump is acquitted after impeachment trial in the Senate.

Factual information some will quickly erase from their minds. Trump, in the middle of a historic and bitter impeachment trial, took time to protect the US by implementing a travel ban that the deceptive WHO said you don't need.

I’m not going to attack you CD, I’m going to poke a hole in your comment:

 

It’s a gross negative generalization and like all gross negative generalizations it’s weakness is it’s it’s inherent bias.

 

To speculate why you make such negative gross generalizations might be grounds for you to believe I’m attacking you, so I’ll leave it to you to ask yourself why you make such generalizations and ponder how you would feel if you where to object of similar negative gross generalizations.

Travel bans may be very ineffective. And no, not left out by MSM. Why the insertion of opinions in an attempt to provide facts?

 

Why don't you mention US inaction till 45 days after WHO warning and China 'travel ban'?

 

Impeachment totally irrelevant.

America has become a sh**thole country, thanks to the takeover and disemboweling of government by the Republican Party and Trump.

I still don't understand why countries like India, compared to how ppl live together in the US, have these low numbers.

 

I do understand it has to do with testing and 'real' numbers ... but still ... that massive of a difference? So hard to believe or digest all that.

I'd say that Yanks are generally a bunch of obese fatties eating lots of unhealthy food causing lots of health issues, compared to a country like India where you aren't filled with a country of fatties.

At first glance, I would say yes, you could be right.

 

Then again, look at the Germans, what a fat beer belly nation is that, also a lot of unhealthy food. 

And they have a low rate of death compared to such a high number of infections.

(But they also test a lot. I've read last week around 350k a week, 50k people per day, hence high numbers of infections).

No. A Constitutional statement would have been to warn about any religious or social gatherings rather than just target Christians. Obviously, you know this and are being silly. And that is OK. But let's also keep it real, yes?

It’s EASTER. Which bit of other religions don’t celebrate Easter aren’t you understanding? Or are you just desperate to be the victim, another trait of the great leader.

Thanks for that chart ... interesting to see this listing.

 

I guess that answered my question about India ... 

 

(although it's a 2009 chart, I guess not much has changed in 2020, if not, only got worse)

Could it be because trump initially rejected guidance from his health advisers...

 

Prominent US public health adviser Dr Anthony Fauci appeared on Sunday to confirm a bombshell New York Times report which said he and other Trump administration officials recommended the implementation of physical distancing to combat the coronavirus in February, but were rebuffed for almost a month.

Is he employed by the federal government? If so, he's going to get fired.

NY alone has more cases than any country. Slice up and manipulate the numbers all you want,  but you can't avoid that glaring stat. 

Yes that is certainly true.. but if talking about US as a country then its not that bad NY is bad. But part of the problem is that people live really close together im sure that in some towns in texas with your next door neighbor miles away its harder to get the virus unless your a religious nut and visit church or go to a mosk ect.

Everyone feels it is over-blown. Just for reference 80,000 died of flu in 2018. But the panic seems to be thousand time of 2018. 

I don't see anyone panic.

Not everyone feels it is overblown.Look at the US,lots of people are finally taking

this serious.Compare the use of masks now and a few weeks ago.

Tell me hoe many doctors died of the flu in 2018.
