    No, actually that's what CNN is reporting.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/08/investing/oil-prices-crash-opec-russia-saudi-arabia/index.html

    Analysts said that Russia's refusal to cut production amounted to a slap to US shale oil producers, many of which need higher oil prices to survive.
    "Russia has been dropping hints that the real target is the US shale oil producers, because it is fed up with cutting output and just leaving them with space," analysts at energy consulting firm FGE wrote in a note to clients Sunday. "Such an attack may be doomed to failure unless prices remain low for a long time."

    And for the vast majority it will make you feel miserable for a couple of days at worst. It's only a problem for people who are already suffering from a medical condition or are too old to shrug it off. It's considered a low risk by our health ministry here. In fact, young people seems to be quite resistant to it.

    I would assume that the way I'm feeling about it is the most common. I'm not comfortable, I'm not scared, and I'm not worried. I feel the exact same way about it today that I did the first time I heard about it.

    Everyone should question him. The man has a documented history of lying ~14000 times since taking office.

    Is there a lie counter?

    Does it award double points for bigger lies? Like about cigar placement and getting arrested visiting civil right leaders in forging countries?

    Not sure where your "here" is. In the US, millions are "at risk", it's spreading and there's no vaccine.

    The "at risk" is, to me, who we should be worried about. It's gonna be hard to prevent spread because:

    The biggest challenge doctors are facing is telling the difference between a mild infection of coronavirus and a cold or mild flu, said Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

    "The symptoms of mild coronavirus infection are really no different than the symptoms of a cold or mild influenza,"


    Now, Ireland has cancelled all St. Patrick's day parades. Israel is imposing a 14 day quarantine on anyone entering the country.

    I'm in Quebec, Canada and I already posted the link to both governments position about the Covid-19 virus. Both considers it a low risk for all but those already suffering from a chronic respiratory disease or people with compromised imune system.

    I'm unsettled about what I think about it. Italy did have a spike of 97 deaths in 1 day from it. Doesn't sound so low-risk to me.

    You are in a much greater risk in places like Italy that are nearly as prepared to handle this sort of thing

    566 cases doesn't equal "spreading like wildfire." Will it? Possibly. I'm not saying it won't, but right now it's equivalent to adding one drop of muriatic acid to an Olympic size pool. We need to stay cautious and prepared, the best way you yourself see fit, and see where we're at on Monday of next week.

    Those are numbers according to the CDC for the 2019-2020 flu season. I would assume the doctors doing the testing can differentiate which type of flu each patient has, and if it is unrecognizable, they would know that as well.

    If that's how long it takes to find a vaccine. Better safe than sorry in my opinion.

    Is Joe going to take Hunter to another trip to his beloved China? The left are creating hysteria over nothing and wall street is still going along with it. All of sudden, oil prices are going way down. Isn't it cute, how the president's great economy will take a hit right before November? This deep state swamp needs to be cleaned out further after he wins his second term

    the problem is we don't have test kit to test how many are affected. 566 is the number we are sure, there could be a lot more, but we don't have enough test kit to do it. if you goto your local hospital right now to test for COV19, they will say they can't and don't have the resource to do so. also some ppl don't have symptom could also pass the virus too. its exponential growth. looking at china they have 90,000+ infected even with their total lock down of millions people. so we don't know how bad is gonna be, so the best way is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

    Documented by Politico? Hillary.com? MotherJones? Politifact? Snopes?

    Come on man. I really hope you don't honestly think he lies 13 times a day. There's no way in hell a republican president would ever get away with that.

    I like the way this was worded. Worded as if the test kits come straight out of the White House (IOW...Trump fail).
    That's funny ****. I don't care who you are!

    Yes, he objectively lies an average of about 13 times a day.

    And no, he does not get away with it except to the extent that his supporters continue to ignore or justify his lies.

    And let them watch some good 80's movies like Back to the Future, The Goonies, The Last Starfighter, Explorers, Star Wars, ET, Mac & Me, etc... That's almost as important as feeding them :clapping:
