    I was wondering why he posted that chart as evidence.

    You are quoting proof (South Korea is numerically doing a much better job) and I provided proof on the first death a week ago as well.

    I posted in response to a question about whether the rate of infections was increasing or decrease in South Korea.

    Yes, last year. Many areas, including mine here in NW Louisiana, shut schools down for a week because of the flu outbreak.

    1100 in a month is wrong.

    When was the first known case of person to person transmission based on unknown contact?

    You’re failing math today. Figure out what percent die, then get back to me.

    I can see why he's a Biden supporter. Biden got a big majority of the uneducated.

    Lefties prep with toilet paper, righties prep with MREs and ammo, ROFL.


    My leftie friends are starting to get pissy on Facebook, now that this hysteria is personally effecting them. What do you mean if my kid comes home from college for spring break he can't go back for two weeks? What do you mean the stores are running out of cleaning supplies?? OMG THERE'S NO TOILET PAPER!!!! Why is everyone so hysterical about this stupid coronavirus?!?!? (I kid you not, they're saying that now.)

    It makes sense if you think about it.

    They can both cuddle it in lieu of a spouse and cry into it at the same time.

    Very absorbent.

    If the poorly educated meant the left, trump wouldn’t have professed his love for them

    I was downtown looking to contract me the corona virus and heard a advertisement on XMS that channel 121 is now free to anyone with a radio and discusses COVID-19 24 hours a day now.. It was pretty good, reassuring and far less tragic then what these forks here and on the media are shoveling, also mentioned during real doctor interviews..

    They are pretty much saying what most common sense people are saying.. Predicting is useless because there hasn't been enough complete data to draw ANY KIND of accurate conclusion or predictions..

    One thing that was interesting was how one scientist was touching on how the death rates and spread % were totally wrong simply because of skewed calculation within country with greater infected like China and smaller countries with less infected. China so far returns a death rate under 1% because size of population.. Most scientist agreed that the MSM is fueling undue panic and fear..

    Another item discussed was spread, COVID has a 1 person infecting 1 1/2 person transmission rate whereas the common flu and the one that killed 80k in 2018 had a 1 to 3 person transmission rate.. And the Spanish flu was 1 to 7 transmission, and measles is 1 person infects 10 people and so on..

    Pretty interesting pretty much makes what we are reading here look like absolutely unhinged rambling of the very uninformed.. Like I say, if you have XMS tune in, it's been activated even if you don't have the radio activated..

    Governor Newsom of California who hates Trump has praised his handling of the coronavirus.

    That's because he knows what might happen if the hyperbolic left is whipped up in to a full blow panic.. He lives among the most volatile nest of reactionary leftist in America, and he has seen them burn, loot and destroy large parts of cities for far less bullshit then what we are currently witnessing from the MSM and the banter we are reading here..

    The democrats are like chicken little.
    They always think the sky is falling.

    Maybe they should open their eyes and see that they are nominating a presidential candidate with dementia.

    By asking irrelevant questions, you're attempting to dismiss what is happening.

    The questions you should be asking are...

    1) How many open beds does Italy have remaining.

    2) What are they going to do when they run out of beds.

    Thankfully Italy went into lockdown or the virus would have continued to spread. You will see deaths in Italy continue to rise over the next few days, but only because our testing measures are almost a week behind actual cases.

    We saw this play out in Hubei already, the numbers are already there for us to see. I'm not sure why you dont believe it.
