KANSAS CITY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HEARTLAND CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK!!! OFFICIALS CONTINUE BEGGING PUBLIC TO OBEY SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES!!!
Wonderful weekend weather brought hundreds of people to Kansas City parks who seemed unwilling to keep distant from each other during a historic pandemic.
Meanwhile, local cases continue to climb . . .
Missouri creeps toward 1,000 COVID-19 cases
The Johnson County, Kansas, Department of Health and Environment said there are now 108 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the county. The new numbers push the statewide Kansas total to 329 cases.
Noteworthy Navy Vet passing:
Missouri COVID-19 victim identified as MO Democratic Party county chairman
KCMO last reported 77 but that number is expected to spike as well . . .
Meanwhile, here's the local lament about the lack of distancing:
New worries about social distancing emerge as people flock to Kansas City metro parks and ignore signs
Developing . . .
The trouble is at a lot of parks the trails are too small for two to four people to pass each other without getting closer. I don't think so many people are being negligent, there's just not enough room.
ReplyDeleteThey're going to have to set up new rules for the parks.
Delete^^^ +1
DeleteQuit going to the fucking park. It's full of chomos anyway.
Delete6:24 common sense would dictate that someone would show some common courtesy and step off the sidewalk and let them by, just like driving down a side street, you pull over and let them by. The problem here is stupid people, plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteThere is no coronavirus pandemic. It’s all a Democrat hoax. Even if it was real, Trump has it under control. The Administration has the virus airtight, or nearly airtight. Now is a great time to get into the stock market. #nero
ReplyDeleteHey cool yet another fearmongering entry!!!!!!! ! You just can't stop, can ya buddy!!!!!!!!!!! How many exclamation points can you use before you run out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletep.s. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fearmongering???
ReplyDeleteDid you listen to your president today.
Trump finally said projections were for 2.2 million deaths in the US.
I know he previously said the number was going to zero very soon and it would disappear by April like a miracle. But he has now changed his mind. This just might be serious. Look into it.
The "president" is a big fat liar, 6:58. He claimed that it was contained in America when it was actually spreading. He claimed that we had “shut it down” when we had not. He claimed that testing was available when it wasn’t. He claimed that the coronavirus will one day disappear “like a miracle”; it won’t. He claimed that a vaccine would be available in months; Dr. Fauci says it will not be available for a year or more.
DeleteYou can't trust a thing he says. President Stooge.
Dude, 1000 cases for a state of 6,500, 000 people. Assume 4% mortality (it's likely less), that means 40 dead, with at least over half being over 65. It's hard to scare people with a reality like that.
ReplyDeleteHey @6:47, it's not TKC''s fault that you're afraid. The numbers he is linking are real. If you're so scared of exclamation points. Go read the star. That is boring enough to calm your gentle nerves.
ReplyDeleteThink about it!
ReplyDeleteThere is a virus but it's being blown up bigger than it really is. Most of the people who have died have had other problems and are old. I've seen old people die of the flu and cold for years. It happens. By all means stay away from others and wash like they say, this thing will pass, but they are going to use it to make Trump look bad just like that kook Kathy Griffin just did. She lied and was told by the hospital to go home. She had a construction mask on like the kind you get at home depot or lowes. Democrats have use it to try and get money for planned parenthood and tried to kick the airlines while they were down by trying to pass restrictions on their emissions, among other things which have nothing to do with this virus.
756 dead in Italy yesterday (down from the day before), translates to roughly 4,000 dead on a comparable future day in USA.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be an annual rate of 1.5 million deaths in USA.
Of course, that's presumably a temporary peak rate with a decline once the peak is traversed.
But when the daily deaths in USA go to the thousands, it'll be eye-opening to the naysayers. Or not.
some community officers from the police should walk around gently encouraging social distancing.
ReplyDeleteNice try, 6:44, but no cigar. Go back to Creative Writing 101 and this time try to learn something.
ReplyDelete7:28 nobody is buying your bullshit, bye bye Millie! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I left out tick tock Millie!
ReplyDeleteThe Dems and the lackey media have outlawed and demeaned an effective treatment that should tell any thinking person what this is all about.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, anyone who still thinks this is some kind of conspiracy to get Trump is just being willfully ignorant.
ReplyDeleteThis is real. Real people are dying all over the world.
Is this "effective treatment" being used by any other country? And how are the "Dems" & America's media controlling the whole world?
Stop being so parochial. It's a PANdemic.
Media hysteria. Turn ABC, CBS, NBC off.
ReplyDelete@7:57 are you talking about the Aquarium Cleaner?
ReplyDeleteLet us know, or have your heirs let us know how that worked for you!
"Hey cool yet another fearmongering entry!!!!!!! ! You just can't stop, can ya buddy!!!!!!!!!!! How many exclamation points can you use before you run out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletep.s. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And yet 6:44 didn't use any exclamation points. Very weird.
Hey bLIEron, it’s called a panda-demic, get it yet? Didn’t think so because you being you and all. Panda’s are from China! This Panda-Demic was caused by China! Hahahahaha! I know how sensitive you are to the lying Chinese communist regime that you would try to protect over that mean old racist USA, so stay safe and don’t catch the Kung fu flu!
ReplyDeletePlease don't, the only guy who did hilarious racist Chinese jokes was chuck and he's dead.
ReplyDeleteHave some respect for the dead.
.....Hey everybody.....6:44 says the virus is over!
ReplyDeleteSince they're obviously a world class MD....they must be right.....
Call trumpooper and tell him the good news.....and Malaria too....she'd care.
......yeah right!
total pantload!
9:04 that’s comedy gold right there!
ReplyDelete9:11 you lost this round, thanks for playing though! Hahahahaha!
The huge problem is many people have pre-existing conditions and do not know it. Those conditions could turn a fairly mild illness into death. Many people when told they have cancer have the exact same response, "but Doctor, I have never had cancer before". That is true, but "things change". You have a slight unknown heart issue, a minor lung infection, a blood sugar out of balance or the start of a cancer you don't yet know about - well your immune system is already wrecked. If everyone living were 20 and in perfect health we would have no deaths worldwide, just a few sniffles. But people aren't 20, and many have not seen a Doctor for years to get a physical. I would tell people to be very careful. I am.
ReplyDeleteThe President needs to keep panic down. Even if it is deceptive. Example: "Don't worry, WW1 shall be over by Christmas so all you soldiers can go home then, you won't die". Don't worry about the outdoor nuclear bomb tests near Las Vegas, watch for them as they will be quite a sight to be seen! Imagine if you told the truth - people would not do as you want.
ReplyDeleteHere is the truth Trump's not stating : If your a smoker the virus will kill you fast, if you had any kind of transplant, it will kill you fast, if your on chemo for cancer and get it, then the outcome is bleak. He can't say those things cause people would go nuts! Better to let the virus ride out through society, and smokers get sick but they wont feel like causing any trouble as they will be way to weak. If people knew they were going to die in 1 to 2 months - they would do some pretty nasty stuff. What should Trump do - tell certain groups they are gonna die?
ReplyDeleteAnyone that believed Trump's comments that all is well and under control did not watch the news about China. China built a huge hospital to house thousands in 4 days! From a dirt parking lot to full solid building hospital in 4 days. That would tell you something. You owe it to yourself to watch the world news. Not the hopeful kindly thoughts of a President up for re-election.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe anything Ch8na says at this point you need your head examined.
DeleteI think a park or sidewalk is about the only safe place to go. Just keep a good distance from others and if the sneeze into your wind direction, hold your breath the till you have passed that area. Or just wear a mask. The chomos were everywhere even before this happened. But there are going to be a large number of famous people get sick and start dying in the next week - so Trump wants to keep the panic down. Bet alot of actors and actresses aren't with us next year. Sad.
ReplyDeleteWell Tamiflu does work on the Coronavirus. It should not. But for reason unknown it does. But the active ingredient of it comes from China (anise).
ReplyDeleteMayor Selfie needs to do something other than say "please". Sad state of leadership. If he cannot lead the initiative, create a committee and assign a leader.
ReplyDeleteSOCIAL DISTANCING EFFECTIVE OR SOOTHING?
ReplyDeleteShoppers, etc.. do not remain stationary.
Questions, If we are to maintain a social distancing space of 6 feet and droplets of the virus can stay in the air for minutes/hours, what happens when we move into the space previously occupied by others?
Social distancing - new tests show it should be 12 feet between people. MIT did the study. There is a MIT infa-red video of 2 people speaking about 6 feet apart and particles from their mouths are literally spraying each other. And they are not coughing. Just talking. That why there is 61 doctors dead in Italy alone.
ReplyDeleteCoronavirus is small enough to "ride" on the particles of cigarette smoke. So if someone infected is smoking, and you smell their smoke -the virus has entered your nose. It can also travel on dust, odor particle vapors from fast food smokestacks, etc.
