The social distancing rules are very important and I hope that more people start to pay attention. So many folks want to be cute about ignoring this but it's for their own protection.
ReplyDelete^^^ Kind of like the face touching thing for a lot of people. Most don't realize they're breaking the rules and are compelled to get close to other people.
DeleteAccording to the data I’ve been seeing, it’s only a matter of days, or hours, until nearly everyone on earth is infected and is either dying in agony and alone or suffering mild, common cold-like symptoms, or absolutely no symptoms whatsoever.
ReplyDelete^^^ helpful and dumb!
DeleteFor people who don't think this is serious:
ReplyDeleteItaly announces 627 coronavirus deaths in 24 hours
It is serious.
@5:03 PM I wonder if there is something wrong with the way the physicians are treating people to cause that kind of death rate.
ReplyDeleteYes something is wrong, Trump spent months lieing to protect the stock market instead of getting government agencies ready to help hospitals treat people.
DeleteSoon or later people are going to be questioning this shit when the first pics of smiling and tanned millionaires and billionaires and media tycoons sipping umbrella drinks and partying in some lagoon start showing up.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the NEW America. Yes we will get our two thousand dollars but each of us have given them tens of thousands of Dollars. In the future it will be higher taxes even local taxes higher utilities insurance ect.And the higher paying jobs will disappear. Unless you have your own Business. And a business that meets peoples,needs. Fewer demand for large ticket,items There will be so many people unemployed they will take what they can at lower wages. If you take care of Business and stay out of debt you will be fine. If you accumulate a large amount of debt IT will be he'll for you. Welcome to the new America.
ReplyDeleteHalf the people don't even pay taxes!

ReplyDeleteAs of today — Friday March 20, 2020, there are 100 times more flu deaths this season than coronavirus deaths!
** 230 coronavirus deaths
** 23,000 flu deaths
The American public is being misled by our Demosleazeball elites.
Poor doggy will be on the Hong Kong Buffet tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who watched Trump's Campaign Rally, today, knows that Vice President Pence needs to invoke the 25th Amendment & remove Trump from office.
ReplyDeleteHe is clearly deranged & unfit.
ReplyDeletethe Trump administration isn’t messing around => IRS moving tax filing date, DOD moving hospital ships, SBA issuing disaster declarations, DOE deferring student loan payments w/o penalty or interest, and FDA fast tracking drugs. Testing kits and PPE being ramped up, and much more.
Trump 2020!
"He is clearly deranged & unfit"
ReplyDeleteHave you looked in the mirror lately?
^^^ bLIEron just talks trash against anything good, but yes, blieron is mentally unfit and deranged. His family even knew it the day he was born, that’s why they don’t have anything to do with him, hell, his family loves Gloria so that tells you something right there.
ReplyDeleteThis shut down crap isn’t about US - it’s about fear by elected governors and mayors. They have the police power to end our lives and destroy our constitution- and they are using it. But not to save us, but themselves.
ReplyDeleteThey shut down jobs quick. I wish they were just as quick to provide relief to workers who they displaced. That will take weeks. So much for the government making the situation better.
ReplyDeleteFirst KC Boomer says bye bye. More to come. Tick tock.
ReplyDeleteYou dumb piece of shit! An 80 year old is not a "boomer". Idiot.
Delete^^^ you’re next, tick tick, tick tick!
ReplyDeleteEastern Jackson county isn’t kc dummy, but that’s what should really worry you
ReplyDeleteOn an interesting side note, the three dimwit counties account for about half the confirmed cases, hows that dimwit run government working out for you!
ReplyDeleteLooking like it’s terribly unsafe to live in dimwit cities or counties right now, not that it wasn’t already, you’re gonna die one of two ways there, by negro or the wuhan virus.
the cure is worse then the disease they did not have to kill the economy too, but want to control through fear
ReplyDeleteNot true but go ahead and think what you want or, what the fake news tells you
