A reality check on the corona virus reactions.

If supply cannot meet demand, that is by definition a shortage.

No reason to play semantics. You KNOW what Im talking about. The demand is only this high because of panic buying when there is no need for it. I encourage everyone to buy as they normally would, do that and full shelves will return as there is more than enuff for everyone. Or....... people can continue to act like idiots and cause the empty shelves which in turn means someone goes without.

You'll forgive people for panicking as we enter the 2nd Great Depression. What was originally proposed as a 2 week quarantine is now at least 1 month for all affected and some have no specified end date at all.

Handle it however you want I guess. No skin off my ass. Me and mine could live for 3 months right now with just what we have on hand. But we did things differently, planned ahead, a little at a time. We were stocked and loaded long before there was any talk of viruses.

What happens in 3 months and you're still under quarantine?
 
While I AM NOT saying that precautions shouldn't be taken regarding Covid-19, I can't help but look at the sheer numbers and come to the conclusion that the vast majority of the near hysteria prompted by our state and local governments is over-rated. Check this out:

A state-by-state breakdown of US coronavirus cases

I'm willing to discuss this rationally with anyone who is willing to put grudges aside.

I agree with you; but it is YOUR side on the left that are creating the hysteria. ;)

Here's what you said during a far worse epidemic during Obamunsim; were you wrong back in 2009?

The worldwide death toll from this particular strain wasn't even enough to rate a percentage point as to how many people DIE annually in the USA from flu viruses that have been with us ever since I can remember.

Interesting that time tested cures and remedies have to wait YEARS before the FDA decides that they can market with declarations of they cure.....while suddenly VACCINES are being rushed through for the N1H1....a flu viruse that compared to others is NOT even exceptionally lethal.

As the old saying goes, follow the money!
 
Awakened to what, by your standards? It's the administration you endorse who is pushing this. And objective analysis does not take political sides (or at least it shouldn't).

How is this the Trump Administration that is pushing hysteria? You think you can have everything BOTH ways don't you? :rolleyes:
 
Nope, it's federal.....who have near daily press conference telling the world who is in charge, leading the pack. Sometimes us old heads refer to the federal gov't as "the state" and lump in local gov't as state, county, city.

The fed can only assist. The Governors of each state are in charge. :rolleyes: We still don't live in a Fascistic third world shit hole leftist dictatorship. ;)
 
I have repeatedly said that the panic and hoarding is ridiculous and unmerited

I believe the reason COVID-19 is substantially different than the common cold is that it has potential to overwhelm the healthcare system. The rate of infection, the fraction of patients requiring hospitalization, and the mortality rate are substantially higher than common influenza strains, according to the medical experts.

And yet, it did not overwhelm China which was the epicenter and a third world shit hole. ;)
 
The first US case was reported on Jan 20, 2020 54 days later 25 Mar 2020 there are 54,428 confirmed cases in all 50 states.
I would hardly call our response Federal and local an hysterical over reaction oh I have never heard a 90% death rate.

What is 54,428 divided into 308 Million?

What is 544 divided by 308 million?

The virus was identified in the US on January 14th. It's been 71 days with no significant numbers of deaths so far. I think it is safe to say that this has been way overplayed. Particularly by the left, the PHONY media and the Democratic Party of the Jackass.

There are no shortages. I am in the grocery industry. The only problem is that the hoarding overwhelmed supply lines. If people would stop panicking and acting like hysterical lemmings, there is plenty for EVERYONE. ;)

This isn't about supply and demand; it is about hysteria promoted by a media and political party that don't give a shit about anything but political power.
 
That isn't ever going to occur. Take a deep breath; have another toke and we will wake you up when it is all over and the world didn't end. ;)

Haw, haw..................................haw.
 
So tell that to all the people that may lose their jobs, houses, relationships and maybe take their own lives. Only a heartless cunt would say such an evil thing.

If it is necessary for you to think of me as a "heartless cunt" in order to feel good about the horse shit you are spouting...please feel free to do it with my blessings.

I am simply inviting you assholes who think there is nothing wrong with simply lifting the quarantines against the advice of goddam near every medical specialist...to LEAD THE WAY. If you are so sure this will not lead to worse things...just do it.

What could possibly go fucking wrong?

Wrong! The first case was identified on Jan 20th! What is 5428 divided by 54 the average is more than 100 per day. As to the death rate we are lucky so far there have been 824 deaths or 1.5% of those infected. I really do not understand how you can down play the seriousness of this. Shit man our medical people along with the medical people around the world all agree! I guess you know something the medical community and the rest of us don't. Let me guess you think this is a scam.
