News Is coronavirus a wild card?

Gonna take 20 times that at billions per death.

 

You meant 86K per year.

 

lol. Now we are up to 800k deaths?


There aren’t even 100k deaths globally. There are 75k global death a since Jan.

 

I just went to the store, no mask, don't want one, don't need one

 

First off by current count estimates corona virus wont kill 250000 people in the us this year. Dont know where you get your 800000 number. But here you go champ. Sorry its only 17 not 20 at least by wiki, btw meningitis will kill more.

 

I cannot take credit for this. It was compiled from CDC tweets but thought I would share it with you:


I was tired of hearing how Trump called the virus a hoax and “did nothing” until March.... So I did research. Here’s the real timeline of what happened (all of this BEFORE we had even one death in the US) :
1/6 CDC issues travel advisory for Wuhan.
1/11 CDC tweets about corona related “pneumonia outbreak in China”
1/14 WHO tweets that there is no evidence of human to human transmission.
1/17 CDC started doing health screenings at 3 airports of travelers from China.
1/21 first case in US for someone who traveled directly from Wuhan.
1/23 WHO again says no human to human transmission outside of China.
1/27 WHO raises alert level but is still saying China has it contained.
1/28 CDC states “ While CDC considers covid a serious situation and is taking preparedness measures, the immediate risk in the US is considered low.”
1/29 White House announces Coronavirus Task Force created. Note - this is despite the WHO downplaying the threat!
1/31 Trump bans travel from China.
Media and multiple Democrats slam his decision calling it racist/xenophobic.
2/5 Trump acquitted (impeachment).
2/5 Chuck Schumer in a tweet continues to call Trumps’ travel ban from China “premature.”
2/7 White House’s Coronavirus Task Force gives press briefing.
2/9 White House Coronavirus Task Force meets with all governors regarding virus.
2/12 CDC waiting for approval from Chinese for CDC team to travel to China.
2/18 HHS announces partnership to develop vaccine.
2/21 Italy identifies its very first case in their country.
2/21 CDC tweets that it is working with States for preparedness.
2/24 Trump sent letter to Congress asking for $25B for virus effort.
2/24 Nancy Pelosi made a stop in Chinatown and encouraged people to “please come and visit and enjoy Chinatown.”
2/25 there is still no reported community spread in the US!!! (Per CDC tweet.)
2/27 first community transmission in US.
2/27 Trump appoints Pence to coordinate efforts.
2/29 FIRST reported Covid19 death in US.
It is helpful to look at the actual timeline. All of this happened BEFORE the 1st death in US.

 

Please. No facts that don't support blame Trump for everything.

 

And .... March 16, things started shutting down, emphasizing social distancing, etc., and New York hadn’t even got going good yet. ....... AND YET, Democrats and Never Trumpers alike , posting biased News Articles about Trump wasting months. .... all a bunch of liars, all Fake News. ... the reference to the new Hoax.

 

Math schmath

 

Dunno if I ever said, but I am a regional EH&S Manager for an aerospace manufacturer. One of my BU's just had an employee test positive. So I'm full battle rattle for the next 2 days. Up till now, it was just a thing. Now its a fuck ton of effort. On top of all the effort exhausted up till this point.

Wish I was in Montana
