    Yes, and furthermore I dont know how you step back from the precipice. Who is going to be the first one to say, all is well come back to school, work etc.? If you do and someone gets sick then your liability is through the roof.

    Gullibility and stupidity are driving this. This hysteria is directly related to how the Media is covering it. Could you imagine if we covered the flu like we are covering COVID19?? ..... posting up to the minute tally’s of infected, critical, and died? I have heard the multiple calls that this thing is more deadly than the Flu, but I’m just not seeing it. ... The COVID19 targets the same poor souls that the Flu does. So far in that race, COVID19 -38, Flu - 20,000+. It’s going to take one hell of a comeback for COVID19 to make a comeback on that score.

    Lol, this is with a Republican president and its insane. But your logic is it won't happen with another Republican president? Your logic is flawed from the get go. It doesn't matter who is the president, a pandemic is a pandemic. Panic is panic.

    et al
    And you guys keep focusing on the current numbers, its possibly mutating with each new patient. We know of two mutations, one less deadly and one more. The key is to stop it in its tracks before it becomes the killer like the Spanish flu. Its hard to know what is fact and what is fiction in our world. So better be safe than sorry.

    And I truly hope you guys are all correct, that this is media hype. I will eat so much virtual crow, but be damn happy about it.

    No, my logic is based on the fact that the panic is being fueled by a media that hates Trump. Last night was a great example. The actions Trump announced are necessary; unpopular, but necessary. I intentionally watched the address on CNN because I wanted to hear the reaction. Less than a minute after he was done, Acosta called him a xenophobe and the lead anchor (IDK his name) said he was looking for someone to shift the blame to. Their "medical expert" a couple of minutes later began criticizing him for not building new hospitals "like China has done." They built hospitals in a week? Care to speculate on the quality of those facilities? Then Don Lemon basically chewed out John Kasich for saying he thought Trump's statement was "fine." They are completely all in on playing politics with this and every issue; they have devoted themselves to the mission of beating Trump. If you don't see this, you're beyond reasoning with.

    I agreed with his move to close down travel, and yeah the idiots on those channels are talking to other idiots who watch cable news. I don't care what people say on CNN, people need to stop caring about what is on cable news. Cancel your fucking cable. Stop watching and cable entertainment news might just die.
