This whole thing stinks to high heaven. At most so far 59 people have died, with most of them being in one nursing home in Kirkland WA. The media is fear mongering harder than ever to make orange man look bad. Schools and businesses are closing which is sure to send us into recession if not worse. Out of 330,000,000 people, 59 have died in the US and everything is screeching to a halt. Something isn't right here but it's fucking everything up. The economy was the best it's ever been in the history of our country and now everything is going to shit because of less than 100 deaths. More people probably die each year from skiing accidents. This is un fucking believable.
EDIT: I'm not saying this is a total hoax. I'm saying the media overreaction is making things way worse than they have to be. Panicking is never going to make anything better. If this is truly as bad as some of you are saying, I hope it justifies sending our economy into great depression 2 Corona boogaloo
It has shut down my entire fucking country. Iceland has like 400 sick. They cleared out colleges and banned public gatherings of more than a hundred people. There's something really wrong here and I can't put my finger on exactly what.
Friend of mine thinks they’re using this to usher in the one world government.
Hmm... if anything, the pandemic is a big argument against Globalism as a whole. The Globalist powers that be will really have to struggle in order to bend it to their benefit.
Wuflu is climate change 2.0.
I don’t buy that. If that was it, why not release a disease that actually kills a lot of people? The swine flu killed like a thousand times as many or something. This is just a hysteria and the hysterical should be brought to task for it.
They don't have to. This shit is going perfectly according to plan just by hyping up bad data and false models.
What better way to do it than a socially acceptable full government lockdown that destroys the world economy.
People are sheep. They want someone to take care of them. One lady was screeching about her grandma and how it was the government’s job to keep her safe. I just have a different mindset. If it’s my grandma, I am going to take responsibility for keeping her safe. I am not relying on the government to keep me healthy (I need to make good choices), feed my kids, pay for my utilities...
Me too. About 1000x more than coronavirus scares me.

I was thinking the same thing. They are constantly testing how much control they have. Take the boston bombing for instance, where they told all residents to stay in their homes for fear of being shot when the brothers were on the run...people complied. It was as if Red Dawn had happened and Russians were parachuting into every neighborhood.
Do that in the 50s and every American would have been outside with their gun. What happened to that American spirit?
The potential of this virus should scare you just as bad. With the way things are going right now I fully expect martial law to be enacted at some point. Too many people still want to downplay this, so they’re going to have to force people to act.
59 people you retard, more people have choked on a ribeye in the last few days
Every disease starts small. We don’t want NCov to turn into just another flu that comes back year after year but with a 10-30x higher death rate.
WTF did I just read?
The little proto-fascists are everywhere. Even on TD.
Probably a PLA shill
Public health agencies already have the power to forcibly quarantine someone with a contagious disease, especially one with no effective treatment. They do it for tuberculosis, and people have been arrested for defying it.
My county in Texas has imposed a home quarantine on about two dozen people, because they were either in a country with a COVID-19 epidemic, or were known to be in close contact with someone who tested positive. So far, all have either completed the 14-day quarantine without symptoms, tested negative after becoming symptomatic, or are still in quarantine. There have been no confirmed cases so far, and we are on the periphery of a major metro area.
The OP's point is that if the current measures (which are inconvenient, but not a "lockdown") don't work because people don't take them seriously, more restrictive measures will be implemented. What they will be or how they will be enforced is an open question.
Italy ignored the problem until it got out of control, and have had to resort to draconian measures. You can't leave your home except for necessities like food, medicine, etc. Spain, Lithuania, France, Poland and Norway have implemented similar measures, but not as restrictive.
We can avoid more restrictive measures, if we take the current ones seriously. Doing so will save lives. I explain the numbers here:

they’re going to have to force people to act."
Its for your own good we have to forcibly remove you from your home and put you in this quarantine camp.
spez: Until the next time "this is a really bad strain of flu we have to act". A year after that "the earth's climate is breaking, this is a climate emergency all the Western nations have to shut down for the next 3 months-China and India can carry on but all you white people in America and Europe are not allowed outside your homes".
"force people to act" ????
That is a Democrat way of thinking. Hey, don't talk that way or we will accuse you of a hate crime, shut down your business, etc. It's for the good of society. Ok, Mr. NPC. You do that.
The Worldwide Deep State pedofiles, money launderers are trying to escape justice. That's what is going on. If they can tank the WW economy and get rid of Trump they can continue fucking n killing children while stealing our tax dollars hand over fist!
Adrenochrome withdrawal is making them go crazier than usual.
ELI5 adrenochrome? I heard this thrown around in a couple dark corners of the internet but didn't care to look it up.
Elixir from the kidneys of babes, quaffed by the reptilians as an extender of days
They don't call him skippy for nothing. They need to trigger an adrenaline shot to the brain by scaring kids and then suck it out, blend it up and turn it into a slurpee cocktail called adrenochrome. Allegedly it makes you hallucinate Satan himself. Probably not a hallucination though.
Best way to get the DNA of everyone.
Your country doesn't want to be like Italy.
They ignored the problem until it got out of control. Now, they are having to decide who gets to live and who dies, because they don't have enough critical care resources for the critically ill.
My country is fucking retarded. There's nobody working. I have shit that needs to be done, and everyone here (SARS or not) takes off from work if they have the slightest sniffle, or simply that they got home too late the night before and didn't feel like coming in. There's not a hard worker in a hundred square miles. Except for Polish people, of course.
You are fucking batty if you believe that LOL. This is not the next plague. Take your meds.
You can read the news in Italy, and see for yourself.
Mass hysteria and poor self-care causes deaths? Oh man, is water wet as well?
