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

Hold on now. What if taking early precautions, such as what Trump did, is the real reason for the low fatality numbers? You don't wait until widespread death to do anything about it. Considering the high death counts in China and Italy I think we can safely assume that we are managing this outbreak effectively.

Yeah, but op didn’t call out the management, he’s calling out people’s reactions in spite of the management.

They wanted to get as many infected so that each person could be used as a bioweapon.

Why? Because Trump trade war make China asshole.

Personally I believe one of the scientist their released it on purpose, because he new china was making a bioweapon. It is the same scientist that they killed off.

I read somewhere (sorry, no link because I’ve been to too many sites at this point) that a lab worker there had been arrested for selling lab animals and had made quite a bit of money on the side. Makes more sense that the virus got out that way than a deliberate release into their own population. Though they do kill prisoners for organs, so who knows?

Unfortunately for the prisoners, they don't kill them first

Oh man. Ohhhhh man. That just made me think of something.

Remember Benghazi? Can you imagine how poorly Hillary would have handled this situation? We'd all be dead while she calls us racist for not wanting to import sick Chinamen lol.

If that many people died in my town from this, I doubt anyone would even notice
