This is a flu post, partner. Nobody makes you read them. Banning shit is for weaklings who can't argue their positions. Talking about something isn't necessarily fear mongering, but I guess we're lucky to have you to make that decision for all the rest of us.
This attack makes absolutely no sense. I'm merely reporting to the admins when a post egregiously is trying to astroturf this place into what the rest of the internet has become. If you can't see that a new poster with 5 posts all only talking about "muh Italy" is unsubstantiated fear mongering, then you're beyond help.
I appreciate that, and I definitely get riled up about censorship, too. My patience for astroturfing leftards who want to play legalese with our rules, however, has run out a while ago. lol
My definition of "new poster" here is someone who has five posts, literally all this morning, all saying just about the exact same thing. My assertion is in line with how T_D worked on just about a daily basis, so I can only assume you must be new here and were never there. The morning shill deportation is practically a tradition. Oh and the rules? They're on the sidebar!
Your insult attempt is weak and reeks of a lack of reading comprehension, or someone who last general cognition to understand context.
Everyone here is a new poster, including you. More than half your posts are about Coronavirus. The rest intermingled with praising "freedom" (but only the freedom you approve of) and calling your own family douchbag shills.
Do you not expect people to post on a current topic? You expect people not to talk about a Pandemic?
Where are the rules in the sidebar saying nobody can discuss the Wuhan coronavirus?
No-one signed up to come over here to be ruled by some emotional twat who's scared of a discussion. I heard r/pol is looking for moderators, you should apply.
We dont need concern trolls who are too stupid to utilize current data and believe everything the liberal media says. The fact you pussies are following us over here and bouncing on our dicks proves you are nothing more than pussies who needed us, and not the reverse.
This post did a great job at rooting out the Chicken Littles. There were 2 or 3 that I saw with accounts less than an hour old, with a dozen or more comments about how we're all gonna die. It doesn't seem to occur to them that coming here, of all places, and saying "the media is right" is going to fly like a lead balloon.
Wtf you talking about. The donald had a rule to ban leftists and concern trolls etc for years. Why would you think it wouldn't apply here. If you want your fill of concern trolls just sub to r/trump it's full of them.
It was basically the usual "we don't know what we don't know and we're the next Italy" stuff.. No shit, right? They're complaining they can't yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. What was extra baffling is the other TD people attacking me for thinking we shouldn't put up with that.
Somehow the precautions we're already taking, constant hand washing until my knuckles are bleeding from being so dry, and avoiding contact with everyone for 2+ weeks isn't enough for some people. They think we all have to collectively panic about it to get it to go away or something.
Good points, but to be fair, we should still be pro free speech. You don't want to become what you oppose. See - if somebody writes something silly or something you disagree with - debate him, insult him, troll him - but outright censorship is bad.
See it this way - assume you fight ideas. The only way to propagate your ideas and to defeat others is to talk. If you censor each other over words and bad ideas, people won't change their mind, and see you as intellectually intolerant - and thus have a reason to oppose Trump and his supporters because "look at them." We want us to look good - and in my opinion we do a pretty fine job at that.
Now the complication is this: Wanting to look good may goes contrary to the idea of free speech. Having fun and joking may yield offensive things and hurt weak people's feelings, but trying to moderate everything meticulously will kill the forum, make it sterile, less popular and boring. But how about this: The sheer fact that we have a high magnitude of free speech is the very thing that makes us appealing.
And if it means some (not too many, gotta maintain a concept of proper border control) leftists spew their crap and get verbally nuked - so be it.
True. Outright trolling is totally fine to be deported. If they come here to provoke and troll us, fire them to hell and beyond. But in this case the guy, whose message is now deleted, had a fair point in regards to free speech - even if slightly provocative.
For example if messages get downvoted into oblivion - make them hidden but expandable instead of being deleted. If they get downvoted even beyond another threshold, delete them. That would provide some level of user self-moderation, and give censorship a gradient.
hahahahah NOBODY wanted to look today! I can see Buffet and Powell and Sprecher in a conference call with a bunch of CEO's...
"Uh... Okay so..."
"Ahem, ah, yes well, I uh... there is a... uh... we should think about ah..."
(someone on conference call coughs)
"WELP. That's it, guess we should just shut er down and play xbox for the day, what say guys."
"Actually that's what I was about to suggest as well, Jay. Sounds good. Let's pull the plug on it. Anybody needs me, you can fuck off til Thursday. Call my secretary."
If you're stupid enough to lick doorknobs, you deserve to get sick. These people need to practice good hygiene. I don't think they ever have though, even before the coronavirus.
I mean, it's the biggest major incident in a LONG time. It's natural that people want to talk--and here, meme, which is our post-postmodern way of philosophizing--about it. I don't think it's that weird.
Are nefarious, bad-actor globalist types and DNC regulars secretly hoping they can turn it to their political advantage? Yea. But by the same token, name me something in recent memory that doesn't fit that bill.
In the end, with regard to our little digital kingdom, it's actually business-as-usual: deport the obvious Concerners, but don't lash out at people who just want to engage with this because you wish it weren't happening.
I'm not really worried about, shocked about it, or even upset about it. I would just like to see a bit less on the front page, since every person on this board knows the enemy of the people will never let a crisis go to waste.
I just think more of us, and by extension, more posts making it to the front page, should be asking what else is going on in the world.
People also want to see it here because this is the first major incident post-media awakening for many. It feels like you can't trust ANY org, so ofc pedes wanna see what their compatriots think and have analyzed on .win.
Agreed. It should be posts marveling over the USA's astonishingly LOW rates which are so low its not worth much of a story. Other than how low they are.
A part of me wants to believe that people are overreacting. Another part of me thinks about stories from Italy that are saying their health care system is overloaded because of this virus, that they are having trouble treating people, and how the whole country is on lockdown, making me think it's way more serious than any other disease I've seen in my lifetime.
I just know one thing, either it is serious or it isn't - regardless of where you live. If it is serious, then we better take it serious globally otherwise more countries are going to look like Italy very quickly.
Edit: Oh and I know there are definitely leftist assholes who see this virus an opportunity to prevent Trump's re-election, who actively want the economy to crash so they can blame it on Trump. But that doesn't tell us anything about how serious this virus is, for that it's probably best to look at other countries...
That's part of it. But, they are also seeing normally healthy people suddenly becoming critically ill.
Some of those may be a reprise of what happened with the "Spanish Flu" in 1918: most of the fatalities in the US were age 20-40. Researchers believe it may have been caused by what is now called a "cykotine storm": where a normal immune system overreacts and drowns the victim with their own fluids in their lungs.
Children hadn't fully developed their immune systems, and older people either had weakened immune systems or latent immunity from something similar that pre-dated the young adults.
The reason the spanish flu killed younger people is because it had a weaker run earlier in the season and older weaker people contracted it, survived, and built a natural immunity to the stronger coming virus. But the main reason it was so bad was WWI had everyone starving and trench warfare is a hyper breeding ground for the virus, then all the soldiers come home and spread it to their respective countries.
Yes, it was the second wave that was contrary to most flu epidemics. The current theory is that people in the trenches with a mild case stayed put, while the severe cases were sent to field hospitals, where it was spread further.
But, I was referring to why normally healthy people were vulnerable. The "cytokine storm" theory was developed relatively recently, after researchers transfected animals with the virus from frozen victims, and they suffered rapid progressive respiratory failure.
I can't find the article now, but yesterday I read one that reported some of the younger patients in Italy fit this model.
Yes, that's another reason. Due to socialized medicine limiting investment in infrastructure, Italy has less critical care beds per 1M population than most Western countries.
As a result, they are having to decide who gets life-saving critical care, and who is left to die:
This is what the Trump administration (and state governments) are trying to prevent. We have more critical care beds, but on average about 2/3rd of them are already occupied by people with other serious illness or injury. And those other serious illnesses and injury will continue to happen, and will compete with this virus.
Yep -- Italy welcome the dirty into their country and rolled around with them like they were groomed for it --- same with Germany and other high import zones, those numbers are under reported and no capacity to deal with this
I think it has more to do with not having enough qualified medical personnel to handle the really bad cases and they have a large elderly population. They are also a lot of people packed into a small country, relative to the size of the US.
Something I think a lot of people don't realize is that the really good doctors, the specialists that are great. They don't stay in countries with socialized medicine. They come to the US to work. The doctor that put in my PED was from Sweden. He's the Director of Interventional Radiology and a Professor at a prestigious uni in my state. He didn't stay in Sweden. He's a great doctor and he's here, saving lives in the US, not in Sweden.
Staff shortages are a big part, but certain equipment is in short supply.
Italy has reported that 10% of their hospital admissions that tested positive for COVID-19 have required mechanical ventilators, and they don't have enough.
The US reportedly has about 160,000. The UK is so worried they won't have enough, they are asking manufacturers to retool production lines to produce them.
Yes but Italy is the most extreme worst case scenario (outside of Wuhan) so it wouldn't be helpful to use that as the expectation.
The other thing is, for no good reason, way way too many people mistakenly believe Italy somehow started ahead of everyone else. They did not. The USA was 'seeded' the same time as Italy as were many others.
The USA is 'where Italy is' today. Italy isn't a glimpse into the future. It's running concurrently with most others and the USA.
One might say Japan and South Korea are ahead of others by maybe a week or two.
And it's not that serious unless you're old, frail, have a disease. It's very mild on children and the average adult (no preexisting lung illness) will just have a routine flu. Which does suck.
I'm a 'Suspected Case' here in Mainland China for what it's worth. They think I got it from a 5 year old little girl who did not actually get that sick herself but waiting to hear back from her father who had indeed been in Wuhan city a day before I was hanging around with him.
And it's not that serious unless you're old, frail, have a disease.
Honestly that doesn't make it much better. Sure, if you're young and healthy it's less scary. But what about the people who are not? They shouldn't die either.
You might not be at risk yourself, what about your parents for example? Maybe you only get mild symptoms yourself but your parents die or something like that...
Right that will be horrifying if all our parents die in disease and suffering however this is speaking to people who are young, healthy, no other serious diseases:
You aren't getting 'AIDS' and you are not getting a 'Zombie Infection' but rather what for most is a typical Flu. Which sucks but you had the flu before, it sucked, you laid in bed and watched TV then got through it then by the next Monday you went to work.
People, i swear, they think Corona just fucks people over and then great.. they are diseased and disabled for LIFE. Like it turns them into werewolves or I don't know what they think.
Has nobody ever had the flu before? What about a nasty cold? Nobody seems to know what those are like anymore?
If your parents have some sort of medical problems, especially respiratory problems and the grandparents are at that 80+ range then yes you have to be worried about them every single year, last year, this year, next year.
The flu sucks, nobody likes some sort of '7 day 'hangover', nobody likes barfing, nobody likes feeling nauseous and dizzy but its also life. Then your body figures it out and beats it. Then you are immune for life.
Corona Virus isn't 'AIDS'. It's not even considered an especially nasty flu and for younger people it even varies from moderate to a mild flu. Plenty of people don't even take time off work or activities and just power through it but do all their normal things in a day.
Italy invited the 3rd world in and promoted 'Hug Chinese People' day (seriously). They also have universal healthcare and told people over 80 they were fucked and they wouldn't be seen.
Yeah. They did it to virtue signal how calling it the Wuhan Virus was racist, so they promoted everyone to hug a Chinese person.
What do you expect from a pussy liberal country that allowed themselves to become socialist with universal healthcare. If we ever were forced to do universal healthcare I'd hope the liberals who pushed it here caught it too. Everyone else has to suffer due to their low IQ and stupidity. It should be them who suffers for it.
Would it surprise you that smallish regional hospitals in Italy are overloaded? Especially given that this disease disproportionately hits the old, and Italy has the second-oldest population of any country in the world?
Italy also has 300K guest workers from China, many of whom went home for the holidays and returned. Italy also has a lot of Chinese tourism.
The destroying angel passes over those with blood on their door (Exodus), those inside Jerusalem's walls (Isaiah), those who mourn for the evil done in the nation with a mark on their hand from Gabriel (Ezekiel),
those who submit to the king of Babylon and the word of the prophet (Jeremiah), and for those who have a testimony of God's anointed one (Revelation).
The Bible and history (various plagues, ancient and modern, Bubonic, spanish flu, smallpox/chickenpox) show where those who do survive will be richer and bring out eventual renaissance. It happens in every age of history.
Dangerous panicky idiots deserve to die by Darwinism theory. God just wants to warn and save everybody who will get on an ark, paint blood on their door, or repent to Jesus (symbolically listen to what God says). Yet God will destroy the sinner for his own sake. Like all we lost to drug addiction. There is death when you flirt with danger.
The Law of Moses demands cleanliness and quarantine of sicknesses. Maybe we need to spiritually quarantine ourselves against the over sexualized and violent media and music.
Maybe against leftists. I am so glad I am not getting spiritually infected at reddit.
I love the_donald, but lately people seem to be self-contradicting. Simultaneously saying widespread testing is pointless, and also acting as if we know the results of widespread testing.
You can say testing is pointless and we are doing enough, but that requires accepting that not knowing how widespread it is is acceptable. That's a legitimate opinion.
You can also say we need to know the spread of the virus, but in that case you have to agree US hasn't done enough testing to have that. Also a legitimate opinion.
Neither opinion is wrong. However your post, acting as if we DO know the spread, is wrong.
By the way, my opinion? Closer to the first. Knowing the spread would be nice, but if that takes resources from more important things then no big deal. I trust the Trump administration to make the right call. Trump seems happy with the current rate of testing, so I accept that.
I'm not sure where to find the numbers but the experts usually have some sort of 'formula/guess' and so they can usually get a pretty good idea of how many people probably have it.
As far as I can ever recall they are usually about right though I think they overestimated some like MERS and maybe SARS too but the point is that they have some good idea.
Nobody is saying we DO KNOW like objectively as if we have GPS on Corona 'Hosts' bodies but yes there is 'know' as in they have very good reasons, tried and tested, to know something that is probably about correct in any meaningful ways.
No thanks to the MSM, a friend of mine on Facebook is posting a new breaking news article every two hours with the comment "Now I'm not saying it's time to panic, BUT EVERYONE SHOULD BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY!!!!!!"
They're now the unofficial nanny of their friends network.
Even Styx has been kind of fatalistic about it recently. He's basically saying that, yes, the Wu Tang Flu is more dangerous than the average seasonal flu, but, for the most part, if you do some mild prepping and use common sanitary practices, you should be fine.
I personally think that some of the decisions made by our representatives are reasonable; such as, keeping kids out of school for a few weeks, encouraging work from home if possible, and mobile testing labs. But, when lawmakers start imposing curfews, banning large gatherings, refusing to issue new gun permits, and otherwise restricting constitutional freedoms, they are setting a VERY dangerous precident.
Those State Officials who are limiting their constituents' rights, are also setting a dangerous precident for the future. Even if you believe that this whole situation is bullshit, the actions taken by Federal, State, and Local Governments need to be monitored and challenged.
You can take it seriously while still staying calm. I have already got used to the possibility of a local mass quarantine 2 months ago and prepared supplies. And warned those I knew it could happen and probably would at the rate it was going. I can do little more so panic is pointless. Panickers are just those who are currently struggling to accept the idea of world-changing pandemic. This too will pass.
What angers me is all the parrots and talking heads DONT EVEN SAY ANYTHING!
No plan, no goal, no solutions, no will to survive.
Socialism won. They are all waiting for their doctor to decide if they will be executed for low social score and organ harvesting.
And they are nanny state serfs who don't care so long as the other crabs get equally and democratically pulled back into the bucket with them.
We will never have any way to know of the burned corpses in china were even infected! China just culled population to recover their depression soooner.
Your comment made me laugh out loud hahaha I love this site so much “they are all waiting for their doctor to decide if they will be executed for their low social score and organ harvesting” 🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Americans have a pretty fucking short attention span and even shorter patience.
I give it a week before husbands and wives stuck with each other just say "fuck it, if rather take my chances with the virus or the national guard shooting us than be stuck in here with you."
The Chad's out there are going to be exhausted soon, with all the single hotties hitting them up on Tinder. I got mine early and have him chained to the foot of my bed. Only down side is that now I have to feed and bathe him, luckily clothes aren't necessary. /s
Can we all at least agree that asshats like DeWine closing everything will be the undoing of this good economy? And they're perfectly happy to do it and see Trump fail.
This "pandemic" will be completely over by mid June, just like every sars style virus that came before it. Stocks will got back into a bull market and Trump will claim victory over both the stock crash and corona. The liberal master plan will backfire.
I think closing bars and restaurants was an overreach, and I've been advocating for people to take this virus seriously all week.
Unfortunately, it was inevitable after so many people ignored the guidance to voluntarily avoid large crowds of people. DeWine reportedly did this because bars were packed over the weekend for St. Patrick's Day.
As usual, the bureaucratic response to a few irresponsible people is to penalize EVERYONE.
That sounds like a eat-and-have cake situation. You want people to take this seriously, but they aren't. So the bars are closed, but that was an overreach. Huh?
No, I disagree 100%. The more we shut down now means the faster it goes away and we get back to business. Korea wiped it out in 2 weeks doing this. The economy will get more and more f**ked if we just let it run roughshod over months and months. Trump is serious about this, why aren't you?
I do not believe korea wiped it out in 2 weeks. Or at the very least is the last they heard of it. But i could be wrong. You are right about the longer it goes on, the worse it is. Tough spot to be in but i have faith in trump and will do what he recommends.
Well technically it was a total of 4 weeks since first discovering but only 2 weeks from the height; their max daily cases was on 3/3. This site is terrific for data gathering:
How about they’re doing it at his request? Lol, these governors are closing this stuff because the President is asking them to. Sheesh, everything isn’t a conspiracy.
Let’s pretend it isn’t happening instead. That seems to be what people prefer. Even the President is saying it’s time to act, but nah, who cares. The media said it first, so it’s a total hoax and we should actually all be booking ski trips to Milan.
It's a COLD virus anyway, not the flu. How many infections do we have? "OMG! The world is on fire! it is doubling ever 10'th of a second! The whole planet will be dead tonight ! Tune in tomorrow to see how to wash your hands!" It is "Unprecendeded!!!" which has reached the same BS mark as "Gravitas"
I keep seeing people post here who are antagonistic and insist on calling others here retarded/morons etc..
Everyone here is more brother than stranger, so I don't see where these people are coming from. There needs to be a little self awareness...
If you're REEEing that doomer posts about coronavirus are doing harm to the economy, you're essentially no different than those REEEing about the coronavirus itself - you've just fixated on a different aspect of this whole situation. If you want people to calm down, that's fine.. but you're gonna catch more pepes with dank memes than concern trolling dot win..
Lol, one replied to me whining about free speech and diversity of opinion. Apparently he can’t read the sidebar, and doesn’t realize that literally every other site on the internet is tailor-made for them.
the fearmongering is bad an scary but at the end of the day:
there is no food in my US city. online good orders i had have been cancelled this morning.
the stock market is closed.
air travel from most non-us places is banned. domestical flights are slowly being cancelled.
most places are actually closed.
people are accepting the government take over of various thing, nyc mayor just said this morning he plans to take over hospitals and medication, unopposed.
also since theres no food right now, time to use my prep food. didn't think this would happen.
there is very little food. itll fill back in a day or two im sure but today and yesterday were pretty shit.
a colleague went to the office and picked leftovers from the office fridge.
a very fat girl was crying on the street because she had no food, telling someone on the phone how she cannot handle this.
The people out are mostly good humor and so ready and hungry for a voice of encouragement and faith in God to make the destroying angel PASS OVER at the time of passover.
The rest look like they would vote to kill me and anybody instantly who doesn't live their vaccine cult.
Vaccine theory is that you STILL GET THE DISEASE. Just a "lesser" strain of it deadened with formaldehyde embalming fluid which you also get injected with (and whatever else Merck Glaxo can hide). Most have been injected with deadly diseases since birth. Stick em with formaldehyde placebos and I bet the "confirmed" cases go down even during allergy hypochondriac season.
(Are tests even reliable?)
They wanted a green new deal. This crisis is doing everything socialism and the green new deal planned to do.
Cull people. Overwhelm healthcare. Destroy sovereignty thru "international cooperation" during artificial crisis and government. Destroy basic culture (of touch and social life!!)
Well God gave us that, all in a few weeks suddenly, didn't he?
Repent now leftists. We are being ironically punished.
This results one of two ways, We enter pods and communicate online, We go offline and start sustainable communities with guards at the entry points and trusted child care providers.
I had to stop going to imgur because of the fear mongering. We get enough of Wuhan from the rest of the net , please lay off here. Make this place a sanctuary from their panic.
I’m going to have a fireworks display for my neighborhood tomorrow because America and also St Patrick’s day but more so America.
Also today I’m celebrating investing into America by buying more stocks. ❤️🇺🇸♥️
We blew through the 50% point on Dow since Nov 2016 today - about 22.5k.
16k is testing the next low long term low, double bottom when Trump won the election and would erase all his gains.
Seems like a long way to go from here to get there, but I have no doubt the deep state is gunning for that psychological number.
I’m gonna say 18k. That’s the last base before the market really took off. I also think we need 2-3 months of settling before any direction change.
United States averages over 100 automotive fatalities per day. We don’t shut down the nation over it. You’re at greater risk driving to work than you are from corona.
Yes that is what I counted up for yesterday; mainly big spikes by Italy and Spain. Surprisingly Norway and Switzerland already have very high infection rates per capita but their deaths are very low.
That doesn't surprise me at all. Outbreaks will be affected by several factors which vary situation to situation and locale to locale. That's why the US outbreak likely won't look like Italy's or Iran's or South Korea's or China's.
I'm tracking Italy to see if they can get to a topping out point; they are definitely a worst case scenario so it will be good to see them get on top of it. Their death rate is absolutely horrific (7-8% of cases) compared to other places (Korea is less than 1%) I definitely expect the US rate to get under 1% as well as we ramp up the testing.
This is where I'm torn. Earlier this week I was offering an O/U bet of US total deaths of 100 (I had no takers of course.) I think we'll definitely exceed that but by the same token, I think we will remain very low in deaths in large part because of the drastic actions being taken.
It's getting that voat/4chan type feeling where you are surrounded by contrarian idiots who simultaneously think that their censorship agenda isn't ironically exactly like Reddit.
What a coincidence that the DNC and the globalists are suddenly getting everything they want:
Roaring economy in the toilet
Trump rallies cancelled
Further division, separation, and weakening among the general population.
This is no accident. These evil, evil creatures released their nasty little virus and then whipped up a panic that was far worse than the actual bug could ever be.
They did this to us deliberately in order to regain their power - power that included the money and leisure to traffic and torture children. May they all rot in hell for it throughout eternity.
The orchestrated panic is way more harmful but, this is what they wanted...I support any decisions no matter how draconian, that the president has to make.
China is to blame. That's all they need to know. Incompetent, thin-skinned, commies, royally screwed things up and now the rest of the world has to suffer.
I'm not freaking out about the virus. But I do not want to run out of food and fuel due to everyone else freaking out. So now I have to go buy shit to ensure the crazies don't end up cleaning everything out.
You're right--this is getting ridiculous. ALL media, social and otherwise, is overpopulated with corona postings. I think it's something to be aware of, but we don't need to be talking about it non-stop for the next six months. I wish we could filter posts here. I ditched the MSM long ago, and I'm about to self-quarantine from new media and social media, as well.
So I'm starting to think that the timing with the shit they pulled with us on reddit might not have been a coincidence. And if you cant see that this is a deep state power grab you cannot possibly be a Pede.
This site is turning into a news aggregator site.
Repetitive posts with thousands of upvotes and zero or few comments.
The discussion is what creates a community.
People who promote fear for CV are still fake stream media believers.
This is what happens when you only offer upvotes, like fakebook.
It is so pathetic they come over here to shill about the flu. You aren't going to gaslight the donald so fuck off.
I'm deporting anyone who has <5 posts that are all unsubstantiated virus fear mongering.
This is a flu post, partner. Nobody makes you read them. Banning shit is for weaklings who can't argue their positions. Talking about something isn't necessarily fear mongering, but I guess we're lucky to have you to make that decision for all the rest of us.

If you can't see that a new poster with 5 posts all only talking about "muh Italy" is unsubstantiated fear mongering, then you're beyond help.
Maybe I was a bit harsh. I get riled up about censorship.
I appreciate that, and I definitely get riled up about censorship, too. My patience for astroturfing leftards who want to play legalese with our rules, however, has run out a while ago. lol
Now kiss

"New poster"
This entire board is a few months old, if that.
Practically everyone is a "new poster".
I don't see the totalitarian rules you want to enforce posted anywhere.
Not only that, you don't immediately convey the intelligence required to make such a call.
My definition of "new poster" here is someone who has five posts, literally all this morning, all saying just about the exact same thing. My assertion is in line with how T_D worked on just about a daily basis, so I can only assume you must be new here and were never there. The morning shill deportation is practically a tradition.

No-one signed up to come over here to be ruled by some emotional twat who's scared of a discussion. I heard r/pol is looking for moderators, you should apply.
❤️
Seems like a reasonable qualifier
I think you got everything so far, I will let you know if it flares up again.
We dont need concern trolls who are too stupid to utilize current data and believe everything the liberal media says. The fact you pussies are following us over here and bouncing on our dicks proves you are nothing more than pussies who needed us, and not the reverse.
DANG IT MODS ARE TOO FAST. I'm not seeing the shills. What are their talking points today? Can anyone sum it up so if I see one I can blast em
This post did a great job at rooting out the Chicken Littles. There were 2 or 3 that I saw with accounts less than an hour old, with a dozen or more comments about how we're all gonna die. It doesn't seem to occur to them that coming here, of all places, and saying "the media is right" is going to fly like a lead balloon.
ahhhhh now i see how it all went down, tanks pede. nuts i miss all the fun
They were basically saying we complain about free speech and then yell deport a user if we dont agree with them.
Wtf you talking about. The donald had a rule to ban leftists and concern trolls etc for years. Why would you think it wouldn't apply here. If you want your fill of concern trolls just sub to r/trump it's full of them.
It is getting really annoying. I had a Donald user call me a shill and go back to my lefty subs.
He was upset I wasn’t RESPECTFULLY disagreeing when I called Tim Pool a jackass
no, lad, i'm asking what are their daily FLU talking points. All shills wail about free speech on their way out the door, that's nothing new.
It was basically the usual "we don't know what we don't know and we're the next Italy" stuff.. No shit, right? They're complaining they can't yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. What was extra baffling is the other TD people attacking me for thinking we shouldn't put up with that.
Somehow the precautions we're already taking, constant hand washing until my knuckles are bleeding from being so dry, and avoiding contact with everyone for 2+ weeks isn't enough for some people. They think we all have to collectively panic about it to get it to go away or something.
Good points, but to be fair, we should still be pro free speech. You don't want to become what you oppose. See - if somebody writes something silly or something you disagree with - debate him, insult him, troll him - but outright censorship is bad.
See it this way - assume you fight ideas. The only way to propagate your ideas and to defeat others is to talk. If you censor each other over words and bad ideas, people won't change their mind, and see you as intellectually intolerant - and thus have a reason to oppose Trump and his supporters because "look at them." We want us to look good - and in my opinion we do a pretty fine job at that.
Now the complication is this: Wanting to look good may goes contrary to the idea of free speech. Having fun and joking may yield offensive things and hurt weak people's feelings, but trying to moderate everything meticulously will kill the forum, make it sterile, less popular and boring. But how about this: The sheer fact that we have a high magnitude of free speech is the very thing that makes us appealing.
And if it means some (not too many, gotta maintain a concept of proper border control) leftists spew their crap and get verbally nuked - so be it.
True. Outright trolling is totally fine to be deported. If they come here to provoke and troll us, fire them to hell and beyond. But in this case the guy, whose message is now deleted, had a fair point in regards to free speech - even if slightly provocative.
For example if messages get downvoted into oblivion - make them hidden but expandable instead of being deleted. If they get downvoted even beyond another threshold, delete them. That would provide some level of user self-moderation, and give censorship a gradient.
Do you know what unsubstantiated means?
YEAH
LMAO
Lick the shrines, bigot!
Instead of the usual reeee I heard actual shrieking with this one.
We need to bring back the word "shrieking" it's underutilized in todays libtard world.
I thought that was screeching.
no screeching is for triggered leftist old hippy cat-lady harpies.
Or... wait... do I have it the wrong way around? Now I'm confused.
AUTISTS: what do you do when you get crazy mad, is it shrieking or screeching.
Isn't it stimming? Or is that meth heads? 🤔
Nope that's tweeking.
... Or maybe twerking.
Then get shot for defiling the shrine lmao
legit made me lol
This Pede quarantines. Work is closed for 2 weeks. I'm playing NHL 20 from start of season to Stanley Cup. Not looking at my stocks. Going to be fun.
See you in a month, Robinhood.com!
no need to look the market is closed..
hahahahah NOBODY wanted to look today! I can see Buffet and Powell and Sprecher in a conference call with a bunch of CEO's...
"Uh... Okay so..."
"Ahem, ah, yes well, I uh... there is a... uh... we should think about ah..."
(someone on conference call coughs)
"WELP. That's it, guess we should just shut er down and play xbox for the day, what say guys."
"Actually that's what I was about to suggest as well, Jay. Sounds good. Let's pull the plug on it. Anybody needs me, you can fuck off til Thursday. Call my secretary."
If you're stupid enough to lick doorknobs, you deserve to get sick. These people need to practice good hygiene. I don't think they ever have though, even before the coronavirus.
they're victim-obsessed incels that don't shower
okay may I'm strawmanning, but only a little
Find something else to occupy your time - a book, perhaps.
I got the Bioshock remastered collection on PS4 a couple weeks ago. Great timing!
I've only ever played Infinite.
The first one is a classic. Definitely one of my favorite video games. Bioshock 2 is a lot of fun as well. I definitely recommend them both!
****But..but this is a flu post **** O_O
yeah i mean it's a relevant current topic, regardless of what one thinks about it.
It's been extremely successful at hiding real news for more than a week.
Shareblue board room is probably laughing it up and high fiving that even thedonald is nothing but coronavirus memes.
I mean, it's the biggest major incident in a LONG time. It's natural that people want to talk--and here, meme, which is our post-postmodern way of philosophizing--about it. I don't think it's that weird.
Are nefarious, bad-actor globalist types and DNC regulars secretly hoping they can turn it to their political advantage? Yea. But by the same token, name me something in recent memory that doesn't fit that bill.
In the end, with regard to our little digital kingdom, it's actually business-as-usual: deport the obvious Concerners, but don't lash out at people who just want to engage with this because you wish it weren't happening.
I'm not really worried about, shocked about it, or even upset about it. I would just like to see a bit less on the front page, since every person on this board knows the enemy of the people will never let a crisis go to waste.
I just think more of us, and by extension, more posts making it to the front page, should be asking what else is going on in the world.
People also want to see it here because this is the first major incident post-media awakening for many. It feels like you can't trust ANY org, so ofc pedes wanna see what their compatriots think and have analyzed on .win.
Trying to spread hysteria and memeing about the hysteria of the MSM brainwashed normies are not the same thing though.
Absolutely true. But it still dominates the front page, and I feel a lot of worthwhile news has been overlooked as a result.
Needs one megathread.
megathreads are usually just a way to silence any real discussion
I hardly see anything else in the media now...
Yes but it’s meta-flu so that’s ok
damnit yer right. CAN'T BEAT THIS FLUUUUU
Aren't their eyes more like this ^_^ ?
No, it's pepe loading a 20ga with 12ga.. pepe about to have a bad day
Agreed. It should be posts marveling over the USA's astonishingly LOW rates which are so low its not worth much of a story. Other than how low they are.
A part of me wants to believe that people are overreacting. Another part of me thinks about stories from Italy that are saying their health care system is overloaded because of this virus, that they are having trouble treating people, and how the whole country is on lockdown, making me think it's way more serious than any other disease I've seen in my lifetime.
I just know one thing, either it is serious or it isn't - regardless of where you live. If it is serious, then we better take it serious globally otherwise more countries are going to look like Italy very quickly.
Edit: Oh and I know there are definitely leftist assholes who see this virus an opportunity to prevent Trump's re-election, who actively want the economy to crash so they can blame it on Trump. But that doesn't tell us anything about how serious this virus is, for that it's probably best to look at other countries...
Italy is in bad shape because they ignored the problem until it got out of control.
Trump is trying to avoid that fate.
Italy is in bad shape because their people are filthy and unfit
That's part of it. But, they are also seeing normally healthy people suddenly becoming critically ill.
Some of those may be a reprise of what happened with the "Spanish Flu" in 1918: most of the fatalities in the US were age 20-40. Researchers believe it may have been caused by what is now called a "cykotine storm": where a normal immune system overreacts and drowns the victim with their own fluids in their lungs.
Children hadn't fully developed their immune systems, and older people either had weakened immune systems or latent immunity from something similar that pre-dated the young adults.
The reason the spanish flu killed younger people is because it had a weaker run earlier in the season and older weaker people contracted it, survived, and built a natural immunity to the stronger coming virus. But the main reason it was so bad was WWI had everyone starving and trench warfare is a hyper breeding ground for the virus, then all the soldiers come home and spread it to their respective countries.
Yes, it was the second wave that was contrary to most flu epidemics. The current theory is that people in the trenches with a mild case stayed put, while the severe cases were sent to field hospitals, where it was spread further.
But, I was referring to why normally healthy people were vulnerable. The "cytokine storm" theory was developed relatively recently, after researchers transfected animals with the virus from frozen victims, and they suffered rapid progressive respiratory failure.
I can't find the article now, but yesterday I read one that reported some of the younger patients in Italy fit this model.
Simple lie which you can easily find online.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mayor-florence-encouraged-italians-hug-chinese-pandemic-hit
Because of that, and socialized medicine.
Don't be like Italy.
Yes, that's another reason. Due to socialized medicine limiting investment in infrastructure, Italy has less critical care beds per 1M population than most Western countries.
As a result, they are having to decide who gets life-saving critical care, and who is left to die:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/14/elderly-left-isolated-abandoned-italy-death-rate-soars/
This is what the Trump administration (and state governments) are trying to prevent. We have more critical care beds, but on average about 2/3rd of them are already occupied by people with other serious illness or injury. And those other serious illnesses and injury will continue to happen, and will compete with this virus.
Yep -- Italy welcome the dirty into their country and rolled around with them like they were groomed for it --- same with Germany and other high import zones, those numbers are under reported and no capacity to deal with this
wtf is this satire?
I think it has more to do with not having enough qualified medical personnel to handle the really bad cases and they have a large elderly population. They are also a lot of people packed into a small country, relative to the size of the US.
Something I think a lot of people don't realize is that the really good doctors, the specialists that are great. They don't stay in countries with socialized medicine. They come to the US to work. The doctor that put in my PED was from Sweden. He's the Director of Interventional Radiology and a Professor at a prestigious uni in my state. He didn't stay in Sweden. He's a great doctor and he's here, saving lives in the US, not in Sweden.
Staff shortages are a big part, but certain equipment is in short supply.
Italy has reported that 10% of their hospital admissions that tested positive for COVID-19 have required mechanical ventilators, and they don't have enough.
The US reportedly has about 160,000. The UK is so worried they won't have enough, they are asking manufacturers to retool production lines to produce them.
Did they ignore it or did they just not do enough? Is the USA doing enough? I honestly don't know.
I think it was a combination of both. Here's an interesting video from Italians -- a message to themselves, from 10 days in the "future":
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nMY0-4p9P-M
Yes but Italy is the most extreme worst case scenario (outside of Wuhan) so it wouldn't be helpful to use that as the expectation.
The other thing is, for no good reason, way way too many people mistakenly believe Italy somehow started ahead of everyone else. They did not. The USA was 'seeded' the same time as Italy as were many others.
The USA is 'where Italy is' today. Italy isn't a glimpse into the future. It's running concurrently with most others and the USA.
One might say Japan and South Korea are ahead of others by maybe a week or two.
And it's not that serious unless you're old, frail, have a disease. It's very mild on children and the average adult (no preexisting lung illness) will just have a routine flu. Which does suck.
I'm a 'Suspected Case' here in Mainland China for what it's worth. They think I got it from a 5 year old little girl who did not actually get that sick herself but waiting to hear back from her father who had indeed been in Wuhan city a day before I was hanging around with him.
mind you, we don't know for sure
Honestly that doesn't make it much better. Sure, if you're young and healthy it's less scary. But what about the people who are not? They shouldn't die either.
You might not be at risk yourself, what about your parents for example? Maybe you only get mild symptoms yourself but your parents die or something like that...
Right that will be horrifying if all our parents die in disease and suffering however this is speaking to people who are young, healthy, no other serious diseases:
You aren't getting 'AIDS' and you are not getting a 'Zombie Infection' but rather what for most is a typical Flu. Which sucks but you had the flu before, it sucked, you laid in bed and watched TV then got through it then by the next Monday you went to work.
People, i swear, they think Corona just fucks people over and then great.. they are diseased and disabled for LIFE. Like it turns them into werewolves or I don't know what they think.
Has nobody ever had the flu before? What about a nasty cold? Nobody seems to know what those are like anymore?
I haven't, but I'm more worried about my parents and grandparents anyways.
If your parents have some sort of medical problems, especially respiratory problems and the grandparents are at that 80+ range then yes you have to be worried about them every single year, last year, this year, next year.
The flu sucks, nobody likes some sort of '7 day 'hangover', nobody likes barfing, nobody likes feeling nauseous and dizzy but its also life. Then your body figures it out and beats it. Then you are immune for life.
Corona Virus isn't 'AIDS'. It's not even considered an especially nasty flu and for younger people it even varies from moderate to a mild flu. Plenty of people don't even take time off work or activities and just power through it but do all their normal things in a day.
Italy invited the 3rd world in and promoted 'Hug Chinese People' day (seriously). They also have universal healthcare and told people over 80 they were fucked and they wouldn't be seen.
Dafuq lol.
Yeah. They did it to virtue signal how calling it the Wuhan Virus was racist, so they promoted everyone to hug a Chinese person.
What do you expect from a pussy liberal country that allowed themselves to become socialist with universal healthcare. If we ever were forced to do universal healthcare I'd hope the liberals who pushed it here caught it too. Everyone else has to suffer due to their low IQ and stupidity. It should be them who suffers for it.
Just read an article about it and saw a video... holy fucking shit. These virtue signaling assholes should be prosecuted.
Would it surprise you that smallish regional hospitals in Italy are overloaded? Especially given that this disease disproportionately hits the old, and Italy has the second-oldest population of any country in the world?
Italy also has 300K guest workers from China, many of whom went home for the holidays and returned. Italy also has a lot of Chinese tourism.
We are not Italy.
The destroying angel passes over those with blood on their door (Exodus), those inside Jerusalem's walls (Isaiah), those who mourn for the evil done in the nation with a mark on their hand from Gabriel (Ezekiel), those who submit to the king of Babylon and the word of the prophet (Jeremiah), and for those who have a testimony of God's anointed one (Revelation).
The Bible and history (various plagues, ancient and modern, Bubonic, spanish flu, smallpox/chickenpox) show where those who do survive will be richer and bring out eventual renaissance. It happens in every age of history.
Dangerous panicky idiots deserve to die by Darwinism theory. God just wants to warn and save everybody who will get on an ark, paint blood on their door, or repent to Jesus (symbolically listen to what God says). Yet God will destroy the sinner for his own sake. Like all we lost to drug addiction. There is death when you flirt with danger.
The Law of Moses demands cleanliness and quarantine of sicknesses. Maybe we need to spiritually quarantine ourselves against the over sexualized and violent media and music.
Maybe against leftists. I am so glad I am not getting spiritually infected at reddit.
Spiritual warfare. We've been dealing with it for decades now. I think the reckoning is coming in the next decade or so.
Any time you point this out you get told "well for now!! but just you wait!!!"
It's almost like they can't wait for the numbers to go up to prove themselves correct.
Yes i have a bunch of people on twitter who keep saying exactly that and they seem to know something nobody else knows.
Consider this though: Outside of Wuhan area, lets say outside Hubei Province China: The next worst was 'Henan' which was a mere 22 deaths.
But then Italy blew up in a worst-case-scenario and now they keep tweeting at me "SEE! Italy! Now do you believe!"
They don't say "Look at Canada! See how.. oh okay, so just 1". 30 Canadians will die from the regular seasonal flu in the same time period.
Honestly people here in China weren't half as hysterical as my American friends and family on Twitter who are losing their minds.
We don't know the rates.
I love the_donald, but lately people seem to be self-contradicting. Simultaneously saying widespread testing is pointless, and also acting as if we know the results of widespread testing.
You can say testing is pointless and we are doing enough, but that requires accepting that not knowing how widespread it is is acceptable. That's a legitimate opinion.
You can also say we need to know the spread of the virus, but in that case you have to agree US hasn't done enough testing to have that. Also a legitimate opinion.
Neither opinion is wrong. However your post, acting as if we DO know the spread, is wrong.
By the way, my opinion? Closer to the first. Knowing the spread would be nice, but if that takes resources from more important things then no big deal. I trust the Trump administration to make the right call. Trump seems happy with the current rate of testing, so I accept that.
I'm not sure where to find the numbers but the experts usually have some sort of 'formula/guess' and so they can usually get a pretty good idea of how many people probably have it.
As far as I can ever recall they are usually about right though I think they overestimated some like MERS and maybe SARS too but the point is that they have some good idea.
Nobody is saying we DO KNOW like objectively as if we have GPS on Corona 'Hosts' bodies but yes there is 'know' as in they have very good reasons, tried and tested, to know something that is probably about correct in any meaningful ways.
There are other countries to base models off of than Italy. Italy and China have been shit shows in past pandemics too.
Something tells me you will feel dumb in a month not us
I have thanks
Is this where it ceases to be Obama’s economy?
Asking for a friend.
Totally shouldn’t blame Democratic governors shutting down states, bars restaurants, sporting events, or a complicit media inciting panic.
No blame to be had there.
Same mindset.
No thanks to the MSM, a friend of mine on Facebook is posting a new breaking news article every two hours with the comment "Now I'm not saying it's time to panic, BUT EVERYONE SHOULD BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY!!!!!!"
They're now the unofficial nanny of their friends network.
That’s Tim Pool for the last 2 months.
Nah. Tim has mostly been warning about the fallout of overreaction
And styxhexenhammer
Even Styx has been kind of fatalistic about it recently. He's basically saying that, yes, the Wu Tang Flu is more dangerous than the average seasonal flu, but, for the most part, if you do some mild prepping and use common sanitary practices, you should be fine.
I personally think that some of the decisions made by our representatives are reasonable; such as, keeping kids out of school for a few weeks, encouraging work from home if possible, and mobile testing labs. But, when lawmakers start imposing curfews, banning large gatherings, refusing to issue new gun permits, and otherwise restricting constitutional freedoms, they are setting a VERY dangerous precident.
Those State Officials who are limiting their constituents' rights, are also setting a dangerous precident for the future. Even if you believe that this whole situation is bullshit, the actions taken by Federal, State, and Local Governments need to be monitored and challenged.
Bingo
You can take it seriously while still staying calm. I have already got used to the possibility of a local mass quarantine 2 months ago and prepared supplies. And warned those I knew it could happen and probably would at the rate it was going. I can do little more so panic is pointless. Panickers are just those who are currently struggling to accept the idea of world-changing pandemic. This too will pass.
Just reply "thank goodness you posted this message, because otherwise I thought it was no big deal."
What angers me is all the parrots and talking heads DONT EVEN SAY ANYTHING!
No plan, no goal, no solutions, no will to survive.
Socialism won. They are all waiting for their doctor to decide if they will be executed for low social score and organ harvesting.
And they are nanny state serfs who don't care so long as the other crabs get equally and democratically pulled back into the bucket with them.
We will never have any way to know of the burned corpses in china were even infected! China just culled population to recover their depression soooner.
Your comment made me laugh out loud hahaha I love this site so much “they are all waiting for their doctor to decide if they will be executed for their low social score and organ harvesting” 🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Americans have a pretty fucking short attention span and even shorter patience.
I give it a week before husbands and wives stuck with each other just say "fuck it, if rather take my chances with the virus or the national guard shooting us than be stuck in here with you."
Prediction - rising anger levels
Or the ones that love each other will be busy making babies.
My wife just started her period. What a wonderful time to be stuck at home together!
I'm all for baby making, but if they're panicking over their future finances and everything else, there might not be as much of that...
I heard on the radio this morning that couples in China that were quarantined together got so annoyed with each other that they want to divorce.
The Chad's out there are going to be exhausted soon, with all the single hotties hitting them up on Tinder. I got mine early and have him chained to the foot of my bed. Only down side is that now I have to feed and bathe him, luckily clothes aren't necessary. /s
They should quarantine 3 or 4 couples together in the same house, install cameras, and maybe film a TV show. Tired of your own husband? ......
Boogaloo 2: The Boogaflu
Can we all at least agree that asshats like DeWine closing everything will be the undoing of this good economy? And they're perfectly happy to do it and see Trump fail.
Making Trump fail is the whole point. Unfortunately for them, he’s gonna guide us through it with aplomb and ride the success into the election
This "pandemic" will be completely over by mid June, just like every sars style virus that came before it. Stocks will got back into a bull market and Trump will claim victory over both the stock crash and corona. The liberal master plan will backfire.
Which is when they start hoping for a "second wave"
I think closing bars and restaurants was an overreach, and I've been advocating for people to take this virus seriously all week.
Unfortunately, it was inevitable after so many people ignored the guidance to voluntarily avoid large crowds of people. DeWine reportedly did this because bars were packed over the weekend for St. Patrick's Day.
As usual, the bureaucratic response to a few irresponsible people is to penalize EVERYONE.
That sounds like a eat-and-have cake situation. You want people to take this seriously, but they aren't. So the bars are closed, but that was an overreach. Huh?
Bars and restaurants can remain open if people follow the guidance for "social distancing". It's not difficult.
No, I disagree 100%. The more we shut down now means the faster it goes away and we get back to business. Korea wiped it out in 2 weeks doing this. The economy will get more and more f**ked if we just let it run roughshod over months and months. Trump is serious about this, why aren't you?
I do not believe korea wiped it out in 2 weeks. Or at the very least is the last they heard of it. But i could be wrong. You are right about the longer it goes on, the worse it is. Tough spot to be in but i have faith in trump and will do what he recommends.
Well technically it was a total of 4 weeks since first discovering but only 2 weeks from the height; their max daily cases was on 3/3. This site is terrific for data gathering:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/south-korea/
Thanks
How about they’re doing it at his request? Lol, these governors are closing this stuff because the President is asking them to. Sheesh, everything isn’t a conspiracy.
Trump didn't ask governors to close bars and restaurants.
Are toilet paper memes still okay? So hot right now.

This is a flu post, so I am ignoring it.
Metoo...even though it’s stickied, I won’t respond
i'm so proud of this community
Back at you
I’m am ignoring your response to the flu post
Also, I am not going to panic or buy toilet paper.
Well...I mean...when you run out you should.
No. Never again.
Idk, there's a lot of unfair media slandering, I've made a few post about it. If we don't speak out and share information amongst each other who will?
Let’s pretend it isn’t happening instead. That seems to be what people prefer. Even the President is saying it’s time to act, but nah, who cares. The media said it first, so it’s a total hoax and we should actually all be booking ski trips to Milan.
It's a COLD virus anyway, not the flu. How many infections do we have? "OMG! The world is on fire! it is doubling ever 10'th of a second! The whole planet will be dead tonight ! Tune in tomorrow to see how to wash your hands!" It is "Unprecendeded!!!" which has reached the same BS mark as "Gravitas"
Is that why sweden and the UK are doing absolutely nothing?
damn, I missed it.. what did he say? lol
Why are non-Trump supporters allowed to remain here if they make an account?
GET EM OUT
I keep seeing people post here who are antagonistic and insist on calling others here retarded/morons etc..
Everyone here is more brother than stranger, so I don't see where these people are coming from. There needs to be a little self awareness...
If you're REEEing that doomer posts about coronavirus are doing harm to the economy, you're essentially no different than those REEEing about the coronavirus itself - you've just fixated on a different aspect of this whole situation. If you want people to calm down, that's fine.. but you're gonna catch more pepes with dank memes than concern trolling dot win..
Lol, one replied to me whining about free speech and diversity of opinion. Apparently he can’t read the sidebar, and doesn’t realize that literally every other site on the internet is tailor-made for them.
ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away.
the fearmongering is bad an scary but at the end of the day:
there is no food in my US city. online good orders i had have been cancelled this morning. the stock market is closed. air travel from most non-us places is banned. domestical flights are slowly being cancelled. most places are actually closed. people are accepting the government take over of various thing, nyc mayor just said this morning he plans to take over hospitals and medication, unopposed.
also since theres no food right now, time to use my prep food. didn't think this would happen.
I find it hard to believe there is no food
there is very little food. itll fill back in a day or two im sure but today and yesterday were pretty shit. a colleague went to the office and picked leftovers from the office fridge. a very fat girl was crying on the street because she had no food, telling someone on the phone how she cannot handle this.
interesting days.
That's what you should be really afraid of.
Absent the PANIC which is manufactured, you wouldn't have to worry about the other problems.
Alex Jones was right again.
I'm getting sick of it too, but it's so revealing to watch who is cheering for death and destruction. Everyone is revealing themselves!

It's weird, it's like they're contagious.
You're more likely to die falling from a ladder hanging your Xmas decorations.
More likely to die of a shark attack... Twice.
More likely to suffer a crossbow related demise.
But only about half as likely to win the power ball.
I'm not worried about myself as much as my 70 year old parents.
This is the biggest public health crisis in over 100 years.
Yes, the left is politicizing it, but that doesn't mean it's not a really big problem.
Expect Trump to announce a nationwide 'quarantine' within 36 hours.
We will get through this but there's a reason it is pushing out all other news. It IS the only story right now for good reason.
Thank goodness for the benevolent news media, always thinking of the best things for the people.
Now compare those numbers to the seasonal flu.
Yes the numbers are indeed far worse than the flu.
No, they're not.
They're slightly worse. And it only matters if you're old or compromised.
We appreciate your concern.
Only 160000 people worldwide got it in 3 months.

Traveled from Utah to Vegas to Cali yesterday.
Nobody so much as coughing or sneezing ANYWHERE.
The people out are mostly good humor and so ready and hungry for a voice of encouragement and faith in God to make the destroying angel PASS OVER at the time of passover.
The rest look like they would vote to kill me and anybody instantly who doesn't live their vaccine cult.
Vaccine theory is that you STILL GET THE DISEASE. Just a "lesser" strain of it deadened with formaldehyde embalming fluid which you also get injected with (and whatever else Merck Glaxo can hide). Most have been injected with deadly diseases since birth. Stick em with formaldehyde placebos and I bet the "confirmed" cases go down even during allergy hypochondriac season.
(Are tests even reliable?)
They wanted a green new deal. This crisis is doing everything socialism and the green new deal planned to do.
Cull people. Overwhelm healthcare. Destroy sovereignty thru "international cooperation" during artificial crisis and government. Destroy basic culture (of touch and social life!!)
Well God gave us that, all in a few weeks suddenly, didn't he?
Repent now leftists. We are being ironically punished.
This results one of two ways, We enter pods and communicate online, We go offline and start sustainable communities with guards at the entry points and trusted child care providers.
Yes, I am in an industry that stays open during this- when I am home from work, this is the last thing I want to discuss.
Flush the concern toads NOW
The Coronavirus denial in here is very sad. Anyone calling it the flu is a moron.
I had to stop going to imgur because of the fear mongering. We get enough of Wuhan from the rest of the net , please lay off here. Make this place a sanctuary from their panic.
Imgur also has severe TDS.
I’m going to have a fireworks display for my neighborhood tomorrow because America and also St Patrick’s day but more so America. Also today I’m celebrating investing into America by buying more stocks. ❤️🇺🇸♥️
Can we talk about stocks?
Waiting patiently for my entry point. Not going to grab a falling knife.
S&P 2000 DOW 16000 I'm thinking
We blew through the 50% point on Dow since Nov 2016 today - about 22.5k.
16k is testing the next low long term low, double bottom when Trump won the election and would erase all his gains. Seems like a long way to go from here to get there, but I have no doubt the deep state is gunning for that psychological number.
I’m gonna say 18k. That’s the last base before the market really took off. I also think we need 2-3 months of settling before any direction change.
United States averages over 100 automotive fatalities per day. We don’t shut down the nation over it. You’re at greater risk driving to work than you are from corona.

They reset their death count at 0:00 GMT
So you saw +600 deaths in Europe in the last 24 hours?
Yes that is what I counted up for yesterday; mainly big spikes by Italy and Spain. Surprisingly Norway and Switzerland already have very high infection rates per capita but their deaths are very low.
That doesn't surprise me at all. Outbreaks will be affected by several factors which vary situation to situation and locale to locale. That's why the US outbreak likely won't look like Italy's or Iran's or South Korea's or China's.
I'm tracking Italy to see if they can get to a topping out point; they are definitely a worst case scenario so it will be good to see them get on top of it. Their death rate is absolutely horrific (7-8% of cases) compared to other places (Korea is less than 1%) I definitely expect the US rate to get under 1% as well as we ramp up the testing.
This is where I'm torn. Earlier this week I was offering an O/U bet of US total deaths of 100 (I had no takers of course.) I think we'll definitely exceed that but by the same token, I think we will remain very low in deaths in large part because of the drastic actions being taken.
I heard that Lombardy region had no new cases today, not sure that is true. I expect Italy to peak soon.
Edit: sorry, I had that wrong. 300 fewer new cases today.
Some of the memes are great though. Like the one where Xi the Pooh is pressuring a scientist with a pillow.
I missed that 😣 🧻🧻
The good thing about all this panic is that my wife is okay with me buying a new rifle. I was going to buy one anyway but still.
Sig makes great guns!
It's getting that voat/4chan type feeling where you are surrounded by contrarian idiots who simultaneously think that their censorship agenda isn't ironically exactly like Reddit.
Need them to keep coming so they can see how unaffected we are by the deception
What a coincidence that the DNC and the globalists are suddenly getting everything they want:
This is no accident. These evil, evil creatures released their nasty little virus and then whipped up a panic that was far worse than the actual bug could ever be.
They did this to us deliberately in order to regain their power - power that included the money and leisure to traffic and torture children. May they all rot in hell for it throughout eternity.
But but but... where can I get a gross of toilet paper?
The orchestrated panic is way more harmful but, this is what they wanted...I support any decisions no matter how draconian, that the president has to make.
China is to blame. That's all they need to know. Incompetent, thin-skinned, commies, royally screwed things up and now the rest of the world has to suffer.
As cases rise rapidly around the world, Hong Kong is apparently spared from the pandemic, because Hongkongers don't trust ChYna.
I made the same thing a rule in my house. Unless you actually know someone who has it, STFU!
I'm not freaking out about the virus. But I do not want to run out of food and fuel due to everyone else freaking out. So now I have to go buy shit to ensure the crazies don't end up cleaning everything out.
Cocking sound intensifies
Not when GEOTUS has made it his number one job to save us from it, need some memes of him slaying the CoronaDragon
You're right--this is getting ridiculous. ALL media, social and otherwise, is overpopulated with corona postings. I think it's something to be aware of, but we don't need to be talking about it non-stop for the next six months. I wish we could filter posts here. I ditched the MSM long ago, and I'm about to self-quarantine from new media and social media, as well.
So I'm starting to think that the timing with the shit they pulled with us on reddit might not have been a coincidence. And if you cant see that this is a deep state power grab you cannot possibly be a Pede.
I agree with the notorious hacker 4chan - these threads are probably started by leafs and roos.
[giggity intensifies]
Get a double barrel shotgun and fire two blasts
Pepe is having a tough time shoving in 12 ga shells into a 20 ga shotgun.
Why does the gun say 20 gauge but the shot shells say 12?
Anywho, I agree let’s take our minds of off it and just move on with life
Is poor Pepe loading 12ga shells into a 20ga gun?
This site is turning into a news aggregator site. Repetitive posts with thousands of upvotes and zero or few comments. The discussion is what creates a community. People who promote fear for CV are still fake stream media believers. This is what happens when you only offer upvotes, like fakebook.
I’m so sick of my parents talking nonstop about it!
What about TP shitposts?
