AllTheWayTrump 8 points ago +8 / -0

Anyone think that those wanting to defeat Trump are exploiting Trump's germaphobia to their benefit and using worst case models to guide his decision making? I'm not saying the virus is a hoax, but the reaction and actions since seem awfully suspect considering the timing. China just launched a nuclear bomb on our economy (whether purposeful or not, they benefit) and are using the MSM to push fear mongering stories left and right. Of all those dying, I wonder how many would have died with a bad flu or pneumonia? I don't know how much longer people are going to stand for having birthday parties for grandma that have grandma alone looking sad in the window while people are in the road 6 feet from each other with signs. It might be touching the first few times, but that cannot become the norm for another 3+ months.

Exactly the same number, since this is literally just a very transmissible pneumonia. It has exactly the same symptoms and lasts exactly as long and kills the same percentage of susceptible people. What sets this apart is how much more easily it is transmitted since it stays alive outside the body for so long.
