Why are there so many people here who claim the coronavirus isn’t an issue?

The "split" within our country started during the previous president's tenure. Try to pay better attention. Well, actually its always been there, just increased exponentially under Obama.

Republicans were so mad at the thought of a black man running the country, they did combust. You are right.

Republicans were so mad, they tricked him into inciting race riots in cities across the USA, from which some of those cities, Baltimore in particular, have never recovered. Race relations are far better under Trump, record support from blacks and Hispanics, only the self-hating whites are stirred up.

What is the top-down issue here. Please elucidate.

The people at the top, i.e. the richest point 1 percent (the oligarchs), are controlling and deluding the masses.

A generic description of bad luck. Pointless.

That may be the stupidest thing you've written yet and that's saying something.

You actually have the mind of a toddler. It's all just luck. LOL. Good God.

For the record, NIMBY is 100% correct: It's fine until it's not, and when it's not you better hope it's not "game over".

The typical frenzied rant of an angry coward. Get a grip, fool! It's YOU you're scared of. You're afraid of your own MIND!

OK thanks for responding , I just wanted to make sure that you are in fact a nut case. Case closed.

Do you realize how many top 1% started from nothing in the USA in the last 30 years This is no longer about royalty like in Europe. Things have changed fast. Those are people who built businesses and changed the world.

I love when white people claim that race relations are better. How the f-- would you know?

Awesome.

Make sure to head straight to the emergency room and get your treatment right now!

Being born royalty and being a rags-to-riches billionaire involve roughly equal amounts of extremely good luck.

But it's a useful counterpoint to the INDISPUTABLE FACT that to be among the 1 of every 2 million people to die of COVID-19 is extremely BAD luck of about the same magnitude.

Gordon, you just helped him make his point.

the virus news out of asia continues to be good.

China has killed this thing, utterly

South Korea appears to be over the viral peak and is moving down the other side

HK beat it.

Japan is still getting worse

Taiwan never really had it.

I'm no doctor but seems to me that this thing is not going to infect as many people as the worriers think. I'd suspect europe will hit its viral peak in a week or so.

The US is a big weird mystery because we don't live in a place where information can move freely.

bizarre. How did we let trump, one person, wreck us like this?

Because thousands of people die every year from the flu and you never hear about it.

I am worried about the Olympics tho. Hoping like hell it isn't canceled.

I can never tell if you’re talking to yourself or someone else.

The narrative is that people are either totally in denial or they are hysterical.

I went to Costco and bought a few big bags of trail mix, some medicine, a solar battery charger and a few other items. I consider the purchase rational, cheap, and proactive.

Let me know if you consider this hysterical. When you think of the sh”t people do for Black Friday, I guess in response to the threat of over-paying for consumer goods, the Covid stuff seems quite sensible.

So some old people with health issues might die, and you decide the power grid is going down? Bit of a disconnect there, but if it makes you happy.

Information moves very freely but most of it is false. Americans prefer false information.

Not true at all. The LA Times wants me to pay up to read their articles about the coronavirus.

Why the mass graves in Iran if it’s just a flu?

That's a good question. How many of the top 1% have started from nothing in the USA in the last 30 years? You seem like you know the answer.

Am I wrong to picture Bad Wigins as Dwight from The Office?
