    Something else is going on, Italy just jumped 1200 cases and 50 deaths in the last 24 hrs

    These growth rates aren't making any sense


    Russia only has 17 cases at the moment?

    I'm in Oregon where currently there are only 7 known cases, but the way it's spreading that could be hundreds of cases in a month from now. I've started getting in the habit of washing my hands more often and taking alcohol swabs to the pipes I smoke out of. I suppose I should stock up on cold & flu medicine, I'm sure there will be a run on those things once enough people are infected. I was in my local pharmacy today and they've sold out of hand sanitizer. 7 known cases and they run out of hand sanitizer. Coronavirus has really got us spooked.

    "(CNN)Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signed a decree early Sunday that will put millions of people across northern Italy under lockdown due to the novel coronavirus.

    The sweeping move puts the entire Lombardy region, as well as 14 other provinces, under travel restrictions, and is one of the toughest responses implemented outside of mainland China to get the Covid-19 epidemic under control.

    The country has now recorded 5,883 cases and 233 deaths, the most fatalities outside mainland China and the biggest outbreak in Europe.

    Announcing the new measures, Conte said: "There will be an obligation to avoid any movement of people who are either entering or leaving" the affected areas. "Even within the areas moving around will occur only for essential work or health reasons," he said, according to Reuters.

    While the lockdown only applies to northern Italy, other measures will be applied to the entire country. These include the suspension of schools, university classes, theaters and cinemas, as well as bars, nightclubs, and sports events. Religious ceremonies, including funerals, will also be suspended'

    Italy announces lockdown as global coronavirus cases surpass 105,000 - CNN


    Anyone else think that's crazy? That will pretty much shut down their whole economy, how many people, businesses are going to go bankrupt? Consequences that will last for years

    I don't even know how you enforce that in a first world country

    Guess they care more about those most prone to die if they would get infected. Crazy bastards!

    Trump just said the numbers look good and Coronavirus will disappear on its own. His loyal followers were seen kissing his feet.

    It is funny seeing media elitists and smug leftists, who spent the last several years mocking doomsday preppers as “crazy conspiracy loons,” start to panic and scramble like rats on a sinking ship for toilet paper :tearsofjoy:

    Look at those age demographics though, you don't need to isolate everyone, just everyone over 50

    First case in the US was reported January 20, near 7 weeks ago

    Should have spread far more rapidly now than it has

    So yeah, Trump is right, or more accurately Trump will appear to have maintained a cool head at a time everyone else was panicking

    The US was coming out of its winter, with that fact alone, I knew the virus wasn't going to have the same growth rate as in China smack bang in the middle of their winter, end of December

    I basically think that anyone that thought otherwise....well, is a bit of a moron

    In the haste of many of you here to bash the Donald, you made idiots of yourselves yet again.

    The man himself, meh, not so much, if Gabbard was Dems frontrunner, I would have switched sides in a heartbeat

    But what I friggin love about The Donald how well he trolls the media, how often now he gets the left to trip over themselves

    I think AOC is dead on, Super Tuesday was about consolidating against Bernie, not consolidating towards Biden

  19. I think people just see him as an anti-PC hero who stirs up trouble with the libtards, who are just annoying, uppity demagogues themselves. I don't personally buy it; I think he's as bad as them. But they are also just as bad as he is.
