Don’t worry....it is all a Democrat hoax...and there is a vaccine for it...and Mexico is paying for the vaccine...right after they finish paying for the border wall. Besides....it will just miraculously vanish in April. The Great Orange God says it....so you know it must be true....Especially if his hands are moving while he says it.

I’m not worried. I am a Deep State Insider, and I already got my vaccine....thanks to The Lizard Queen Hillary Most High. Now I am going out to attend Trumputin rallies, news conferences, town halls, fund raisers, etc. HAHAHAHA!

Politics.
People are sick and dying.
Why bring your hate in here?

People are nervous, some are down right frightened. The ability to strike out anonymously may help them get over it. Best to just ignore it rather than acknowledge it.
Just a thought.

This is not a joke. The posts here demonstrate EXACTLY what is wrong with our county. We are supposed to be the UNITED STATES, IDIVISABLE. But instead we are the divided fools, letting big money and corporations run our government. No I'm not a democrat, or a republican or independent. I have been registered as no party affiliation for over 50 years. The problem with our politics is it's all about my side or your side. We the people can solve this, but everyone has to work together first. If you are a party politician I suggest you sit back and stop wrecking our country.

Not hate. Humor. Sarcasm. Better to laugh off the paranoia of idiots than to stress out fearfully worrying about the latest fad threat.

Perspective, folks. From the CNBC web site, posted 2/3/20 - more than a month ago:
This flu season alone has sickened at least 19 million across the U.S. and led to 10,000 deaths and 180,000 hospitalizations.
This was BEFORE the COVID19 situation was on any media radar. It's the "flu season." We go through it every year. Some years are worse than others. Some years the "flu shot" helps and some years it doesn't.
Contagious infections have been a hazard of living in social groups for many thousands of years. Some people die from the flu each year, most don't. We have developed techniques to reduce the spread, mainly personal sanitation and sensible social distancing. We're all being constantly reminded of these techniques now - if we followed them all the time we probably wouldn't have the number of flu deaths we experience every year.

According to the CDC (expert scientists) today, the mortality rate of the current flu virus coupled with pneumonia is 7.1%. That is more than two times the preliminary fatality rate of COVID-19 at 2-3% based on suspected numbers from China and low testing rates worldwide. On top of that, CDC reports today that the total child mortality alone from the flu is 144 children dead as of 8 March with 8 dying last week.
CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 36 million flu illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations and 22,000 deaths from flu! Yet there is no hype, no concern, no special precautions being made against the flu like there is for COVID-19. People need to get a grip on reality and gain some perspective.
