Come to think of it, there is a director/producer but it isn't a mere mortal, and this is not a movie.
I wish it were. I feel for the children in case this thing has no ending (no good one anyway) They will never know the freedoms I had and took for granted as a child.
Has the “regular” flu ever k**led this many people in such a short period of time? Comparing annual numbers to numbers from 2 months is not logical.

I have the same fear for our children and grandchildren.

Ask their families.
I believe he was referring to something more than the v***s like loss of freedoms. But that is just me or is it because in many states I see that are controlled by liberals it is actually happening.

Well, it’s in the General Chit-Chat section so it’s ok.
I think what you’re missing is that this disease has come about and k**led people in a very short period of time. C****-** k**ls at a rate far beyond flu v***ses.
Just my opinion, of course.
I am tired of having to respond to the stupidity of comparing flu to C***D. Of comparisons to the number of car deaths, of pool drownings. Tired of hearing republicans saying it is LIBERAL nonsense.
I am involved in both C***D v*****e, therapeutic (dropping v***l loads) testing reagents. I hear all these non-medical 'experts' spouting garbage upon a subject they hear on Fox news.
All I ask is that you actually read the literature.....read it. C****av***s is a zoonotic v***s that comes from 4 subgroups. The beta subgroup generally infect bats. It mutated, and now it can bind to the human angiotensin receptor, and it sees a whole human population that has NEVER seen this v***s and has zero immunity. Like dumping rabbits in Australia. This is somewhat akin to the Spanish flu in that it was so novel, there was little immunity unlike most flu's who's two main antigens H(emaglutinin) and N(euraminidase), were at least partially familiar to most humans.
Again please use your brain and educate yourself. If you cannot read then shut up as even the experts still do not completely understand this v***s. Or a president that says hydroxychloroquine is a magic drug. Now that it has been scientifically tested...guess what? It doesn't help AND it actually causes more deaths. Read the literature and NOT Fox news.

It is happening in Indiana and Ohio too - states that have Republican leadership.
Yes, those thawing "bugs" could be a problem. I think this is more of a preview than a rehearsal.

Irrelevant. C***d deaths last week far outnumbered flu deaths. C***d is deadly and highly contagious. There is no treatment and no cure.

Not at all. I made a very calm response of fact.

Leave no stone unturned. Because it is new, like you say even the experts will agree so what are we to do, give up? Because Trump said it is bad or was he just repeating something some doctor said that he thought might work? Now we know and yes it may have been proven wrong but if it were the other way around would you have given him credit?
Leave it to the experts? How many of the great invention were created in someones garage?
An educated brain becomes educated by experimenting, not by saying do not do that. Any scientist knows that.
The world is full of people that said it cannot be done. Always has been, always will be. Let us close down Mt. Everest after all the percentage of people making it to the top is minimal. Especially now with all who think it will be a easy task.
But like one commentator said how do you like the green new deal?
Fear, weakness, the earth will end in 12 years spoken by a bartender and many believe it, means they will take away your freedoms. America achieved it greatness based on productivity and innovation.

Now the medical experts seem to be finding that hydroxychloroquine has a higher death rate than doing nothing. You can proclaim otherwise, but the v***s won't listen. I will listen to the experts.

1 - This is the non-photography forum...learn to read,
2 - This is not "liberal nonsense." The fact that you don't believe it doesn't make it a lie.
3 - 42,000 dead isn't nonsense of any kind.
I'm not a liberal, but, airheads like you, of any stripe, offend me.

This is NOT a photography forum. It is "General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk)"
