Some of us have grandparents who survived both World Wars.

He we are complaining about surviving Swine Flu and Coronavirus. Perspective, please.

The mass hysteria is once again why the MSM can’t be trusted.

I agree but I probably blame a different set of people than you do. For example, I had just turned 16 when 9/11 happened. The traditional cable news went back to normal programming about two weeks after 9/11 but Fox News would still be primarily be on it until we actually went in.

 I hope this is a reporting error. That can't possibly be in good sense. Also if you want to induce panic, that would do it.

So thats what? 5 million ded?

Does anybody else find this thread gratuitous and gruesome?

Not to mention ghoulish, yes.

Seriously, it's one thing to soberly analyze population spreads and anticipated mortality rates, but quite another to enter a betting pool as to the number of deaths anticipated from an ongoing worldwide pandemic.

No worse than the typical Cold War discussion about it going hot.

Big difference. Speculation about the Cold War going hot was always 100% theoretical. Betting about the number of deaths from Coronavirus is an ongoing tragedy where people are dying from everyday and maybe more being infected.

Wouldn't have made a good actuary, but I understand.

Trump falsely claims anybody who returns from Europe is being tested for coronavirus

When a reporter noted that an American could bring back the coronavirus even with Trump's new travel restrictions on some European countries, Trump said, "Sure. But we have them very heavily tested. If an American is coming back or anybody is coming back, we're testing. We have a tremendous testing set up where people coming in have to be tested."

Facts First: It's not true that Americans or others returning from Europe "have to be" tested for the coronavirus -- and no system is being set up to actually test these returning travelers.

Instead, they will be funneled to specific airports and put through an inspection known as "enhanced screening," which cannot prove whether someone has the virus. Previous US airport screening for the coronavirus has involved temperature checks, questions about travelers' health and travel history, and an inspection for symptoms like a cough or breathing trouble

Meanwhile, over at the Ministry of Truth for Pyongyang on the Potomac,
Dan Crenshaw rips Biden coronavirus tweet slamming Trump actions: ‘Walls quite literally stop a virus’

When it was our side of "the wall" that got hit by the plague first. Genius guys. Real fuggin' genius.

Not US, but now State sources in Brazil reporting that Bolsanaro DOES NOT, in fact, have COVID-19 (test was negative).

I'm not sure what to make of that. I don't trust Bolsonaro and his admin at all.

And thats AltRight by me.

The international tourist economies/globalists who will do anything to be outside of America. Which just so happens to align with the current state of politics.
