^ Data within this matrix is flawed as shit.
USA: 1,016 cases, 31 deaths, 3.05% death rate as of March 11, 2020, 13:05 GMT

How many Americans has joe Biden threatened physical violence against? Saw the video today of the veteran who was telling Biden he was disqualified due to his war mongering, Biden again mentions one of his sons, the veteran says he’s not going after his son, and Biden says, “you better not be”.
What an unhinged psychopath. At least when Hilary was suggesting physical violence and murder of people like Assange, she was doing it behind closed doors.

You seriously comparing a virus to a terrorist attack? I didn't realize you could get Al Queda from touching a dirty doorknob. And had no idea a bad cold killed 1-6% of those who get it.
Trump is just proving how awful he is at handling a real crisis. Less than a week ago he said this was contained and it's now exploded to nearly 40 states.
And his answer is to give socialist corporate welfare to the fossil fuel industry. Gotta take care of his buddies.
One of the questions I'm asked by "country folk" I most times refuse to answer is: "My Daddy whipped my ass good, a bunch of times, and it didn't do me any harm, did it you?"
I have noticed that the people who never brag about getting beat were far more likely to be calm, prone to be more considerate, and as a rule less judgmental. But the obvious follow-up question I never ask is: How do yo know and why do you think it caused you no harm?

I think 4 years ago I would've been more worried about Biden. The only way Biden would beat Trump today is he would have to have a stupid good youth turnout (similar to Obamas youth turnout) and Bernie couldn't even get youth turnout in primaries. If they aren't even turning out for Bernie I don't see them turning out for Biden.
What a duplicitous hypocrite you are. Trump isn't man enough to meet a man face-to-face so of course he tells others to do that kind of crap at his campaign rallies but you never mentioned that.
Maybe Trump should send a pallet of cash to the Chinese to make it go away.
I mean, it worked for the previous idiot, right?
But look at where the vast majority of the deaths are isolated at an old folks home in Washington State. Remove them from the equation and what are the numbers for the rest of the country?

I think the virus crash took the sting out of Trump's lose condition, a surprise September economic meltdown for "no reason". IMO Trump would be in a lot more trouble if they had a guy like Bernie or Yang up there promising payment for vote than a sad angry old man who is losing his mind.

Clyburn calls for shutting Dem primary down, canceling debates after Biden surge
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cl...mary-down-canceling-debates-after-biden-surge
That’s a good idea. Let’s go ahead and cancel the general too if they plan to cancel the primary.
odd that there is not one "big name" or person of power that has contracted this virus.. Mainly old people or people nobody has heard of, unimportant people per say. We do have some politicians that are "self " quarantining because of "possible" contacts, but really NO big names from something that has spread everywhere (they say) and is so high risk (they say) . I'm thinking since this originated in China (they say) why is there no overload of infected at the point of entry, IE crews from the ships that bring China goods here. Not read or heard of any of those ships having virus issues. They seem to be more interested in the airplanes and cruise ships coming in.. does this virus know who to pick and choose?

Jeff Sessions should have never rolled over and let the coup proceed. Trumps frustrations aren’t understandable.
Typical authoritarian, anti-democratic Dim response. We don't need voters, just do as we, your betters, tell you to do.
1000 out of 327M in USA - 0.0003% - isn't many, now is it?
Echoing what Tucker has been saying for a week:
"What has been the most galling and dangerous weakness to be exposed—but also the most correctable one—is the realization of how dependent the United States is upon China for lifesaving drugs, for hazmat suits, and for N95 masks.
For all sorts of critical products, we don’t and currently can’t make them ourselves. Ninety-seven percent of antibiotics used in the United States are made in China, 80 percent of the chemical components necessary for the drugs that we do make here come from China. Within one year, nearly the entire production of N95 masks went from “Made in USA” to “Made in China.” The U.S. Strategic Stockpile currently holds just 12 million N95 masks, a small fraction of the 3.5 billion the DHS estimates we would need in the event of a pandemic. This is insane and it must change.
Outsourcing manufacturing to China has done incalculable damage to the United States. It’s impoverished countless towns and many millions of people. It’s shrunk the American middle class and made it more precarious. And that’s led to all kinds of social and political distress from skyrocketing opiate addiction and deaths to an embrace of radical politics.
For some people the connections between these things are too abstract or they just shrug and say, “Well, that’s the market” as if Americans—real people—exist to serve “the market” rather than markets existing to serve Americans by making their lives better. But the simple fact that we can’t make the very products necessary to provide lifesaving healthcare for Americans in a time of crisis isn’t an abstraction. It’s real, it’s dangerous, and it’s time to change."
Trump wants to change it & DA Dims fight it every step in the name of globalization +TDS. Idiots!

Trump has been saying this since before he was elected. This is one of the reasons I supported him. Even the least intelligent among us should have know someday we would have to pay the piper by allowing China to be so involved in our commerce. Cheap or slave labor drives their economy and is very attractive to U.S. politicians. Unfortunately many are making millions off of the arrangement.
Our medicine should be made only in the U,S. and the manufacturing plants should be spread out across the nation Not just one city or town. I do not buy any food from China, especially seafood.
To hear the media, Italy is in total shutdown. Yet when you go to webcams in Italy there are people out everywhere.
Also, I may have missed it, but We keep hearing of hospitals swamped with patients, a thread on this page with a pic from Italy showed equipment moved in an OR, but no patients. When Ebola was running rampant you couldn’t turn on the news without seeing providers in full gear, pictures of the sick, and so on.
I’m not saying the Coronavirus is a hoax, it’s most definitely real, but is it being overhyped for affect?

Is the 2A actually under siege? In my 25 years here I've never had someone come to my door and ask for guns.
Every single person thats calling for panic and discourse is on the left.
That's really all one needs to know to understand what's going on
They have been attempting to make this political since the first day it was exposed. Never a chirp from them when Obama sit around when a health crisis hit his administration.
He wasted his money didn't he.
Yep they got what they wanted and knew what they were doing at the time. Whether they thought they had to or not. It was a choice as far as I know. (Not talking some individual cases as I haven't spent much time reading about it.)
