POLITICAL THREAD

[trueblujr2]

One player on one team gets sick...that team has to go into quarantine. The teams they have played in the last 5 days all have to be tested and do the same. Now how do you hold a tournament? Pretty sure they will cancel the entire NCAA tourney in the next 24-48 hours.

Do they do that when a player has the flu? hell Hagans and Richards played against Evansville with the flu according to Calipari. These are some of the healthiest people on the planet. They are very low risk. If they get it, They will recover from it and their symptoms will likely be mild. To an extent, I get the banning of spectators, to protect those that might be in a higher risk category, but I would hope most of those people would be smart enough to ban themselves from attending something where they might risk exposure. 1 in 247K people diagnosed with it in this country. More people (of all ages) have DIED from the flu this year than have been diagnosed with Coronavirus.

 

[trueblujr2]

The market disagrees with you.

Also all the public health experts have said his actions will do nothing to help the public. They do further crush airline and other travel related stocks.

So tell me what actions Saints Obama or Hillary would have taken that would have helped the public?

 

[SomeDudeCRO]

I don’t trust any of this

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Man, talk about total suck. Just total.

I'm more upset about a potential tournament cancellation than I am about the thousands of $ my stock portfolio lost so far this month.

I had $260 on Kentucky to win the SEC tournament

Had $250 on five teams (50 a piece) in the NCAA tournament

Had already beat $700 on The Masters

(Masters hasn't cancelled but if every other sport shuts down golf probably will too)

I'm sure the casino will refund those...but I was really excited about all those events, even more so cause I could legally bet them for the first time.

 

[BigBlueDave]

Hmmm, which country has the lowest number of cases per million? Basically one in every 247,000 people have been diagnosed so far in the US. Yet it's mass panic and hysteria, cancel everything, buy up all the toilet paper, hole up in your disinfected house in the fetal position, so you don't die.

Trillions in wealth just went poof.



To the chart, without a cure, how can China's numbers not increase? Exponentially, like we are being told is inevitable here?

Factories are reopening and people are returning to work.

How?

For the sake of their medical infrastructure, how can they be returning to work?


This was two weeks ago:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...-factory-shutdown-next-few-weeks-are-crucial/


Welp, they were locked down. Nutten gonna spread locked down.

So, they are returning to work, yet no cure. Won't the numbers go back up?

China has had ~81,000 with ~63,000 recovered and adding less than 20 /day currently.

If China tops out at 100000, how the heck is the US going to have MILLIONS of cases.

 

[trueblujr2]

How much do you want to bet those statistics will be the same two weeks from now (1 out of every 247K). Let's think through this. Testing kits are just now starting to roll out. What happens when many people begin to get tested because they are showing symptoms? Name your dollar amount. I agree it there is a lot of panic, but the US is just getting started with this. It won't remain at 1 out of 247K

Listen Ding Dong. I'm fully aware that number is going to change. My post was referencing the CURRENT statistics. I'll go out on a limb and say also that once these testing kits come available and more and more people turn up with it, that the mortality rate will fall more in line with the common flu as well.

 

[rqarnold]

So tell me what actions Saints Obama or Hillary would have taken that would have helped the public?

They wouldn’t have dismantled the CDC thus allowing them to get test kits developed and distributed before they were needed, not trying to play catch-up as we are doing.
They also would have allowed the public health officials speak, not filtering everything through the White House concerned about any political ramifications.
They wouldn’t try and belittle the problem and thus setting the attitudes of people that they shouldn’t be concerned.

China took much stricter containment steps. They basically locked down an entire area early in.

RQ/Fuzz in seventh heaven. MSM created Flu panic causing a market crash. He’ll need an extra bottle of jergens tonight. But let me tell him this straight. The American people are never going to be stupid enough to elect Joe Biden.

Ha! They were stupid enough to elect Trump. Let that sink in.

 

[Mash 2.4]

They were. And the nation was doing very well. And will again. But when treason and coups won’t do the trick, create a disease panic to crash the market. Nothing is beyond these people.

The CDC was not dismantled, where is this nonsense coming from?
What public health official hasn’t been allowed to speak?
One thing they wouldn’t have had is the MSM whipping the public into furor.

False, his record on past viruses that were not as bad begs to differ with you.

So it doesn't exist there anymore?

Nothing to spread?

False, not early. Only after realizing it was a problem did they act. They can control their masses better no matter what stage it is in. Stay where you are at or die from a gun shot wound. Either way, it would stop spreading.

 

[SomeDudeCRO]

no tournament, personally I thought we would've come together and taken a pretty good shot at it

 

[55wildcat]

People will look back on this in the next few months and realize just how ****ing stupid they acted, they (the left) will never admit but they will realize they were duped...

 

[BBUK]

So tell me what actions Saints Obama or Hillary would have taken that would have helped the public?

He will have to consult with them first. They need to gain consensus before making such a hasty decision. (Yeah, that is how that leadership did it IF they did anything at all. Which mostly they only tried shaping this country into a Demosocialcommunist haven.)

-from snopes nonetheless. congress is in charge of the budget. No funding cuts passed.

-a few upper management vacancies unfilled...not a smoking gun.

-i will agree that the federal bureaucracy has not performed up to snuff(shocking). Placing blame on a politician is dumb.

Wait. You’re telling me RQ/Fuzz is full of shit? He told me Trump slashed and gagged the CDC.

 

[Mashburned]

No March Madness? Really??

If China really wants to put a hurtin on us, wait a little bit longer, let virus grow, and then cut our internet. This country would rip itself apart in no time without internet access.

Your right it has happened before and they will jump on that wagon again....3 types of people in this world, those that have some common sense, the gullible/simpletons, and the greedy. Guess who falls for all this shit and guess who capitalizes from it, and guess who cries like a baby while it's going on because they are losing when it's over.. The left is now trying to jockey some of the coronavirus funds to help fund their abortions....It's a clown show

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Biden, D's and the media are just repeating communist talking points. Eventually putting the US as the one to blame for the pandemic

 

[bigblueinsanity]

The Spanish Flu is said to have killed upwards of 50 million people worldwide. Can you imagine if that happened in today’s environment?

Depends who the president might be. If it's a dem they'll praise them with their last breath.

His next sentence numbnuts

"and these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom."

Hence why he immediately sent out tweets and Facebook posts and sent all his people to the new networks to try and fix the screw up as the markets crashed. He can't even read a speech from a prompter.

You're the one I hope never pro-creates.

 

[BBUK]

No one watching that speech as a citizen gave two shits about what you’re concerned about, seriously. Trade and cargo has next to nothing to do with the disease. I really can’t even fathom why the left is concerned with that line. We’re talking about protecting the populace, that line was for the market.

Why? Because their ilk are STILL trying to catch President Trump in a legitimate lie. See, Bush lied and they used that to defeat him. They are searching for ANY chance to defeat President Trump. President Trump has never had to apologize. They are MOST disturbed by that fact and President Trump knows it, THEY know it. They just can't "legitimately" catch him at it. All they can do is what they ALWAYS do, they LIE and keep stating President Trump is lying. It has ALWAYS worked for them in the past...

You got to tell the lost toe story.

Drunk, at night, fishing for catfish below the Logan-Martin dam standing on the huge riprap... In flip-flops. Lost my footing and fell, ankle bone got caught in a crevice, big rock I was standing on shifted when I sat down on it to try to get loose and that caused the rocks underneath it to shift around and crush my foot. Pinky toe not worth the money/time to save it.

I used to post as "9knuckles" on some old UK websites.

 

[Bill Derington]

The reaction we’re seeing now will never happen again. I honestly can’t believe the msm conducted themselves in this manner.

When this blows over they’ll claim victory, and then move to we must do the same with global warming.
