This virus could kill 100k Americans, could. When it kills 40k like regular flu, get back to me. The precautions are fine, the media driven panic is not.

Will be curious to monitor flu deaths now. The media reporting these covid deaths are just speculation unless there was a positive test.

All done with intent to drive more panic.

Now all the blue check marks are putting social media heat on mayors and governors to shut down all public spaces and bail out everyone.

No matter what happens during this we're all going to come out of this changed from what we were. I hated the media before March 1st. Hate does not even begin to describe what I feel for them now.

The reactions of the average citizen have been extremely disappointing. I'm trying to live normally and when I run out of things I go to the store and nothing's there because some hoarder needed 20 of something. That is largely media induced.

The reaction is the problem. Decisions should be made with a cool calm head. The left and the media have tried to panic society as much as possible. The president has tried to remain very calm. This is criticized by the leftist. The people who support Joe Biden for president.
Understand your point but, how many of you here actually keep enough food (long shelf life items) and water to support you and your family for a couple of months or so in case of an emergency. I have enough of food and water to last a few months. Started that about 8 years back or so when a heavy freeze with snow and ice kept me basically home bound for a little over two weeks with no water and very little food and no electricity. Was in my old house where pipes would freeze easily. Had a Coleman stove with about 4 propane bottles and a large grill in the back with two big bottles of propane. Used that to melt snow and ice for water. Luckily, we had a fire place with plenty of wood to keep us warm. Learned my lesson. Keep plenty of food and water for future and have since bought 2 generators with propane and gasoline engines and plenty of fuel.

AR-13, AR-14. Whatever it takes.

AR-10, designed by Eugene Stoner, Levi. Damn it, if you criticize something, at ensure your data is correct.

You are dismissed.
My info is correct you have no authority over me DA. Work on the AR-1 “Parasniper” rifle begins breaking new ground by using a foam-filled fiberglass stock and an anodized aluminum barrel with a thin steel liner. In 1954, Armalite was established as a Division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation. The AR-1 was one of the first rifles produced at Armalite’s location in Hollywood, CA, and paved the way to the development of the AR-10. All rifles were designated AR, short for Armalite Rifle. Shortly thereafter, Armalite submitted the AR-5, .22 Hornet Survival Rifle to the U.S. Air Force as a replacement for their then-standard survival rifle. The AR-5 was adopted and designated the MA-1 Survival Rifle.

Sometimes it's better not to act like you are an authority, especially when you don't know what you're talking about. DA so here is the Coup de Gra!

In the end, the AR-10 wasn’t able to catch up; the T-44 was adopted as the M-14 rifle in 1959. The AR-10 fell victim to both its own weaknesses, (normal in early models of any product) prejudice within the Army Ordnance Corps, and the head start of the other rifles. Based on what they saw in the AR-10, however, other Army officials asked ArmaLite to develop a smaller version of the AR-10 in 1956.

The ensuing rifle was called the AR-15.
 
Well the fact remains every one is an improved model of a weapon the Army asked to be developed for their paratroopers in combat. The AR-1 won a contest the Army had to pick the weapon of their choice for combat.
Is Joe Biden aware of that? Probably not. I feel sorry for you in November when you have to cast your vote for this shell of a man. If he wins who will your party pick to actually run the government? You know it will not be him. That is a fact.

Shell of a man? We're already there.
 
Show me which foods in USA come from China, what % of the total that it is, and that their supply has been disrupted. W/o that info, I'll continue to believe it's small to very small.
The poster you quoted referred to the food packaging and containers. A lot of that plastic, foam and cardboard packaging does come from overseas.
 
I'm enjoying watching some on here desperately trying to camo themselves as they reluctantly crawfish back to the real world of new unknown microbes that really are real threats to America at large---including them "for Gods sake!"
 
So you do agree. He is pathetic isn't he. Maybe Bernie can pull it out after they debate tonight and Joe forgets he is not in Arizona. Good luck to your man and don't forget to wash your hands.
Trump? damn straight. I'm not a huge fan of Biden and never was but he is much more of a man than Trump. I'll vote for him over Trump. Only a fool would look at what is going on today and do any different.

You are a psycho.

You love this.

You may not like the backlash.

Your side is so desperate it's been playing with fire for almost 4 years.
 
Here’s something else I didn’t realize.

We went months, all fall and winter, with coronavirus, we just didn’t know it. Was a “bad flu season”, something they say every flu season I believe, and everyone was fine.

....till China told us different. This is 10000% political bs/attack on our country.
 
I didn't say they did. Read my post again.

For the rest of your posts, if you don't understand how the supply chain is impacted then it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand why it can't hold up to this for extended periods
You wrote "First off alot of items come China. Maybe not the food itself but containers and items used in shipping. All that is disrupted already." I stick by my response.

And as I've said elsewhere, this hoarding can't continue indefinitely due to no place to go with all the stuff. Production can be increased to some degree & will catch up with demand with maybe some short out of stocks. But hoarding will not disrupt the food supply chain. The producers can & will keep on producing. You claim otherwise & I don't get that at all. And you never explain how it will. So continue to not being surprised by my supposed stupidity. I couldn't care less.
 
This virus could kill 100k Americans, could. When it kills 40k like regular flu, get back to me. The precautions are fine, the media driven panic is not.
Difference is you can protect yourself to some degree with a flu vaccine. Many choose not to. Anti-vaxxers, the uninformed, those that love risk, & the stupid can take their chances.

I think that's at least partly true. Tons of people had something. Could also explain why places like west Virginia have zero confirmed cases.

Either way, it's pretty certain that Jan 21 was not the first exposure. Just the first confirmed case. There was almost surely hundreds if not thousands of actual cases. Their entire data model and all this insanity is based on the premise that is almost surely wrong based upon inability to identify initial exposure.

If you think my post was talking about food from China when it explicitly says otherwise then I can't help you

The hoarding doesn't have to go on indefinitely. Most of this food is packaged in giant central locations. What do you think happens when they find out someone in that facility has it? Everything is shut down.

So the hoarding needs to end now

Just a few weeks. After that I'll have to start on our room full of toilet paper inventory.

What's your source of that? Thanks. I read that in winter of 17-18, 80K USA deaths - largest by far in many years - with range of 12-56K. So far this winter 55K. That looks like it will be less than 80K for the whole winter. So how is it the unknown Cv-19 caused a less than peak event?

You Googled and pasted stuff you knew and still know nothing about (as always) feigning to be knowledgeable all the while showing your ignorance. Then, as you always do you call the poster you attack a DA (District Attorney). Psssst, news flash that probably means they have more intelligence than you.

Oh I admit it isn't noble of me to enjoy the demise of your position but I have the same mercy for people like you that you've professed here over the years repeatedly. You cannot lie your way out of the jackpot this orange monkey has made for you. You lamely blame on others but the entire world know who cut funds, who fired the experts with experience to handle this threat, and who wasn't up to the job.

Cardboard for USA packaging is made as near to the fill site as possible to keep delivery costs down & to keep inventories down for just in time production. It doesn't come from China. You buy a case of 0.5L bottles of water & none of it is from China. I've been in more USA plastics production plants than you can shake a stick at. Quite often bottles are made & filled seconds later. Just stop this nonsense.

For hours or a day, maybe. Those folks are way more smart than government to let a mere virus stop them. They'll dress employees in hazmat suits & go on. I've worked in those plants temporarily on R&D projects.
