CORONA Main Coronavirus thread

Do you think he was so uncomfortable with the virus subject because he is such a germaphobe? Did you notice that he cut off another expert starting to go to the podium by pointing at a reporter and getting it side tracked to a question and answer session before the experts who were there were finished with their presentation? I think they wanted to say more but he cut them off.

Personally, no. He had no personal knowledge of the virus. He immediately referred to the anecdotal "its just the flu bro" and that "its nothing. Ebola exploded people" foolishness. He constantly looked for approval from the medical professionals on stage with him. In this issue, he is an empty suit.

You hear the same bs from HHS, CDC and the lot that has been said for the last several weeks. They are trying to hide it into the flu and have even convinced Trump that the "flu kills a bunch of people" so that when the bodies start to stack up he will be like the majority of the clueless and think "man, this is a bad flu season".

He looked as impotent as buttigieg, as confused as biden, as caring as hillary, and as serious as Bernie. For the love of all things Holy I don't know what he was thinking. It convinced no one. Those that believe everything he says will not prepare and will continue to trust the empty suit. Those that pillory him at every opportunity will have endless ammunition now. He lost the White House tonight. We may lose the country if an adult doesn't show up.

"rondaben, He lost the White House tonight. We may lose the country if an adult doesn't show up.”

If this breaks out here, he backed himself into a very small corner. I can already see the commercials in my head. And if that happens I fear you may be right. This was his no new taxes, mission accomplished moment. I pray for our nation that doesn’t happen. Take that with Tuckers take the other day and there is a chance it could happen. Unfortunately.

And just saw that 80% of the “church” members tested in South Korea have tested positive.

Also disappointed in the overall tone...but government priority at this juncture would be not to panic the masses....but he still could have presented more truth. To his credit there was one sentence where he said something like ……..hey ya know what it's about; like you can't create a panic..... Can't put in quotes cause not exact words...did anyone else catch that? Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.

What a bunch of completely Negative BS....your OVER REACTION is showing. You can light your hair on fire if you wish....LOL....however---

Bottom Line

TRUMP hasn't lost me or my vote!

Government cannot stop or change events at this point....its up to each of us as individuals to look after our own health and welfare....Me: I've received an order of Masks, a case of Sambucol and I live at the end of a half mile dirt road out in the country. (a pre-prep) I don't drive nor have a vehicle but FEDEX knows me well, I have enough preps out here that I can survive for over two years all by myself.

Grabbing more Vitamin C today.

Good time to remind myself how to make some great tasting (I hope) tea from pine needles (packed with Vitamin C):

Pine Needle Tea Recipe

That's why I'm freeze drying oranges and powdering them, peelings and all (keep peels separate, use where orange zest is called for) They loose the bitter taste when freeze dried.

I dehydrate the stinging nettles that grow profusely here ( Blue Ridge Mountains,VA) They are extremely high in Vit C and many other nutrients. I add them to soups and stews, scrambled eggs etc, but you can also make tea with them. They have a lot more C than citrus fruits. They are also very high in protein. A true super food. They are quite widespread in the US.

Of course Trump is a little rattled. He knows what’s going to happen. Just like we know what can happen. Who here isn’t rattled
If he knows for-sure it's inevitably going to get really bad,
he would have couched his words a little bit differently to
give himself a better out for when it all goes south. What
he did tonight, if/when it goes sour, is provide lot of juicy
snippets that will be used in political ads against him.

I can't say whether he knows that for-sure, though, or not.

Just chatted with a friend who lives in the UK just outside of London. She’s up with a sick baby. Everyone is freaking out there about the leaked gov’t report that the worst case scenario is 80% of their population will get it, and half a million people will die. She said everyone is going nuts with plans to get to the store and stock up and find masks. Many Londoners are seriously stressing about taking the Tube and the close quarters of shops, restaurants, and schools. Some local news person there said it’s likely already in London and spreading... it’s just a matter of when it will show up.

Somewhere alolng
There was an explosion at a California refinery. Until and if they can get it back on line I expect west coast gas and home heating fuel prices to increase at least for the short term. The picture of the explosion looked pretty impressive. They may be forced to build a new refinery. In the long run that might not be a bad thing.

Trying to do that with the eco winnies in Cali may prove problematic but so does walking long distances.

Somewhere along the way, fracking will no longer be profitable. At that point we will have to import oil, unless our economy goes into the tank.

Yes, but rather than be Susy Sunshine everything is going to be just great, Trump needed to rise to the occasion and be more honest as to what we might be facing. It wouldn't have had to be the worst case scenario but he was painting an unrealistic best case. Tonight's overconfident speech will quickly come back to bite him as soon as cases start popping up in a handful of cities.

Just a heads up for Florida people -- there has been a case seen in an ER in Central Florida, very mild, probably the corona virus that goes around like all the other viruses. There are quite a few strains and only four are the bad ones. The test they use to determine flu will also indicate corona virus as well as other viruses, so there is testing available.

I do not want to give any location information on where the patient was treated. It is probably within 15 miles of me and I now live in Lakeland Highlands (no more EYW, now it is GIF -- LOL)

Wouldn't be due west, would it? :(

Personally, my biggest concern is we have a massive outbreak brewing below the surface,
1,000's of CoronaVirus cases already here, but hidden among the flu stats, so none of them
are being tracked, nor in any quarantine, out freely & actively infecting thousands more...

He lost the White House tonight. We may lose the country if an adult doesn't show up.

Depends on what happens...

*IF* this really takes off, the economy tanks, and nothing is done to help people with healthcare costs that contract it ( I couldn't believe the guy who was charged almost 4 grand for a negative test )... Yes.

This virus COULD see America voting in a socialist government.
