    Ah, nothing better than an unwarranted superiority complex to protect yourself from the virus.

    Ok, where did it first originate? Better yet where would be the best logical place to start if the world was to attempt a program to stop it before is started?

    The virus could wipe out everyone over the age of 60 which would remove most of Congress and require a 3rd party candidate of younger age to volunteer to take the helm

    Well since you cant bring yourself to blame the countries that are the usual creators of these type viruses I suppose blaming Trump, America or anyone not aligned with your odd way of looking at it then I suppose Trump is aa good as any to blame ;)

    Since Trump, Biden and Saunders are all old enough to fall into the most at risk group then this virus may well seriously impact the election.
    Added to the mental deterioration at least two of the three are showing signs of this may be the time to introduce an upper age limit for presidential candidates.
    Before anyone chants ''agism'' it is already accepted that there should be a lower age limit so why not an upper limit?

    I hadn't thought of it that way. Maybe we should move the quarantine facilities to down town D.C.

    And yet life will go on! China will continue to hang their swine, poultry and dog in the hot sun while the flies, fleas and people feed on that nasty meat... Of course, they will have 1.5 billion people to sacrifice to the sun God while other smaller countries they infect will eventually die off and they will "As promised" rule the planet..

    Yaaaaaayyyyy :)

    I've seen no panic or hysteria, other than Costco running out of toilet paper (heh heh ... local supermarket had plenty). But if we aren't getting real information, isn't it wise to err on the side of caution? If Trump downplays this too much, which is what he's doing IMO, many will ignore taking precautions and they could help spread this disease. As someone who falls within the death demographic, I'm not willing to risk my life based on the misinformatiin coming from Trump, who only cares about the numbers and how they affect him personally.

    I watch news all the time, CNN, MSNBC included. I've heard NOBODY say they are praying for more deaths.

    Sorry, epic fail on proof.

    Your last paragraph was a personal insult. The rules here don't allow that.

    Trump is taking every precaution while simultaneously saying no reason to panic. Why would you want panic?

    I hope you’ve had time to prepare your new house in all the ways necessary for you to take the precautions you need. Stay safe.

    On the lighter side, if everyone was talking doom and gloom the supermarket would be out of TP as well and I’d be selling you corn cobs through Amazon. :)

    Trump contradicts himself, Josephwalker, and then his people have to explain it out to the public.

    He is doing the same thing with COVID 19.

    Will Covid-19 determine the outcome of November 2020?

    Only if it kills one of the candidates.

    Where did I say I wanted panic?

    Trump continuously downplays, and outright lies about the numbers (big surprise). He's much more concerned about the effects on the stock markets, since he's hung his re-election hopes on the Dow. I don't believe that "every precaution" bit except where it concerns his own person, which is the only thing he has ever cared about.

    Ouch! :icon_jawdrop: I lived on a tobacco farm in Kentucky for a couple of years in my youth. Even our outhouse had toilet paper.

    I filled this place with a pretty good supply of many things before I even moved my belongings in. I'm a worst case scenario paranoid. I'm arranging to have my food and my dog's food delivered for the time being, and I can get almost everything else from Amazon Prime (except for face masks).

    Thanks, you stay safe, too.

    There is nothing stops that no government plan nothing. Sorry they didn't die from lack of care. The majority were people who were old and already suffering from other conditions. The problem was that the vaccinations, for whatever reason were less effective than normal compounded by the anti vac nonsense.

    Yeh the corn cob thing mystifies me. Seems to me it could be an old wives tale or something...

    Just out of curiosity, are you decontaminating deliveries somehow?
