I give up - have it your way - you were the first to have your own corona pandemic.

Sorry guys, but this will be around way past 60 days. It's now March 19th. China itself has been dealing with it for at least 120 days as there timeline started back in December. They had a few days with no new cases, YET today they had 34. YES there population is huge. Plus you add the fact or there eating habits, like bats, rats dogs and cats multiplied by overcrowding, sure they will probably be the worst hit country on the planet. BUT they have turned the corner HOPEFULLY. North America should be able to do the same.

My friend has 2 daughters in direct contact with the virus with there hospitals in Toronto. They both received letters this week with pretty much a written guarantee they WILL GET COVID 19. They're both in there mid/late 20's. They WILL get sick, BUT THEY WILL RECOVER and once that happens, they WILL NOT GET IT AGAIN.

TIN FOIL HAT TIME!!!!!

Then you have this:

10th paragraph:
"The answer is, they didn’t. This virus was created at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and they published the highlights of their creation in November 2015. When you look at the list of “scholars” associated with this Frankenstein of a virus, you’ll see the name Zheng-Li Shi, who just happens to represent the Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Biosafety, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China. Of course, there were other scientists, most representing UNC, but there were also representatives from Bellinzona Institute of Microbiology, Zurich, Switzerland and Harvard Medical School."

Now some I have heard about wanting to bring back work from China and not have them a powerhouse in the world, well this virus is doing that!!!!! Next they wanted the southern US boarder closed to illegals, well that is done not too right?

So IF that article is correct, and was in fact made in a lab on NC, with the help of the head of all that Wuhan China stuff, and now it come out that one of the main players in the designing of this, is from GROUND ZERO of the outbreak. And it also just happens to coincides with 2 major issues of bring jobs back to the USA and being LESS dependant on China, plus closes the southern Mexico border.

Not sure I believe that whole thing 100%, but it does make one step back and think for a minute.........................

FACTS:

The reason Italy has been hit so hard is because they have the oldest population in Europe, and those elderly Italians aren't exactly social media butterflies that know what's going on in the world. That's why this flu spread so quickly in Italy, and the death toll is so high.

All 16 special COVID-19 hospitals have shut down in China because there aren't enough new cases of COVID-19 to justify the cost. The media hardly reported this.

The reason COVID-19 cases in America have skyrocketed in the past week is because we're TESTING for it now, so of COURSE cases will go up.

The vast majority of cases resulting in death are due to people with underlying health issues. Elderly people have ALWAYS been at risk when they contract the flu or pneumonia. Been that way since the dawn of time. Nothing is different with this flu virus.

Estimates say that 50 million of us may have already been exposed to the COVID-19 virus and we didn't even know it. It may have been nothing more than a slight cough, a sneeze, and by the next day all is well because your body fought it off.

When the H1N1 epidemic broke out in 2009, we didn't have mass panic, we didn't close schools, we didn't shut down businesses, we didn't self quarantine. The official CDC states that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases, 274,000 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths in the U.S.

Why no panic back then?

Here's a chart from the CDC (Center For Disease Control) on the COVID-19 outbreak, and how many people died of the flu/pneumonia in 2018.

So STOP overreacting, STOP clicking on every biased 'doom and gloom' media story bent on destroying America, our way of life, and our economy.

The reason why there was no panic during the H1N1 epidemic in April 2009 was because the country was already in panic mode due to The Great Recession. That was what the media was covering and that was what the Fed was responding to.

You have to look at where we were right before the CV19 pandemic hit:

Record unemployment low

Record stock market high

Full recovery of the housing market

Everything was roses, waterfalls and rainbows. The only thing on the minds of Americans and in the media was the 2020 election. So maybe now you can understand when it all turned upside down literally overnight.

GameStop: We Can Stay Open During Lockdowns Because We're 'Essential Retail'

The video game retail chain GameStop told all of its stores this afternoon to stay open even in the event of state or city lockdowns to protect against the covid-19 pandemic, emphasizing that it is “essential retail” alongside groceries and pharmacies and should therefore be exempt from enforced closures.

“Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers’ experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time,” the retailer said in a memo to staff this afternoon, obtained by Kotaku.

If you are not familiar with GameStop, they are a retailer that sells gaming consoles and video games which happens to be on the very edge of going bankrupt.
