Well when Moscow Mitch has hundreds of bills, many with bipartisan support from the House, sitting on his desk this comes as no surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had virus break outs before and measures like this weren’t taken. We had social media back then as well. You didn't follow the Russian hacking of the US election in 16. That was all done through social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it.. I have the most awful flu I have every experienced (at least I hope its flu..), and work would still like me to come in on the weekend since I missed a lot of days this week. I will disinfect everything of course but still seems like an unnecessary risk considering where we are at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton Peck Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 A lot of misinformation out there for sure. I think a lot of people were using this instructional video from the 90's on how to prepare: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanukfanatic Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Petey40 said: I never said you said social media was killing people, I’m saying the anxiety and constant talk of this situation is because of the amount of people dying and country wide lockup’s going on not because of social media. The situation is not over hyped it’s just a serious situation. And there are still so many people calling this the flu and brushing it off so maybe the constant attention is exactly what people need to realize this is a serious situation. I did not mean to imply a narrative I just disagree that this situation is overhyped. The things being done have never happened because of a virus in our lifetime. But would you agree that social media has really really ramped up their reporting on this virus compared to past years? I mean, more than 4,600 people have died from coronavirus. From Oct 1 2019 to Feb 29 2020 there were 20,000 to 52,000 deaths from the flu in the USA alone. 4600 WORLDWIDE DEATHS FROM CORONAVIRUS - Dec 2019 till now 20000-52000 FLU DEATHS JUST IN THE USA - Oct till now 250000-500000 FLU DEATHS EACH YEAR WORLDWIDE You are right. This is not the flu so far. So far, it has many less deaths. Yes, that could change. I know we all have to pay attention. But the fear mongering has hit a whole new level and that is not helping our young people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even do research before posting utterly stupid and wrong facts like you just did??? Population in 1918 = 1.8 billion Probable Spanish flu deaths = 17.4 million (but could have been higher) % of human population that died from spanish flu = 1% of human population https://ourworldindata.org/spanish-flu-largest-influenza-pandemic-in-history Go actually read facts before you post utter nonsense. Good god..... With your fake numbers 600 million people would have died when in reality it was 17 million (up to 50). HUGE difference. Check your numbers in future before posting and create further fear and confusion. Edited March 12, 2020 by Kanukfanatic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
