Nation Baffled That Former Reality-Show Host Not Prepared for This
WASHINGTON —Millions of Americans are mystified that
a former reality-show host is not prepared for this, Americans confirmed on Thursday.
In interviews across the country,
individuals expressed shock and bafflement that
the vast skill-set necessary to headline a prime-time entertainment program
would somehow not be adequate to address a global pandemic.

I'm just a little baffled that the media isn't reporting anything positive like how fast people are recovering from this. Googled it last night because I was curious as to what's happening with everyone who is infected but aren't dying, i.e the overwhelming majority, and there's nothing clear or concise. *SHRUG* Just keep scaring the stupid stupider, I guess.
maybe because they are trying to be responsible so that people will take it seriously and stop spreading it?
maybe because trump did that already and you can read how his fellators are in denial all over this site-
or did you just ignore all that?
Simple= because it ain't serious, so Media can get away with withholding truth. Not like during 9/11.
It's good news as long as they're busting each other's balls in Congress/Trump. When they start working together ashen-faced then you should worry.
This virus is not his fault. Our being a society built on principles of individual freedom might actually hurt in this situation.
My feeling is this would severely rattle any president.
But.
We got a habitual liar and even the Trumpeters don’t trust his words, but they did like his delivery and who he picked on.
Now we see why telling the GD truth makes a difference. No one trusts this clown. He could be perfectly correct and still he is not trusted. For 3+ years he has spewed . So people expect . Reliability is gone. He rode a wave of stability while showing a great deal of instability. The wave is gone.
This thing will end and as a country we will be relatively fine. I wonder if people will remember what makes a good leader. When Trump says my fellow Americans, while ting on specific groups of people.... well now it means something.
Yes.
Let’s all pull together for the great orange divider.
God damn, you're such an eager little muff to get your stupid shots in there. Basically, you're saying only report the "bad" because the positive isn't worth reporting.
For someone who hates Trump, you've sure got oppression and repression skills in common, you sucker you.
...if that happens then it will be serious. Pelosi was all jocularity this morn. Thank Christ.
Black pll thought they were immune
funny how i answered your question with zero attacking of you
and your response...lol
ok
here is some positive news: at least we got those emails from her!
It really isn't that serious. Just do the math. As of last week, you had a .000000375% of catching and dying from this virus. Something like 70% of the Chinese who are infected are coming up Milhouse (when he had the flood pants on).
You insinuated I purposely ignored the "Trump fellators" which you always lump me in with, you re , which still had no bearings on my initial thoughts.
most ppl usually get a flu once, twice a season. most probably miss 1, 2 days of work
this is at least 10x worse. most ppl will get it once or twice a season. most will miss 10, 20 days now
even if you ignore the economic effect, deaths, etc
its a game changer
Agreed, Chooch.
wrong chooch
i pointed out the fellators in this site like ducks who took trumps
”the flu kills more people”
and ran with it - spreading misinformation...
which is really dangerous during a full blown pandemic
and tried to point out why “maybe” the media was doing the responsible thing
didnt even think of your role in any of it - only that you overlooked it
but hey- “its not serious” might not age well IMO
I posted earlier on the guy in quarantine in Nebraska. Been 30 days and he's still testing positive. He's never felt ill other than a 103F fever the first day.
It does appear it takes a long time to clear this bug. From the studies done it seems 7-10 days is roughly the period where the body produces the cytokine storm and sends them into critical condition.
I keep seeing this take as though it should be news that a virus with less than 100% mortality rate will have survivors.
~2%
Way to downplay the significance of that fact with that strawman.
The narrative (and that's all it is) is that it's a death sentence and people are dropping like flies.
So far, the new coronavirus has led to more than 100,000 illnesses and more than 3,000 deaths worldwide. But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 34 million illnesses, 350,000 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Death rate
The death rate from seasonal flu is typically around 0.1% in the U.S., according to The New York Times.
The death rate for COVID-19 appears to be higher than that of the flu.
In the study published Feb. 18 in the China CDC Weekly, researchers found a death rate from COVID-19 to be around 2.3% in mainland China. Another study of about 1,100 hospitalized patients in China, published Feb. 28 in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that the overall death rate was slightly lower, around 1.4%.
Still, the death rate for COVID-19 appears to vary by location and an individual's age, among other factors. For instance, in Hubei Province, the epicenter of the outbreak, the death rate reached 2.9%; in other provinces of China, that rate was just 0.4%, according to the China CDC Weekly study. In addition, older adults have been hit the hardest. The death rate soars to 14.8% in those 80 and older; among those ages 70 to 79, the COVID-19 death rate in China seems to be about 8%; it’s 3.6% for those ages 60 to 69; 1.3% for 50 to 59; 0.4% for the age group 40 to 49; and just 0.2% for people ages 10 to 39. No deaths in children under 9 have been reported.
So what Chucho is saying is that there's a reason to not panic, but then that doesn't really salve the left's need to construct a narrative for the upcoming election.

RIP Trump
he had a good run
It's not a strawman, dumbass. The threshold at which a virus has survivors is below 100% - meaning, unless there is a 100% mortality rate for a disease, people are going to survive it. So crying about how the media isn't reporting about people surviving COVID-19 is basically like saying you don't understand mortality rates.
The 2% number is fairly well known at this point, so I'm sorry if you're disappointed that I didn't care to include it in my post.
Put the orangegutan in quarantine tbqh
Also Penis
Let Pelosi take over
Notice I didn't use an ad hom like you did?
It is a strawman. No disease has 100% morality rate, but life itself does. It is newsworthy that the overwhelmingly large majority of new cases of COVID-19 will not result in death or even in serious conditions. It's just not being reported because panic sells. Keep smoking that .
Trudeau also in self quarantine. his wife getting tested
