    Wish they'd ban the Trump account. I've been saying that for a while. He spews enough false information there's plenty of grounds.

    In case you are too ignorant to realize, CCP is the government while Twitter is a private company. Twitter can do whatever they like with their own property.

    Not surprisng though that feign some silly 'liberty defender' role and you want twitter to allow people like you to spead misinformation that puts the life of others at risk. I suggest you go and create your own platform where you and your sociopathic friends can have your won echo chamber and spew moronic nonsense and lies among yourselves.

    Henry Ford has a pretty reasonable guideline to turning people away to conserve resources

    This would not be good. Only early signs at this time but leaders should not allow this to happen... it takes just a few high profile nation joining in for this to escalate.

    US is a giant in food production. We'd be fine.

    It's a freaking drop in the bucket. This is a complete nothingburger.

    Please establish a frame of reference....

    Based off an article I read, the flu has killed an estimated 46,000 since October.

    Coronavirus has killed 27,000 in the last three weeks. It's also infected over a half a million in that time frame, so those numbers are continually rising.


    How's that?


    Now let's draw that time frame out?




    As of early March, the coronavirus outbreak had infected more than 100,000 people and killed more than 3,000 globally, the majority in China, where the illness was first detected in December. More than 750 people in the United States have been diagnosed, including at least 25 people who have died.

    By comparison, influenza — known as the common flu — has infected as many as 45 million Americans since October and killed as many as 46,000, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. President Trump invoked the large number of flu deaths each year in a tweet on Monday.



    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/03/04/coronavirus-flu-comparison/?outputType=amp



    I should add that's from The Washington Post, so you may just simply choose not to believe it.


    Now go to bed. You're drunk again.

    So according to your data, 46,000 died from the Flu in the US since October, and 30k have died globally from the Coronavirus since it debuted in December? Am I supposed to be impressed?

    27k have died in three weeks. This thing is just starting to ramp up. The flu is an established virus that we can keep at bay. This is not. It will only get worse, at least in the short term. In three more weeks, of this has killed 100,000 globally, will you start taking it more seriously? It may not take that long...

    30k have died since this started in December. Have you seen what's happened in China, South Korea and Japan? It died off.

    The death rate on this is likely quite low since we have no clue what the denominator is, due to limited testing. Look at Germany where they've done a lot of tests. Very low death rate.

    Total overreaction, in my view. We've wrecked the economy basically over the flu.

    and Italy?

    Death rate is low until the healthcare sector get overwhelmed.

    Ignorance is a disease

    Kinda yeah.... any rational person would say that’s a heck of a lot of new deaths from a new source of death.

    It’s kind of weird that you are tying to make this point. There’s obviously a new problem to deal with that should be taken seriously. I guess it’s par for the course with your bizarre online persona we’ve all come to deal with.

    I think there’s something wrong with you if you don’t think “hey somethings up” at this point.
