    I don't watch FOX News, but I'm willing to bet they are also telling you the same.
    This thing is already way more widespread than is being reported, yet we only have around 1K dead. Even if we ended up with 40K dead, that would be comparable to the flu. Not something you shut society and the global economy down for. People died to make this country relatively free, this is a slap in their face, this is pissing on their graves. We don't have enough freedoms as it is frankly, and the state is trying to take more, and more, and more. Screw all of that. Enough is enough. What's happening now resembles what you'd see the Chinese government do. It's the opening volley into true tyranny.

    So you believe that asking people to keep six feet apart is a hoax?

    No Sir. These are the last pieces of advice we need to adopt. You little kids......get your happy little asses back in school. Young people.....get back to slopping food and drink at us. Business, needs to get back to business.

    PJL.....you ran with "Corona is a hoax" for three f'n weeks. Now suddenly....Americans are to shelter in place while China is up to full capacity? I smell a big fat nasty rat. The media too involved. The American People have folded like a f'n tent and need to wake up. Today.

    This economy needs to open back up. This virus....will kill. Like every other virus we've every encountered....without shutting the planet down. This is unreasoned hysteria and those that are pushing it now....told us not one week ago that this was a massive hoax. That it wasn't to be believed, it was "contained."

    The blame was then put on the US Congress. The US media. Ad the US President, not one word of criticism for the country where the "outbreak" initiated, not one word about how this virus then sickened the entire western world. We the People are having our fears manipulated, we need to nip this shiit in the bud. And return to business.

    It's the only thing that bothers me but as you and others invariably point out, I'm not an American so don't ignore laws that have been enabled through Parliament, or suggestions that make sense either.

    That's right, you're a subservient little statist.

    Of course it's a hoax. Let's look at a January 2019 link on the flu virus in Canada...….just to show you how ridiculous this is.

    Flu activity remains high in Canada, according to a new report released on Friday that confirms children and teens were hit hard.A total of 17,743 laboratory-confirmed flu cases have been reported, the Public Health Agency of Canada said in its weekly FluWatch report.
    And by all means do look at that FluWatch report linked to there, that is a fascinating look at a raging virus that decimates annually.
    Six pediatric deaths occurred so far this season, all children under the age of 10. There were also 95 pediatric admissions to ICU for flu.
    Would the media be losing it's shiit and throwing manure out to be grazed on should this Coronavirus sent 95 Canadian Children to the ICU.....killing 6 of them?

    Now that's just a truly scary link right there concerning the flu and children in Canada. Shocking is what I's say. Look at these quotes

    "Bottom line is that this one has a bigger impact on kids," said Dr. Sanjay Mehta, a pediatrician at Kindercare in Toronto. "So this is the year where we're potentially going to see more death and devastation from it."

    "As of Dec. 29, the most recent data available from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), there were 13,796 laboratory-confirmed influenza cases across the country, with the provinces and territories reporting 1,046 hospitalizations and 24 deaths."

    "Since September, PHAC reported 414 children under 16 have been hospitalized for flu, with the highest estimated rate of admission among kids under five."

    Influenza A is the most common form of the virus circulating in Canada, and the majority of these viruses are H1N1. The Canadian report covers the period Dec. 30 to Jan. 5.
    H1N1....is the most common form of the flu...in Canada? Uhhh…..do you know how devastating the H1N1 flu virus is? Look to the next quote below.


    Elsewhere on Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated 69,000 to 84,000 Americans were hospitalized due to the flu in the last three months. The U.S. saw one of the worst flu outbreaks in nearly a decade during the 2017-2018 season, with more than 900,000 cases of hospitalizations and over 80,000 deaths, the CDC estimates .
    That right there answers the question....how deadly is the H1N1....in 2017-2018..the US sees one of its' worst flu outbreaks...….and it hospitalizes 900.000 and causes over 80,000 deaths.....just in the United States, the global flu numbers are devastating.

    The H1N1 virus is also the predominant strain in the U.S. this year.
    Oh is it.....and yet we candy-asses have closed to schools....for Corona......and having to listen to idiots tell us to shelter in place.


    Flu infections bring fever, cough, general malaise and achy muscles and joints.Health officials in both countries say it's not too late to get a flu vaccine to reduce the risk of contracting the virus.
    They also recommend that people stay at home and not go to work or school if ill. Everyone is encouraged to wash their hands often, and to cough and sneeze into your elbow
    What? Wash your hands often....cough and sneeze into your elbow.....and don't go to work if your sick...what? Where is the stand 6 feet apart? Why didn't schools close this flu virus in Canada saw children hardest hit...and no one closed schools.
