Nobody traces the flu and we have flu vaccines and flu medications like Tamiflu. At this point we have nothing for COVID19.

I know you're a doctor and have a code of ethics, but I understand you're also smart enough to understand the concepts of both triage and "evolution in action".

Hello Darth,
The flu is not normally as contagious as this.

For everyone else, a simple philosophic proposal: As Monty Python famously sang in "The Life of Brian", look at "the bright side of life".

I know most LWers hate the military and would never volunteer to join so take the advice of not only a retired military officer, but an expert on guerrilla warfare. Worried about the election? Don't fight a force directly. Use their own weaknesses against them. Never confront a force larger than yourself head-on; use hit'n'run tactics from the side.

Example:
Tens of thousands of Millennial Spring Breakers will soon be returning home or back to college. Most are left leaning and dislike Trump. In two weeks, some will begin showing signs of contagion and, no doubt, will have infected their friends.
Instead of putting on pink Pussy Hats and protesting Trump, consider guerrilla warfare. Dress like a Mormon/Trump voter (think "Blues Brothers"), visit a Trump campaign center and volunteer. Ask for advice on what neighborhoods they want to you to canvas. Do the legwork. Collect as many "vote Trump" buttons as possible to wear and distribute with fellow guerrillas. Collect as many "Vote Trump" brochures as possible. Thank everyone in the campaign center with a firm and sincere handshake. Touch as many doorknobs, water fountain levers, coffee mug handles, etc as possible. Become a "Trump volunteer" and visit every house and retirement center they recommended. Respect anyone who wants social distancing although you can ridicule them a bit about being a Democrat afraid of a "hoax virus" hyped up by the "socialist media" to see if they'll change their mind, but don't push too hard. If they accept, make sure you give them a brochure you've licked previously (the virus lives for hours, if not days) and thank them with a firm handshake. Wait for the results.
^^^Just joking. The above is done as parody because I'm a funny guy. Such an action could be considered biological terrorism so don't do it. Rest assured that stupid people will end up getting the virus all on their own and smart people will be less affected.

That said, just by passing the rumor any Trump volunteer who is a Millennial is secretly trying to infect them should have an interesting impact. Same goes for passing the conspiracy theory that volunteers sending out absentee ballots are licking the ballots and the envelopes. Use your imagination. Again, guerrilla warfare doesn't have to be physical or illegal, it can be psychological and legal. :)

Regardless, I always recommend to always look on the Bright Side of Life!

I was a military officer too and I never saw a fellow officer advise anyone to spread a deadly virus among his fellow Americans.

I doubt you were an officer, just a sick POS.

1) You obviously didn't read the post.
2) Even though you doubt I am an officer, I do not doubt your claim. I do doubt you were a career officer and suspect you were Army, non-combat arms and got out as quick as you could meaning 4 years.

The fact remains you support a leadership that has not only failed to protect our nation per their Constitutional duties, but continues to do so.

USAF...O-3, eight years and you were advising PoliTalker to send young people to Trump rallies.

If you were really a Captain, I don't know how many years ago, then you should be smart enough to have understood my post.

Why did you leave after 8 years? Were you passed over? I served 21 years and am collecting a pension for my service. Sad to say, our government doesn't give shit to anyone who serves less than retirement years. I'm sorry you are so bitter, but I do thank you for serving those 8 years...presumably honorably.

It is unfortunate you and your president downplayed this, minimized it, and denied the risks.

This global pandemic should have been taken seriously by you and your president two months ago, before COVID-19 arrived here in force

Try to understand that the president has a duty to not panic the American people, like you.

He and V.P. Pence and their team of health professionals are doing a great job responding to the Chinese virus that the Chinese failed to contain.

I do not need a fat ass game show host to lie to me about risk and provide me false medical information.

Obama was forthright about viral threats during his presidency, and that is exactly how it should go down

Pearl might have served in a 10-yo-boys' militia but given his penchant for whining, groaning, and stalking other posters I seriously doubt if he served in any sort of adult military; he's too pussy.

Germ warfare is as old as mankind, and so is the threat of germ warfare.

Anyone claiming that other groups are trying to deliberately spread this needs to be detained indefinitely. I hear there's still room down near the border for a few more bodies. At a time like this when we should be fighting the common enemy -- The Grim Reaper and his COVID-19 -- these fuckwads are doing everything they can to divide us. Anyone who gives them any heed deserves what they get.
 
This is where it takes off geometrically. NYC has an insular community that has been spreading measles. Corona is now running through the community like water.

People can claim anything they want online, but falsely claiming to be an officer in the military is a felony offense. That's why most "stolen honor" assholes claim to be senior enlisted ranks.

In short, I accept he was an officer even though I disagree with his point of view.

Yeah, there's a difference between a four-year office-bound pogue and a line officer. :D

The current number is 157.

And it will climb. There’s a lot of speculation about how far it will climb [I’ll leave that to the partisans] but 157 is still a modest number in a country this size *and if gets to 10,000* it will still be a modest number given that it’s a pandemic.

How’s that?
