    So now reporting it is "overplaying it," even Fox is reporting it, explain to us how they are "overplaying it"

    I find your use of a leading question disingenuous.

    It seems to be too early to jump to any conclusions regarding the efficacy of the preparations under discussion regarding the coronavirus in America.

    I suspect that we both know why this "issue" is being portrayed as a "crisis" at this point in time.

    Word choice is important in conveying meaning, Anchovies. Is that fact unfamiliar to you?

    Timing, frequency of reportage, and thinly-disguised editorializing are also common elements in propaganda campaigns.

    Good non-answer. He's not truthful, in general. Even most of his supporters agree w/ that.

    Is this really overblown? I agree it is from the health perspective. The mortality rate is very low. But I've heard more media outlets talking about it in terms of being a mainly non-life threatening pandemic - and more of an economic concern because of the massive disruption. They still have to try to prevent its spread, and that is starting to have a huge impact on the economy.

    I don't think that's exaggerated. It's just a fact.

    I don't make a habit of answering leading questions, Little Thingy.

    I wonder if you can substantiate your assertion that "Even most of his supporters agree that the president is not truthful, in general".

    I also wonder why you chose to opine that you've "heard more media outlets talking about it in terms of being a mainly non-life threatening pandemic", when that observation seems to tend to rebut the sinister and unproven insinuations of many on the left.

    Nobody can predict the future, even by consensus, Little Thingy.

    Do the authorities need to try to prevent the coronavirus from spreading?

    Yes. Can they do so? We don't know.

    Is the disease starting to have a huge impact on the economy?

    Yes, unquestionably. It remains to be seen how transitory such an impact will prove to be.

    I don't believe it would, Anchovies, and I've already explained why in our previous discussion. You do recall posting that same list yesterday, don't you?

    If TD had stated that "Covid-19 is a hoax", you'd have a point, Anchovies.

    Since he didn't, you don't.

    Happy? Quit saying that. I am a liberal. I care about other people. I am not like you rightys who see people as disposable profit units.

    And all the sociopathic right is worried about is that if there are many case and fatalities, Trump would be held in large part responsible due to his incredible incompetency and lack of empathy. You are just concerned about the head of your birther cult as opposed to the public health as a whole being compromised. That is the real insane crap of all this.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Not True in the least I pray no one gets sick, not because it would affect trump but rather it would affect those people! See supposedly compassionate people like you only like the title, never willing to actually pitch in and do anything, just wait for Uncle Bernie and company to take my money to give away, and then say you support it, therefor you are compassionate in other words you are charitable with others money. meanwhile you hope sick people help your cause for POWER and your ability to unconstitutionally force every socialist piece of crap legislation you can!

    Our corporations moved our manufacturing base to China so corporations could max profits. That will end up in empty shelves if the virus continues. Trump not only has to answer for what is happening but has to find a way to fix it. The problem is he is quite stupid and has an oversized ego. He will insert himself into everything. Everything Trump touches dies.
    This hads the potential to be huge, bigly even.
    All I've heard from Dims are negative kvetching. I haven't even heard them broach the topic in their campaigns or debates.
    Trump has addressed the situation with steps being taken.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I find this statement ironic. The only one's who have been shown to be disengaged from the truth and reality have been the PHONY media, the Party of the Jackass and low IQ leftists who bloviate that Trump is a treasonous criminal.

    If anything, Trump is the ONLY in DC that is connected to reality and the facts. But hey, if you have something more than "because you say so" to back your statement up, I am all eyes.
