1. We are all "threatened" by this highly contagious new disease to one degree or another....my thing is that it is NOT the 'Andromeda Strain' as our officials art touting (directly and indirectly), which is prompting hysterical reactions (i.e., run on super markets & drug stores). Careful examination of WHO and CDC records in recent years shows annual influenza is more deadly...yet the past response was nowhere near as frantic as this one.Originally Posted by Penderyn
2. You refer to the conspiracy theory that the US gov't (under conservative rule, by the way) is going to us this crisis to invoke a police state. I find that interesting, since the people purporting this were dead silent when official "protest zones" were established during recent GOP conventions, or the way the "Occupy Wall St." folk were shut down, or when the conservative majority of the SCOTUS ruled that corporations are "people" and money is considered free speech. Nope, not a peep as these seeds of dictatorship and oligarchy were being sown. So forgive me if I put NO credence in this current mantra.
3. Dump and company dithered for about 6 weeks before taking serious action. Again, I'm all for caution and preventative measures....not the hap hazard, near panic inducing guff we've been witnessing.
4. Which "senile bully" do you refer to? Remember, Dump and the Dem candidates for the upcoming election (and the Congressional leadership of both sides) are all senior citizens who have had questionable actions recently.

I've never posted anything to the contrary. Copy and paste or link the post where I did such. If you can't, then you're making a false accusation.

All you've done is throw out a lot of "would be, could be, might be". The fact is you have had recent influenza's that have had a significantly higher mortality rate in the same time frame....yet there was no near hysteria reaction...just prudent concern and actions. Here's a more objective view https://www.livescience.com/new-coro...-with-flu.html
See, when all these folk were dropping dead during annual flus, you didn't have the near hysterical reaction from our gov't and health officials. Mind you, prudent prevention and treatments have and are being taken....but we could all do without the flurry of contradictory statements from the aforementioned officials.

Go back, clik on the link provided, read carefully and comprehensively, occasionally clicking on the underlined passages in the article, which document what I put for previously

Agreed.
Same here. Remember Jade Helm? Lots of conspiracy theorists slinging hash. Most are RWed, but the Left has their fair share of nutjobs slinging conspiracy theories.Originally Posted by Taichiliberal
I've heard this conspiracy....release a mild bio-weapon to gain control of the economy, thin the population and control the rest.
Years ago it was to instigate civil war. Whatever.

Obviously, you cannot refute or deny the evidence. But rather than concede the point, you switch to an empty accusation. Typical blind allegiance to current conservative mentality regarding Dump.

You consistently pull out this lame ploy every time you can't logically or factually refute or deny evidence that disproves your contentions and statements. You make a lot of generalized accusations yet you can't produce ONE item from the link I provided and logically/factually disprove it. In short, you just blow smoke and insults...which is NOT a rational countermand to what someone puts forth. I asked for a real, rational debate...if you're unwilling or unable to do so, don't waste time and space posting, as I'll just dump you back in the IA bin.Originally Posted by Taichiliberal
You kidding? Here's just one example:

The Atlantic? Fact checking? Did you even read this bullshit? Tell me something; how were any of those lies? Good lord; you are an idiot.
Note: You may want to click on the underlined passages in the article, as they link to verification of it's content....if have the intellectual honesty and courage.

1. you should brush up on your reading comprehension skills, as you obviously missed this: The truth: It’s too early to tell if the virus’s spread will be dampened by warmer conditions. Respiratory viruses can be seasonal, but the World Health Organization says that the new coronavirus “can be transmitted in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather.” If you go back to the article and click on the underlined words you get valid documentation that shows Dump is (once again) shooting off his mouth without accurate information like it's fact.

How is this a lie? It's a claim many experts have made.

How is that a lie? Are you trying to say that this virus wont disappear like all the others?

I don't dispute the comments; I am laughing at the moronic assertion that these are lies. The idiot who wrote this article is the one lying.Originally Posted by Taichiliberal
Now you can deny the quotes, but not the actual video recordings:
2. Again, what you ignore: The truth: Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned days later that he was concerned that “as the next week or two or three go by, we’re going to see a lot more community-related cases.” Follow instructions from #1.
3. If one makes statements that are untrue, but puts them forth like they are, then they are lying. I don't know why you don't understand this, as it's taught in grade school. Remember Obama's "keep your doctor" thing? Folk like you wailed that he was a liar when the actual implementation did not guarantee this for all as he said. Now Obama PUBLICALLY ADMITTED HE WAS WRONG, and spoke at length as to why and how to correct his error. To date, I've yet to hear Dump cop to being wrong on anything... even when there's audio, video and print that shows he is...that makes him a liar when he doubles down.

You make an accusation that you cannot back up with evidence. that makes you a liar. I gave you a chance for a rational debate, but it seems you're incapable of this, so back into the IA bin with you.

Either you have deplorable reading comprehension skills, did not read the article, or are just being insipidly stubborn to conceding a point. The article also provides links to the underlined portions to document and verify it's content. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...avirus/608647/
Clearly, you are not interested in an honest, rational debate. So it's back to the IA bin with you.

As the reader can clearly see, Legion is either unwilling or unable to carry on an intellectually honest and rational debate when it comes to his political and social beliefs....especially when he's faced with irrefutable evidence that disproves such beliefs. It never ceases to amaze me how folk like Legion consistently claim my threads and posts are worthless, etc., etc., yet they ALWAYS seem compelled to comment on them. A rational, honest person doesn't bother to such, as to date I don't read or comment on any of Legions authored threads. So to save time and space on my threads, I'll just dump this clown back to where he belongs.
