Big difference is who was president at that time relative to now. you think the hysteria is trumps fault? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

China would not just shut off half their manufacturing indefinitely and weld people inside buildings if it was just a flu. Also I do not trust the media one bit this either. I really don't know what to think of it, one thing I know for sure, we are not getting the full story on this and what is going on behind the scenes. Yeah it's been wild to see how this has played out within just the couple of days of this post. Interesting read on the first days of the seattle hotspot and the testing issues they had along with the first responders to the nursing home care facility is nuts. Turns out the firefighters knew of the coronavirus results before the nursing home employees and thus they're the ones that stressed implementing the isolation protocols. They couldn't believe nobody informed the caretakers of the positive testing results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wonder what it's going to look like when the reported cases in the US get into the tens of thousands. That little quote from the movies speaks volumes right now. Hopefully people understand that yes precautions need to be taken, but it's not the end of the world as we know it. We just need to help slow it up a bit.

The first cases were right near the Chinese lab that had the virus. Im waiting for the real news to surface that the Chinese intentionally released to cause world havoc or their own population controll. Years ago Bill Gates was giving shots to kids and not telling them it was to sterilize them. Something to think about, not all truth in our news media. I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy. This though is a little far fetched. Someday hopefully we'll know the truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a test to see how people react when given something to be scared of in turbulent times. The results are scary. I don't about hoax, but the reaction to this now labeled pandemic will need to get better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
