CORONAVIRUS

[Willy]

The news is full of misinformation and lies. Everything is political. This is the case with the Coronavirus. One of the motives behind this hoax is to undermine the U.S. economy and Trump.

THERE'S EVEN A VIDEO THAT KEEPS TRACK OF WHERE, WHEN AND HOW THE VIRUS IS SPREADING

[XLFD]

This just out by the City of Ludington, in response to all of the other hysteria.  No city council meeting Monday:

President Trump just had a news conference in the Rose Garden a few minutes ago to declare a "National Emergency" in the USA today. Popular box stores are cooperating to have parking lot areas designated for free virus testing and shopping for goods without going into public areas inside. I also heard that all schools in Ludington are now closed for the next 3 weeks for safety and health reasons. We are now infected in 46 states nationwide, but the amount of infections and deaths remains quite low comparatively to other parts of the world.

[Willy]

What Trump should have done in his National Emergency was to shut down all the failing Democrat cities and quarantine the politicians before they destroy their own cities and infect the rational people trying to make things work. Leftism/progressivism is much more dangerous than the COVID-19 could ever be or anything else short of the plague.

Too funny, Willy! Especially about closing James St. Bathrooms. So now where do public use facilities? City Hall?

[XLFD]

Willy is always around with some good natured satire and usually a twisted picture or meme to boot.  Though I've been likened to other foul contagions over the years, which may explain the first ban back in 2011 when I supposedly 'insighted' mob mentality among the masses, I think I have shown throughout the years that I am not some sort of virulent virus, bad-ass bacterium, or jerkwater germ. 

Instead through my public outreach efforts at the LT and the lawsuits made against public entities to correct their unlawful behavior, I have shown that I am more of an antiseptic.

Have a sick and corrupted public body?  Allow me to be one of the antibodies.

I keep reminding my family and friends to keep this situation in perspective

Corona virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the U.S. Updated March 13, 2020 CDC
Total cases: 1,629
Total deaths: 41

FLU
CDC estimates that so far this season Oct. 2019 to March 2020 there have been at least
36 million flu illnesses,
370,000 hospitalizations and
22,000 deaths from flu.

Why weren't the store shelves emptied of toilet paper in past flu seasons. Because the media wasn't hyping hysteria.

[AQUAMAN]

Very interesting stats. Willy, and these should be published up front by the media now. Too much hype is occurring daily, and not getting any better. Thanks for the update on truths.

[Freedom Seeker]

It is just crazy. I know people who are scared to go out of their homes. I dont want to diminish their fears, but it's crazy hysteria and I encourage them to stay home if they are afraid. When I tell them stats like you've shown here, Willy, or compare it to previous yearly average flu, or the 1919 flu, (650,000 deaths in the U.S. and maybe as many as 30 percent of the population worldwide, that doesnt help). They are afraid because "there is no vaccine" yet. It has to be media hysteria because it's just not rational thinking.  And this too shall pass, hopefully with few deaths.

[Willy]

The problem with vaccines is they do not work for everybody and many flu seasons the vaccine that is made does not match the flu virus that is going around. It's a crap shoot. That's why millions of people get it whether they are vaccinated or not. There is no way to convince people with facts if they fail to use common sense to apply those facts. For instance, why was there a run on toilet paper? I would be more worried about my stomach. The reason is the media that kept harping about  other countries and situations where toilet paper had been bought out and hoarded by the people. I think the media actually brain washes people who then become incapable of using logic because of the fear that is being fed to them on a daily basis. For instance, a relative of mine drove all the way to Indiana to get hand sanitizer. If she had used common sense she could have gone on line and discovered how to make your own hand sanitizer at home. The real problem is not the virus but the damage to the economy. This is what Leftists have wanted in order to take down Trump and they have been saying this ever since the Muller investigation and Impeachment petered out. These people would rather see the Country ruined rather than give up any of their power.

[Freedom Seeker]

I think there is a lot of truth in your comments, Willy. Especially about the vaccines, but people "feel" protected with one. And I've heard people who get the flu and say "I had the flu shot." And media probably created the hysteria and run on toilet paper. And I hope the leftist or anyone egging this hysteria on suffer economically.
