Nothing to worry about with the coronavirus, it's just the common cold according to Rush.
 
"It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump," Limbaugh said Feb. 24 on his radio show. "Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus … I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks."
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/feb/27/rush-limbaugh/fact-checking-rush-limbaughs-misleading-claim-new-/

I'm sure a segment of our population eats this shat right up.
Equally sure some of them frequently post here.

It certainly is being weaponized against Trump (and Pence).   That much is indisputable.  Just look at the statements by the Democrats and the stories in the Media.   The AP even put out a fact check article that said much of this blather is incorrect.   

As  to the severitiy, wasn't it the media and "experts" not that long ago talking about how the Coronavirus was nothing, the flu kills way more every year blah blah.     We need to wait and see, although I am encouraged by the fact that the death rate as a percent of cases and of recoveries continues to fall.   There is a lot of hysteria about Measles every time there is an outbreak, and it is a serious disease.  I grew up before there was a measles vaccine and survived.   

So, yeah Rush downplayed the seriousness, but was spot on about the politicizing and weaponizing.   
I would prefer that folks keep the political crap  off this site, or at least quarantine it.  It's become a virus of its own, polluting everything.

put it in the saloon under the health issues thread...…….or the political thread???????? it only political if one steers it that way!!!!!!!!!!! otherwise its definelty a health thing or recent news issue!!!!!!

First place I didn't know Rush was a politician, I thought he was a media personality. Also You might want to take a look at yourself as far as injecting politics where it doesn't belong like blaming Carter for the 55 mph speed limit for example.

And that relates to Covid-19 how?   Take it to politics or even good morning.   
BTW if you guys don't have this link, it takes you to a dashboard that summarizes all the current data, put together by the CSE at Johns Hopkins.   Updated as new data becomes available   Very informative

why do you keep bringing up politics here if your not liking it. it was mentioned in the very first thread.

and for the record I agree...….but wether we like it or not.....its a fact of life.

Well this virus is really starting to kick in here,why our country let folks in from these plagued countries is beyond stupid,its a known fact today that infected folks have zero symtoms for several days w/o knowing infecting 100's of unsuspecting folks,seems screening ain't worth a shet either,airlines wouldn't do the right thing either ,its all about the $$$,now we're dealing with this b.s when we had a chance to nip it...russia took one look two months ago and did the right thing,bad shet,they're folks came back from wuhan,putin closed all of its borders in and out to isolate themselves.

[Rebel SS]

Yup, Captain Trips is definitely here. Following predics exactly like written in the book. Amazing. Went and got groceries early this am; people going absolutely nuts. Lines from pharmacy out into the aisles, stocking up. (And trying to get masks; even though they won't keep you from getting it, just spreading it) All sanitizers sold out. Aisles with disinfectant wipes are totally empty, the boxes were laying on the floor. Soup and canned goods aisles were totally pretty much half empty. Bottled water shelves were empty, people had carts full of it. (Pigs) They need to set a limit on this stuff per person. One lady had four CARTONS of the big tubs of disinfectant wipes, I told her to knock it off and put half back for other people. She told me to go to he**. Told her "back atcha, toots". Wait 'til it really gets cranked up......is it like this anywhere else, or just CAWchester? I wanted to take pics of the aisles, but no camera.

[Dotch]

It's even affected the little feed store where I get my bagged feed Rebs. The guy told me yesterday that they can't get dust masks. This is silly because they do nothing to protect you against coronavirus. But people are buying them anyway. In the meantime a lot of people working in these confinement hog buildings and needing them to protect themselves from the dust are going without.   

[glenn57]

based on the news the other nite its the same up in the cities..........i havent been in a local store so cant tell ya the local response.

personally i think its blown out of porpotion. its definetley affected people with other medical issues........but then so does pnemonia!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

Whats gonna happen is gonna happen. Right now, if yer in a long line, or want that corner table at the restaurant that someone just sat down at, Cough. Hack. Sneeze.
You'll get it.   
Best bet might be to stock up on ammo, if Capt. Trips follows protocol.
Speaking of protocol, wish I could tell ya what's happening' at Mayo, but I can't.
If ya have hair, it would stand right up on end.

I'm good.

ifin that was Dotch basement if be all gin.

Like Mikey said, that hog that had all the cases of disinfectant was probaly gonna sell it on E-bay. The scumbags come outta the woodwork at times like this. That's why they need to put a limit on stuff they know is gonna have a run on it....

[snow1]

lol reb,making friends at the cvs eh? most likely a short fat crab ass that hates her husband,in my small town no issues with a shortage of disinfective wipes or gel,just to be safe I bought a box of surgical gloves,wear em every where plus needed for cleaning my game.

This is starting to remind me more and more of the Y2K debacle. People had cases of soup, crackers, bottled water, beans, you name it stashed and most of it never got used. I still remember a couple old spinsters being nosey called my friend who lives on the LeSueur River and asked him if his artesian well was still flowing so they could get water. It hadn't flowed for decades but he told them if they needed water to help themselves.

One good thing about this virus is that all these folks wiping things off will maybe cut the flu down.  We have over 20,000 cases of the flu now and where is the panic about that??  I talked to the pharmacist today and told him about the panic down where Reb lives.  He just laughed and said people need to stop the panic syndrome.  I just shake my head when I hear all this panic in the news.  good luck.

[Rebel SS]

I agree, RH. I spent the afternoon puttering around outside and thoroughly enjoying myself. Went and got more LP for the one grill. Sayin' 60's this weekend...I'm grillin'! Saw the news teams at the grocery store filming, must be getting set to hype it up more on the 6:00 news. Already been cranking it up in the local paper....

Dr. Reb says the best thing for all of this is some smomed pigger steaks and a cold longneck on the deck this weekend.
