If it was not for the 25 degrees and blowing snow I would have loved to run a few hundred rounds through my new SBR. I guess I am just not that committed.

There was NO shit paper to be had at the store. Plenty of Jack so this is not a real emergency, because if it was the Jack would certainly be gone.

No one likes getting the flu. And that's basically what this is. It's just a new strain.

Serious question. Why are so many people not believing the actual experts in this exact area, such as the US' current top health official (Dr. Fauci), and the former director of the CDC (Dr. Frieden) when they say this is NOT like the flu?

You are right that this is not like the flu, but neither was SARS, H1N1, or other viruses that our government didn't see fit to take these extensive measures against.

It still doesn't merit restricting or removing our rights under the US Constitution. It also doesn't merit all of the panic that our media is inciting...

It doesn't speak to restricting or removing rights, but for the purposes of discussion:

H1N1 is literally a strain of flu and some experts have argued that the 2009 H1N1 pandemic wasn't really any worse than a typical severe seasonal flu season. The CDC estimates there were about 60 million H1N1 infections in the United States, about 275,000 hospitalizations (less than 0.5%) and about 12,500 deaths (about 0.02%). ( https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandem...9-h1n1-pandemic.html ) The hospitalization and mortality rates in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic were dramatically lower than those currently being observed for COVID-19 (although there is a real possibility of significant overestimation of the COVID-19 rates).

SARS in 2003 was contained VERY early in its spread. There were only 8,098 confirmed cases worldwide and only 8 in the United States. ( https://www.cdc.gov/sars/about/fs-sars.html#outbreak )

Come on. You know why. This is a gun forum. Conspiracy theories abound on these forums. It is common for a large segment of folks on these forums to distrust anything the government or institutions say. Lots of people are already calling this a deep state plot to create a fake crisis and seize all our guns.

We had a loadmaster onboard a week ago who was rambling about the Chinese having executed 75,000 people covertly to halt the spread of the virus. Last night at a match, all the talk across the aisle was about escaped military virus experiments.

People will believe anything.

Now, the government is telling people that they can’t congregate at bars and restaurants in some states.
