Every administration since the 70's is at fault. The conservatives for chasing the bottom line without any consideration (look at the Rust Belt, Detroit, etc..) and the lefties for embracing heavy environmental and labor regulations, chasing off any manufacturing work whether heavy or light manufacturing, not to mention insisting everybody get a college degree but, ignoring the issue of a flooded marketplace of useless diplomas. Both sides are at fault, and both sides failed to see the strategic issues at play with how uneven the global playing field had become. While Milton Freedom embraced a global economy, that only works if EVERY country plays by the same rules. China figured out the grey areas and exploited it. | |||

I have to disagree with you there. I think he was trying to minimize panic and minimize the damage to the stock market and economy in general. I strongly believe that the economic threat from Covid-19 far exceeds the threat to human life, and have believed that from the beginning. I think any effort that could have been made to try to calm people was worth it. I believe these efforts were even more worth it since a true economic calamity that could result in a Democrat being elected must be avoided at all costs. A democrat president would be a far worse calamity to America than Coronavirus. While I think that some of the social distancing precautions in place are appropriate, even given the relatively low chance of complications or death from Covid-19, I’m far more afraid that people will perceive things as worse than they really are and cause needless damage to the economy. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Meanwhile in Illinois- https://www.nraila.org/article...ammunition-transfers The City of Champaign is holding an emergency meeting this morning to consider Council Bill No. 2020-022 granting extraordinary powers to the mayor following a declaration of an emergency. Among them is the power to ban transferring firearms and ammunition. This proposal will not only ban sales, but will also prohibit citizens from giving firearms or ammunition to family members, friends, and others in need of self-defense during times of emergency. Please call City Council members and ask them not to grant the mayor the power to suspend your Second Amendment rights when they’re needed most during an emergency. | |||

That may have been what he was trying to do, but when he is saying the exact opposite of virtually every other public voice, including his own experts, I think it's a lot more likely to damage his credibility than to keep anyone from worrying. As far as the coronavirus not being a big deal, take a look at this article that I posted a few pages ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0...deaths-estimate.html Before serious containment/mitigation efforts began, the CDC built 4 models of how coronavirus could affect the US, from optimistic to pessimistic. They came up with a range of 2.4 million to 21 million people needing hospitalization. Anywhere near the upper end of that range would cause our healthcare system to collapse and prevent almost everyone from getting adequate medical care for almost anything serious. They projected from 200,000 to 1.7 million deaths. That's direct deaths from coronavirus - it doesn't include things like a person having a heart attack and dying because they can't get adequate medical care. Because of the measures now being taken, the assumptions used in those projections no longer hold, and the ranges should be shifted towards smaller numbers, but this is a serious threat. | |||

Flame suit on. For you just the flu, no big deal, we are over reacting guys. So I've been watching this guy's videos for a while, I'd suggest you you watch a couple. Ready for y'alls chicken little comments. I'm prepared, I'm staying out of public minus work, and not eating anything I didn't prepare. You take caution however you want, or ignore the situation if you want. https://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisMartensondotcom These are his last two.

Indeed. The panic is real, and spreading. (shakes head) I was just "yelled at" by a not-hysterical but wound-up friend (via a phone call), who couldn't believe I wasn't more freaked out about the Panic about the Virus. They're at DefCon 4 (or 2?) already. (Sigh) I listened to a minute or two out of courtesy, then told em I loved em, wished them luck, and faked my zombie death beafore hanging up laughing. I heard them laugh at my faked death just before I hung up, but the call was serious as can be. They're actually bugging out of their suburban spot to their rural spot tonight, to avoid the panic. They're convinced it will be a massive massive shit show within two weeks. I got that much before the zombies got me. I'm trying to keep it light, but dude was serious. The panic is very real, already. | |||

That guy is a dolt. And I’m being kind. Panic, panic, panic. Let your emotions rule your decisions instead of logic is all I hear from that guy. You really should stop watching that garbage, skins. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Where do these numbers come from? What study possibly led to these results? I just don't buy any of these catastrophic predictions.
