One consolation, if Biden wins the presidency, is that all of his state of the union speeches will only be six minutes long. There will be nothing good for him to say anyway.

Better chance of dying in a car accident driving to get the test.
The free market would allow hospitals to sell the test for 20K if you really want it. And allow stores to charge $10 a roll for all the morons stocking up on TP.
Unfortunately we don’t have a true free market.
Hopefully all that fear of the boogeyman doesn’t kill you. Amazing how seemingly normal people are panicking over this. In a few months it will be a footnote in history and the media will be looking for the next story to overhype.
When you refer to "the media" do you mean media world-wide? Are they the reason Italy has shutdown cities and such? Is it the Illuminati? Curious what you think....
China literally controls their media and their populations access to all external media. Why did they overhype CV so much they shutdown large cities?
Explain to me, wise man.
Thank you.
While you are at it - put it in writing your estimation of how many people in the US will die from this. Things are warming now and flu season is over with. Otherwise your statements are all bullshit you'll be able to duck.

Yes Italy overreacted and their economy will pay for it for years. The world goes on and all they did was hurt hard working citizens.
And our media is overhyping it for multiple reasons, all to their benefit. And plays into fear mongers like it appears you are. Amazing that people who understand odds are losing sleep over this.
Only upside if you are right and end up happy is funeral homes are going to make serious cash. Always winners and losers in life, and in your case, “victims”.
As I’ve said before, wake me up when the first person comes back alive as a zombie.
Meanwhile I’m sitting in an airport right now and it’s business as usual other than a few fools wearing masks. And I say fools because odds are they have no clue why they are wearing them. Same people who buy extended warranties and wonder why they are broke in life. And thought Bernie would fix all their poor life choices.
Are you really expecting us to believe all of this crap? The parents of accountinquestion, I mean Ward and June Cleaver evidently left very little in their last will and testament to Wally and the Beaver. So it is better for the two lads to still be living at home with their parents supporting them until they themselves reach sixty.

Of course you ducked actually giving an estimate of how many people will die in the US. Bullshitting coward.
Believe what? Uhh, those are all valid reasons I want to be able to purchase the test. Not sure what there is to believe or not believe.
You're really not very smart.
I don't understand how everyone came to be medical and demographic experts (my late wife had a doctorate in demography, by the way, and her dissertation was about an ancient Native American population at the point in history that they were exposed to infectious diseases).
Here's what I think. If you're not quoting medical experts, why are you even talking? Boz has a doctor, BoSox has a doctor, mickey certainly has a doctor. When they come back with quotes attributable to their doctors, then at least we know that some experts are on the side of "this is like the flu."
It's gonna be bad, especially because Americans are real good at high blood pressure and obesity. Ninety days from now, you are going to be stunned. You think some "left wing American media" is joining forces with the "left wing Italian government?" LOL.
And before somebody goes on some non-sequitur Obama rant, I never voted for Obama. Not once. I still don't understand how he became the Democratic nominee.
I would think every person on these boards is happy about the panic and stock market crash.
Now we just have to figure out when to start buying??
You guys did pull out of the market before the Fall right??
Did Italy really panic??
I doubt it as it looks like it is the current trend.
NYC and Boston are about to Shut Down from what I am reading.
Did the city of Wuhan China panic by shutting down?
You guys are saying this is just another form of the flu.
This virus is supposed to be much easier to catch compared to the flu... right?
I can accept that but I don't like that since the flu is kinda easy to catch.
I have had it many times in my life.
I used to catch it every year when I played live poker.
I noticed I haven't caught it for years since I have been out of the poker room.
On the flip side they are saying that Wuhan is shutting down 16 temp hospitals.
I guess the worry is over?

Another bad day in the markets. Obviously many businesses will be punished with the panic led by CNN and other liberal outlets. But less tax dollars coming in will only make our economy worse.
Meanwhile the airports are packed as usual today with people coming to Florida. Obviously not afraid of the fear mongers. Until the liberal Mayor gets her way and tries to cancel WrestleMania and maybe the NCAA’s next week to cost the city Tens of Millions in revenue.
You are old or scared, stay home. Don’t ruin it for everyone.
Half the people in this thread like
#FreeTyde
My daughter, her husband, and 17 of their friends are flying to Fla. from Minn. Friday for a birthday party for 7 nights at some giant house they rented. Before they voted to go they called me for my opinion on whether they should stay home or not.
Their good time begins Friday.
I saw that the NCAA is going to play games without fans. Not good. Now the libtard students won't know what they're protesting against.
Here's a website by an infectious disease expert that my close doctor friend (who has a medically fragile child) shared. https://www.flattenthecurve.com/
Now, I don't have any faith that the crowd that wants to blame Obama and Trump for everything will bother looking at it. In summary, this is a pandemic. This disease spreads quickly. All the measures in place are designed to slow the spread so that we don't overwhelm hospitals all at once. More people die when there aren't enough respirators available.
Wash your damn hands. Consider avoiding people. Stop hoarding toilet paper and water.
Hi Monet, this plunge is really creating some great buying opportunities in my opinion. I bought into the plunge today by picking up some investment grade (Standard and Poors rating) 6.5% senior notes at par (Argo Group 6.5% Senior Notes, symbol ARGD):
Hopefully this whole thing will result in some good mailers, since casinos like to fill seats.

Thanks Tableplay!!
If you haven't seen this movie you might want to check it out...
I watched it on server 2 on 123 movies.
Some people are scared of that website though.
The link is below if you dare!

Thanks Monet - yes excellent movie, saw it many years ago.
Crazy how about a month ago , United States wasn't panicking at ALL about The Coranavirus and at least one person admitted they thought it would STAY in China and not leave. He said something like,"On February 12, I thought,"The Coronavirus is not my problem as I live in United States and the CV is in Asia, a different Continent, but in March, the once very far awa y CV is now in The United States and I am very scared. Interesting to how I went from,"I don't care about the CV to being very scared of it."

Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanantly banned.
Smart is knowing a Tomato is a fruit.
Wise is knowing a Tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad.
I am glad to get my full posting rights back! Thank you Dan!
I'm not going to panic but I wonder if the virus is worse than what they claim.
I wouldn't doubt they are lying to us about how serious it is.
It appears they are shutting down schools, cities, countries, NBA, arenas and pretty soon they are going to shut down air travel.
Whatever I am watching all the usual movies plus some I haven't seen like...
12 Monkeys, Contagion, Outbreak, etc etc.
With all the panic I am surprised nobody has talked about Nuclear Holocaust.
I would figure some country would nuke another and blame it on the virus.
I am trying not to get my hopes up because I have been rooting for the world to get wiped out for over 20 years.
Gave up on Armageddon and the Apocalypse but it seems the 4 Horseman are starting to get serious!!
Wooooooo!
If you aren't into the biblical predictions you can look to Nostradamus.
Some say he predicted Italy to have this problem.
Century 2:53, which warns:
“The great plague of the maritime city. Will not cease until there be avenged the death. Of the just blood, condemned for a price without crime.”

I suggest redietz and any others caught up in this "panic" go back and look at the USA timetable and figures from the 2009 H1N1 killer virus (aka, Swine flu) then compare those numbers to today's coronavirus. What you'll discover is it was a FAR deadlier virus that was basically ignored until there were 20,000 cases and over 1000 deaths here. I actually never even heard of it until this past week and neither had my wife.
Of course, the media never said much beyond a peep while protecting Obama, and anyone who made even the slightest criticism against the administration's handling of the virus is said to have instantly been labeled a racist.
I wonder how many NBA games were cancelled because of that.
