    How many indians are moving in China?

    You can't possibly believe there is no travel between the countries.

    Something weird there. I just don't know what it is.

  2. We're being told if you believe you're having symptoms of this virus do not go to the doctor, do not go to the ER, just sit at home for 14 days and ride it out. WTF? Questions that must be asked and answered. How serious can this be if we're being told to just stay home and let it run it's course? Why are we shutting the country down if it's best managed with rest and fluids? If it is sooooo serious, then we're being told to just die in our homes, nothing can be done. What the hell is the point of even having a healthcare system that tells you to just stay home if you're ill?

    Because 20percent of the infections need hospitalizations. And we don’t have enough hospital beds to support this given how communicable the disease is.

    Hospitals are prepping triage policies for patients of other morbid diseases in order to manage their ventilator availabilities.

    It could be a nothing or it could be bad. If we go the way of Italy, things will be bad. And it’s apparent that the government (at least currently )doesn’t have the appetite or ability to do whAt Italy is doing.

  4. What I heard is that if you are old, really young or have immune, lung and heart issues, to go to the doctor/ER. If you are just feeling what some would describe the mild flu then stay at home.

    For the flu and corona for most of us, the only treatment is medicine for the symptoms, especially if symptoms are mild. This will keep the hospital resources available for more serious cases.

  5. We have Obamacare now.

    If you get sick you stay home and the Obama-Shaman home care specialist visits you.

    If you do nothing you get better in two weeks. If they treat you, it will be closer to three weeks. It's all good.

    Pollak: Democrats Pushed Impeachment While Coronavirus Spread

    We now know the cost of impeachment.


    While Democrats were diverting the attention and energy of the entire country into a pointless trial that could not possibly have ended in anything other than President Donald Trump’s acquittal, the coronavirus pandemic was beginning in China and arriving in the United States.

    The timeline of the two developments — impeachment and coronavirus — is shocking, and reveals the true cost of hyper-partisanship.
    • January 11: Chinese state media report the first known death from an illness originating in the Wuhan market.
    • January 15: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) holds a vote to send articles of impeachment to the Senate. Pelosi and House Democrats celebrate the “solemn” occasion with a signing ceremony, using commemorative pens.
    • January 21: The first person with coronavirus arrives in the United States from China, where he had been in Wuhan.
    • January 23: The House impeachment managers make their opening arguments for removing President Trump.
    • January 23: China closes off the city of Wuhan completely to slow the spread of coronavirus to the rest of China.
    • January 30: Senators begin asking two days of questions of both sides in the president’s impeachment trial.
    • January 30: The World Health Organization declares a global health emergency as coronavirus continues to spread.
    • January 31: The Senate holds a vote on whether to allow further witnesses and documents in the impeachment trial.
    • January 31: President Trump declares a national health emergency and imposes a ban on travel to and from China. Former Vice President Joe Biden calls Trump’s decision “hysterical xenophobia … and fear-mongering.”
    • February 2: The first death from coronavirus outside China is reported in the Philippines.
    • February 3: House impeachment managers begin closing arguments, calling Trump a threat to national security.
    • February 4: President Trump talks about coronavirus in his State of the Union address; Pelosi rips up every page.
    • February 5: The Senate votes to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment, 52-48 and 53-47.
    • February 5: House Democrats finally take up coronavirus in the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia.

    Because the idiots in this country can't seem to NOT go to the ER every time they get a sniffle. Add the panic of this virus they're reading on Facebook and hearing in the media and they'll all be rushing to the ER at the first sign of a cough thinking they have days to live, when in reality, the vast majority of them will be just fine and the limited resources we have need to deal with the people who won't be fine.
