  1. How are they responding differently than the media in other countries? You do realize that the mortality rate of the coronavirus is 20 times higher than that of a regular flu, right? Do the math. What, exactly, should the media be doing? Hyping how Trump knows all the best words?

  2. There is no gift. Trump is a fool who fucks everything up. Everything. And, apart from state media Fox Pravda, the media reports. Because that is what the media is supposed to do.

    Sissy Goff: Coronavirus anxiety — here’s how to talk to your boomers about the outbreak

    7. Circle back around to the worry monster. Remind them how smart that old worry monster can be. He might try to use the coronavirus to make them think they aren’t okay. It’s hard for boomers who’ve beaten their worries in the past to remember the tools they’ve used before. The same tools work however the worry monster tries to bother them. What worked before? What do they want to remember doing that helped? Have them tell you three times they remember feeling brave in the past few weeks.

    I define anxiety as an overestimation of the problem and an underestimation of one's self. Your boomer is stronger than his fear. He’s smarter than the worry monster. He just may need your help remembering in the face of the coronavirus. He can do it, and so can you.

  4. That's good. I like that. Of course, I cannot give your post a "like." I'm a boomer.

    I like how some cons here did a 180 from "the skies are falling" when trump virus was in China & ATH market, to "media/deep state collusion" now that it's here and the market has tanked.

  10. And this fool had political aspirations? He'll be lucky if he doesn't drown during a rainfall.
