Do the math, please. The numbers you give indicate a mortality rate of 0.001. If the flu here this year had the 1.00 % mortality of Coronavirus, that would make 250,000 dead instead of 20,000. I think the media would be all over that. That’s why the alarm. A disease with a death rate 100 times greater than the norm needs to be focused on and dealt with quickly.

Then call trump out when he does it... snowflake.

I been outta jr. high over 50 years, boys. Your little schoolboy name calling is only amusing, in a sad way. I’m not crying over the last weeks’s market. I was answering Nash on who lost big in the drop. Trumps economy is propped up by trillion dollar deficit spending. Wake up.

You people are constantly trying to troll me out of here, so I don’t get you get off calling me a troll.

No, I mean you say you don’t like smearing ads, but you support a man as President who is king of smears. Oh, the sad irony.

H1N1 virus mortality rate was reported at 0.02%. Coronavirus mortality rate currently estimated at 1.00 percent. That’s a fifty-fold greater chance of dying. You use these right wing shill media outlets to push stories without any context. Obama - Bad, Trump - Good. I would venture to say responses are measured in terms of severity, not frequency, so comparing the two without considering mortality rates is horse hockey. Snowflakes.

Dr Drew? Really? Didn’t he make his doing reality tv drug interventions? I don’t think infectious disease is in his purview. What’s the CDC got to say?

You gotta be kiddin’ me.

The opposite end had nothing to lose, so what’s your point? I would guess that the percentage of my personal wealth that evaporated last week was greater than Bezos or Gates. Again, I fail to see your point.

I majored in history and have done some reading of the Koran. By the way, what incorrect perception are you referring to?

I haven’t called you a racist.

I’m not questioning, I’m interpreting as it speaks to me through prayer.

Matthew 5:22

You a Koran scholar?

If you judge the whole by it’s extremes, you wind up with a dictator wannabe like trump, or worse, the real deal.

What are those examples? My understanding is that the root of Islam was the birth of Abraham’s son Ishmael. Please enlighten me.

Like I’ve said before, racism is defined as a belief that one’s race is superior to another. China and Japan are examples of racist countries that aren’t white. I have known and discussed racial divides with many black people over the course of my life and never once have I heard one voice superiority over the white race. Their insistence was only that they are equal, whites are no better than. Black people are prejudiced for sure, but there’s a big difference between prejudice and racism. Keep that division stoked, boys, your master is proud of you, I’m sure.

He said that after He got here. Before the resurrection and the day of Pentecost, there was no trinity.

Like I told Nash, Trump’s throwing 700,000 off food stamps soon, and he wants to end, or at least restrict preexisting conditions for healthcare. Whose propaganda is that? That’s truth, pal.

The latest relative executive order - remember how you all used to hate those when someone else was using them - is kicking 700,000 off the rolls soon. So,no, I’d say starting in 2020. Pre existing conditions also denied affordable healthcare for millons, and liar-in-Chief wants to scrap that, too.

What about old Obama? And how does that relate to the liar-in- chief occupying space in the Oval Office today

A choice is a choice. I said previously that I agreed with a first trimester limit, giving the woman adequate time to make that choice.

No. Denying food to the hungry and medicine to the sick are grotesque policies/laws, but you are as adept supporting them as I am supporting a woman’s right to choose.

I believe that it was God himself that wrote on the stone. The Savior came that the law might be fulfilled. Grace took the place of condemnation.

That’s fine, BS. Call it what you will. The red words in the four gospels address the poor, the hungry, the dispossessed, the sick, the immigrant, etc. I can’t recall where the Savior discoursed on either homosexuality or a woman’s right to choose. I judge you not for supporting a political party whose platform shafts all those people mentioned above. I respect your rights as a citizen, including that of having your own opinion and expressing it freely. If it makes you feel good to condemn others as Godless who don’t have the same opinion, that’s on you.
