If you mean the private message system I just sent a test post to a friend....worked fine for me and have never seen a problem with it before either.

Anybody Home?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

It seems as the left in the media has been becoming more and more rabid and shrill the same is being reflected here in this forum. The more apparent it becomes that they dont have a dog in the election race that has a chance at besting Trump the higher pitched the noise becomes.....I am enjoying the tune smile

I suspect your perspective is pretty much spot on Jim from what I have gathered after judging the wheat from the chaff....

Anyone else get the impression from Richard's earlier posts that this is exactly what he thinks?

I certainly dont think it is a nothing burger.....nor do I get the impression Rich does either. That said it is DEFINITELY being hyped into something it isnt by the media.....

How about these little tidbits of info and questions.....

So here are some questions regarding COVID-19 aka Coronavirus.

Why is no one seeming to question the 'coincidence' that SARS (2013) came from the same area in China as the current version SARS-CoV-2?

What is SARS-CoV-2, you ask? That's the name of the corona virus causing COVID-19. So, why isn't the correct name being used?

Bird flu (H5N1, 1997), SARS (2002) H7N9 (2012), SARS (2013), SARS (COVID-19, 2020) all came from China.

SARS-CoV-2 originated in a town that is home to a biolab. Just a string of coincidences, or is the Chinese government working on biological weapons and sometimes something leaks out?

How's Wuhan World Going In Your State?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

The whole media/liberal promoted panic over this virus is ridiculous.....

Soooooooo politically driven.....

Anybody recall the swine flu from about 10 years ago? 60 million infected, 300,000 hospitalized.....The sky wasnt falling then and the conservatives didnt try to make political hay with it at all even though it was under Obama's watch.....The fear mongering is beyond ridiculous now in comparison......

How's Wuhan World Going In Your State?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

None of that has anything to do with the point I was making David......regarding how it is being used as a political tool by the left......any claim that it isnt is beyond ridiculous.

The fact remains... during the Swine flu, 18,000 Americans lost their lives and the press and the left said next to nothing.

What's different this time?

Rich and all, you may find this page which updates in real time for all countries including the USA useful (except China who only reports end of day) .....

It would appear Trump's early travel ban put us well ahead of the curve in comparison to others who didnt take early and decisive action.

It would be even more informative were it to allow comparison of the stats by date......
