While we are considering fun facts how about this one..........

The press keeps pointing out the male vs female stats on the virus. I find it amazing they have not mentioned the fact that the other 57 genders dont have a single reported case smile

Of course that can change as the virus spreads and more people become infected and die.Colorado tried to open a drive thru testing station but closed due to lack of supplies... 

Someone is pissing in your ear and telling you its raining, sounds like its Business Insider......There are currently 19640 reported cases. 5.7% would be 1119 deaths. As of right now there are 264 reported deaths....Even at 3.4% that would be 667 deaths.....yet the fact remains there have only been 264 reported as of today.

The real figure is approx 1.4% in the US as of today and like it or not you have Trump and his administration to thank for that low rate with its quick and decisive actions smile

That 3.4% you mention is a figure I saw yesterday on the CDC website as a worldwide percentage.....

Duh ! Good Idea!

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Saw something a couple days ago that said there is an unusually large number of Chinese living in Italy.....that may well be contributing some to the issue due to Chinese traveling in and out and Italy having been slow to react.

Like many in America, the cons on the forum have no idea how bad it is. An Israeli doctor treating in Italy says they no longer treat patients over 60.  In Israel there are about 950 cases with 20 critical and the IDF is being asked to provide 16 battalions to enforce a lockdown on the country. Here, governors are saying "it's the wild west out there" with regards to getting medical supplies from the federal government which shows how incompetent the direction is from the commander in chief. Meanwhile,  gun sales in the US are soaring and I can just see the cons on the forum running down to their local gun stores to buy more glocks with their federal stimulus rebates...

PLEASE hold your breath waiting on it lol

Newt's Ideas On Post Infection America

Posted By Greg Shaffer

No Forrest Jr I wont be buying more Glock's, I would have to buy the 1st one before I did that......not interested and my gun collection is just fine as it is......

Nor is my income affected negatively by the current situation as I am all but retired these days outside of some occasional consulting nor am I heavily invested in affected markets. I also have enough TP to weather the storm as well. I dont plan to accept any checks from the government either......
