Yeah right, that's why I read about that crap on The Hill and MSM  a day or two ago. The covid reference is still nutzoid, though. And, Greg, it's not the flu, either. It's a novel virus, meaning a new one and not a morphed influenza virus. It may cause symptoms similar to the flu but it's definitely not the flu, as per your statement from another post:
"The reality is for most it is simply a new variety of the flu"
"Influenza (the flu) and COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, are both infectious respiratory illnesses. Although the symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu can look similar, the two illnesses are caused by different viruses."John Hopkins resource

it may be confusing that I would respond on occasion to a post by Richard or Greg, but I frankly don’t even read their posts and just get the general gist of what they’re saying and respond at them not to them. I don’t even care if I get wrong what they typed.

Russ, that's a good question. I suppose the answer is that this is a political forum and as such it's going to be contentious at best. So, you've got to expect the sort of rhetoric that you may read from Greg and Rich. I expect to hear it more from what I and others have called, "Trumptoids". In my red neck of the woods, I hear similar remarks from beer-drinking Trumptoids who are socializing in their garages at the times I jog by in the evenings and such remarks are directed towards Newsom for enacting the stay at home orders. In a public arena, such as this forum or out in the street, you're going to hear it...

You consider The Hill a MSM source? Really? Guess I shouldnt be surprised.....
Greg, my point is that while they may have similar symptoms in some cases the fact remains they are two entirely DIFFERENT DISEASES. And that's what's really important here, and much of what you may hear on Fox or on other conservative outlets frequently fixates on the similarities versus the aforementioned fact.
Just as ONE example of a major difference between the two diseases is the fact that there are many asymptomatic carriers of the coronavirus who spread it around while there are very few, if any, asymptomatic carriers of the flu. But since you're not a dumbass, I'm sure you knew that, right?...

Case in point how often do you see me share a foxnews clip on here? They are few and far between.......

As for Dumbass #2 aka Russ's comments both of you should understand I could not care less if either of you responded to anything from me lol......now if you were signing my paychecks I might feel differently smile

When I said symptoms I really meant symptoms not anything related to how they spread.....I called you a dumbass because you actually thought you needed to explain in great detail specifics about covid as if you think I am not aware....I am pretty sure by now everyone here is well versed in the details and to assume not makes you a dumbass lol
"I am not sure the term "many" is applicable..."
"Researchers say 25 percent to 50 percent of people with COVID-19 are unaware they have the virus.
This allows the novel coronavirus to spread more rapidly throughout a community.
Experts say these carriers without symptoms make it even more important for people to wear face masks in public."

I guess he's omnipotent correct?  In your mind he cannot be wrong.

Every word you say exposes more about you and your mindset.  
No, we're waiting for an elected autocrat to do that...

I'm committed to do so, because for me, the alternative is unacceptable. 
Why don't you just move to Arkansas, no stay at home order there...
