Are you equally under the impression that no one really cares about the Don Lemon moment? Pry not enough to change the election in 2016 but it may in 2020. Most people who are offended by those comments were already voting for Trump. Lemon just reinforced the out of touch coastal liberal elites contempt for middle America that has been a Republican rallying cry for quite a while now. This strategy by the right hurts candidates like Warren, Bloomberg, and Buttigeg more than Sanders or Biden.

Nanker Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 170 deaths out of 7,811 cases. That’s a 2.2% fatality rate. Not much different than the influenza outbreaks. 1
Wacka Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Take the people that might be infected with the coronavirus and place them in downtown LA. The coronavirus can fight it out with the typhus. Edited January 30, 2020 by Wacka

I think the cure for Coronavirus has been found. That would be the Kobe Bryant media feeding frenzy. Stay tuned more entertainment coming next week! Another hoax, celebrity death or misstep or maybe time for another bogey man episode. Terrorist attack or maybe that little ugly N.Korean guy will pull a stunt. Who knows either way I got my popcorn.

I've been waiting since the 60s for the Russians to nuke us. Then, in the 70's the ozone was deteriorating so fast because of us sinful capitalists living the high life, we were going to be fried like a sunny side up egg. I think the clock on that was like 15 years or something. And when was acid rain a thing? I know well before Y2K. So much fear porn over my life I forget the timelines.

Hedge Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 At conservative estimates, if the trend holds, the number of confirmed cases would be around 20K by the end of our weekend, with 400-500 deaths, which is still a mortality rate of around 2%. It would also appear that the rise in international cases are not close to the growth seen in China (and still no international deaths), which is very positive, so far. A 6th case has been confirmed in the US, in Chicago. This was the first case of human to human transmission (all others had come from China). It was the spouse of the other infected person in Chicago, so they had more than just passing contact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some updated numbers, as I was putting this together: 1
ALF Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 A deadly virus is spreading from state to state and has infected 15 million Americans so far. It's influenza The 2019-2020 flu season is projected to be one of the worst in a decade, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. At least 140,000 people have been hospitalized with complications from the flu, and that number is predicted to climb as flu activity swirls. In the 2019-2020 season so far, 15 million people in the US have gotten the flu and 8,200 people have died from it, including at least 54 children. Flu activity has been elevated for 11 weeks straight, the CDC reported, and will likely continue for the next several weeks. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/30/health/flu-deadly-virus-15-million-infected-trnd/index.html

I just clicked on the last page, so not really sure how a thread about the corona virus devolved into a rehash of the 2016 election. But anyways, I think HRC deplorables comment was the turning point. In any election there are fence sitters and in 2016 there was a segment of conservative and libertarian voters that were leaning towards a 3rd party vote (such as Gary Johnson) The Deplorables comment was the moment those coin flip voters made up their mind

The prospect of an Obama 3rd term to people on the politically engaged right was enough for them to hold their noses and vote for Trump. They're smart enough to know that a vote for a 3rd party is worthless. We'll never really know but the hatred of Obama/Hillary overcame whatever reservations they had about Trump even before that comment.

But a chunk of the less engaged and swing voters were either going to sit it out or vote for a 3rd party. Until the deplorables moment

I would really like to know what happened with the Bills loss to the Texans - there was something the Trumpster did to tip the scales, I just need CNN to tell me...
