Just for comparison...

At 156,114 deaths worldwide as of today.....you can move it up the list past Yellow Fever and heading for Swine Flu.

Trump's tweets pushed many online extremist communities to speculate whether the president was advocating for armed conflict, an event they’ve termed “the boogaloo."

When President Donald Trump tweeted "LIBERATE MINNESOTA!" on Friday morning, some of his most fervent supporters in far-right communities — including those who have agitated for violent insurrection — heard a call to arms.

The tweet was one of three sent from the president's account, along with "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!" and "LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!"

Trump's tweets came after small protests by Trump supporters broke out in a handful of states, many of which were fueled by anti-vaccination and anti-government groups. Anti-government sentiment has percolated among far-right extremists in recent weeks over the stay-at-home orders governors have issued to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Trump's tweets, however, pushed many online extremist communities to speculate whether the president was advocating for armed conflict, an event they’ve termed "the boogaloo," for which many far-right activists have been gearing up and advocating since last year

So like the flu.

Just more contagious..

I would think mostly because we didn't have a vaccine for it (even though the flu shot is somewhat ineffective).

Just for comparison...

Why do so many of them have a country name in them?

Because so many of them happened before 2015 when WHO established a best practice of not naming them after geographic locations, people’s names, species of animal or food, cultural, population, industry or occupational references, and terms that incite undue fear.

True. We’re still learning. There are stories from Asian countries of reinfection but I haven’t seen that from here or Europe yet. Isn’t herpes a virus that stays with a person and has reoccurring symptoms?

There’s also the additional wave(s) concern. I think you’ll see a slow relaxation of business closures through June but travel restrictions will continue. Idaho has now restricted its borders. Police are driving through golf course parking lots and ticketing Washington plates.

Maher gets it right on the media peddling virus fear/hype will re elect Trump.

Are you asking me?

There's a slim chance of ever having a vaccine for this, IMO. If we do get one, it will have mild success at best.

It clearly states that it's as of March 15, 2020.

No shit, barbecue sauce.

It's not a great comparison since it is a couple orders of magnitude off.

These daily Trump Press Rallies are off the rails....can someone stick a fork in this guy?

[mainejeff]

Maher gets it right on the media peddling virus fear/hype will re elect Trump.

Trump will be re-elected because he is one of the biggest celebrities this country has ever known.....and Americans LOVE their celebrities.

Then why use a graphic that is over a month out of date?

[89Hen]

Cleets uses memes that are completely false, what's wrong with using one that's only out of date (and clearly has the date)?

I'm not talking about Cleets. I'm talking about another poster who used a WAY out of date graphic to make Coronavirus more insignificant than it really is.

You know guys....it really IS exhausting battling the lies of the Trump Administration, Fox News and this board......

Anyone with a functioning brainstem can figure out how big the Coronavirus would be based on current numbers compared to the big killers in history.

You and BDKKK are birds of a feather when it comes to nitpicking messages that you don't like.

And I'm not your white whale Ahab.
