When All Your Talking Points Fail In A Crisis
I’m glad everyone is taking this beer bug seriously, I’m amazed at the level of panic (thanks MSM). When this virus dissipates and everything gets back to normal, it’s going to be obvious what actually happened and what steps Americans need to do to be prepared for a real crisis.
Democrat, GOPe, and #nevertrump arguments of global markets, trade, open borders, and socialized medicine are all going to be used against them in the coming election year, they can’t defend them now without looking like idiots and they picked the perfect front man to be their voice…Sundown Joe Biden.

This is not the regular flu. You haven’t seen the full effect of it yet.
Man, look, I get that people want to think this is all an over-reaction, but people are afraid, telling them this is nothing, not a big deal, is wrong. Why not be honest and respectful about it? The truth is, all you can do is try not to get it, wash your hands, avoid crowds, etc… and hope there’s a cure or better care for it by the time you do, or a vaccine developed before you get it.
To say there wasn’t a panic around H1N1 isn’t a fair comparison. Here’s a comparison of H1N1 to Covid-19 if you want to know why H1N1 truly was no big deal in comparison:
H1N1 infected 59,000,000 American’s
264,000 were hospitalized, that’s 0.4%
12,000 people died, that’s a death rate of 0.002%
Covid-19 requires around 20% hospitalization if 59 million people were to get it 11,800,000 people will need to be hospitalized, far more than 264,000.
If Covid-19 kills 2 percent (that’s the low estimate), and infects the same 59 million Americans 1,180,000 people will die, that’s a whole lot higher than 12,000.
We should be saying, “yes, this is a big deal, yes this is scary, and yes this is going to be quite challenging. But we get through this by doing what we can to get though this. It won’t be here forever and the more we support each other the easier it will be to get to the other side of this.
Example: Not saying hand sanitizer is going to help, but say it does, if you buy 10 bottles of it and only need/use 1, that’s 9 other people spreading germs around, possibly getting sick… don’t be a dick, you’re just making this that much worse.
Yes it’s a big deal, yes, we will get through this, no reason to panic as that’s not helpful in any way. One day this will be in the past.
I’m calling it the “Wuhan Flu” or “Kung-Flu”, just to irritate the right people.
Ned: This might not be the flu. Got it. We’re also not China, where people piss and shit in the street and both sanitation and hygiene are things that the round-eye does. We’re also not Italy, with an ancient population and socialized medicine. I don’t want to make light of a pandemic, but we will not get hit like those countries. Thousands are dying in Iran? Yeah, that’s what happens when a 7th century religion reverses civilization and returns your country to the Middle Ages, where you still wipe your ass with your fingers.
At least 14% of the people who have this virus don’t have any symptoms what so ever. They’re asymptomatic, which means this virus is light enough that people are getting it and don’t even notice. It’s not the Black Plague. It’s not the Spanish Flu. We will get through this. Wash your hands again.
Lets be accurate. The left DID NOT ‘release’ this virus. I doubt proof of its origin will ever be available but ALL reasonable facts point to this being a weaponized form of a common coronoavirus that either escaped or was deliberately released from a bioweapons lab in Wuhan China. Do NOT blame it’s existence on the left. However they have NO PROBLEM using it for propaganda purposes in their quest for power and the destruction of America…. as in honoring Obama henchman Rahm Emanuel’s advice to ‘never let a crisis go to waste’.
What reasonable facts are you talking about? Nearly all new viruses are zoonotic in origin (virus specializes to infect an animal mutates and can now infect humans) — Ex: HIV virus infected monkeys before a strain started infecting humans. This coronavirus strain is well documented to come from animals in the Wuhan animal markets…I’m no fan of the left but isn’t it you having “ NO PROBLEM using this for propaganda purposes in a quest for power and the destruction of America”

Lots of people remain in a shocking state of denial about the coronavirus, but that denial can only continue for a few more weeks.
the thing is…the american public has a short memory.
after this “crisis” is over, the same sheeple who are panic buying the shelves empty will…eat the food….use the paper products….list the freezer and the generator on Craig’s list at a deep discount because “i don’t need it any more”
then in a year or two, they will panic over the next media hyped emergency…..real or not…
and have to panic buy the shelves empty again.
