The CDC just released statistics that reveal 40% of those being hospitalized are between the ages of 24-50. Those kids ignoring the risks are putting themselves and everyone else at HUGE risk. We seem to forget that 25 million Americans have asthma, and almost as many have CPOD, emphysema...

I'm pretty sure Drumpf isn't doing the coding or inserting a script to have that pop up on a site like this. Your assertion that any of us aren't as committed to defending our nation as you or anyone else is out of line and an insult. You owe us all an apology.

Ever see footage from a hog farm, slaughterhouse, feedlot here in the good ol' U.S.of A.? I wouldn't put too much faith in our regulatory mechanisms to protect us from food borne illnesses and such. There are plenty of HOMEGROWN, Made In America outbreaks of e coli, listeria, salmonella, etc...

News like this is certainly disconcerting about our federal preparedness. Combined with the 700 CDC positions still unfilled from the federal hiring freeze signed by executive order in 2017, the expertise and experienced help just isn't there. Whatever you all can glean from the news about...

We have a jug of Clorox wipes in the car between the driver and passenger seat. Been there for months and get used any time either of us comes in any contact with anything outside of our realm. If you run short of store bought wipes, the internet is loaded with recipes for home made...

Ok, here is one from 3 years ago after HIS hiring freeze done by executive order ( remember how he attacked Obama for signing them? ) left 700 jobs at the CDC unfilled and most STILL haven't been filled. We need every qualified person in the field of medicine on the job. To you, anything that...

That is an op-ed, not fact checked research into the truth like these. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/feb/28/michael-bloomberg/did-donald-trump-fire-pandemic-officials-defund-cd/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-fire-pandemic-team/...

Actually, we HAD learned from the many previous outbreaks of infectious diseases and viruses that have found their way here and abroad where the CDC is highly regarded as an indispensable partner in fighting them. Until a few months ago when the cray at the top took over our official...

You mean like when the current president blamed the previous president for his own failures to take this seriously as well as keep the CDC pandemic response team intact instead of getting rid of it in 2018?

Do you know what the term "exponential" means? It means one case turns into 2, 2 into 4, 4 into 8, etc.. etc... Countries all over the world and many with healthcare systems better than ours are being overwhelmed by the exponential growth in new positive cases. Italy's healthcare system is so...

Whatever. While you fixate on criticizing others posting facts and the reality of how serious this is, many of us are taking all this information to heart and protecting ourselves and our loved ones.

The number of cases just grew by 1,000 in about 24 hours. Estimates of those infected are running in the 2-2.5 MILLION by the time it peaks. What exactly about THAT kind of health catastrophe is political BS?

Are you suggesting that the precautions people are taking and that the government is forcing upon us aren't legitimate or shouldn't be undertaken? The "panic and hysteria" is a human condition, that our society seems to run to fairly easily, so folks need to look around and see if they are...

Oh brother.......... Now whose bias is really showing. Not bad for a guy without a dog in this hunt and accusing others of holding a political bias. Nice try. Add one to the hypocrite pile. Last time I checked, only Jared Kushner's brother is a partner in a healthcare company poised to be...

Please point out what "facts" I'm ignoring that are relevant to the discussion or placing the appropriate demand for accountability where it deserves to be placed. Bias clouding my critical thinking skills? I'd wipe your own glasses clean my friend. Even TODAY in the midst of the emergency, the...

Who cares about what I'm doing. I'm not driving the bus. I'm just a passenger on the bus worried about the driver blowing stop signs and veering back and forth. HE can't have it both ways. Here is an example of his inconsistency on the topic as late as the 9th of THIS month. Not to mention...

When is the last time you've seen practically the entire economy go into shutdown phase over car accidents, heart disease or any of the other red herring arguments you're trying to make? Ever see two cars that aren't moving cause a fatal wreck?

Responsibility and accountability for who is in CHARGE of informing the Congress of emerging issues, directing emergency responses, directing the CDC, etc... lies in the Executive Branch. Your blame shifting works only to prove that inaction at the Executive Branch level and its inability to...

Somehow I'm thinking it's got way more to do with stuff like this, than purely geographical in nature. Even as recently as the 9th of March, Drumpf and his sycophants on various far right media were still peddling the "liberal, fake news, hoax" narrative. Many still are even if he is coming...

Most of the people who die "from" the flu, actually die from a combination of the underlying illnesses they already suffer from and the compounding complications that catching the flu created. The percentage of flu deaths directly related to the flu and with few other underlying conditions is...
