are numbers mounting? OR nothing to see here

It looks like government will have to force people to self quarantine as restaurants, bars, and casino's are shut down across the country.
I do feel sorry for many small businesses. Hopefully they weather this well. It is looking like it will take longer to recover from than just the first two weeks of the regular baseball season.
Luckily people seem to be behaving themselves for the most part.

Where are all the dead Chinese?
As of 3/17 Johns Hopkins reported 3,111 deaths in China, a country of 1.3 BILLION people The virus appears to be waning in China according to the WHO. As expected those dying are the elderly who have health issues.
To be sure the world will get through this panic, but at what cost? A republican President, democrat and republican governors have usurped many of our freedoms by calling this an emergency. What precedent had been set for future rulers? Yes I use the word ruler because with the stroke of a pen, the Colorado governor destroyed many small businesses bytshutting them down. Do you find it odd that liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries are allowed to remain open, for example, in Pine Junction the Coffee Bean N Bakery has to shuttered its doors? Better to stand in line at Safeway with 50+ others waiting to use the self service check out to order to buy beer that go to the neighborhood coffee shop where there are never more that 5+ people in the shop.
What have we surrendered in terms of personal freedoms to this panic? (Why do people feel they need so much toilet paper?)
Note that in Illinois the mayor of Champaign banned gun and ammo sales. Why? Do you think that these executive powers will be relinquished?
Lots of questions to which I have no answers.
For me, the light is at the end of the tunnel, but I fear for my grandchildren and all of their generation.

Sorry, that I got off the topic.

And the other side of that argument....there are always two sides..

The current coronavirus disease, Covid-19, has been called a once-in-a-century pandemic. But it may also be a once-in-a-century evidence fiasco.

At a time when everyone needs better information, from disease modelers and governments to people quarantined or just social distancing, we lack reliable evidence on how many people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or who continue to become infected. Better information is needed to guide decisions and actions of monumental significance and to monitor their impact.

Draconian countermeasures have been adopted in many countries. If the pandemic dissipates — either on its own or because of these measures — short-term extreme social distancing and lockdowns may be bearable. How long, though, should measures like these be continued if the pandemic churns across the globe unabated? How can policymakers tell if they are doing more good than harm?

PERHAPS, the purpose of this traumatic turn of events is this......to re position the populace to
recognize what is TRULY important in life.....the universe ALWAYS gives U choices, to think about
things....when those opportunities are squandered,then a BRICK is forthcoming....the brick just
busted thru the proverbial window.

CHINESE had already attempted the king's recommended advice.....and then issued a DIRE
WARNING about the drug use for corona....Dr. F is CORRECT, there must be proven path
BEFORE using this for a different strain of virus....HOW IT REACTS IS NOT WELL KNOW.(for
this specfic virus),the king does NOT know of what he speaks....he has a good feeling about it
and has been proven right lots of times.....says he.

Let's see SCIENCE vs. super ego....I pick science for 2,000 dollars,Alex...(.it's a gameshow)

I think it is to wake up people like you to the fact that President Trump is a sort of God. That will make him the second God like president.
Just wait for it.

Bloomberg is the very last source I would trust. They announced they would only write articles trashing the president and nothing negative about any democrat. They are even considered news any more, just a joke.

So, when they offer you the vaccine, will you refuse it because it came out under “the King’s” administration? I’m getting bit tired of the toxicity and hatefulness coming from the left. Politicizing a national crisis is a move that makes pond scum look pretty good.

It appears to be an excerpt.....is something omitted? STILL does not matter, the king will either
emerge from his childhood and become an ADULT OR he will remain a manchild and make
the rest of the globe a massive mess.....(envision a child playing in the sandbox.throwing dirt
at playmates).....THIS is his defining moment as a human being....not God, but a MALE who
is master of his own fate.....except this time, it will be in archives for eons.
