If you don't want to get political -- and I agree with that -- stick to the facts.

jwamuel, and if you read that politifact it says exactly what I posted. I suggest you read it fully and other than it took 6 months and not 7 for him to call it, I may have been off a few days. Now lets get back to race talk.

Politifact is owned by the Poynter Institute, a non-profit journalism school in Tampa,Fla. and was started by the Tampa Tribune. Just more of the fake media.

It was world wide pandemic and millions died.

Since then counties have collaborated to mitigate horrible epidemics.
When the Coronavirus first broke out there was lag of wonderment what was happening.
China lagged behind and then implemented very draconian quarantines.
Most counties did their due diligence to contain the virus.
Some with strict quarantining as well.

The US got due warning, instead lagged behind and dismissed the seriousness other counties were experiencing.
The known death rate is three times that of known Influenza and other pandemic illnesses.
It is expected to go higher.
Plus there is no antidote developed and that is a year away.

After three-four months warning we are only doing targeted quarantines.
Companies are sending employees home, public events and schools are being cancelled.
Our blissful days are going to be interrupted to save lives.

Unengaged Media and Central direction is fortunately being picked up and Lead up by others.
All the US and International organizations who are experienced in this problem are coming together developing plans.
Recommendations are being listened to in Hearings despite the pushback.
Horribly the Agency designed to deal with pandemics was shut down in 2018.

It is not just the corona virus -- it is COVID 19 - all human viruses have a generic title of corona virus - check the back of any disinfectant in you kitchen - like Lysol you will find words like effective in fighting the spread of a corona virus.

This is typical of how these so-called fact checkers operate.
The F/B poster left out a word (national), so they declare the whole post to be FALSE.

In my way of thinking , the point for comparing this to the swine flu, is that I don't remember major events being cancelled 10 years ago, the panic buying of TP, the non-stop media attention, as in this case. Anybody else remember anything like this?
Why all the media panic stirring this time? I'll let you be the judge.

So perhaps we need to be like the wino in the alley downtown who drinks Lysol.

Mr. Fahey, this is not a political thread, and shouldn't be.

This is NOT the Swine Flu..(Oh look the squirrel)
There are Vaccines to help mitigate it.
One of the reasons Flu shots are free.

There is NO Antidote - NO Vaccine for CV19
None will be forth coming for about a year.
The WHO and CDC are finally getting traction.

Feel free to listen to Denial Media.

Fact are facts, easy to peer review.
EVERY Government in the world is involved.

And because of that is must be political.
