Coronavirus Is Much, Much Worse Than The Flu


As John McCormack noted:
Although there is still much we don’t know about the coronavirus, we know enough to say that it is far more dangerous and deadly than the flu. It took twelve months and 61 million infections for the H1N1 swine flu to kill 12,500 Americans in 2009–10. The Centers for Disease Control estimated that the seasonal flu killed 34,200 Americans during the 2018–19 flu season. In 2019, car crashes killed 38,800 Americans.
As for the new coronavirus? On March 20, the death toll in the United States was 225. By April 20, the coronavirus had killed more than 42,000 Americans.

Donald Trump, Republicans and the right-wing media have done such a disservice to this country by muddling this discussion with all their lies, misinformation and nonsense. This is the height of irresponsibility for those with a public platform. Turn off Fox News. Turn off Donald Trump. Listen to the experts.

Republicans, Please, All Of You, Get Together

Kansas Republicans override Democratic governor’s stay-at-home order in brazen power grab

You know what, Republicans go ahead an get together, mingle in large groups, spread the coronavirus among yourselves and die quickly.

Republicans, I've had enough with trying to reason, be practical, or espouse the advice of medical experts to you. Like everything else in life, you all are completely selfish, stubborn, unreasonable and only care about partisanship and power. You're greedy, stupid troglodytes. 

So, go ahead, get together. But when you're sick, or your family is sick, or your friend is sick, don't you fucking dare call a doctor or go to the hospital. You're on your own. Just hunker down in that doomsday bunker of yours and die.
