Anybody buying this media fueled COVID-19 bull schitt?

So now a Tiger at the NY Zoo has come down with COVID19... no BS.

Seems this virus can be passed onto any man, woman or animal.

Dogs and cats as well. Although they seem to be less suceptible symptom wise.

My question is what asshole coughed or sneezed on the tiger?!

Joe Exotic. You really had to ask?

Do you really think it is logical that several health and safety agencies in several different states and countries would all start mis-identifying the flu all at the same time? And that people would die from it at a rate sufficient to engage the President and Vice President and result in three convention centers in three different major metropolitan areas being converted into hospitals, all because of an “oops”?

I just started to watch the Zoo: Bronx edition on the animal planet, it's a really well done series featuring the behinds scene efforts it takes to care for the animals.

It's really sad concerning the Tigers, not only has one Tiger tested positive but all the others are showing illness as well, an infected zoo employee is the probable source they are saying.

The question remains. Is it logical to believe that multiple health and service agencies in 50 states and 187 countries all start making the same mis-diagnosis at the same time, resulting in multiple thousands of deaths and immeasurable damage to multiple world economies? Seems a bit unlikely. Since you’ve figured out their mistake, maybe you need to alert the Surgeon General.

Now we know that non Coronavirus deaths may be counted as, I would like to know total flu related deaths broken down by month for let's say the last 10 years to see where we really are. It better be a monster increase in numbers to justify killing the entire economy and putting 10s of millions on unemployment, many further on food stamps, and putting many businesses out of business for good.

Seems like a pretty simple task for those who have the data, wouldn't you think?

Hell of a first post Nicholas. Prayers and good thoughts to you, your family and all of your co-workers. Thank you for your service.

Thanks, I follow on here a lot for information but rarely post. I just felt I had to post to this because it is very serious. This is not a joke and we are all in danger trying to keep people safe who don't want to follow the rules and quarantine themselves. Now obviously those people don't deserve to die but it puts the healthcare system in further strain because people arent following directions in NY.

Are you seriously suggesting killing tens, hundreds if not millions of people for the economy would have been better? Do you not understand exponential growth, and what/how covid19 works? Do you just plan to wait and act until it is too late and say 'no-one could've predicted such a thing' when literally every expert has been saying we already acted too late?

What's even worse is that if they had responded to it quickly, most of the fools would be talking about how it was hysteria and an overreaction because 'only a few people died.' It's like Y2K all over again. To this day, fools still believe Y2K was a fake panic because we spent billions of dollars upgrading software and nothing happened. It is like people can't process that maybe us spending billions upgrading the software is what prevented it from happening.

When someone acts early to prevent a disaster the less intelligent crowd says we overreacted because nothing happened. On the flip side, when we allow a disaster to happen, those same people ask how this could happen. There is no winning.

How to lose by winning - Identify a serious problem, launch a massive campaign to address it, hope that campaign is a huge success, people outside the know question if that campaign was worth it, profit.

Edit: By the way, the economy was already one hiccup away from a pullback. Unfortunately, we don't have an FDR type of president in office to right the ship, but that's a whole different discussion.

I think I see what you are trying to get at—are there more cases of Covid-19 deaths per month than Flu deaths. Though I still don't understand after hearing from people on the front lines even in this very thread we are still getting comparisons to the flu. Corona-virus is NOT the flu and it is not how many it has killed it is how many it COULD kill if we don't do what we are doing (self quarantine). To me its pretty clear if we didn't do this more people would be dead and except for funeral homes and flower shops we'd be in a worse predicament.

If we started testing early and had more test kits then more people would know whether they had it and are now immune to it. So theoretically they could be out and about without spreading it. But no, we were told;

on January 22nd
"We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine"

February 10th
"Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away"

What's interesting with all the delusional people saying to "open the economy" is that they think that economy will just restart and everything will be back to normal. It won't, even if this whole thing went away tomorrow. People won't start going to restaurants because someone lifted a stay at home order.
Economy was extremely fragile with zero capacity for bad times (which people are always told to have savings for bad times - why does the corporations don't have to ?) which this is very quickly highlighted.

You can argue all you want on forums, fbs and post lame memes (like some here do) - it doesn't change the reality. Denying reality doesn't work as we had the best example of it in the highest leadership post in this country.

• New York International Auto Show postponed until August (given New York’s condition, likely will be cancelled)
• North American International Auto Show in Detroit cancelled
• Indianapolis 500 delayed from traditional Memorial Day weekend until August 23rd. For now.
• Camaro SuperFest in Ypsilanti Michigan cancelled
