At what point did you / will you take the coronavirus epidemic seriously?

This can get tedious very fast, but...

Is your evidence of 'pushing an agenda' anything more substantial than the press doesn't like Trump? Is it possible to believe in two things simultaneously; that the press overwhelmingly leans left, and that there isn't a general liberal agenda that they try to push on the country?

No, it's the inconsistencies and the speculation in the article, and the tendency to fill any gaps in the factual record with assumptions that always tilt one way, which I pointed out above. I agree it is getting tedious.

Are we sure it's gone so wrong?

The fact that everything got shut down pretty much says that it has gone so wrong. I think that was avoidable, but did become necessary at the point it did.

this boomer fascination with media bias and dismissing things out of hand based on the domain the link is from are up there with the dumbest things in the world. if you can't consume media with enough skepticism to figure out what's verifiable and what's not, you shouldn't be allowed to vote or drive.

That's what we're doing, ignoramus. We are critiquing stuff we read. I said I subscribe the WP. Nobody said that we reject it because of the domain. Did you read my link to he WP yesterday? The media I link most of the time is the NYT, and the NYT is part of the problem. Have you read UVA's posts (is he a boomer)? He's dissected the article. On the other hand, I bet you haven't read it.

Painting an entire group with a negative characterization is bigotry.

I remember your first sig. A quote "white and delightsome" quote from the Book of Mormon. I'm sure you were trying to be funny. It' wasn't. You're not funny or witty. Just boorish.

I guessed I missed all of those.

I'm still not convinced it's a necessity. I'm supporting it, because I'm a good citizen. And it's possible maybe even probable that it was necessity. But it also still seems possible that it's totally unnecessary.

Nursing homes seem to be the reservoir everywhere.

That part of the problem, there wasn't enough testing and data to safely not lock things down. No politician is going to risk lots of casualties.

81 new case in Korea today, 40 of them at the airport from those arriving from outside Korea.

Grim description of a New York hospital. It wakes you up with this:

Dr. Joshua Rosenberg, a critical care doctor, arrived the next morning at the Brooklyn Hospital Center. Within hours, he was racing down the stairwell from the main intensive care unit on the sixth floor to a temporary one on the third, where he passed one of his favorite medical students.

“Shouldn’t you be home?” he asked, registering surprise. Clinical rotations for students had been halted to avoid exposing them to the coronavirus. “My mom’s here,” the student replied.

COVID-19 has overrun New York's healthcare infrastructure. They are now using makeshift ERs and ICUs in the Javits Center and pop-up military tents in the city.

Yet some some still doubt with "maybe the cure is worse than the disease."

[smokymountainrain]

Mass transit may explain why New York is 9-10 times worse than California.

Absolutely. Combination of mass transit and population density.

How many tests? Honestly we need to stop referring to them as cases and start calling them what they are- positive tests.
