Even The Flu Is Political-

How long do you suppose it will be before the left starts forcing things to cancel or be closed?

I don't mean to minimize this thing, but it really seems to me that the left in particular is kinda going overboard. Just like they go overboard during any other crisis situation.

When there is a shooting - they call for gun control before the dead are at room temperature.

When the president makes a phone call, they deny thaat transcripts are real and make shit up.

When their candidate loses, they make shit up and try to impeach the winner.

When a storm is brewing, it's named the storm of the century and reminded that if we would simply adopt an 1850's life style, everything would be fine.

This time its illness. Cold and flu season is at least as old as I am. I remember people getting colds and the flu for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it was reportedly worse than other years. Do you remember the swine flu epidemic - 2009? I don't either - not really. I mean I remember hearing about it. I looked it up and I guess Obama's CDC never did a complete synopsis of it. But later they estimated that between 7,070 and 13,930 deaths were attributable to H1N1 flu from April to 14 November 2009. And nobody panicked. Life went on.

But, Trump is the president now. And they never will let a crisis go to waste. All kinds of stuff has closed down and been cancelled already - and you know it's pressure from the media and the left. And, it's having the desired effect - hurting the economy - Trumps trump card.

So, how long before they try to legislate forced closings, behavior modification for all of us, to stick a fork in the economy, once and for all?

Sorry @budwick but reality is not supporting your left hating rant.

The governor of Ohio, a Republican Trump supporter, just closed all the schools in Ohio for the next 3 weeks. He also has banned all public gatherings of over 100 people and forbids visitors to nursing homes.

The draconian dictatorial measures are being instituted by a right-wing rich boy.

@QuixoticSoul There you go, us dumb liberals pointing out the fact that a virus has no political affiliation. The stupid rhetoric by all political schmucks is doing nothing to help the people deal with this crisis. My family and I will take appropriate measures to mitigate the possibility of infection. I expect our government leaders to do the same on the social level.

But dammit, they better not screw up my vacation plans.
