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?

Do you still stand by your statements here that the “left” is making a big deal out of nothing?
Budwick · 70-79, M
@JoeyFoxx they're making it to be worse than it really is - yes.
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
@Budwick who is “they”? And how are they making it worse?

I suppose the ER docs in the tri-state area are exaggerating eh?

@JoeyFoxx Don't be lazy / stupid.
Who were you asking about - THE LEFT!
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
@Budwick there is no “the left”. There are socialists. There are progressive democrats. But there’s no organization called “the left”.

With organization, it’s hard to see what you might be talking about.

For example, is Charlie Baker, Republican governor of Massachusetts part of what you call, “the left?”

What about Larry Hogan?

Please tell me more about “the left” and how they are making it out to be worse?

You created The Left Monster - deal with it.

@Budwick did I?

I guess you’ve learned nothing about me.

@JoeyFoxx Joey, I know you dance around the perimeter.
But, you constantly are poking the right wing bears.
Either get in, or get out.
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
@Budwick I don’t dance around any perimeter. I’ve been blocked by at least as many crazy liberals as I have folks on the right.

I don’t bother with most people at all my friend.

I like you. That’s why I poke.

What does that mean?

@Budwick it means that I’m on my phone and autocorrect enjoys random typos
