Let's all relax and get one of these,
I want to invest in maxi-pads.

Ban all college sport activities, it's too dangerous



Statement on Coronavirus & College Athlete Health

National College Players Association's Statement on Coronavirus and College Athlete Health:

"In the wake of the emerging coronavirus pandemic, the NCAA and its colleges should take precautions to protect college athletes. They should also make public which actions will be taken and when. Precautions should include cancelling all auxiliary events that put players in contact with crowds such as meet and greets and press events.

Athletic programs should also take every possible measure to sanitize buses and airplanes used to transport players.

In regard to the NCAA's March Madness Tournament and other athletic events, there should be a serious discussion about holding competitions without an audience present.

I've been in my bunker since the Swine flu outbreak of 2009. Is it safe to come out yet?

And you, yourself, made this virus political in post number 4 and subsequent posts after.

My God, yes that would be terrible if someone politicized a pandemic virus and had the gall to criticize the President and the government's response. To the gallows with them!

Appreciate your admission that you did politicize this.

By the way, wasn't it your rule...went something like this..."I don't care what Obama did then, or what Hillary did...we are here now, with a problem on our hands."

This is just too damned easy.

Regular flu deaths this year - 16,000, thats in 2 months!

Im not wearing a mask

Not making light of it, but here you go. Dude was comprised, and as such, this the flu, pneumonia, etc could have taken him out.


The man had underlying health problems that put him at high risk of developing a severe case of the virus, according to state health officials. He died at EvergreenHealth, a regional healthcare network based in Seattle.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

seems to be exactly what he is trying to do. If Congress would allow it.

The Democrats don't want our president to be successful in anything. It does not matter what he does. They're a bunch of hateful ******** that just can't stand not being in charge.

They have absolutely no real concern for anyone or anything,but themselves. A lot of Americans have had it with them and their 3 year tantrum....soon to be 8 years.

US Surgeon General Urges Public to ‘Stop Buying Masks’

The surgeon general of the United States has urged the public to “stop buying masks,” warning that it could lead to a shortage for healthcare workers and effectively put them and communities at risk.

“Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!” Adams wrote in his post, adding that masks are “not effective” in preventing the public from catching the virus and a lack of such protective equipment could put healthcare workers at risk.

“Not having a mask does not necessarily put you at any increased [risk] of contracting this disease,” he said

Racist Trump!!!


More travel restrictions announced affecting Iran, Italy and South Korea

The Trump administration Saturday announced additional travel restrictions affecting Iran, Italy and South Korea in response to the coronavirus outbreak

Vice President Pence said the existing travel ban on Iran would extend to foreign nationals who had been in that country the past 14 days. The State Department also is increasing its warning advising Americans not to travel to parts of Italy and South Korea affected by the virus.

Yes. Thanks to Barack Hussein Obama, we are now living happily in a post racial society. Obamacare has been the end all, and global model for expert , and affordable, healthcare. Our national debt has been reduced to a couple hundred dollars. Islamic terrorism has been totally eradicated. Socialism has been debunked as an economic model. Dogs are laying with cats.

If masks are not effective then how are healthcare workers at risk if there is a shortage? You can't have it both ways. I work in a nursing home and during flu season we are required to wear a mask if we don't have the flu shot or if the norovirus is going around. The masks do not seem to be very effective in my opinion

Was thinking the same thing. “Stop buying protective vests. They don’t work and they need to be available for the National Guard.”

They’re effective in preventing the spread of the flu if you have it, not effective in keeping you from contracting it. Your employer isn’t looking out for your wellbeing, rather that of the patients.

There are different levels of masks. Some are better than others.

So these healthcare workers have the flu?

You tell me.

Think it through...

Similarly, if you are the bodyguards of Mike Bloomberg, you need to carry fully loaded clips, but if you are the rest of us, no more than 3 rounds.The distinction is, some people are more equal than others.

I think we should be ready to write off the big cities on both the east and west coasts, quarantine them in, seal them off, blow up all roads leading in and out.

Yes, moving underground is always an option, but only if you have the air scrubbers installed like on pg 247 of the handbook.

Spike, the only person with rational solutions, to complex problems, to be found in this madhouse.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Correct. Most of my nursing home staff that do not get the flu shot wear a surgical/medical mask. Same masks that are used in most isolation instances. When there is greater risk because of the illness(like suspected TB), N95s are to be worn as they prevent the droplet nuklei (sp?).

There is shortages in supply. We had a call on it recently. All those world is ending tunnel dwellers buying truck loads lol.
