Please. . . . Calm down

a reply to: XCrycek

So are you panicking because of the disease or because of the president? Inquiring minds want to know.

a reply to: XCrycek

What would you have him do that he hasn't done?

Just curious.

Made in China (By humans, not bat f#cking soup) and just another standard flu virus.

Main stream media going mental as there’s nothing else newsworthy just noW.

I have a feeling that many of you on ATS want people to "calm down" because the president is a jackass and really isn't suited for handling big crisis.

Before you start calling me names and tell me that I suffer from TDS, I don't think Hillary would be the right person either, nor Biden.

Even you die hard Trump fans deep inside know that Trumps communication and handling of this virus has been crap so far. Compare how Eisenhower, Churchill, Kennedy handled those big crisis with the chimp in the red hat and you'll get my point.

Surely many of you must be sick n tired of his rhetorics and the fact him exploiting CoVid for his political campaign?!

The CoVid was finally a chance for Trump to stand out as a great, strong leader defending interest of all Americans putting all political bickering aside. But what has Trump done? He takes his red maga hat on and uses the airtime to bash political opponents.

This political nonsense about Trump bladiebla. Please stop it, seek another thread please. Thank you.

I'm from the Netherlands and want to talk about this thing going around, not the Trump bladiebla stuff. Go and grow your own live! There is more then Trump, and politics. Stop listening to politicians, they lie, do your thing, do what you think is needed and don't rely on your so called government. It's your live not theirs.

Please stick to the virus, politics is nonsense.

Could you be so kind to reply the below question?

---
So it's new, we both agree. Not a flu and not a cold. A Corona Virus is not the Flu. It seems more related to a normal cold. But again it isn't a 'normal cold' what is it then?

Elaborate please. If you know more then I do, please explain? If your not willing to explain, I call BS and mark this thread as a political thread which I don't need.

Kind regards,

You do understand my english wordings do you?

I speak dutch, english and german, in the process I learned to write things down. If you don't understand my english or writings, sorry, it's the best I can do. So be gentle. If you don't understand what I'm saying, please ask what I mean. Else I don't know what to do about that.

Again this thread is about the virus, and CALM DOWN, not politics. Or did I misunderstood? You tell me? If I misunderstood the subject of this thread, my bad, I'm truly sorry. But your attack on my english writing is uncalled for.

You do understand the questions I ask right?

I want a clear answer on my question from the OP, is that to much to ask? This thread shouldn't be in Diseases and pandemic section when this evolves to political discussion. Do you agree?

My question @ the OP stands.

If you are not willing to discuss because of my bad English, I don't mind. For sure I'm not blaming you to speak/type properly Dutch but you do blame me that I cannot write some proper english words lol.

You are kidding right?

a reply to: XCrycek

That wasn't left/right. That was asking an honest question - What do you think ought to be done?

If you, XCrycek, were the Big Man in the Whitehouse right now, what would you do that isn't being done?

During Ebola, the only criticism I had of Obama is that I would have restricted flights out of affected places in Africa. There. That gives you an example.

*That they are allowed to talk about.

So both @DBCowboy and @XCrycek are not responding. Just as I thought. Overwhelming isn't it? People who do respond and doesn't go along with your nonsense?

They (the persons mentioned above) can only spew political nonsense, which is a shame, if you ask me. But hey who am I, just a dot on this earth.

But please people, CALM DOWN, i'ts not the end of our world. Keep save, I wish all of you the best luck! And take care of the people you love.

Kind regards,

There's a meme going around saying very election year has a disease-SARS 2004, AVIAN 2008, SWINE 2010, MERS 2012, EBOLA 2014, ZIKA 2016, EBOLA 2018, CORONA 2020. That may, or may not add a little context for some.

One thing I found awhile back may or may not interest those so inclined to believe in such things.

Can copper kill viruses?
Keevil explains that copper ions -- electrically charged molecules -- kill dangerous viruses by destroying their genetic material. Copper ions do this by interacting with oxygen and changing the oxygen molecules. As a result, the virus cells cannot mutate.

And then there's Thieves Oil:

The potential benefits of thieves oil include boosting the immune system, promoting respiratory health, and fighting microbes. Although some of these benefits are anecdotal, the individual components of thieves oil have been shown to have antimicrobial properties, promote wound healing, and may provide pain relief.Jul 31, 2019

In the Apocalypse, a clean anus trumps all else. I believe it was foretold in the Book of Revelations... The seldom mentioned Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse rode a streaked horse and brought with him "the itch."

Its funny how more people in the world do not use toilet paper and even see it as even dirty. I also like how people will kill for bottle water but do not own a reverse osmosis pump or even one plastic 55 gallon drum. It seems freeze dried foods are limited too. I have bough freeze dried meat in bulk, and that seems to not be available out there, so you need to buy individual packets at best and they are very expensive. People are doing this but also fail to understand what something as simple as a 50 pound bag of rice equals 360 cups of cooked rice. Also add a 50 pound bag of pinto beans that is about 400 serving. My family is 1/2 Asian so we eat rice and I think we keep 6 bags at a time and cycle though them.

That last area people fail to think about is vitamins...If # his the fan that is what I'm going after.

Perhaps they have jobs that don't allow them to be online 24/7?

You aren't the only coots who think its better to go from the Wu-Flu than to get Alzheimers….this is not the first time I have heard that EXACT STATEMENT from a boomer...it is my sincere hope that all the old coots don't keep on trucking and show a total disregard for pregnant women children and the plethora of others at high risk from this illness....or just go sit in a Bingo hall or Mall somewhere the rest of us are now avoiding in groups so you go quicker with far-off smiles on your faces as you remember things ok.
On the upside your hoard will be a welcome sight to whoever finds it when you eventually forget your way home...lol..

When we do get alzheimer disease, we will have a hundred twenty cans of Baroni's Beef Raviolis in stock, We should know how to use a canopener yet, that info would be in the primoridal part of the brain, it is the last to go. We can have a standard delivery of ten cases every two months delivered. We can have Schwamm deliver cases of ice cream bars into our outside freezer too, If I revert back to when I was ten, I won't remember I am allergic to ice cream and milk.

I sorta/kinda Agree..... the hype is worse than the disease (unless you become one of the 'grave' bound victims)

being a engineered bio-weapon is certain but not yet proven @ 100%... (likely because the 'Pandemic-Bonds' have a $5Trillion leveraged-Derivitives valuation & those bonds cash in on 17 July 2020) so an Engineered Pandemic Pathogen will not be proven any-time soon !

since the OP tells us to sit-down think sanely.... here is another 6 minute audio clip … telling us in a soothing way that this Outbreak of COVID19 is in no way a Civilization Ending virus]

see: www.youtube.com...

summary: cov future 6 minits-->> million dying, --->>> this pandemic will-not collapse civilization

Just got back from the hospital.

Had a crisis.

a reply to: DBCowboy

sorry to hear that news...




on a brighter note, I will travel some 2 miles to the CVS Pharmacy..... where there is a medical facility in the store which is an authorized emergency care/treatment walk-in clinic for the many Veterans, aged Veterans like myself to go to for mild cases of colds/fever/ etcetera (no use in overburdening our VA Primary Care Doctors with minor things]

I had a mild case of congestion back in 2017 where I got cleared up on a 30 day program of Meds for Lung bacterial infection...

the Miniute Clinic is 2 miles distant (20 blocks) whereas the VA clinic is 12 miles distant... the VA medical stuff is finally getting things operational... it might just be at this tourist oriented town with a huge retirement community... but I sure hope, all the Vets, all over the place get a well deserved Relief from the outright hassle that health-care once was …
We are being included in the community instead of being shooed away like my family of In-Laws once were, mostly Uncles & cousins that were packaged up & shuttled away to inferior VA (hospice-Hospitals where they usually faded away from memory at a distant, cold, institution setting

I'm tempted to post flyers all around town saying this. But I'm lazy...
