us which if those statements are wrong?
As of mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result (0.4% of the estimated total number of people who contracted it), and 12,000 died (0.02% not statistically different than the seasonal flu, the dead people might not agree though).
I would feel safe if this virus had those stats.
In South Korea which is testing 1/200 of it's citizens and controlling community spread the death rate is more than 8x the H1N1 virus, In Italy it is similar and you cant figure out the true death rate till it is over. So far the CDC is saying this is much worse.


you want to say he’s made too many statements that were incorrect, i agree. you want to say he’s not the right guy to restore calm and confidence, i agree. That doesn’t mean the media salivating over the opportunity to use this to help him lose the election. they’re deranged with hate.

They see the incompetence and report on it, you assume that the people who report on the federal government have not seen how things work, how information flows and talk to people inside administrations about what is going on behind the walls of the WH

look at you here. you said obama’s incarceration of children wasn’t problematic, but Trumps is, because of the numbers. All i did was ask you what the maximum
number of child detention is before it’s barbaric, and you responded by insulting my mother? is that rational?

Do you really want to go there?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
