    1) This is a second group of deaths piled on top of the standard flu.
    2) It requires hospitalization more often than the flu.

    Nowhere near as harmful as the flu? You are a fucking idiot.

    Of the 20 counties with the most cases of this virus, exactly one voted for the Denier in Chief: Suffolk County on Long Island.
    In those 20 counties, Clinton defeated Trump 11.4 million votes to 3.8 million.

    There are 100 counties with 20 or more cases. Of them, Trump won 14.

    There are roughly 800 counties with any cases. Clinton beat Trump 54 million votes to 43 million in them. In other words, Trump won the currently unaffected counties by 8 million votes.

    This explains why he was so dismissive of the initial question about what he would say to those who fear this virus. He wants those people dead.

    There was a brief moment earlier this week when he appeared to have a semblance of empathy. Then polls came out indicating his klan hadn't abandoned him in the least. His response was what he saw today.

    "The number of infected is doubling every three days" is not advanced math. It's doubling twice a week.

    You might as well ask what Dak Prescott's completion percentage was. I don't care what the flu did, I care about what C-19 is going to do.

    3) You recover from it more slowly than the flu. Covid patients occupy beds longer.

    I like Armchair QB better than Armchair Virologist.

    Listen to the experts. Ignore Google PhDs.

    Or the ever-popular "Just a heads up -- I spotted an African-American gentleman walking past my house..." as if using "African-American gentleman" makes the rest of the post less racist.

    You are a moron. This disease is more harmful than the flu. Nobody with a clue is arguing the measures being taken to slow the spread of the disease. The work is all oner this thread, this message board and pretty much anywhere else you can look. Your willful ignorance just demonstrates once again that you are an idiot.

    The first case in the U.S. was in January, not December. Acting like an ignorant toddler won’t make it go away, so you should stop. President Trump already tried.
