From the Lefts leading Newspaper. NYT.


On Tuesday, Feb. 18, no coronavirus cases had been reported in Iran. On Sunday, the government announced 43 cases and eight deaths. Some 152 cases (and at least three deaths) were confirmed in Italy on Sunday, up from three cases on Thursday. The number of infected people in South Korea jumped to 763 (and six deaths) in just days.

As of Monday, Covid-19 was detected in at least 29 countries. In nations with few or no reported cases so far, particularly in South America and Africa, the absence of evidence shouldn’t be interpreted as evidence of absence. More likely, it reflects lack of testing.

Is the Covid-19 outbreak now a pandemic, whether or not the World Health Organization calls it that yet?

If so, what’s next?

Other countries have done major lockdowns of towns and regions with only a couple hundred cases. The US will have to decide if they want buck that trend and not do as other nations have done or do we go with lockdowns and slow our economy.

The reports out of Qom are true then that's almost a 20% fatality rate for them?

Yea its hard to measure. QOM is through the roof. Then South Korea is way lower.

You have to take in account SK has a better Health system, able to handle,manage the number who are sick. Think big problem in china is their system just got steamrolled by the supply side not being able to handle the demand. Lord only knows in North Korea how bad this will end up being. Same for a lot of African nations if , when this gets around on that continent.
 
110,000 in India to see our President. They were playing Macho Man in the stadium..that is funny.
 
I usually stay out of here but for a change, I'll offer something up...

As slim as it is anyway, if the track that leads to Bernie winning the nomination continues and he does win it, he has about 0 chance of actually winning the election unless a recession occurs, and nobody is projecting one (and no, fears over the coronavirus isn't an actual recession). He would be an awful nominee.

And so far, to give me away, I don't vote Republican but in this case if we do go on this track, I'd have to give some major thought to going independent, several others probably would too, and this is exactly why a Bernie nomination would lead to Trump winning reelection in a landslide.

The fact that Bernie Sanders is doing this well tells me everything I need to know. The Democrat party is in shambles. Its so bad a SOCIALIST is garnering the most attention. If I were the other candidates I would be embarrassed that I couldnt beat him out. Sure he has a fringe of downtrodden lunatic followers who cant seem to move forward in life but even the average American is not going to accept socialism no matter what flavor he calls it. Trumps base will show up in droves and he will gain more support from the black vote. Whats going to happen is disinterested Democrats who KNOW the economy is helping them will hold their nose and vote for Trump or stay home. If Bernie wins the nomination it will be a slaughter across the board for the GOP. The Democrat party knows this

Trump rallies are free here so I doubt he would go to India for peace and other talks and charge the people. The purpose is peace, central banking etc so I can't see him charging the people. If he did and that dang many came then that's even more crazy. They were definitely having a good time dancing and all. Pretty funny actually.

None of these trumpers realize he still doesnt care about them.

The only thing Trumpers care about are results. And he is delivering big time by renegotiating harmful trade deals, creating jobs by lowering businees taxes,appointing judges who dont legislate from the bench, lowering taxes on working class, securing borders, making sure our molitary is strong, speaking out against late term and post birth abortion etc, list goes on an on. He governs/does what he promised to do. None of this election ear tickeling that the establishment cycled at us every 4 years. All I care about are people doing what they say they are gonna do. So refreshing after the Bushes,Romney,Mccain, Ryan, kasichs hijacking the Republican party and kicking conservatism to the curb, so they could be moderate and adorned by the main stream media. It amazes me how anti Trumpers still dont get it after 3 years. So glad we have someone who stands up against the socialist,progressive,globalist Democratic party .

?PREACH???
 
Bernie is such a joke I hope hes the nominee(I mean I'm no longer sure he can be stopped, the opposition is too fractured) but praising Castro really??? I mean even Democrats are upset about that one. For a party that talks about diversity the frontrunners are almost 80 year old white dudes... its really sad lol

Get ready for more meltdowns. What a time to be alive lol

Actually I've been lurking around a Democratic board and they have already been melting down

They will eat their own. They already are. ??
 
I think this guy is from CNN. Can't remember his name but said Trump was the fattest President ever. Fattest? Really? For one thing, I thought it was not nice to fat shame people (liberals pushed that). 2- Can we even say fat anymore? 3- Fattest or most fat? 4-He's not even fat.

I guess anything is on the table now. Panic and desperation. Digging themselves into a hole so deep, they will never recover. When Trump is gone, what will they have left? Notta I predict. What will they talk about? If it weren't for the huge contracts they have in airports etc, they would already be done. What a shame. Anyone knowingly pushing the lies and false narratives are going to pay the price. As they should. Very dangerous. RIP MSM.

What's truly unbelievable is here we are in the USA on the verge of nominating a Socialist.... a Socialist as one of the main parties presidential nominee.

This is what happens when there is little presence in the middle. Both sides go far from center and these pathetic candidates are what we get to pick from. What's better a turd sandwich or a giant douche?
