"SNIP.....

Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed on his show Monday that the potentially lethal coronavirus afflicting several countries is nothing more than a “common cold” blown out of proportion by the media to take down President Donald Trump ― even as he also asserted it was a “bioweapon” created by China in a laboratory.

“It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump,” Limbaugh said at the start of his lengthy, misinformation-filled rant.

“Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus. ... I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks.”

....

“The drive-by media hype of this thing as a pandemic, as the Andromeda strain, as, ‘Oh, my God. If you get it, you’re dead...’ I think the survival rate is 98%,” he said. “Ninety-eight percent of people who get the coronavirus survive. It’s a respiratory system virus.”

......SNIP"

1. Bet that is one arm of the Trump strayegy to stop the spread of deadly liberalism.

Because that is the real concern. What if the public learnt coronavirus was the result of unregulated food markets? That would be even worse. so there are two separate conspiracy theories. A double 'narrative'. More like a pretzel.

5. Die already, asshole

[RockRaven]

6. Sounds like a certain person with cancer should put his money where his mouth is and go get infected

with it himself and see what happens. What could go wrong?

[Orrex]

7. Why hasn't that evil motherfucker died yet?

I've been wishing for his 6-months terminal cancer diagnosis for close to 30 years, and I'm frankly getting impatient.


To all you lurkers from the various conservative shithole forums who are upset that I've wished cancer upon your demigod: fuck each and every last one of you.

[bdamomma]

8. Rush

there's a hot place waiting for you. Jerk.

[Midnight Writer]

9. Did anyone believe that Rush wouldn't take out as many as he can before he goes?

[gembaby1]

10. Well, that will be one less idiot on the planet 🌎

As soon as cancerman is dead 💀!

11. You can't make this shit up.

The hilarious thing is the mouth breathers believe it.

[Hassler]

12. I thought druggie Limbaugh was dying of cancer?

How can we miss him if he just won't leave?

[Judi Lynn]

23. I yearn to say terrible things about him when he's gone.n/t

[edbermac]

13. I really don't wish cancer on anyone.

But then Rush opens his mouth and any shred of sympathy I have just vanishes.

[liberaltrucker]

14. Hey cancer, WTF are you waiting for??

[orleans]

15. i didn't realize he was still alive n/t

[Tucker08087]

17. Is he not on chemo for his cancer?

As a chemo patient myself, I had to leave my teaching career because I almost died from things like the common cold and stomach bugs. Viruses are the worst with chemo. There are no treatments. Antibiotics don’t work. Only your immune system can help you recover. When you are a chemo patient, you are purposely killing your immune system. Your white count numbers should be between 10-12. Mine are commonly around 1, but have been as low as .02 and the common cold absolutely kills people in that condition.
And, no, of course this is not the common cold. Spreading disinformation in this way is dangerous. People will not take their symptoms seriously, avoid seeking medical attention, and spread the virus to those of us who are at risk, including people with chronic illness, babies, and the elderly.

18. It's what they did with Ebola in 2014

We had the trolls posting Ebola scare stories every day leading up to the 2014 election, and they constantly tried to tie it to Obama.

[raccoon]

19. Who gives a toot what that POS thinks ? Nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. Well, knowing Rush's stellar track record on health matters...

...he’ll be dead of Coronavirus within a month.

On the plus side, at least he will have beaten cancer. Go Rush!

21. I want the next Democratic President to rescind this asspickles Medal of Freedom

I want pay-per-view as his urine soaked grave is dug up and the medal is torn from his rotting corpse.

Then I want to inject cancer back into his rotting corpse, bury it with 7 tons of amphibian shit and then salt the ground around it.

Then, I want the medal to be shot directly into the sun.

After that, we will have to close the chapter on this award and come up with something new.

[Judi Lynn]

24. Magnificent! Better than he even deserves. Bravo. n/t

[Norbert]

22. Maybe we shuold get former KY Governor Matt Bevin

to infect his kids with the Coronavirus so he can show the world how benign this virus is.

[Demonaut]

25. "I'm dead right on this"...but not soon enough

[TwilightZone]

26. Social media is loaded with idiots who think it's the same virus that causes the cold.

Why am I not surprised that he's one of the sources?
