People should only listen to the news that comes out of the White House, via Twitter and Facebook, in order to not fall for the hoax called "coronavirus". That seems to be their message?

Mick Mulvaney Goes Nuts at CPAC and Accuses Media of Hyping Coronavirus to Bring Down Trump: Thats What Its All About
<snip>
White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday that the media is only covering the spread of coronavirus because its out to get President Donald Trump.
According to the New York Times Annie Karni, Mulvaney accused the American media of using coronavirus as a political weapon, despite the fact that concerns about the virus led Japan to shut down its schools for at least a month.
They think this will bring down the president, Mulvaney said. Thats what its all about.
He then downplayed the health risks to Americans who contract the virus by arguing that the virus wont kill everyone who contracts it.
Its not a death sentence, he said. Its not the same as the Ebola crisis.

(9,090 posts)limbaugh is a genius at denial, rationalization, and lying, but ignorant as shit, denies science, and never leaves the bubble of mansion, limo, studio, private jet, mara lago even though he daily claims to know what the little guy wants. he tells them what they want and they believe it because it comes with psycho sex-on-the-wrong-brain levels of certitude and is repeated obver and over without challenge and they can't get easy free alternatives. they all ride the limbo bandwagon, rechewing the daily smorgasbord of lies and stupid and hate. that's worked for republican dittoheads. and trump sits right behind the driver.
they've been getting dumber and dumber for the last 30 years, but the reign of limbaugh may be over soon if he starts croaking from his cancer

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

(52 posts)This morning i had to go in to my Dr`s office for a routine blood draw.
I wore an N95 mask because number 1 the flu is going around and number 2 since the CDC either cant or wont test people at large for the Corona we dont know how wide spread it is at this time.
An older woman in her 60`s actually said to me i was trying to make Trump look bad!
I said Really!!! his base is mostly made up of older people "i`m 60" and statistics show that's who is dying the most from this so arent you the lest bit concerned they seem to be worried about their portfolio`s rather than if me or you die?
Nothing further was said.

(9,426 posts)for this virus is quite lengthy. I wonder what will happen if many of the attendees at this meeting of the (lost) minds come down with it once they return home? Little Mick will be in the WH, spreading this like bedbugs at Doral. I thought the rumor was his days were numbered after admitting the quid pro quo? Must be having trouble finding anyone dumb enough to take the job.

(16,254 posts)being elderly and with health issues. However, I do think Trump and his administration could use a little humbling so they know how the rest of us feel about this horrible fiasco. They should have started preparing the day after China realized what was going on.
That said, it wouldn't hurt them to suffer a few days with the virus and might benefit America by their attitude change. That will come after suffering, as I imagine most are pretty spoiled when it comes to human suffering. A little taste will help them become human.
Just sayin'.

(152,965 posts)toughen up, Frustratedlady - don't fear the virus: take precautions but also tell yourself, the majority of people DO survive this virus, and so can you........I think a good kick ass attitude helps when battling illness, yes indeed
and you SOOO right about Trump INC - all they are doing is trying to limit their culpability - they don't seem to get that the more they act like this, the more people lose confidence in them.....not that we smart Dems EVER had confidence in the orange ass clown and his bootlickers
Frustratedlady
(16,254 posts)I don't expect an easy time of it if I do catch it. It's bad enough to be stuck with Trump in office, but if he is the one to cancel out my vote by virus, I'll be very pissed.
I am loaded for bear with disinfectants and groceries. As of yesterday, I am confining myself to home until we figure out WTH is going on. Obviously, we can't trust anything coming out of the White House.
Take care of yourself, too.

(16,133 posts)this a.m. I learned that China has had only 48 cases of the virus and it's due to the diet of rats, bats, dogs, cats, centipedes, spiders, and a bunch of other stuff we don't eat.
I also learned that Canadian hog farms have inspections and that's why the pork from there is so expensive. If meat processors were allowed to do away with those inspections our grocery bills would be a lot lower,
Finally, the final piece of education I got was that the young people want to turn the United by gaud States of America into socialists and get all this free stuff, like education and healthcare.
thankfully, the line for lottery tickets cleared out and the gentleman that informed me of all this bought his ticket and walked away.
I was speechless, well more like, I couldn't get a word in edgewise cause rimballs had set this guy straight and he wasn't going to hear any librul nonsense.
I left the store feeling the need to wash my hands for 20 minutes and buy stock in the clorox company who's stock had gone up $5.00 a share in the past 3 days according to him.
