    Probably, but flu is a lot more studied than this new virus. That quote you posted lists the mortality rate for flu as 1% while the CDC says it’s.1% in the US.

    Secretary of Defense Esper has ordered the heads of the armed services, trying to plan to keep troops safe, not to make public statements that contradict anything Trump says. Dr. Fauci is trying to walk a tightrope of telling the truth and not going to war with Trump. Because Trump's ego is so much more important than the nation's health and safety.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That's ridiculous, MARIS.

    You know as well as I do that blue states bus their homeless population to the polls to vote Democrat in exchange for a night of food and shelter. Also, the Deep State needs Iran's government alive in order to hand US sovereignty over to Iran in the guise of "nuclear deals."

    I'm surprised at you forgetting simple, obvious, well-researched facts like these. Have you not been checking Judicial Watch and FOX News lately?

    So... My mom last night tells me she was at a friend of her's house who is a Doctor. The Doctor thought her patient had Corona Virus and they called the CDC, who basically told her oh don't worry about it send her home, it's probably just the flu. My mom was like "Oh this means they know the coronavirus isn't a big deal", and everyone's just making a bigger deal out of it then they need too.

    I, on the other hand, was like what the heck, a DOCTOR thinks someone has a virus and the government won't even send a test kit or check it out...

    Mike Pence is now claiming that any American can now be tested...I shit you not...He's just as clueless and delusional as Trump.

    I believe that you're omitting his qualifier, "if a doctor deems it necessary."

    However, given the relative scarcity of testing kits, I'd say that there's a fair bit of smoke in that statement.

    They say a dog's mouth is a pretty dirty place (after all, they lick butts regularly), so I'd recommend frequent spray applications.

    No, I'm referring to the actual time necessary for testing, the actual time necessary for getting the results, and the actual number of testing kits available.

    Trump and his hand puppet have dropped the ball on this...they should have taken action weeks ago.

    Yesterday wife and I took a drive and at stop light this gal and her baby were in the cross walk, she had a Commercial respirator on! Nothing on the toddler in the stroller.
    Maybe she had a health reason to be wearing it?

    So far, Covid-19 hasn't been hitting children particularly hard. The older you are, the worse it is.

    Also, the older and the more pulmonary problems you have the worse your odds are. This spells real trouble for me.
