Lately whenever I enter, or leave a business, I push the door open with my foot. I always have a few paper towels in my pocket if I need to pull. GARY.

Here we go:

"Gov. DeSantis declares public health emergency after 2 Bay Area individuals test positive for coronavirus"

"TAMPA, Fla. - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a public health emergency Sunday evening after two people, one in Manatee County and one in Hillsborough County, tested presumptively positive for COVID-19, the novel coronavirus."

Flu doesn't have a 6.7% death rate. (deaths/recovered), not (deaths/confirmed cases):

This is kind of funny.

"They" say that disposable masks are useless and do nothing to stop the virus, but in every picture I've seen, the people in them are ALL wearing disposable masks! :lol:

I mean if you believe a Twitter post that is your first mistake the flu killed more so far.
Total report case: 1701 = 1577 active + 124 closes case
124 is 7,29% of total reported case
41 is 33% of closed cases or 2.41 of total reported = Death rate of closed case so FAR and not total case
At this point we don’t know; too many unknown
Your math is misleading & dishonest

It won't. Healthcare here is a lot better than rural China.
Just as we were all going to die of ebloa, which was never, ever, going to be as bad here at Africa, basically because we don't just throw the dead out in front of out house.
As in the plague scene from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”: “Bring out your dead, bring out your dead.”
A preview of Universal Healthcare, if Sanders and his merry band of idiots have their way.
