Can I get a Lyme disease with my Corona virus?
Laughter is good for us.
…12 hours after the Lyme and Corona…
Or 30 seconds after Spam and Hamms.
Corona Virus won’t last because it was made in China!!
This corona didn’t last long either.

That could be a mandatory vaccine.
Seriously though.. if someone of a liberal mind could tell me what a “lying dog faced pony soldier” is, that would be great. I have no idea.

“There’s a line in a movie, a John Wayne movie, where the Indian chief turns to John Wayne and says, this is a lying dog-faced pony soldier,” Biden said.
It’s not clear if this line actually shows up in any John Wayne movie — as Matthew Dessem points out at Slate, there are 180 to sift through. The general consensus seems to be that Biden is probably thinking of the 1952 Tyrone Power film Pony Soldier, in which a character says, “The pony soldier speaks with a tongue of the snake that rattles.”

In 2018, nearly 1 million people were hospitalized in the US for the flu. Over 80,000 died. Games weren’t canceled. Festivals thrived. Concerts weren’t shut down. Flights continued on as originally scheduled. Business as usual despite 80,000 dead. Why then are we closing down society in response to 22 deaths? Why the madness? Why the total hysteria?
It may be because the mainstream media is quite sure that fear sells. Facts be damned. Every year during hurricane season The Weather Channel puts a 23 year old kid in an oversized rain slicker on the beach in the rain and wind to breathlessly report how Hurricane “Fill in the Name” may potentially be the worst hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Christopher Columbus arrived. The storm eventually peters out but not until after millions of fear-filled viewers have tuned in endlessly (and cleared the local grocery stores of water and canned goods). Fear does sell.
News media is taking the sale of fear to a new low with the coronavirus. The CDC told us that 49 million Americans were sick with the flu in 2018. That same CDC tells us only 566 are sick with coronavirus now, nearly all of whom are high risk, frail individuals. Do we find CNN and other mainstream media reassuring us with that context? Of course not.
Instead they are reporting on new modeling from The Australian National University looking at seven scenarios of how the outbreak might affect the world’s healthy and wealth. In the hastily assembled study’s best case scenario the death toll is 15 million people and the global GDP loss will exceed $2.4 trillion U.S. dollars. That is the best case scenario. It gets much worse from there. The modeling is suspect, the assumptions grotesque and the science nearly non-existent, but that hasn’t stopped major news outlets from repeating the absurd conclusions. Fear sells.
Just seen this from a colleague off of facebook
From the morbid Humor/ poor taste Dept.
12 people have died from COVID19
Well,
Jeffrey Dahmer ate more than that.

Went to see my PA this afternoon we spoke about hysteria.
Her comment was;
If I had never been exposed to the measles before and an infected person (doesn’t even have to be showing signs of it)walks into the room, that infects me on a scale of 1 to 10 an 8.
If under the same scenario the same thing happens except it is the flu, then a 2.
And same scenario if it is the coronavirus a 4.
Seems there is a lot of hype but still it is a real thing.
And in the news just now,
“To prevent the spread of COVID-19, cities across the U.S. are trying to “flatten the curve.”
This is the goal of social distancing and other measures, such as canceling larger events and calling off in-person classes at universities in favor of online learning.”
This may lessen the possible growth of the virus during the time of year that elevates its growth.
Maybe?
