Truth of the matter is that Socialist countries have the happiest people in the world for eg. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada etc. We have been plagued with the highest crime, incarcerations, suicides, depression and etc. in the good name of unequal capitalism. It’s time for a good change don’t you think so? The green deal would be great for the environment.

The problem is that the Nordic model does not scale up. It works really well in countries with around 6 million people. But you can't increase the scale of that model by a factor of 50 and expect same results.

Only 2000 folks in the USA have been tested. Unfortunately, I don’t think this will be like the flu. If you apply the Dos Equis 19 fatality (estimated) rate to influenza, the numbers are staggering. Hopefully the worst case scenarios do not take place.
I heard a report (looking for a source) that Chinese crematories are stacking up bodies.

Because we all know that the New York Slimes is a beacon of unbiased opinion! Give me a break! Comparing this “epidemic” to the terrorist attacks of September 11th is irresponsible at best. It’s a flu virus for God’s sake, trust me you’re gonna live!! We didn’t have this much panic over Ebola, and that was basically a death sentence with you bleeding out of every orifice!! Calm the **** down people!!

Guys,
Enough with the Politics. I cleaned up a few posts trying to get the thread somewhat on topic but not sure that the Mods can keep up. If you do not want the thread closed knock off the political discussion.
Thanks Scoop
