If I had meant that I would have said that, what is the fascination some people have with putting words in other people's mouths.
I am a realist. I know what the government can control and what it can't. despite what liberals tell you, the government can't control a virus that has gone world wide before being properly identified.
Rather than answer a question with a question, how about actually answering it.

I agree that this virus can't be controlled. I think they are just prolonging the inevitable.
I am on the fence about how it is being controlled by our government.
But I am getting concerned about this virus. The numbers are going up so quickly and the numbers they are forecasting is a bit scary. And guaranteed there are are a lot more people infected that they know about.
And for record I'm from Canada so I'm not going to get into an American politics debate. I'm following what the Trump administration is doing. I don't care what the opposition says.

This distancing is "slowing" the spread, not stopping it. It's far too contagious to be "stopped".. Need to balance when the fear of going bankrupt (and living free) overrides the fear of getting sick. For a lot of people, that balance is starting to tilt toward just risking the sick and getting it over with. 2 weeks sounded reasonable.. 2 months? Then what, 4 months? 6? A year? Longer?? Gotta return to living and let it run it's course at some point..

Well when I asked if anyone was taking this virus serious. Your answer was no.
Did I misinterpret the meaning of no?

Wonder what CNN say now. . .
Frado has Covid 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The same people that are at risk of serious complications with the flu are the same people that are at serious risk with the wuhan flu. In all aspects this appears to be just another strain of flu.
Multi millions have likely had it and not known it, multi millions have had it and shown no more symptoms than a common cold, multi millions have had it and thought was just the regular flu. With North America suddenly being able to test multi millions for this specific virus is it any wonder there are suddenly thousands of more cases?
So far in North America the survival rate exceeds %98 with no more lasting effects than the normal flu.
So far the wuhan flu is very very slow to mutate, which means it's very easy for the general population to develop a resistance to it. The only way to do that is to be exposed, either by getting the flu or by getting a vaccine. Having a vaccine ready for the approximately 340,000,000 Americans isn't going to happen any time soon. It usually takes six months to grow half that.
the most recent numbers from Johns Hopkins(updated daily):
Infections:
wuhan flu:
worldwide: 1,131,713
U.S.: 278,458
regular flu:
worldwide: est. 1,000,000,000
U.S.: 10M to 45M per year
Deaths:
wuhan flu:
worldwide: 59,884*
U.S.: 7,159
regular flu:
worldwide: 300,000-650,000 anually
U.S.: 12,000-61,000 anually
* China still claims about 3500 dead in the hubei provence which we all know is a lie
based on those numbers, which one is the pandemic??? Yet if you listen to the democrat run(provable fact) press that hates the trump adminstation, we are all going to die in a couple days from the wuhan flu if we so much as stand within 2 feet of another person. This same press has been using the model for infections and deaths developed by scientist Neil Furguson. His model has been proven to be well overstated, i.e. wrong. He's already been forced to lower his death prediction in England from 500,000 to 20,000. That's a hell of an adjustment, and still very likely to be high.
A couple years ago I told my doctor why I don't get a flu vaccine, she had no response. Am I concerned about the wuhan flu? Yes, but no more that the regular flu.
and saying no is not the same as wishing for it to happen
I'm beginning to suspect something
