@CuriousFury Its true that it is very fast-moving. But it is not proven more dangerous than the common flu yet. Some are claiming it is, but they ALL admit to being unable to quantify one variable needed to make that calculation: The number of asymptomatic infections. Some theorize that it is so large that the virus is no more dangerous than the common flu. We can't know yet either way. We will very soon. Plan on getting it, and plan on surviving it. Most of us will never know we had it.

@GaryWitt. The Cultural Revolution was a purge of the resistance to a nascent revolution - a very small minority at the time, to keep from losing the initiative. The resistance in Hong Kong and Shanghai are almost minuscule by comparison, and in the past the government has done well to simply ignore them, eventually using subversive means to cripple them from the inside, using the immense police force. There would be no need for Xi to take such a heavy-handed approach at the expense of the general population.

They always have to invoke some exception, and fail to notice exactly the same argument throughout history.

This is a very fast bug. Too fast for all but the most prepared societies. So almost everyone will be exposed. That's not the problem. Most of us will recover just fine. It may be more dangerous than the flu, but we still don't know by how much. Maybe not much at all. We'll know very soon. The real danger is the hysteria that the media has created in absence of good information, and the political opportunists that will try to advance the agenda no one will put up with normally.

Voting Libertarian instead of Democrat is not a throw-away vote, because some people have been brainwashed for their lifetime against Republicans and never will.

The first case was reported in Wuhan 17 November. A physician who was among the first casualties, left a letter in which he claimed that the virus had been mishandled in a military virology lab in Wuhan. Reports shortly before that had criticized a research lab in Canada for insufficient adherence to protocols after several Chinese nationals working in the lab left for China about the same time. The lab was studying a dangerous virus taken from a corpse in Europe. There seem to be those who are more concerned with using this for political purposes than concern for people.

TimTuolomne replies on Mar 15, 2020:

@iThink All due respect sir, the Constitution is not as written. The Commerce Clause was the first casualty in 1942. That gave Congress the right to tell farmers what to grow or not grow. As I'm sure you will agree, that is TOTALLY against the Framer's purposes stated in the Declaration and Bill of Rights. That was done illegally by FDR threatening to remove all 9 justices from the Supreme Court if they did not vote to vacate the Commerce Clause, which they did in Wickard v. Filburn, explicitly against the separation of powers written into the Constitution. ("A stitch in time saves nine" is an expression from that event.) That was the beginning of dozens of decisions removing the protection of our rights under the Constitution, culminating in Obamacare, which is also unconstitutional, which gives the FDA sweeping bureaucratic power over all Americans, as many have found out, with absolutely no recourse. Stalin would have been impressed. And as the Constitution was also written in Article I, Section 3, the Senate was created as appointed by the States, and independent of the House, so it would be a slower-moving more conservative body to balance the flash-in-the-pan volatility of the voter-driven House. One weakness of pure Democracy is that actual mob rule is not productive. In ancient Greece, the legislature actually sank two Greek ships battling each other because each had orders issued different days that were in direct conflict. We have a form of it today in the 27 thousand federal regulations created by endless pandering to the latest voter fad. A Stable Senate would tend to moderate that. The 17th Amendment made Senators different only by tradition from House Reps. Voters always complain that the US government is unresponsive. It was designed that way by the Framers to slow down the process and prevent bad decisions. “Gridlock is not a bug to be fixed, but a calculated feature of our Constitutional framework.” - Justice Antonin Scalia. If you were a voter in 1800, and transported to the country today, you would think our Constitution had been completely abandoned for socialism. Even voters who remember what it was like are like the frog slowly boiled, that fails to notice. Now most people actually think the government is the answer to everything. In the days of King George, that thought would be heresy in the 13 Colonies. And yes, that is as relevant today as it was then.

@Jurecki. Agreed. From most of his public statements - particularly those in my fields of expertise, he has shown almost no understanding of the governing principles. For example, no intelligent person will build electric cars until there is a significant advance in batteries, except some personality like P.T. Barnum. There has not been a significant increase in charge density in 50 years, in spite of hundreds of billions of dollars of investment; aside from photoelectrics, the worst investment in history.

I'm of the opinion Scotty, that repeal of the 17th amendment might also help.

Today the Senate is only different by tradition, and rapidly losing that distinction. What do you think?

@ProfBob, if you bother to look into Snopes and Factcheck, one or both are associated with George Soros. Factcheck may not be, however I have found primary sources of information that prove Factcheck to be wrong on several claims. I do not recognize either as a valid source of confirmation. It is my further opinion that Factcheck is merely a tool of censorship of center-conservative points of view. And if you have studied Roosevelt, you know that he was conservative at first and later became a progressive. We don't get to pick the statements he made that only support the version of him we like best.

Coronavirus - Perspective.

Yup. Flu kills 30,000 each year, but no one is hoarding toilet paper because of the flu. If I have it right, there are still less than 1000 deaths from COVID-19. Horrific to be sure, but where’s the perspective?

TimTuolomne replies on Mar 12, 2020:

@Spetsnasty. No way of knowing, however the current mortality rate based on your numbers is 3.4%. The Spanish Flu may have had as high as a 20% mortality, and it still disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared; perhaps mutating to a less dangerous strain in under a year. Will COVID-19 follow the same course? It's already less of a threat. Could it mutate into something worse? Sure. Will it mutate into something insignificant? Possibly.

And when you're faced with the flesh and bone of someone who you might think represents it and you get to know them, I bet you decide they're an "exception." Generalizations based on concepts, not reality, are useless. Marxism, for example, is full of them, and its "logic" is completely circular. Our Constitution is based on justice for the individual, and is based on the main truism that you can't fairly judge by group. Talk about what an individual did and then you're talking about reality.

Any idea that attempts to COMPENSATE for perceived inequities in society ALWAYS have the effect of taking away the rights of everyone else.
