I suppose we should just let nature take its course . . .

There was nothing 'sarcastic' about what the president said.

I know.

Which makes me wonder why he insisted he was being sarcastic.

There is some hope now with a drug called remdesivir.

And I think a private company is in charge of that.

But the FDA need to do their trials.

People can always find something as a point of comparison as if that automatically adds weight to what they are implying.

I know.

All the times I've seen people insist that because x amount die from heart disease or road accidents, that means this virus should not be taken seriously.

I absolutely agree.

If people are so stupid that they genuinely believe drinking bleach is a cure, then that's natural selection.

Of course - the Hong Kong Flu - I'd forgotten about that one.  More than 100,000 Americans died from that.  I wonder Y CNN/MSNBC haven't mentioned that.  It doesn't fit their respective agendas I'm guessing. 

OPEN UP AMERICA!

The president was caught 'red-handed' and blurted out 'sarcastic' without knowing what the word meant.  A verbal mis-step.  Nothing to write home about actually.  Many of our presidents have made similar gaffes...both George H.W. and G.W. Bush R standouts IMO.  Eisenhower also to a lesser degree.  FDR and REAGAN and even OBAMA were good communicators.

Actually it's true that coronavirus like all its predecessors SHOULDN'T B taken SO seriously as to cripple Life as we know it.  Viruses historically run their course.  I have not yet found evidence that ANY nation in the entire world has ever 'shut down' until now.  Is that perhaps a sign that the world today is suffering from Communication Overload?  The Ancients continued fighting their wars.  The Traders continued traveling - both spreading the viruses of the day.  Many died.  Most lived.  Reality.
