Anybody around the country seeing sports shows being cancelled because of Corona

[Frank A]

Nobody could have stopped this and to say they could have is assanine. No country in the world has stopped it and will not This thing has to run it's coarse and then it will subside. All you geniuses who think any person could have stopped this is a nut case. Blaming the President is just plain Stupid.

South Korea and China actually have stopped it by taking aggressive measures to do so. Just taking a “let it run its course” approach is a recipe for disaster.

CNN accusing "someone" of being racist and a xenophobe for calling the Coronovirus the Wuhan virus or the China Virus. Is CNN really this dumb where they, themselves, forgot what they also called it?

China is full of shit. Trusting China is a disaster waiting to happen.

Getting back to the original question, they cancelled the card show in Nashville today and canceled the big 3 day show in Chicago also this weekend.

Agreed. But we don’t need to trust the Chinese government. A few weeks ago their caseload was growing at an exponential rate. They would be dealing with millions of cases by now if they didn’t get it under control, way too many for them to cover up.

So while I don’t trust the Chinese government, I do believe that the situation is under control there just based on the evidence we can see.

Also South Korea, a democratic country I have been to many times, has also brought it under control and I generally to have a lot of confidence in what its government is saying.

Not sure why so many have to go off topic on a regular basis? Isn't that what the watercooler section is for?

To respond to the OP, the April 17-19 Shriners show in Wilmington MA has be canceled.

I wouldn't be so quick to applaud China & Italy.

First of all, China began the cover-up of this virus in December. Numbers didn't start coming out until January, and even then & now, there is plenty of skepticism when it comes to the numbers released vs. reality. I have plenty of doubts on how much that situation is actually "clearing up" and even more doubts about the origins of the virus and China's intentions.

Second of all, Italy didn't close down Chinese travel until it was too late. They have 16 million people under quarantine, and are leaving infected, dead corpses in the homes because they aren't collecting them fast enough or at all for a certain period of time. They are even considering not caring for the elderly.[/QUOTE]


Yes, think about this for all the conspiracy folks or those who think China is our friend:

Where exactly did the virus come from? A Chinese Bio-weapons facility? Maybe someone goofed up and dropped a vial or two and it proliferated from there? Or people were purposely infected?

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...gram-possible/

Or was this a clever bio-weapon test run by the Chinese to test the effectiveness of the virus (it does mutate) and also gauge the world's response to its spread?

Also to guage the resulting economic impact on the world?
China does own a huge amount of US Treasury debt.... and exports plenty of pharmaceuticals and medical components to the USA...

World War 3 without the destruction???

Food for thought...

I was the OP on this asking about any shows that might have been cancelled because of Corona and after a few days turns to this political bullshit. Can't believe how one question turns so upside down. My original question had no political question so how it got so far off is asinine. Just my 2 cents. Time to end this post.

All this mass hysteria is media created. Everyone at CNN, FOX etc., need to stop stoking the fire.

It's a Flu people.....there is the flu every year.

Read this article from 2018:

https://www.statnews.com/2018/09/26/...deaths-winter/

80,000 died that winter of the FLU in the US (WINTER 2017-2018). WHY WASN'T THERE MASS HYSTERIA THEN??? The media was too busy going after Trump, now they get some downtime after the impeachment, lets stoke the fire. Up go the ratings.

This year 58 !!!!!!!! have died from Corona. 58 in the US.

Basically an average of 1 person per state. We have 327 million in the US. 58 have died....a mass shooting could have more then that.

This is the biggest overblown thing I've ever seen. 58 people dead. Even if that goes to 5-10,000, that ain't 80,000.

3000 people have the Corona virus, probably more, ok fine, shit 3,000 people have a flu virus in Chicago alone any given winter month on any given year.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Also. in the article flu peaks in Feb and dies down end of March. Same thing will happen here, ok maybe delayed a little and this one is about to peak in March and dies out a week or 2 into April.


China where it started, where it was the worst, 3200 have died.......1.38 billion people live there, that's seriously a drop in the bucket. And just like the 2018 article China peaked in Feb and now its dying out in March like clockwork.....see the opening of all Apple stores in China, Shit I can name 20 diseases that take out more then 3,000 a year. just amazing how this has been hyped........maybe it wasn't CNN and Fox but Proctor & Gamble behind this, they are wiping their asses to the bank...haha!!!


The pussification of America!


PLAY BALL!!!!!!

Now who can argue with genuine American gibberish like that? Just a thought, but perhaps the next time you decide to attack people for being stupid or sarcastically call them geniuses for not agreeing with you or your beloved fearless leader, maybe get someone who can read and write at better than a 9th grade remedial level to proof the post for you. The words you are searching for are "asinine", "its", and "course". The next to last sentence should read: "All you geniuses who think any person could have stopped this are nut cases."

Just to be sure you don't think I am criticizing the way you expressed yourself rather than the content of your statement, I have carefully considered your brilliant defense of the regime's incompetent, late and grudging response to the pandemic and can think of only one response that seems appropriate: nuts!

I don't remember if it was a book or a movie where Howard Hughes locked himself inside an apartment and didn't leave for months. He had boxes and boxes of tissues and would not touch anything with his hands. He closed the blinds and watched movies all day.

I remember thinking it was weird that my grandfather didn't know who the Beatles were, now I totally understand. Back to the movies... At least we can still buy cards online. I'm not planning on attending any shows any time soon...Rob

There aren't many shows in my neck of the woods, so I can't miss what I never had.

The Aviator. Also features best depiction of a plane crash on film IMO
