A) They have, they're positive, and they don't want to disclose it.

B) Because they're complete morons who want to continue to keep their heads buried in the sand on this.

Pick one.

I didn’t watch his little speech last night but I heard he didn’t look healthy

They are both the President and Vice President of THE US of A. If you think for one second they haven’t been tested or monitored 24/7 you have your head in the sand.

This is Donald Trump you're talking about. If he'd been tested and it came back negative he'd be spiking the football all over the media and twitter about it.

I don’t think they’ve been tested. Do you have anything to suggest otherwise?

It’s common sense man. Why wouldn’t he be? I’m talking in pure non partisan manner. This is the President (regardless of whoever it is) he has a doctor follow him around 24/7.

Here food for thought.

In 2009 the Swine flu hit the USA. On Nov 12th 2009, CDC reported 22 million Americans were infected with the virus, while 4,000 had died.

where was the panic then? Did NCAA shut down? Then NHL, NBA shut down? Did school close? Did functions of society close down? Hell I don’t remember. So...why is everyone frecking out now?

I can’t remember either but If 22m Americans get corona virus 200,000-600,000 people will die.

People who continue to parrot this idea clearly don't understand how math works.

I just don't get it--we have access to 1000 times more information (at our fingertips) than we had 40 years ago---but in many ways, people are dumber.  Perhaps we need to teach critical thinking more in school, because facts are based on emotion and personal preferences.

Do math. 4000 dead out of 22 million cases = 0.02% mortality rate. That's roughly in line with the common flu. Right now the global average is 3.4% mortality rate. That's 748,000 dead out of 22 million cases. I said earlier that South Korea is probably our best case study for the true mortality rate. It's 0.6%. That's still 132,000 dead out of 22 million cases. Using the South Korea figures, Covid 19 is approximately 30 times more lethal than the disease that caused the swine flu pandemic.

Last flu season resulted in an estimated 35 million cases. Covid 19 is a little over twice as contagious as the seasonal flu.

Not trying to scare you but is it starting to make sense now?

Sorry I’m not scared. Virus only affects elderly or people with chronic respiratory issues. 
the way people are panicking right now you would think body carts would be coming to our neighborhood during trash days.
 I listen to the experts (ie: doctors) and all experts are saying that the media is blowing this way out and have no idea what they are talking about. Basically saying stop reporting on medical issues you have no clue about.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
