If Tom and Rita have been staying healthy, they'll make it out fine else they'll be dead soon. And here I thought it would never hit Hollywood. Surprised it didn't hit the late night comedians yet since they always joke about it.

reply

Well, celebrities travel a lot and expose themselves more so it really should be no surprise that they would be most at risk..
But the majority of cases are mild and most recover so I expect and hope for the best for them.

reply

It’s shocking. It’s my city. I had no idea he was here and then hear he’s in my local hospital?

reply

too close to home

reply

We’ve had a few in this city, starting with Chinese tourists.

reply

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IT'S NOT YOUR TIME YET! KEEP FIGHTING TOM, YOU'VE NEVER RAN FROM A FIGHT IN YOUR LIFE! LIVE, DAMN YOU! LIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

reply

don't panic.

He was there making a movie at Warner Bros QLD Australia. He caught the virus from an American stage hand who had just come in from abroad.
The Worlds about to go shit creek.

reply

LOL.Didn't know his wifes name is WILSON. Wtf?!

reply

She must be related to Joe ("You lie") Wilson. who in typical pub fashion disrespected the President publicly and inappropriately. Pubs love to break the unwritten rules and then cry about how bad they have it. Sickening.

reply

Obama was a liar so no big deal.

reply

I guess it takes one to know one, right?
Actually, you are a racist. You claim Obama dragged this country down while dt is bringing it up. Only a racist would make this claim. Obama was popular and respected while trump is divisive and inept. If that's what you like in people, you must own a business and most of your employees hate you because you care more about loyalty than competence. And the color of skin.

reply

guess you dont like free speech, typical lib snowflake...

reply

I don't like jack ass speech, that's for sure. If you just say whatever you want to look stupid, no, I'm not in favor of that. You should have a little more pride in yourself. Try being a thoughtful person for a change.

Trump is directly responsible for the death of 172 souls on the Ukrainian airliner

50,000 people a year die from the flu in the US. Over 4,000 a month. So far in 3 months less than 50 people in the US have died. Most were over 80 with preexisting conditions.

I think the issue is that corona is more contagious than the normal flu and it could shut down major industries like food production and transportation if it keeps spreading.

reply

There’s a vaccine and treatments for the flu. The mortality rate for coronavirus is double that for the flu. If coronavirus becomes as common as the flu, we will be looking at millions of deaths. Hospitals will be overwhelmed. That’s why it’s so important to slow down the contagion now.

reply

The same treatments for the flu are used for the WuhanFlu(cv19). The flu vaccines are for individual strains that are predicted to be prominent each year. They are a guess. CV19 is also a strain of the flu.

The numbers simply are no where close to justifying the absurd panic the media is currently promoting.

Imagine if CV19 infected 60 million Americans and killed 12,000. That would be devastating right? Well that’s what happened in 2009-10 with the swine flu. Was anything shut down? No. Was there a media created panic? No. Should there have been? No. Getting sick is part of life. It’s why god gave us an immune system. And that’s why over 99% of those unlucky enough to catch the WuhanFlu survive and go on with life.

reply

You’re gonna need to provide a source for the claim that CV19 is a strain of the flu.

You have no understanding of basic concepts. Every virus takes time to spread. Covid 19 is deadlier and more contagious than any type of flu. At what point in your mind is it ok for us to start trying to prevent the spread and resulting deaths of this virus? If you had it your way, millions of Americans alone would die, including at least a few people you know if not yourself.

If your skygod was nice enough to give us immune systems, why the hell did he create disease in the first place? Or violence, famine, and natural disasters?

Crazy religious idiots are a scourge on humanity and prevent the human race from evolving.

reply


As an athiest, let me just say that you are far more deranged than most of those who believe in a "skygod"..

reply

What’s deranged about anything I said?

Religious zealots reject science and some even want chaos and tragedy in the world in order to feed into their Biblical ‘end of times’ delusion. These people significantly hinder the progress of mankind

reply

These people significantly hinder the progress of mankind


I've spent my life in engineering that included overseeing projects that had some truly brilliant minds working under my supervision, many of those people were people of faith. They hinder no one. I don't believe what they do yet I don't prejudge anyone based on whether they believe in a creator or not.

You are more blind by your hatred of people of faith than they are by their own.

Your comment was to the poster who said: "It’s why god gave us an immune system." Note the small "g" in god. Doesn't sound like a religious zealot to me. If he said that it was nature that gave us an immune system you would have been fine. You clearly over-reacted, and this is something many atheists do.

Live and let live.
