Jeremy Clarksons Corona/Life Message To His Idiot Green Friends. Do You Need To Send This Same Message To Yours?

I don't see a lot of people jumping up and down with happiness right now, he's being over-dramatic as usual.

Jeremy is obviously having some sort of a breakdown. He needs some help. Fast. Before he uses one of those shotgun shells.

On what mental island is he living on and can we just sabotage the boat so he can’t get back to the mainland? The only joy I notice about wildlife and clear skies returning to polluted areas is the real ability of us to do better in regards to emissions, sanitation, and pollution. And it is the types like Clarkson who have doing everything they can to propagate this terrible pandemic while ignoring, denying, or playing down the effects of this disease. What an awful person this Clarkson has turned out to be.

Do not worry, in a few months we will see if is right or wrong...Time will give you the reason or will say that you are wrong. For now i tend to agree with him.

The coronavirus is NOT wiping out a broad swath of the population. The survival rate among those diagnosed is 98.2%. Of the people diagnosed, nearly all experience only a mild fever, mind body aches, mild congestion that lasts only a couple of days. Unintelligent people are losing their minds over this. The flu--in the USA alone--has killed more than 5X the total number of deaths of the coronavirus worldwide, yet we do not give the flu a second though.

@MD- That simple fact about the flu boggles my mind. 16k - 20k die from the flu in the USA every year. Same in the EU. Likely 3X that in India and China. And nobody says boo. You would think the world would shut down and practice social distancing and hand washing each flu season...

The coronavirus is 100% about the media drumming up an economic collapse just in time for the 2020 elections. Nothing more. Utterly reprehensible. Then you have supposedly intelligent people living their lives emotionally rather than ethically/logically. In they psych trade they call that borderline personality disorder.

@MD- There is no shortage of stupid, even here north of the 49th. Supermarket shelves are missing pasta, apple juice, some cereals, toilet paper, chickens, etc. Zombies are not coming to steal it. We have 1370 or so confirmed with the virus presently out of a population of 37M or so.

I volunteer with emergency response locally and one of the things I dialed in first was readiness. On our property we have enough food, water, and supplies for a month. People are conflating the # of cases with the # of deaths. The fact is that 98.2% survive--the flu survival rate is much lower--and of the people who get the coronavirus most will have SHORT TERM (2-3 days) minor fever, minor body aches, minor congestion. This is NOT a killer disease.

Maybe so but the mortality rate based on 40,000 cases is as follows...

50-59 years of age 1.3%
60-69 years of age 3.6%
70-79 years of age 8.0%
80+ years of age 14.8%

@pug, your "statistics" mean NOTHING because for them to be able to be considered statistics, the age groups would have to have an equal number of bodies. The fact that there are so few old people makes 14.8 seem astonishing when it really is the complete opposite.

Happy 80th birthday.

People are definitely reacting unintelligently to this crisis. Hoarding food and toilet paper, etc. is a very poor response and not well thought out.

However, it is a true health crisis.

I'm not a doctor or a nurse, and I am not qualified to make that judgement on my own. I am listening to the medical professionals in our country, and indeed around the world, and that's what they're saying.

Unless you have medical training, there is no reason your opinion should be given any measure of validity over those in the medical profession.

The coronavirus is 100% about the media drumming up an economic collapse just in time for the 2020 elections.

I have three very simple questions for you on this topic:

1. Is the right wing government of Italy part of this vast media conspiracy to influence the US election?

2. What is the survival rate of the seasonal flu?

3. Why did Trump declare a national emergency?

1. You're conflating and attributing something to me that I did not say.
2. I've posted that repeatedly here.
3. The appease the Chicken Little unicorns like you and your Alt-Left shuffle buddies

Italy is not a right wing government, Conte is strongly left. https://uncoverdc.com/2020/03/20/why-italy/

You have seen a lot of deaths in Italy. More than in China now where they are over the hump and few new cases are now found. The fact is in Italy most deaths were with older people with 2 or 3 underlying existing health issues. If you already have 2 or 3 strikes against you, any good flu would have killed them. It is just that this got to them first.

In Italy, it appears that a large number of people would have died anyway. If someone suddenly dies from a stroke or heart attack but they happen to have the virus, that is being counted as a Coronavirus death. 88% of cases, had serious life-threatening issues already. 50% had 3+ life-threatening conditions in play w/o Corona.

So all of you auto enthusiasts are now epidemiologists and infection control specialists?

You know more than thousands of trained healthcare professionals ... worldwide?

Who knew??

THERE IS A SEASONAL FLU VACCINATION EVERY YEAR. THIS NORMALLY PREVENTS IT FROM BECOMING A PANDEMIC. There is currently no vaccination against Covid-19. So the potential for it to spread worldwide and impact many millions is real.

These are UNDISPUTABLE FACTS.

The notion that the pandemic was "created" in order to create political turmoil for the current administration is ridiculous. And extremely dangerous.

Every country in the world is now infected, I think we can rule out a political attack.

A good point.

No one disputes the flu as being a contagious and deadly virus; however, Covid-19 is more contagious and more deadly still.

Even still, those aren't the main reasons this is a huge new problem. It is, as you mentioned, the lack of a vaccine. If there had been a vaccine to begin with, or time to develop one quickly, I think we'd all be having a different conversation.

Again, this is not my opinion based on my expertise, this is the consensus of the medical community.

Absolutely illogical reasoning: "Every country in the world is now infected, I think we can rule out a political attack."

It was Rham Emmanuel that coined the phrase "never let a pandemic go to waste". The dhims are playing politics as usual. They tried to stuff the Senate aid bill with pork. Now Queen Nancy wants her own pork filled bill.

Anyone here who's taken a rhetoric class would recognize this as a "straw man" argument.

For those not familiar with the term, it's a very interesting fallacy of argumentation.

The speaker or person making the argument asserts a position and claims that position is the argument being made by the opposing side. Usually, this position is characterized by being extreme and well outside the limits of mainstream acceptability.

Most importantly for a "straw man" argument however, is that this "opposing position" claimed by the speaker is not actually the true position of the other side. The speaker falsely attributes this invented radical position to the opposition, and then proceeds to easily dismantle it.

The position posited by the speaker is rarely defensible in and of itself, but it's not actually the argument being made by the other side, and the speaker is misrepresenting the counterarguments and claims made against their own assertions, in an effort to sidestep having to address them.

In this example, Jeremy Clarkson claims that the "other side"'s argument is a welcoming of a virus that kills up to 1/5 of the population of the Earth. No reasonable person who supports even more-progressive environmental policies is truly saying this. That's not to say there's not a handful of nut jobs out there advocating for such a thing to happen, but to ascribe that position broadly to people in favor of "green" policies is misleading and avoids truly backing up and defending your argument against counterpoints.

WB Steve

My name is not Steve.

So you say

What no one seems to discuss is who was patient Zero? Is it just a coincidence that the outbreak occurred near a Bioweapons lab? Why was the existence of the virus not revealed for months possibly as far back as October? Why are international organizations like CDC not permitted to examine the area? Why were large staffs sent to functions like trade pact signings, Davos etc? Who benefits from a collapse of the US and Western economies?

Chinese Virus

As xenophobic as that term is, there's some truth to it.

I wouldn't expect the Chinese government to allow some of the things you're asking about.

That being said, there's no evidence to suggest the virus was manufactured. You ask questions, but they are not being answered. The absence of the answer does not therefore mean it's something you think.

Does anyone doubt that the Chinese government wouldn’t be fazed if the lost a few million people? “The death of 1 person is a tragedy, the death of a million people is a statistic!” - Josef Stalin.

There have been reports that individuals at the Bioweapons lab have sold the animals used in experiments to the local wet markets.

So it;s both a killer bioweapon invented by the Chinese, and it's less harmful than the flu and this is much ado about nothing? Makes sense.

Also, Trump knows this is no big deal, but has declared a national emergency and stands in front of that tiny podium everyday telling people to stay home in order to appease the liberals?

Each of these individually is an idiotic argument, all combined they are just about as stupid as anyone could possible be.

And yet here is Darringer, arguing all of them at the same time.

#TDS
#ChickenLittle
#AltLeftIdiot

And once again you attribute things to me that I did not say. You aren't very good at sanity are you.

I'm sorry, you've said so many stupid, irrational, illogical things no one can possibly keep track.

My favorite though is when you told us that Trump declared a national emergency in order to appease the liberals.

All he has to do is walk out to the podium, say emergency over, this is no big deal, everyone back to work. Tell me again why he's not doing that?

That would be the correct thing to do but it would be political suicide. The numbers are 100% on my side. This simply isn't a killer disease. You are on the other hand one of the Chicken Littles who as an Alt-Left unicorn abandoned rational, self thought in exchange for being told how to think by your Alt-Left captors.
