Saying its contained is ludicrous yes, but the widespread panic by the media and people paying 50 dollars on the internet for hand sanitizer is also ludicrous.

Every few years there is something new that comes up that is overblown by the media that's going to kill us all.....mad cow disease, sars, bird flu, h1n1, Zika, trump getting elected....etc etc.

I totally agree.

Putting me on the spot here. How about "The First Man"? She was more manly than Barry Hussein was.

Who is "Barry Hussein"?

This. The only reason WA/Seattle has so "few" cases is that no one is being tested despite the fact that it has been moving around the community for at least 6 weeks. I suspect the actual number of infections is 10-100 higher.

Who is "Barry Hussein"?

Barack Hussain Obama

Barack Hussain Obama

Then why call him "Barry Hussein"?

Birther nut jobs emulate their hero and current US President who loves to use Obama’s middle name as veiled racism. Dropping his last name further promotes the subconscious to believe he was Muslim, which most right wing extremists fear.

It’s not far fetched to believe that without the ridiculous conspiracy theories of Obama’s birthplace, religion, etc. that Donald Trump may not be President today. Trump used that platform to catapult himself into the political spotlight. I actually don’t think Trump believed any of it at first, but I suppose if you continue to regurgitate garbage eventually you will believe it. My good friend George Costanza taught me that. “It’s not a lie if you believe it.”

Way to call the Americans people stupid. Trump won because Hillary was a garbage candidate, who somehow screwed up a huge advantage with a fawning media. Period.

Way to completely not read what I said. Why was Trump in the political picture? That was my point, not anything to do with the election itself. Also the media was not kind to Hillary, if they were they would have buried the whole “emails” thing (which turned out not to be a thing anyways) as opposed to nonstop coverage on emails while Trump continued to spew out lies.
