We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

"hoarding" :roll:

Cuomo was saying NY will need up to 30,000 ventilators... "21 days from now".

That's almost a sixth of the total number of ventilators presently available.

Trump was questioning that number... as he should. (I mean what the fuck does Cuomo know)

If anyone is trying to hoard, it's Cuomo... for NY at the expense of the other states.

So yeah, you're the "tard" there Panic Attack! Image

Howbout let the big boys discuss these COVID issues whilst you take another pill and go back to bed. :drink:

I would agree if the corona thing passes relatively quickly. But if it takes like six months or more, a lot of companies will go belly up, especially those in the travel, hospitality and restaurant businesses. But others as well. A line of clothing stores has filed for banruptcy here in Sweden. They were already reeling from losing customers to on line shopping, but corona pushed them over the edge. Sweden’s biggest hotel chain, Scandic, has given notice to all their employees. And several air lines have let most people go as well. Once they have shut down, replacing that business will take time.

So, to sum up, if this is over in a month or two, or even a few months, the economy will bounce back in no time. After that, the longer it takes, the more real damage will occur.

When it comes to the Spanish flu, it took almost three years to get it under control, from January 1918 to December 1920.

The fact that it's 1/6 of the total ventilators is irrelevant. I'm sure you know that.

Yes, he's hoarding ventilators. That's why they're having to share them between patients already.

Trump not getting enough love. Wants governors to kiss the ring.

https://news.wbfo.org/post/watch-corona ... id-package

So much for being a leader in a crisis. He just makes it about himself. Cuomo is the real leader here, rising to the challenge and calling out Trump's BS.

Even Gretchen Whitmer, a junior governor, is showing more class than Trump.

Hi, my name is Gretchen Whitmer, and that governor is me.

I've asked repeatedly and respectfully for help. We need it. No more political attacks, just PPEs, ventilators, N95 masks, test kits. You said you stand with Michigan — prove it.
