I think they believe it originated from a bat that infected another animal then infected a human

If this was the case there would be ZERO recoveries. The fact that people recover and become virus-free is due to their immune systems recognizing and fighting off the virus.
I think the meaning was that it takes longer for your immune system to fight something that it hasn't seen before, not that your body is incapable of fighting it, period.

So China had less than 1% infected and hospitals were overrun.
That’s what you’re using to say this thing is no big deal?

Stupid people don't like long reads. Maybe the OP can whip up a cartoon version for your dumb arse.

For some people it seems. A bigger percentage seem to be fighing it off fine and/or do not seem necessarily as susceptible as other to acquiring it. It's interesting stuff.
Please don't confuse these observations as related to a particular position on what anyone should and shouldn't be doing societally at the present time.

Yes
The body can eventually adapt to it like anything else; how many deaths would occur and how long would it take is an answer no one obviously knows.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be proactive in washing and sanitizing. And yes our hospitals and health care professionals are already overrun without a special virus running amok.
Those numbers don't lie though. Do I think we should have enough capacity to handle a .03% uptick in sickness? yes. But showing exponential charts using perfect math are misleading at best. Viruses don't spread perfectly. Everyone's grandparents or parents aren't going to choke to death from it either as some have said.
If .04% of the population gets infected, you probably won't even know someone personally affected, much less dead from it. Hardly the movie quality outbreak the media wants us to swallow (and have been successful from these posts).
I realize it's a big deal to the .04% infected and the .000036% of people dead, but that's the case with any illness or medical situation. But no reason for all the panic we're seeing. And no reason for people to be talking about ALL THE OLD PEOPLE DYING. It's just not the case.

That would make an interesting movie plot if it hadn't already been used in every pandemic movie, ever.

How do you not understand that infections will increase exponentially until everyone has been infected if the virus is allowed to spread freely? It's not going to magically freeze at .04%.
It's very comforting that you "think we should be able to handle" an uptick in sickness, but the people who's business it is to know these things say that we cannot.

Except that doesn’t seem to be the nature of this virus, unless you think somehow China completely eliminated it.

Show me a country that is weeks ahead of us that shows this will happen. Take a deep breath and think about what you're scared of. Nowhere else has this happened and they have much worse sanitary standards than us. The history on this virus is being established and it's nowhere near this level.

You’re saying this virus now has a 100% infection rate? You must have Proof to back this up, right?
Remember earlier in the thread when you pitched a bitch fit over someone posting positive news because it was speculative? Good times.

China implemented extreme measures designed to slow the spread, and that is what's happened. Some people haven't been allowed to go out of their homes for seven weeks now.
