Please explain why the frick people are freaking out about a low contagiousness virus with a less than 2% mortality rate that primarily targets geriatrics with high risk factors for the flu?
I can see it with a wombocombo of measles infectiousness and Ebola mortality. But not this kungflu shite.
Honestly my college friends have asked me and our other doctor friend how scared they should be. And to be honest I can't really give a justifiable real answer.
Is it a possibly deadly disease? Yes. Are there other much more deadlier diseases out there? Of course. I had swine flu in 2010 and wanted to die so badly it was awful.
I think the fact it is a NEW illness has a lot to do with it. It's new, it's scary, nobody has dealt with it before.... so people think it is something to dread over. It is not a death sentence, but it is contagious like the flu.
The ebola outbreak a few years prior was MUCH more concerning.
Coronavirus is like influenza's cousin that nobody was expecting to visit
All the measures that have been put in place so far are just to stem the rising trend in total number of infected. Not to say that if you're infected you will die, far from it... but the less infected the less untimely deaths we will have. And isn't that a goal we should strive for? Isn't that a goal we as a country can come together and agree on? I think so.

I’d prob go with social distancing and increased hygiene than suffer a stroke but that’s just me.

The OP calls them rumors, and said even he wouldn't place full stock in them as an MD.
I don't know why he got attacked like he did, but he's getting criticized for sharing more rumors, not facts.

Do not make any medical decision based on any information provided here... it is just to provide discussion and to learn more about this disease that so few know anything about
Hypertension is much much deadlier than COVID-19 I can assure you that

I've read the opposite about ACE inhibitors.

Unless we are badly misweighing the costs. Is that not something that concerns you?

Yeah doctors get their licenses stripped for sharing what they and their colleagues discussed in the hallway regarding a global pandemic

11 cases of Ebola in the USA and 2 deaths and you are saying it’s more concerning that corona. Did you photoshop your fake degree?

Can a nuclear weapons kill it? What about if you shot it on a rocket Into the sun? Or does it have to be bleach? BTW I'm in healthcare and have tested many people for covid19 since Friday.

He should know the correct avenues for disseminating information, and is ignoring them posing as an entity of authority.
