WHEN Suicide rates exceed wuhan Flu rates.

Wuhan Flu deaths start to reanimate

That is what I was thinking, when I was training I was doing about 10 miles a day. Hate running now

10 miles a day are dead miles. I'm not suprised you don't like running. Mix it up and do Fartleks for 2-3 miles, have days where you run painfully slow and almost walk, do sprint days, interval days.

Advice from a guy who hated running too. Now, running is not an enemy and allows me to eat or drink whatever I want and stay at a healthy weight.

When the numbers match H1N1

I don’t think the health problem is overblown. I believe there are areas of the country that are not prepared for a Sudden influx of patients that need ventilators, and the hospitals in certain areas could be inundated. Do i believe that the death toll from the virus will be in the millions in the US- no. Do I think it’s dangerous to suddenly have to have a concentration of lots of patients who need ventilators and ICU treatment. Yes. It’s dangerous bc there’s already steady supply of people who need that kind of life saving care for other reasons.

Do I think it was necessary to take a pause to try to slow that down in concentrated areas? Yes. We did not have enough information to make any decisions without giving ourselves some time to figure out where it was and where it’s going.

Extending these restrictions nationwide once Fauci/Birx CDC have enough data to know where it’s concentrated would be an overreaction and overblown. It would create more problems than it would solve.

I think international travel should be restricted indefinitely, as well domestically to and from affected areas. That includes within my own state. I also think restrictions should be placed on at risk populations based on age and whatever preexistimg conditions the Docs think pose greater risk of death if infected.

I think the plaquenll - Zpac is gonna work, and that will calm everything down.

what threshold has to be crossed for you to change your mind?

How many lives are worth 3-5 Trillion dollars and another Great Depression but worse? Between the bailouts and wealth lost, and economic impact that may be what we are looking at. All to save mostly 80 year olds or fat diabetics.

Not depression, destruction.

Overblown. It's been here. Was way more prevalent in December, January and February. No test available. Want to see numbers appear? Create a test and demand for something that is already spread amongst us. Numbers are going up because we are just getting significant numbers of test available nationwide and there is still an 8-10 day delay on results.

Is the current test for antibodies? Would it detect if someone had it months ago and didn’t know what it was? Could these be many of the people they are claiming are asymptomatic?

So the CDC revised their flu death number of 61,200 down to 34,200 (according to the article you linked)? That’s a hell of a revision!

It sure doesn’t inspire much confidence that the CDC knows what it’s doing.

The article I linked also said flu deaths in 2017/2018 were 79,400. Was that also revised by half?

So, I’ll revise my answer to the OP’s question: if deaths from CV-19 exceed 50,000 (which is a little under the average number of flu deaths per flu season of 2017/2018 & 2018/2019) then I’ll change my mind about CV-19 not being as bad as the flu.
