The fact you're making statements of fact using estimates shows yours. It's especially amusing that you're using estimates that are based on such limited data.

Yet when POTUS acted in February, he was called a racist by the same folks who are now saying he did nothing. So much so, that many are deleting their tweets from that time in order to assist the media with this narrative.
Fact is, no one knows the severity of it, period. Yet, here we are in phase 1 of testing a vaccine already. Fastest in history, yet that's not being reported. Why?
It is OK, Those were rhetorical questions. Get back to the mass hysteria. I'm going get a wheelbarrow so I can haul dead bodies to our neighborhood burn pile.
spot on...

Some one get this man to Atlanta so he can explain to the CDC what actually is going on here. Again, seems like you have it all figured out.

I do understand that the data being given is incomplete, yes. Given that it's incomplete, I'm avoiding making statements of fact about it.
You should probably do the same. You should also consider unclutching your pearls or you're going to stroke out before this super virus can get to you.

I am now on day 7 of 14-day self quarantine. A coworker’s fiancee was exposed to the virus—ergo she might be a carrier.
We also just got told to wfh through end of March.
Was so excited to watch basketball during this period. I’m sure NCAA will cancel right?

I'm OK with everything that is happening and think it is a proper response. I'm not worried about it personally because I fall into a health and age range that is shown in confirmed cases to have little to no symptoms. I do however have concern for my fellow man and think until we have proven facts otherwise, which you so greatly admire, the trends and statistics available paint a very serious issue for at risk groups. So maybe remember there are lives at stake here. It doesn't have to be a pile of bodies to do all you can to prevent a pandemic claiming lives unnecessarily. That is the last I have to say on it.

Again, I haven't advocated for anything. I've only laughed at you parroting incomplete data as some sort of end all to the discussion.
The people who are declaring this as a super virus already are just as ignorant, and just as much of a problem, as the people who are ignoring it altogether. There's a very, very good chance that the panic will cause more problems than the virus itself.

As usual,!though, POTUS couldn’t keep his story straight. Lol when he said sick people were, or should be, going to work. Holy crap. His staff needs to outfit him with a shock collar.

Life always has and always will have a degree of risk analysis involved. And I harken back to what an insurance agent once told me, that is he could insure me against virtually any risk imaginable...but at what cost?
Point being, this certainly isn't something to be totally ignored. But by all accounts it is also not killing people at some astronomical rate. In fact, most that have it don't know it. So does that cost/benefit analysis warrant essentially shutting down society for all intents and purposes (not just ball games...but school, work, retail stores, business, etc). So perhaps these measures do "save" 100k people, but does "saving" those 100k warrant adversely affecting 327 million be it financially, socially, etc.? And if so, is this what is going to be the immediate reaction, grinding normal society to a halt, the next time something like this occurs...and it WILL occur again.

But I understand why; you can't.

I've seen 4 different Dr.s who specialize in such illnesses all claiming this is not the plague and the only people dying are elderly with impaired health or immune systems.They all claim this chaos is overreaction. Some others have postulated that the media has hyped this up for political purposes.And don't shoot me I'm only the messenger.

I get what you are saying but the drastic measures being taken and suggested are above all to spread out infections over a longer period of time so that they don't overwhelm the health care system.
If you look at what's happening in Northern Italy, the disaster there is that so many are sick at the same time. Doctors are being forced to choose who to allow into intensive care facilities -- basically choosing who lives or dies -- at alarming rates.
Of course there will come a point in which people have to get on with a more normal schedule but these measures right now are mainly an effort to buy time with the idea that a lot more lives will be saved if 20K cases (just for example) happen over a 3 month period instead of a 1 month period.

I'm guessing these are the same doctors who've speculated that the virus has been in the states since late 2019. They also guess that millions of people have already contracted, and then recovered from it without even being aware that they had it.
As always, the truth is most likely somewhere in the middle.

WM7....you win the internet for today! This is EXACTLY the reason for the cautions be put in place!! Not to stop it/cure it, just to slow it down enough to not overwhelm the hospitals all at once.
If the hospitals are overwhelmed with elderly/people with preexisting conditions that get corona....where are they going to put people who have been in severe accidents, heart attacks, brain surgeries, etc? There are only so many beds available and there are already enough people in intensive care units for reasons OTHER than the corona virus.

I'm sorry, what did you say? Oh yeah, nothing, as usual.
You fell of the cliff years ago. Give it up.

You realize the Flu is a deadly virus right? 20k die each year to it..and we have a vaccine. 39 have died to Corona and 2/3 of those were in one nursing home in Seattle. The average age of deaths due to Corona is 80 yrs old. The overreaction to this has been overblown and political.
