The economy will be fine. You'll get all your money back in the markets.
And I might buy at house with a 1% interest rate

I really don't understand why people continue to spout off this drivel.
Yep, the average coronavirus patient will not have as severe symptoms as the average flu victim.

Does flu season cause hospitals to run out of ventilators that could otherwise save lives?
Flu symptoms in general are usually more severe and sudden than coronovirus.
It's weird how irrationally angry y'all get over this.
For about 20% of patients, the Coronovirus is probably worse.

Might be better to just quarantine the most vulnerable.
This is exactly what should be done.
Quarantining the young is likely to make matters worse.

This will be the narrative of the MSM not matter the outcome. This "panic" is just the new normal.
We are going to see more shutdowns on a more frequent basis. This is a disturbing major tipping point moment. Like 9/11 and the Patriot Act.

People will laugh at the reaction to this the same as we laugh at Y2K.
I get being concerned just like people were concerned then but we are beyond concerned and into sheer panic. Because of that, we have all but mortgaged the future of the country for now.

Yes because there is always a recovery eventually. We just don't know how long that recovery will take.
That's great overall but there are some people who will have their livelihoods and/or jobs destroyed that may not recover as fast if at all.

am pointing out the difference. Hospitals are ready for the flu. We don't run out of things during flu season. Italy has run out of things during this outbreak. That's the biggest risk
Has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

Just a tad biased, it seems.

Tired of people using Italy to prove their point. There are other countries not having those issues for a varitey of reasons. Italy almost seemed like the perfect storm for this to happen.
In short, if that's the best you have then find new material or convince me why a country with more smokers, an older average age, more population density, socialized healthcare with a ton of Chinese nationals, etc should be the example we live by.

Yes I read an article yesterday that 80% of people that have it can go home and recover with meds and rest. Much like with influenza, only their symptoms aren't as bad as influenza. The other 20% are those with underlying health issues and/or are past the age of 70 and even out of that group only the top 10% may require hospitalization.
