Any evidence you'll actually believe? No.


So you present no evidence... give me something... if you have something.

Alarmist journalism at its finest. The eye claim is perfectly plausible, but "the killer coronavirus sweeping the world" is hogwash at this point.

Like I said in my first post in this thread - this is basically SARS with 2020 social media/journalism. That's a potent combo for hysteria.

Everyone in this thread was actually discussing the latest available bits of information on this thread - understanding that it may or may not all be true.

Then you and Slackster decided to preach to us how this is really no news at all. If you don’t think this event is anything to be concerned about why are you wasting your time in this thread?

Pretty weird to think this time next month most of us might be dead.

Who gives a flying flip about a stupid headline? I added a link to point out that the transmission implied by a DR was not just about sneeze to hand to eye transmission (which is common) but sneeze to eye transmission.

The eye thing is not anything new.


Eye protection is always been suggested for patients with various respiratory illnesses in droplet isolation in certain situations.


So don’t freak out.

I had to leave the gym this evening cause my work phone kept going off with people freaking out at work over this.

People just need to calm down.

You seem to be under the impression that if someone “posts something on the internet” that it’s somehow valid information that can he discussed but saying that we don’t have much truly valid information is off-limits since we can’t present evidence of its absence other than showing its absence.

1. I never said it wasn’t something to be concerned about at all. 2. I find the reaction to these types of things interesting as someone who spent 10 years in college studying psychology.

Both of you slapdicks should be thankful I am not a mod. GTFO of here some people are interested in any new reports that someone might be posting. You insufferable picks.

I'm kinda curious how we know this for a fact.

people could have been getting a pna and us diagnosing it as viral for months before someone was like "hmmm we are getting a spike of these"

people have been getting viral pna forever, its nothing new


Math and modeling will ultimately help clear that up.

I don’t think anyone in this thread is freaking out. Everyone was just posting links to new articles, tweets, etc then other people came in and started preaching about alarmism. Not a single person I’m this thread is freaking out.

Not directed at you Nurse, just the last post on page. Sorry you have legit people freaking out.

No one in this thread has been panicking. Everyone was just posting latest tweets, articles, etc. Many people were questioned the new things posted. It’s just an info thread, verified or not.

Chill out.
