Hospitals and shite still don’t even have testing stuff right now. So your story is definitely bullshite. We certainly haven’t tested over a million people.

Maybe something did happen. But not anything like you described. No one is running a test for vertigo. No one is sitting on the phone with the department of health for hours to run a test for vertigo.
I’ve talked to providers directly that have tried to do testing. It’s a nightmare that no one really wants to deal with right now.
Hell we know how the first patient was found. A private company ran their own tests on randomly collected flu samples

So we aren’t gonna bring up about Covid-19 now being found in the cerebral tissue of a man in China?

Surgical masks will keep some of sneezing and hacking particles from being sprayed all over the place. It is about risk reduction not elimination.

Only 2.5% of the reported cases in China were children. And there hasn’t been a single young child who has died from the Coronavirus.

Mississippi has conducted 10 tests so far. All negative so no cases. Check out the clarion-ledger article. No time to link it.

Bill Lee just confirmed the first case in TN

Some are speculating that this virus originated from bats but was combined with elements of the SARS to make it affect people. This was done in a Chinese lab where they work on bioweapons.

Were there any other symptoms like cough, chest pain, or fever?
Why chest pains?
All I’ve heard thus far is Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath.

Nashville is going to be out of everything. I haven't been to the store, but I'm assuming it's already lower supplied due to the storms. When the # of cases rises by this weekend, it'll be empty in a lot of stores, I'd assume.

Dr. Seigel said it is the same symptoms as the flu minus the fatigue.

Exactly... which means its not that bad. Those who are being affected severely are the usual suspects.. those with pre-existing conditions that could worsen and terminal patients.
Hell, even young children aren't being grossly affected by this shite. The global media panic has people freaking the frick out.

Honestly, I haven't seen a shortage of anything from the storms. I've been to Costco, Kroger, and Trader Joes since the tornado and it was business as usual.
This COVID19 shite will cause a run on shite though I'm sure.

Well that's good to hear. I'm pretty stocked up. I've got a good amount of food in the freezer. Meat. Soups. Chili. Have a lot of eggs, rice, quinoa, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.

Allow me to be the bearer of good news. These frightening numbers are unlikely to hold. The true case fatality rate, known as CFR, of this virus is likely to be far lower than current reports suggest. Even some lower estimates, such as the 1 percent death rate recently mentioned by the directors of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, likely substantially overstate the case.
quote:
This is where the Diamond Princess data provides important insight. Of the 3,711 people on board, at least 705 have tested positive for the virus (which, considering the confines, conditions, and how contagious this virus appears to be, is surprisingly low). Of those, more than half are asymptomatic, while very few asymptomatic people were detected in China. This alone suggests a halving of the virus’s true fatality rate.
On the Diamond Princess, six deaths have occurred among the passengers, constituting a case fatality rate of 0.85 percent. Unlike the data from China and elsewhere, where sorting out why a patient died is extremely difficult, we can assume that these are excess fatalities—they wouldn’t have occurred but for SARS-CoV-2. The most important insight is that all six fatalities occurred in patients who are more than 70 years old. Not a single Diamond Princess patient under age 70 has died. If the numbers from reports out of China had held, the expected number of deaths in those under 70 should have been around four.
