I’m still not sure why 0.1% to 0.7% is causing this hysteria.
Project may have to work from home a bit. If this was covered like any other virus outbreak, he never would have even heard of this guy.

Ell can’t understand that if people would actually stay home when they need to, less things would have to be cancelled.

This thread has turned into a pedantic shitfest and I’m not involved for once.
I feel excluded.

It’s hysteria pushed by the media that makes it a story and causes things to close. Not people who live with sick individuals and go outside before there’s even a diagnosis.

I'm wondering if you realize there is a wide gulf between "perfectly fine" and "dead".
This virus has a documented ICU admission rate of 10-20%. If we end up with 100,000 infections, that's going to overwhelm ICU's- not to mention the direct and indirect costs of lost work, etc.

Because it’s also 3-15% for 75 million Americans.

Let me help you out. Flu killed between 35,000, and 50,000 last year, killing .14% of people it infected.
If you have a virus that kills 1% (7 times as many people), you dont see this to be a problem?

That’s for any illness.
FWIW, this has been great for me. Got refunded a ton of of points for some flights and really cheap Red Sox tickets next month.

CNBC just said 37 more positive in NY .. didn't catch NYC or NY state; assuming state.

Although it has been reported that 15-20 percent need to be hospitalized, I will say that number is probably on the high side. Regardless, if the real numbers are 5-10 percent need 2 week hospital stays, do you really think the best thing to do is just let everyone exposed go normally about business with no restrictions?

How many times does it have to be said. The mortality rate doesn’t tell the entire story. The virus works in clusters forming hotspots that can overwhelm the healthcare system because if the large number of patients requiring critical care.
We need to take precautions to slow the spread and ease the burden on the healthcare system.
Let me know what you don’t understand about that

Welcome to 2020, where kids can transition and perform at clubs for grown men, men dominate women’s sports, and everyone wets their panties and descend into anarchy over a cold virus.

His family is single-handedly turning a potential threat into an actual threat for the metro area in which I live and work. Because he's a fricking self-absorbed a-hole.
I will liken it to hollering suck that tiger dick bitch, they do it because they think they should be allowed and to hell with anyone else.

The number was 37,000. So 0.1%. And no, I don’t think 0.7% is enough to write home about.

"He was asked to as a standard response to anyone who calls the hotline and Lives with someone who shows symptoms. You think he was the only person who’s family member called that hotline and didn’t stay home when they were told to? Don’t those hotlines gets hundreds if not thousands of calls?"
This "standard response" is a precautionary matter in case the family member does test positive which would mean the household with intimately exposed to the virus.
The fact that the daughter tested positive is a perfect example of what it is in place. Now, this dipshit and his daughter have probably exposed hundreds of people to the virus.

It is not the death rate that scares me with this. It is the fact it seems to infect lots of people very quickly and the fact that 10-15% of cases need critical care. My worry is what you see happening in Italy happens here (hospitals overwhelmed) and that in turn will drive up deaths.

It is best that we are all careful, that we are all aware and change behavior as needed. This can be easy or this can be hard, but we are dealing with it no matter what.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying this guy had a daughter call a hotline and received a generic response. He went about his life until the diagnosis came back positive and now people want to sue him for all him money, dox him, and wish every bad thing to happen to him. I think that’s insane but I’m being attacked here.
No. That’s not hysteria at all...
