Who said anything about measures not working? What does that have to do with severity? 
These same measures would work for most other contracted illnesses.

Maybe you are trying to set up a “see I told you 500,000 wouldn’t die” thread or something.

That is far from the norm in regards to posts.

But there is zero need to be that aggressive for the common cold. You won’t admit it, but you are acknowledging it is necessary here. Thanks for pointing out the differences in other countries.

Just because a policy is working doesn’t mean the US is “behind” italy.
Would you prefer it be worded that Italy is farther along in the outbreak than the US?

I have a few questions for those that have been closely monitoring this:
1. Have they mentioned risks to pregnant women/fetus?
2. Do we know what % of people with COVID19 are asymptomatic? I'm guessing we need more testing before we know this, but is there an estimate?
3. Has there been a single death in the Western world of a non-elderly or non-immune compromised individual?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Why aren’t we this aggressive for the flu? Why weren’t we for h1n1? I said earlier that I don’t think we even need a process to handle this. The summer will kill it off. A vaccine will be made. It’ll go away through the same ways we’ve made others go away. Acknowledging that blocking China travelers slowed this in the US is just noting an obvious fact. All this limit on traveling and places closing and quarantines will slow a ton of other illnesses too.

Well that depends on how you define further along. If you’re doing it by case count, sure. If you’re doing it by time, no.

Well how many different people was that? If 2 people shout the sky is falling for 100 posts, that doesn’t mean everybody is in a panic.
And hell, you do know the percentage of people that troll here right?

It definitely did. It is so hard to find good information in here.

There is no evidence that this simply burn out in the summer. Sure the rate my slow but the WHO and other experts say they have no data to suggest it will go away.

It’s not they they found a weakness. It’s that they built a well oiled machine and just flicked the switch. They may have also decided to wage war via viral epidemic instead of traditional warfare. Scary shite.
This isn’t going to turn into a Q thread. There is no global media conspiracy.

They cannot obtain any data because it involves the future.
Also, trust very little that the WHO states.
They want their donations and grant money.
Pandemics/epidemics are their wet dreams.
If any institution is going to overplay it for personal gain, it is the WHO.

BBC article
quote:
Are there any risks in pregnancy?
Officially the answer is no, but experts have raised doubts.
Pregnancy does many things to the body, including weakening the immune system.
That stops the mother's body rejecting the foetus in the womb, but it also makes women more susceptible to infection. Pregnant women are more likely to die from flu than non-pregnant women of the same age.
The UK government says there is "no obvious sign" that pregnant women are more likely to be severely affected by the coronavirus.
"I'm not so confident," says Prof Hunter.
"It is based on data from nine pregnant women, so I don't think you can say everything is fine.
"If it was my wife, I would be encouraging her to take precautions, wash hands and so on and be double careful."

Wouldn't infection rates in the Southern hemisphere be a good predictor of what may happen to the virus during our summer?
