re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

I don't claim to know more about the disease than the people that wrote that report, but going by where we are now, and what we've seen as far as U.S. cases/deaths/cruise ship, and Korea case studies, how in the world can those numbers possibly be feasible?

that is my more pressing concern at this point as well

says the guy who says it would be over in two weeks

I said that we are overreacting to it and my stance hasn't changed. I have said the overreaction will do more damage than the virus. I even said it will be 90 to 120 days before we are no longer dealing with it directly.

We will be dealing with the fallout of the panic for much longer.

I said last night this thing will be a distant memory in 90 days. I don't claim to be a newly anointed disease expert like many here now are but as warmer weather moves in this thing will slow down so maybe 120 days or so? Either way, the hype is ridiculous.

I read something the other day that pointed out that the amount of social media users on apps has grown into the billions vs millions since H1N1 and linked a lot of the panic over COVID vs H1N1 to people like we see on the OT spreading disinformation. I think it's a great point.

Be concerned? Sure. The amount of panic and fist fighting over toilet paper is stupid, though.

You accuse others here as lying and here you are lying yourself, hypocrite.

From what I can tell, there's little basis for the ibuprofen rumor, though

Then why the hell are you spreading it, you fricking twat?

What's wrong with people giving what information they have? If Ibuprofen potentially poses a risk, why not say so and let others decide for themselves.

UK Government advises people take paracetamol instead of ibuprofen to treat symptoms of coronavirus

quote:

---

Speaking before the Health and Social Care Committee, Sir Patrick said: “The ibuprofen example – it may or may not be right, I don’t know – but the sensible thing to do would be to say don’t take it at the moment, take something else – paracetamol or something.”

quote:

---

The latest information adds that people who have been told by their doctor to take ibuprofen, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), should not stop taking their medication unless told by their doctor.

There are two major factors when assessing the mortality or case fatality rate for COVID-19.

A) Age group

B) Number of critical cases in an area.

If you are not in the high risk age group in an area that is not overrun, it's probably not that far off of H1N1 or a bad flu as far as overall risk.

On the other end, Italy and Wuhan show that it can easily be in the 10% or greater range in overrun areas for people over 70.

The overall average is going to poorly reflect the expected impact to different areas/countries.

what is wrong is your retard arse dropping in to the thread once every few hours with your "tried to tell them Gucci" "stop posting lies" bullshite that brings literally nothing to the thread.

However, you are the dumbass that said it was a FACT 1.6 million Americans will die from this by March of next year. You have brought zero.actual information to this thread. You have zero room to act high any mighty, yet you constantly come back to show your arse. For at least the 5th time, go away dummy.

Just checking in to let y’all know that covid has not killed me.
