Coronavirus is total hysteria

I get it. It’s the unknown that scares everyone
But there is enough worldwide info at this point to put things into perspective.
Yes we need to protect our love ones
But shouldn’t we do that anyways by living a healthy lifestyle? I mean 400,000 people die a year of heart disease
Who knows how many of cancer, etc
This virus will kill people. Yes
Kill people you know. Yes
But it’s not the global movie thing the press wants it to be
Sorry. Rant over

I keep telling my wife I may have it.
She says, can you hold your breath for 10 secs
I say yes
She says I am ok.
Is that a true test?

Original take.
I will defer to your expertise on the subject matter.

Come back on Monday morning when people care about arguing. It’s Saturday night, man.

Yeah that’s how they test you at the hospital. Then they send in whether you could hold your breath or not the labs and you get an answer in 4 days.

Unfortunately the Masses don’t realize H1N1 infected 109,000 Americans a day when its 580 day run was over. The Media shielded Obama, and did not make it but a once every five day run in their evening news cycle. Fast forward ten years its an election year and a republican needs to be de-throned. This is purely a hit job on trump by the media, and their cronies inciting panic on a virus that when all said and done will have a less than 1% fatality rate.

When I was 11, I won a competition at our neighborhood pool for holding my breath for 2 minutes 15 seconds.
So, your 10 seconds is shite.

Are you a doctor?
What profession are you in? What do you do for a living, OP?

The death rate of H1N1 was .02%.
We’re just getting cranked up here in the U.S. I sincerely hope this is being blown out of proportion. What I’ve see at the hospitals the past 7 days don’t have me very optimistic though.

Heart disease kills more like 650,000 a year
1,780 a day.

Depends. Is your life insurance paid up?

The OT says “you will regret this post when you and/or your loved ones’ lungs are eaten completely by this virus.”

I may be going overboard here but if the society shutdown continues for two more weeks. I believe you’ll see a shift in the theory of overloading hospitals with covid patients to social violence patients via gunshots, robbery victims, suicides, etc. There is always an opposite and equal reaction when a decision is made.

Run for your life son. And wash your hands after going to Walmart, Costco, Lowes and Circle K and touching many other things that you won't wash

Just seeing enough people being hospitalized in certain areas of the country doesn't have you alarmed?
Trying to compare a new virus strain to a past one is like comparing hurricanes.
They all have different effects and outcomes
