re: Coronavirus is total hysteria

I hear what you're saying about some doomsday people. But if I sit next to you at a ballgame and you die of heart disease or cancer, my family will still be safe. If I sit next to you at a game and you have this virus, my family would be at risk and with 2 people in the house that I would consider "at risk". Having said that, agree, as a country, we can stand to be healthier.

Right a lot of people keep commenting the fatality rate is higher for covid than H1N1. However they are not taking in the fact that H1N1 had 580 days to lock in its fatality rate. I’m sure the first 30-60 days the rate was much higher.

It's mass hysteria. I've never seen anything like this. Making it is all we can do right now though. Life in 2020. If you see something, say something baw
Flatten the curve.

People are going to be hospitalized it’s a virus. However if you are not over 65 with no underlying health conditions you should be able to squash this. Do we do the same thing by shutting everything down when the next pandemic occurs in ten years? The pussification of America is really bad these days. I truly believe that if we were to go to war and get invaded we’d be so screwed.

On one hand I agree with you. On the other, it's the sudden influx of sick people on the hospitals that we can't handle. Nobody wants to see elderly people in the ER being cast aside because there aren't enough resources to treat everyone and they are only a few years from death anyway. On the other, this is going to wreck our economy and many peoples lives.

Can I catch heart disease or cancer from being sneezed on?
Posted on 3/22/20 at 12:27 am to cbtullis
You’re a fricking idiot, please shut the frick up.

No but if you are sneezed on you have a 98.7% US chance of surviving it.

We should defer to scientists and engineers on this issue.
Doctors treat illnesses with drugs and technology developed by scientists and engineers.

Corona virus is a problem.
Let scientists and engineers solve it.
There's a reason vast majority of Nobel prize in medicine are awarded to non medical doctors.

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.
The two issues are not mutually exclusive. Considering the incredible corrupt things that have been done to attack Trump, I would not be surprised if the outbreak was a deliberate move to undermine him, especially as he had strongly held China’s feet to the fire on trade issues.
However, that said, the effective transmission issues of the virus and the problems of our healthcare systems’ ability to contain it, are too factual to be considered panic unless one was to assume that the “panic conspiracy” was so strong as to include local healthcare professional in so many local, state and federal healthcare entities, which is ludicrous.

We already do and it’s barely started yet, you fricking simple minded fool.
And it’s not even a matter of just who will die, but the countless people who may survive but require several weeks of hospitalization, truly fricking up the healthcare systems for all whether virus related or not.

Do you read about it? At all?
Posted on 3/22/20 at 1:23 am to cbtullis
Its a virus. They have been around probably before we have. One kind will give you a running nose and the other will kill you graveyard dead. The flu of 1918 killed 25 million. Our ancestors had to deal with all kind of nastiness from yellow fever to small pox. Maybe it is a bit of arrogance on our part to think that somehow we are smart enough to cure everything. The only thing we know for certain is that we are all going to die. I do not plan wasting any time that I have living worrying about not.

Jesus, some of you are a special kind of stupid. Yeah, all of Europe agreed to shut down just to attack Trump. You realize this is affecting the entire world and not just US, right?

Except it wasn’t. The concern was more who was dying rather than how many. And even that was tempered by the 90 day mark (which we are beyond in the coronavirus)
