You sincerely think this is just influenza, don't you. That it's ok for anyone to get, including asthmatic children.




You're really bad at arguing. You should try starting out countering anything I posted instead of making assumptions and trying to put words in my mouth.

No illness is OK for anyone to get. I don't care if it's the common cold. I am just of the mind that this isn't going to lead to 1/4 of people in the USA getting infected and us digging mass graves like people are cheering for.

As much as you’ve been shitting your pants over this damned virus you’d think by now you’d have figured out that unless you’re 70+ and/or in bad health already, you don’t have anything to be scared of from this thing.

I was just wanting your position. Suddenly, the old and young don't matter as much as being able to win online debates. Be healthy or die.

How are your grandparents and parents these days? Affairs in order?

And that changes what if you need an ICU bed for a non Corona reason?


Pull grandpa’s plug and wipe the bed down, we have a pretty bad car accident vic coming in!

I think it’s interesting how people feel that since it only affects people unlike themselves it doesn’t matter. Some of us have people we care about in the high risk and / or old age category. Not saying panic is necessary, but dismissal seems wrong as well.

Do tell. I would love to read your logic again how this is just a "median age" issue.

Internet tough guys coming out because this doesn’t effect their age bracket

“Oh it just kills a lot of old and sick people who cares”

Really showing how great of a person you are. But that’s the mentality today, if it doesn’t effect me IDGAF.

What’s the common cold and regular flu death rate?


Between 5-10x higher than the flu, but the problem is how much higher the rate gets after age 50 rather than being spread out amongst all infected.

Look, dipshit, I have chronic congestive heart failure and an artificial mitral valve. I’m the definition of someone with an underlying health complication.

But am I shitting my pants like you?? Am I on here trying to panic folks?

frick off. You don’t know shite about what does and doesn’t affect me so stop acting like you do.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter. I'm saying that the death rate of 3+% is lying with statistics. People are using this virus to stoke fear among the general population with numbers like "10s of millions dead" etc. Trying to portray this as the next Spanish Flu, or what have you.
Seriously.

There are people on the news saying to expect half a million dead.

Anyone who believes that is insane.

Do you think people with cardiovascular disease are shitty people? Do you think people in their 50s aren’t just as much human?

Have you looked at the statistics for that demographic?

I bet you haven’t. And I bet there are a lot of people in your circle that fit that criteria, but you wouldn’t know because your head is in the sand busy flipping penny stocks. This isn’t just muh flu to them.
