Maybe if we sacrifice the mayor in the middle of Lee Circle the virus will pass over us....

Worth a shot?

Like I've said before, I really don't like "experts" and their "opinions". There is nothing concrete at all about opinions. Now I know a fact isn't a fact until it's proven but don't preach to me like your opinion is a fact that we must put our trust in.

It damn sure isn't, not after all of the incredible measures that we have taken, and the lasting weight that will be on us.

Probably not

But mortality rate is just half the equation

They need to figure out what the real transmission rate is on this thing

And we are not. In fact we’ve cause the steepest decline in economic output in American history over it. Nothing close to really bad years of seasonal influenza flu.

The precedent has been set. We’ll now have to shut the country down every winter during flu season, right?

Somebody needs to be held accountable for this manufactured crisis.

That’s less than 1%, no? I’d say a party may be in order, especially considering the predictions & the doomsday feeling that so easily spreads.

Some young hotheads have taken up positions south on the river to oppose any ships into New Orleans.

Well all depends on what level of bad flu we are talking about.

The spanish flu was a Very Bad Flu.

And, to be fair (my bonafides are that I have said this has been an overreaction to an otherwise serious situation), the relatively extreme measures (and, overreaction or not, it's done now) must be assumed to have had some effect.

How much, we will likely never fully know, but the antibody tests and epidemiological study will tell us that in the coming months and years.

A "very bad" flu could certainly have a mortality rate of over 1%

I think when we have more data it will show that in countries like the U.S. and Germany this will have a mortality rate of less than 1%

Even some pretty modest assumptions about how many asymptomatic people are infected that we don't know about would lead you to that conclusion
