Actually, almost every doctor I have spoken with agrees with everything he said. As I've explained earlier in the thread: most cases of Coronavirus are likely mild (like the other corona strains that we see every year). Those cases will never be tested, because people will not seek medical attention. It's very likely that we are only seeing/diagnosing the worst "piece of the pie." How small that fraction is remains the question. If it's the worst quarter, 10%, or 1% of patients, the actual mortality rate will be under 1%.

Also, he did not give any recommendations in that clip.

They dont want to hear it. They just want to blame Trump.

At this point it is a little ridiculous. What will you convey, that is useful, that some fed press conference or other state press conference, has not conveyed?

Agree unless there is an announcement to allocate x amount of state money or to clarify it as a travel case. Otherwise it has little benefit.

It's a rumor at this point. Hopefully what I was told is wrong. We'll see.

I don't think it's a bad thing to hold a PC. Saying nothing is probably worse for instilling panic.

The fear of the illness is causing more damage than anything else. The media is going to do what the media does, we know it - yet we continue to lap it up.

Spot on. We complain about the media and yet we go into "milk and bread (toilet paper) panic" when they start the incessant drum beat. We are Pavlovian in our responses. The media just rings the bell.

When will we ever learn?

Now that I know more about this illness, I'm not scared of it at all.

Right? If I were immunocompromised or elderly (@1972 Grad), I'd probably invest in some hand sanitizer and avoid bingo down at Kiwanis hall. Otherwise, the fallout from the overreaction is by far a more terrifying prospect.

It's balancing act, no doubt. Media is all over Trump for downplaying it, same with some on here. Saying nothing is down playing it. It's a no win, damned if you do damned if you don't scenario. I think if there is a case and the governor stated the measures taking place that it would probably help. Has he had the PC? I heard it was schedule for 9:00 CST.

Wow, your spinning like LG.

Are you insane? What have I spun?

You post about some 50 year old and act like the world has said it is impossible for young people to die from this. No one has claimed that.

Your posts on particular individuals are stupid. We all know anyone can get and die from this. Just like they can from the flu, car wreck, lightning, tornadoes, etc.

You're right, he can't win but truthfully Trump should stay in his lane on this and defer the opinions to the people with letters behind their names. Politicians commenting on public health matters is a recipe for misinformation that will result in further distrust of the .gov.

The Tennessee Government down to colleges has already discussed a long term shutdown situation. Colleges are looking at their entire list of classes and starting to plan on shifting them over to online in the event of a widespread infection in Tennessee.

With a son over on the hill I don't dislike this idea.
