Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[allvol123]

I said, as recently as yesterday, takes over and it all becomes about him. The effect of the virus drives his answer to absolutely everything, and it causes him to blather mindlessly and to not think about what he is saying, or how it fits or does not fit with the message the people that know what they are doing are trying to send, pretty much simultaneously..

The. Irony.

If you’re 80 years old with COPD.

Don’t be an asshat.

The child with cancer.
The teenager with asthma.
The 20 something with obesity.
The 30 something with diabetes.
The 40 something with high blood pressure...

This coronavirus doesn’t give a damn how old you are. If you have existing conditions your risk of the infection becoming severe to life threatening rises.

Script points:

1) Pat self on back for 525th time for China travel ban and say it would be worse but for that. Ignore all subsequent inaction and rhetoric minimizing it the following 6 weeks which undermined that initial decision;

2) Talk about how great Fauci and Pence are doing, because they work for you and you picked them.

3) Talk about payroll tax cut. Do NOT talk about how we deal with $1.17 trillion tax deficit created by it.

4) Pat self on back for 526th time for China travel ban and say it would be worse but for that. Ignore all subsequent inaction and rhetoric minimizing it the following 6 weeks which undermined that initial decision.

Since when did you become fiscally conservative?

The average age of fatal cases in Italy is 81.

Chick Fl A still full so must not be that bad or is the hate chicken worth the risk?

 

[DynaLo]

The average age of fatal cases in Italy is 81.

And that totally excuses being an asshat about people dying from this virus? What’s it going to be here in 10-14 days once we’re at the same virus time point as Italy? Are you ok with folks dying from it as long as it’s somebody else’s parents or grandparents?

Since I heard CNBC this morning saying that Kudlow and others want to make the payroll tax cut PERMANENT.

And don't forget the misery of the people who get it but don't die. Who contribute to overwhelming the hospital system, but eventually walk out.

I haven’t looked into the particulars on it yet, but my first thought was, hey what a way to hide cuts to the SS program.

 

[volfanhill]

Maybe one of you alarmists can explain something. The flu kills at least 500000+ people a year. Sometimes the mortality rate is very high depending on the strain. So how is Corona 10-15 times deadlier when it hasn’t even killed 5000 people?

I will trust this guys opinion over both of ours.

I have a similar thought. I'm wondering what the long-term health effects of this virus are even after one has recovered from it.

I've seen some reports out of China that there are indications of long term lung damage.

Then the choices are to:

1) Increase tax somewhere else to make up for the $1 trillion;

2) Eliminate Social Security and Medicare;

3) Dramatically balloon the deficit and the debt, forever.

From this article:
At the same time, he did clarify that 10 times figure actually brings the new coronavirus' fatality rate lower than official estimates, which hover around 3 percent. The flu has a mortality rate of about 0.1 percent, so, when considering the likelihood that there are many asymptomatic or very mild cases that have gone undiagnosed, Fauci places the new coronavirus' lethality rate at somewhere around 1 percent.

Fiscal conservatives are extinct. Casualty of the Trump Train.

 

[lawgator1]

South Korea has tested 140,000 people for the coronavirus. That could explain why its death rate is just 0.6% — far lower than in China or the US.

Food for thought for the chicken littles.

Its not deaths/number of tests

Its deaths/number of cases

Wont SS and Medicare liabilities decrease dramatically with the drop in older population?

Not eliminate, reform, which is going to have to be done anyway.

I wouldnt even watch it on TV - screw the cowards (not players the dolts in charge of it) -- businesses arent shutting down, most people still have to go to work everyday

Merkel says that she thinks 70 % of Germany could eventually contract it.

Let's cut the number in half here. 35 %

35% of our population is 114 million people. A 1 % death rate translates to 1.14 million people dead.

Not to mention the long term consequences of it for those that survive, or the cost to deal with it, which will truly be enormous.

Which is significantly higher then the flu

I am 100% confident that there is not a politician alive that will balance the budget.... I am also 100% confident that our budget is more due to wasteful spending than it is to money they steal from me..... until they want to fix either of the two issues I mentioned, I want to keep as much money as possible.

That seems like a way to cook the books, I think it's far more important to tie the mortality rate to the morbidity of those afflicted with covid-19.
