Heh. You were saying? Clearly Trump is too stupid to accept the advice of his own counselors... until it's possibly too late.

"After publicly flouting recommendations he stop shaking hands and convening crowds of people, Trump also seemed to acknowledge, perhaps too late, it was time to alter his behavior.

"It's a very strange feeling," he said of a joint decision to abstain from shaking hands with the visiting Irish Taoiseach, in town for annual St. Patrick's Day diplomacy."

We went from 0 cases to 125,000 in 10 weeks, worldwide. Over 5,000 people have died.

In the US we went from 0 cases to 1,700 (and likely many times that number) in about 4 weeks. 41 have died so far.

All the experts say that this has a much higher contagion rate than we are used to with other forms of flu or coronavirus. And although we don't know the precise numbers, yet, all indications are -- and the experts concur -- that it is much deadlier, by a factor of between 10 and 30, than the flu.

Italy is a case study in how not to respond. Do not blow it off. They are triaging people and having to make terrible choices because they are out of supplies, space, and equipment.

So your life is boring for a month, but it helps us put the brakes on this. I think the choice is obvious.

You're trying to reason with someone that thinks donald shows great leadership. He would die to own the libs.

Here read this and let it sink in.

Notes from UCSF Expert panel - March 10

  • Top takeaways
  • At this point, we are past containment. Containment is basically futile. Our containment efforts won’t reduce the number who get infected in the US.
  • Now we’re just trying to slow the spread, to help healthcare providers deal with the demand peak. In other words, the goal of containment is to "flatten the curve", to lower the peak of the surge of demand that will hit healthcare providers. And to buy time, in hopes a drug can be developed.
  • How many in the community already have the virus? No one knows.
  • We are moving from containment to care.
  • We in the US are currently where at where Italy was a week ago. We see nothing to say we will be substantially different.
  • 40-70% of the US population will be infected over the next 12-18 months. After that level you can start to get herd immunity. Unlike flu this is entirely novel to humans, so there is no latent immunity in the global population.

It’s time to wash your damn hands like adults , stay out of ER waiting rooms wanting to be tested for something , unless you want to actually catch something , and for the love of god , if we have any hope of surviving this attack on our gene pool and making it as an intelligent species ... stop buying up all the frickin toilet paper for a respirator virus ! Bunch of knuckle dragging dimwits. 😂

I guess the “10 to 30 times deadlier than the flu” line makes for better headlines than ~0.5% for those under 50 years old, and even less if there is no medical condition that is pre-existing.

This hysteria and alarmist peddling is stupid.

If you are young and healthy live life like normal. If you are old or sick, follow current recommendations the government is forcing on everyone right now.
