Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Anyone remember 1976 and the swine flu shots with the pneumatic pistols?

Swine flu shots, huh? Okay, I didn't think I had ever seen that big of a line of people getting their shoes repaired.

I'm sure this will go swimmingly.

Time to enter some short sales!

What kills me us that they wanna go to a store and stand shoulder to shoulder with 500 other people during a pandemic. Tomorrow's the weekend, go first thing in the morning or late at night.

you think people are that smart ?

It's bad. If there's a political angle to be had, it's being stretched every way possible. Shameful.

It's so hard to know what to believe because every news Network is pushing an agenda of some sort. The truth is hard to decipher.

Looks like the first confirmed case in Hamilton County just got announced.

I was smart enough to buy extra stuff 2 weeks ago, because I know how stupid people are. Anybody could see this coming.

What about them? Wonderful sentiment...

You're being intentionally stupid. Congrats.

Older people are more suceptible to dying from the Flu as well. What about that scenario? Where's your chicken little outrage there? You know why Italy has high mortality? Because they have an older population. It's directly proportional. Quarantine measures wouldn't have stopped that. May not have happened as quickly, maybe, but it still would have happened. This thing sucks and I don't want older people to die anymore than anybody else. But this is what it is.

As for everybody else...there are slightly higher mortality numbers (stop with the 30-40 times higher nonsense, that still represents ~0.2% for the majority of people) with COVID-19. The only reason for all these measures is to control healthcare resources being overwhelmed. Educate and normalize this like we do the Flu, or any other infectious disease that kills people and its buisness as normal.

The reactions on this board and moral finger pointing at people like they don't care about old people because they are rationally looking at the problem is mind-boggling stupid, short-sighted, and nothing more than taking the lowest common denominator argument because the sheer hard facts of the numbers don't back up a single thing you are saying.

CNN description seem more realistic than FOX that is apparently downplaying it. (especially considering what is happening in Italy) It sounds like a butt kicker.

Well it was when they actually made shoes good enough that you could resole them. One stop shop, new soles and a defective vaccine in one.

Twenty minutes late and counting. Probably still trying to figure out what the "plan" is.

Maybe the WH ran outta TP and they had to send an intern to the store...

First thing in the morning. Americans are lazy

If there's nothing about a breakthrough in immunization or downturn in infection he might as well wait till after close.

Anyone who has the audacity to be more knowledgeable has to go.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. The idea that it is nothing more than the common flu is crap. The idea that calling COVID-19 "Wuhan virus" or "foreign virus" is exhibiting xenophobia is also crap. What isn't crap is that this virus is something we should treat seriously: stay home if your travel isn't essential and practice good hygiene. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT STAB SOMEONE OVER BOTTLED WATER.

 

[Velo Vol]

Should be social distancing.

It was called the Wuhan coronavirus for weeks by everyone. Including the mainstream media.
