A useful aspect of stressful times is that you glimpse what’s really important to people allowing you to react accordingly.

Hopefully people on all sides of the political spectrum will agree we need fix the problem of China making all our meds. We want to be energy independent but with China having us by the jewels in regards to medicine is a recipe for disaster. Let them make our cell phones, and toys, bring the meds home.

In what way is it worse than the flu? Edit: Asking because I have pretty much been in self quarantine the last month because the flu has been so bad here, and I have a low immune system.

Several reasons:
1. The mortality rate is far, far higher than the flu. The seasonal flu killed between 0.05% and 0.1% for 2019-20. The estimates of COVID-19 range from 1% to 3%.
2. COVID-19 can be spread before symptoms show up.
3. The flu is generally limited to about 10% of the population, in large part because the population has some immunity. Nobody has immunity to COVID-19. If COVID-19 spreads unchecked, it could run through 30%-70% of the population before herd immunity causes it to slow down. That has the potential to kill a lot of people.
4. Rapidly ramping cases will easily overrun healthcare resources, resulting in a higher mortality rate than otherwise would occur. The difference between 1% and 5% could be due to sick people not getting the required treatment. They are already rationing some resources in Italy and are prioritizing some people over others. That's a fancy way of saying they are letting old people die.

It isn't the flu.

People that make the pharmacy ring up groceries and pay with a check need a butt whoopin

No need to worry. Coronavirus is about to decimate that demographic.

Simonton seems like an angry little man when it comes to things not sports related.

Not really different than his sports slant. Always get a repressed rage slant from his reports.

Thank you. Do you work in the medical field? I did realize it is not the flu and the rationing in Italy, but appreciate knowing that it is contagious before symptoms (although people don't seem to care if they are contagious with the flu), and that no one has an immunity (hate that y'all are in my club!). Guess I will continue to avoid as many people as possible for a while.

I am not in medicine, but as an engineer I do enjoy digging into the details.

His tweets are annoying. He’s a typical cuck

I stayed at a Holiday Inn a few years ago, so i’m basically working on the cure...

Not directly or anything, but I figure something will come to me

Are they not aloud to workout?

No organized team activities is what the NCAA said in their statement.
