Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[GVF]

Are you suggesting the steps being taken are unnecessary? If so should we just wash our hands, and see where the numbers are in about 3 months without doing what the experts tell us to do?

No, but are those steps any different than what we should do to avoid 22,000 deaths from influenza. Why is that not a pandemic? Taking precautions is one thing, and it is responsible. What was pandered over the last few days to cause mass hysteria was not responsible news reporting.

Maryland orders bars, restaurants and gyms closed to address coronavirus: ‘Expect the number of cases to dramatically and rapidly rise’

 

[Hunerwadel]

Where did you get your MD/PhD, and where did you do your medical residency, postdoctoral research training, and fellowship in epidemiology?
How many peer-reviewed major research journals have you been published in?
How many vaccines have you created?
How many patents do you have?
How many unique laboratory protocols are you responsible for?
How many viral genomes have you sequenced?

I ask because those are the sorts of credentials the people have who think this is serious.

The people who don't think this is a big deal tend to believe in Q-Anon, Pizza-gate, and that Donald Trump tells the truth.

If you remember in one of his campaign speeches Trump said he loves the poorly educated.

Hopefully trending in a positive direction. Damn China!

I dont agree and here's why.

China was not open and honest about community spread.

Italy did not know it was happening.

We can learn from both. Be open and account for it on the front end. Saw a guy on cnbc who made a lot of sense on this. Our best chance to avoid complete shutdown and quarantine is to do enough now to slow it down and get ahold of it.

Shutting down everything nonessential after 8 pm, for 2 weeks, could make an enormous difference. Not perfect. But effective.

Why not 7PM. Or 6:59? I mean when are we going to get serious about this?

So Italy is the shining example of how not to handle CV19. I think that is pretty universally agreed upon. There are 60M people in Italy. Just under 25,000 people have CV19 last I saw with 1,800 deaths. So 0.04% of their population has the virus and that should be pretty accurate since they have tests galore, right? Everyone except the US has tons of tests per many on here so Italy must have ample testing. Based on a population of 330M we would have 137,500 cases nationwide if we screw the pooch as badly as Italy, who is clearly the worst at managing this from what everyone is saying. And if the death rate is the same 7% as Italy, which there are great reasons for our death rate to be lower, then we are talking about 9,625 deaths nationwide based on Italy’s horrible management and high death rate. So why are we locking the country down? I get precautions but this is getting out of hand with Ohio and some big cities looking to shut down all restaurants and bars. When does it end? And how do we know when everything is ok to return to normal? It sure won’t be anytime soon with the flood of new tests in the US. That will only make things worse and you have Dr. Fauci saying that the country basically needs to close for 2 weeks? That’s ludicrous. We are going to bring everything to a screeching halt for 10,000 people. That literally doesn’t make sense.

This kind of talk has got me responses like I’m in favor of a Holocaust for the elderly.

He was pandering to the Dems

No one is stopping you. Oh yes it would make an enormous difference and that's why you all are calling for it

State mandated closures of private business is too far.

 

[hUTch2002]

The lie of small govt needs to be exposed.

So you’re not talking about helping “flatten the curve” then. Gotcha.

yeah now that nobody can get food because of hoarders, they cant get it at a restaurant either -- many elderly might just starve to death before even getting the virus

And you all got the marching orders at your last Antifa meeting to push a hoax to make sure and do your part to collapse the economy. You, rifleman and huner are good at following orders.

How about we make mandatory strict quarantine for anybody over 50 or with an underlying health condition? They are literally not allowed to leave the house and focus resources to those people for economic relief?

Problem solved. Almost nobody dies and the country is open for business.

Hilarious. Common sense isn’t some common anymore.

He sounds way more rational than some of the posters on here.

Good grief you are incapable of rational thought. Such a child
