Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[FLVOL69]

Failed how? Do you think he could have miraculously stopped the spread of the virus? If Joe or Bernie are elected, do you think they will somehow miraculously stop the spread?

They’ll tax it to death

These simple comparisons will explain why if you aren't immune to facts:

1) Death rate in confirmed cases?
* Covid-19 = 3.5% so far
* Flu =0.1%

2) Transmission rate?
* Flu has a transmission rate of 1.3
* Covid-19 has a transmission rate closer to 3.0

3) Vaccine?
* Flu = YES
* Covid-19 = NO

4) Population Immunity?
* Flu has been around for over a century, so YES
* Covid-19 first infected a human late last year, so NO

So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000, this is 59 or so deaths from the Coronavirus

We’re all ****ed

Maybe not completely unreasonable then. This stuff is a coarse grind - where yours is probably a lot more uniform and sounds spherical rather than just how the stuff crunches under a mill.

Sorry, I mis-overestimated when I mentioned my cost on that particular product... actually it's $9 per kg, or about $4.10/lb.

The reason we carry this premium grade SG is for a specific process licensed by one of the big air gas companies... we are their default distributor.

From the company I source my molecular sieves from I could get cheaper, Chinese-made silica gel in 25-kg bags - either in bead form for about $2/lb or in granular form for about $1.50/lb, but this is FOB my supplier's warehouse. Overall economics on such small orders, when you factor in the freight, handling, paperwork etc. - would be hard to beat Amazon.

As a minimum order of low-cost materials such as mol. sieves or activated alumina, I generally sell a 25-lb qty for $250 plus shipping...

Nice. What is mortality rate among people under 60 that are healthy?

Be easy, he was beaten senseless by some ANTIFA girl... and she stole his hat

How would you know it's a girl? And I thought there were more than two genders in your world.

But the China/us border is beautiful this time of year

By border you know what I meant.

Been here 10 years.

Dont play like you didn't know what I meant and I somehow think we are land linked.

Sheesh dude.

 

[NEO]

1. I’m rusty on geography, but I don’t think we have a Chinese boarder

2. Why?

Oh my God.

When you shut down travel you shut down the border for non land linked places.

Are you guys really that dumb that I gotta explain this?

That was rhetorical by the way.

You are that dumb.

From CDC update today:

Deaths - 68
Positive tests - 3,487
Number tested - 25,162

Are you fine with sacrificing those folks?

Honestly, this has been one of Trump's better press conferences of late. He's spoken well and it has been quite informative. I recommend watching it later if you have the chance.

 

[Weezer]

They’ll tax it to death

I meant it as an honest question. Viruses spread. That's what they do. And people seem to be ignoring the damage that shutting down the country does. The markets have crashed, people are out of work and not everyone will be paid. Business recovery will most likely include layoffs to offset financial losses. And the answer is what? Blaming Trump? I'm not sure what he, or any POTUS, could have done to stop this?

 

[Rifleman]

Sorry Skippy I’m not buying your stats. Care to share your sources?

Which do you reject? Surely you'll admit the flu stats are correct, that Covid-19 is a new virus and there is no vaccine? Is it the Covid-19 death rate and transmission rate you reject? The WHO is my source there and it is a moving number because this is a new virus.

I'll note that some scientists think the death rate is actually higher though, around 5.7% and as high as 20% in certain hot spots.

Estimates will increase if a longer delay between onset of illness and death is considered. A recent time-delay adjusted estimation indicates that mortality rate of COVID-19 could be as high as 20% in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak.

These findings show that the current figures might underestimate the potential threat of COVID-19 in symptomatic patients.

From CDC update today:

Deaths - 68
Positive tests - 3,487
Number tested - 25,162

what that tells me is that the number of cases and the number of deaths being reported are not the actual numbers. If you've only tested 30K out of millions, we just need to pray.

The mortality rates are BS

 

[Hunerwadel]

Nice. What is mortality rate among people under 60 that are healthy?

Much lower but a people under 60 can take it home and give it to their 80 year old parents or grand parents then they can become statistics.

 

[Sandman 423]

Could have started reacting in November.

I am not sure we could do anything in November. The Chinese weren't exactly sharing what was happening until the virus was spreading. I have no problem criticizing the gov. response but to say if we kept the ERT that things would have been different is ignorant.

 

[allvol123]

Are you fine with sacrificing those folks?

We all have a number, we dont routinely discuss it.

Are you ok with destroying society to save an undetermined amount of people?

I've never doubted this will kill people. I just understand that already happens. Always has and always will.

He likes to run around and play fact checker on the conservatives here

So self regulate. Find a solution. Stick grandpa in a basement. Have him self quarantine.

Give up shouldnt be the first option when in includes incalculable economic destruction.

 

[NEO]

Low.

I read a chart it was 0 percent under the age of 18 and like 15 to 20 percent of total deaths were age 19 to 69.

Per BBC:
Canada to bar entry for most foreigners

Bunch of Canuck Racist !

Balance the SS budget.....

He and I go way back.

It just is what it is.

that's good news for you since you post no facts and aren't a conservative
