Not everyone needs hospital treatment for this though. Does everyone rush to the hospital when they get the flu? No. Unless you’re 65+ or immunocompromised, then you should stay home and get rest. Sadly the 24 hour news cycle has people running around like scared retards

No, not really. People on all age groups are dying. It's people that are casual about it and not listening the guidance that the experts are putting out that are making it worse for everyone else.

Just checked the two places I buy ammo online for sh!ts and giggles and both were out of stock on bulk .223. Red necks be stocking up!

Ammoman still has some. But, last week I could get 1000 rounds for $200 and now it's over $500.

If they show up at the hospital (specifically in the emergency room), the hospital has to treat them or they’ll have a lawsuit on their hands

It won't help you much for your survivors to sue on your behalf when they didn't have a bed for you.

i still think this.

cnn is intolerable.

Got it.

Posts about the Coronavirus, which in one way or another may impact many of us, is not okay... but a post about how you've decided to run ALL your companies, which likely is relevant to no one but yourself, you've deemed to be important.

Bless your heart.

Uh oh.

Alright y'all. I've been looking at Terrains for a while. Should I take advantage of this deal GMC is throwing out there?

Former employer (Japanese company) actually had one. It took me a few years to muster up enough courage to try but they are actually really nice when you do. Especially if you eat a lot of Mexican in your diet.

That’s nuts!! Price gouging at its best!

I very much agree with this. But isn't this precisely the tactic many are using to frighten everybody, whether intentional or not? They're using speculation, opinion, very preliminary data, or data taken out of context. Of course, some are using false data or info. It's not helping.

No idea what percentage of media people are using projected numbers vs "current" (which is really lagged and maybe even worse) for mortality rates, but anyone even focusing on that is really missing the boat.

I have seen a lot of media talking about flattening the curve, not panicking over 1% immediate death rates. It is the free press's job to educate the public on this reality and I think they've done a good job of spreading the right message, despite the White House's (Dr. Fauci excluded) polticized narrative. The POTUS is finally getting it right, but it took weeks of talking with the experts and understanding Fauci and the rest wouldn't budge, even as recent as Friday. Better late than never.

I'm not sure how anything with a 1% mortality rate can be considered mild. And that's assuming it's *only* 1%.

Extremely is a stretch. It can be fairly mild, it can be severe.

1% is very low considering there is absolutely no vaccine for this virus yet.

Also, those mortality rates you are stating are highly inflated due to people who haven’t been tested who had no significant issues with COVID-19. Here is a better picture of the actual rates by age group.

Vets have literally been treating this disease in animals for years and have stated that it isn’t that big of a deal.

South Korea was tested extensively and is sitting at 1% with ~80% of their cases still unresolved. Death has been documented as late as 8 weeks after onset. I don’t believe that SK’s 1% is inflated, and it can only go up at this point.

This data was...extrapolated from 425 out of 80,000 cases? Even though China's raw number is near 4%. I don't understand their estimate, unless they are estimating far higher numbers (multiples) of positive patients. Wish they had more info. Hopefully 1.4% really is as low as the true rate.

"In a rare piece of good news about Covid-19, a team of infectious disease experts calculates that the fatality rate in people who have symptoms of the disease caused by the new coronavirus is about 1.4%. Although that estimate applies specifically to Wuhan, the Chinese city where the outbreak began, and is based on data from there, it offers a guide to the rest of the world, where many countries might see even lower death rates.
...
The better news involves fatality rates. To calculate those, the researchers used data from Wuhan, especially the age distribution of 425 early cases and 41 early fatalities there."

No less pointless than trying to keep tabs of how many people have the virus/or have died in Italy.

Some of us are still trying to keep things going...here...in this country.

But hey, you keep doing you.

I personally think it’s very selfish of you, companies like yours (and mine) that still run. All you care about is the dollar you are still chasing, with no regard of your employees. One of our employees tested positive and is at one of our bigger plants that everyone goes to once a day. Instead of closing it down to sanitize everything, they want it a secret that only managers know about. Unbelievable.
