Coronavirus (No politics)

[NorthDallas40]

I have talked to several friends this evening in various occupations, and the financial implications of our reaction to this are about to get real. Like, really real.

Again, I don't really know what to believe. Italy is a mess. I've heard from docs in Cali that it's bad there, too. Then, you read the analysis provided earlier, and you step back. I wish we had more conclusive evidence as to where the infection will actually go. I keep going back to China and wondering how the heck it affected such a tiny percentage of their population, yet we are bracing for a catastrophe.

Do you actually believe the current data from China? Is it validated by an independent source like the WHO or somebody?

They took extradinary measures like barricading people in their homes....things that wouldn't happen here....one equalizer might be that we are fighting it in a different season...it's already in the 80s and humid on the coast hopefully the rest of the country warms up soon and this virus reacts the same way as others...some early evidence..although small... supports that thinking

lt definitely seems like the virus is having a very difficult time gaining traction in warmer parts of the world, such as Singapore. I think we'll see a sharp decline in new cases once summer gets here

Virus is just a distraction.

Large asteroid will fly by the Earth next month, but won't hit us, reassures NASA

Only 3.9 million miles from us.

Again, looking for anything close to positive from this.

I think part of the reason it didn't affect a huge portion of China's population is because of the measures they took to suppress it. I feel like that is the trick in how much it spreads. Perhaps it could be catastrophic in terms of infections and deaths if we don't do enough, but it could be equally catastrophic to the economy. Just a really tough situation that we don't have enough info on to know anything for sure.

1st off China shut Wuhan province down completely. I saw a report that showed a drone carrying a temperatue reading device on humans that could actually detect humans with a high temperature. 2nd - S.Korea had a company, Seegan Corp. roll-out millions of test kits in 1 months time. Both country's located and isolated the virus it seems. The lack of test kits in the U.S. is our biggest problem, imo. A lot of people are positive and don't know it.

"This" shouldn't even really be a "this" in the first place.

You need to take "This" up with the Chinese.

Here is an article from one of my friends that has the Coronavirus if anyone cares to take a quick read.

Steve Wood, rector of Mount Pleasant's St. Andrew's Church, tests positive for coronavirus

Hope those people make a full recovery.

Our numbers we have now (15,219) are probably compareable to when China announced they had only 50 but was lying.

Look at highly capable countries that you trust...Germany, Israel. This thing is doing nothing there.

Encourage people to go live their lives as normal if they are healthy and below 60 and also have the ability to avoid people in those categories.

Are Germany and Israel making it through this? They doing ok?

Israel has 1 death in 883 cases. Germany is running about 0.3% mortality on about 20,000 verified cases last I checked.

Wow. Interesting. Wonder how their economies are doing?

Yea, me too.

Interestingly, I had been working with an Italian manufacturer for months on a prototype part I needed. Mid March was always my need date. The item arrived to me on time on an air shipment this week. I was kinda shocked.

Well, the younger parts of Italy have almost no cases and almost no deaths.

Saying "Italy" has a bad situation is correct... But not the whole truth. That's the problem with much of the coverage of this thing.

Ethnicity, age, and underlying health condition seem to be the main factors in the death rate.

Italy has been the worst hit for sure but 99.94% of their population doesn't have the virus

 

[ButchPlz]

Ethnicity, age, and underlying health condition seem to be the main factors in the death rate.

Which is basically identical to every other illness known to man.

 

[landscapingvol]

42% of US cases are in NY
58% are in NY/WA/CA

Considering Georgia has over 500 cases now, it isn’t just on the coasts anymore

Because they lied and continue to lie

Well, that's purely conjecture. The WHO team did not come to that conclusion, at all.

You do realize as a percentage of population both of those countries have far more cases than we do? Do you even read before you type?!

You throw around percentages in one post than use absolute numbers instead of percentages in another. Silly old man.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I totally agree. Why didn't Florida close the beaches? Oh , It's MONEY. Well let's see what that brings us all.

Tuaculum University student just tested positive for Covid after returning from spring break.

 

[landscapingvol]

Why would individuals who tried to get the truth out of China suddenly disappear? It isn’t purely conjecture, quit being naive. You do understand this is a government that killed millions of its own people during a 30 year stretch not that long ago
