Man, VN is a true resource. Where else can you find such brilliant luminaries with a firmer grasp of the “real” situation than the world’s leading Healthcare Officials, Politicians, & Businessmen combined.

It is truly breathtaking.

Even in the US leading state, 76 deaths out of 12241 cases (.62%). How far is that from normal flu numbers (I know, I know... this isn't the flu)?

I still can’t get my head around our reaction vs the actual numbers. Everybody that should know seems unanimously onboard, but....

 

[volbeast33]

Me either, but you do know this is killing the restaurant and hospitality industry?

Yeah I know

It's hard to believe this site is free. @Freak

Do you fap to this kind of thing or what?

Different leadership. Different regulations. Different workforce.

This is when not having a substantial number of machinists and tool and die makers in this country begins to reveal itself.

This virus has been a good thing at least in one respect. It has exposed the reason why we need to bring manufacturing back to this country and also why we need to be producing our drugs here and not in China.

Definitely a National Security issue.

Exactly

They may not be able to keep people inside much longer than that.

I enjoy staying home. It's pretty nice here.

You're welcome.

Death rate isn’t the only factor. Ease of transmission (aerosol transmission is possible) and incubation period are things that likely make this virus much more dangerous than a flu outbreak. No vaccine, no proven treatment, and no herd immunity are also things that factor into what differentiates this from more “normal” infections.

Blah blah blah. The world death total from months of this passed the equivalent of a week's worth of US only, heart disease deaths.

To be concerned about the reaction to all this is completely fair.

 

[Orangeburst]

One might consider the virus an invasion. FF must of forgot to mention pandemic in that paragraph.

Why I said debatable. Probably why they are calling this a "war".

What-about-ism contributes nothing to the conversation. If you disagree with anything I said, let me know.

I did a long time ago Mr. 7%.

Isn't this the case say in NYC right now? The courts are closed and a national emergency is in effect. It is debatably constitutional to suspend, but I aint liking it.

Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution states, "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."

I might be mistaken but I think federal prosecutions have different rules and shorter time frames to get those charged in front of judges than most state prosecutors do.

 

[hog88]

So why can't we get more hospital beds?

ACA

Hell you see it on this board

 

[hog88]

No way this is more significant than 9/11 to me as an American. That was a foreign entity choosing to attack us as opposed to a natural phenomenon that cannot be controlled. Worldwide this certainly has more impact but you said national so I say 9/11 was more significant. I know this isn’t over yet but to me much of this is an overreaction but nobody felt that way following 9/11.

This will impact our lives 100x more than 9/11. Government overreaction will dwarf that of 2001.

It really makes no sense.... during the H1N1 outbreak.... 57,000,000 Americans or 1 in 6 were sickened over a 9 month period....almost 27-29,000 were hospitalized per month and over 10,000 died in America...... the response wasn’t anywhere close to this.

New symptom being reported. Sensory loss of taste and smell.
