This.
.00006% of China's population infected. Great way to spread panic across the entire world, and destabilize the economy.
Wouldn't surprise me if the dems paid China to spread it.
I'm 61, in the old folks range. I traveled to Texas during February, wasnt woried one bit about it. Swine flu, sars, bird flu, h1n1, we all survived. Don't freak out.
Everything about this post is so wrong, I sincerely hope you are not as deluded as this post makes it seem

Well, Canada is at least basically half closed as of today.

As for some of the more jaw dropping posts that I hope were just trolling...

This (as has been pointed out) is in no way whatsoever the flu. It is SARS-cov-2, AKA COVID-19, AKA Coronavirus.

There are no cures or vaccines for ANY of the corona family viruses.

The first SARS/MERS outbreaks had a VERY high mortality rate so they burned themselves out very fast.

The statistics being created by Italy's experience indicates an upper threshold of mortality of 3.8%, mostly of older and immuno-compromised people. The rates in the most developed of the western nations seems to be 2% or lower. However, the "common" flu has an average mortality rate of only 0.1%. This means that if the infection rate for COVID accelerates to the pace of a flu, millions of dead are not out of the question. 0.1% vs just 2% is a 20x increase in aggregate counts. So if a flu season can kill 40,000 in the US per year, then a full burn COVID epidemic within the US means not 400,000 but 800,000 people could die. There is also the issue of likely x2 the dead that will need hospital level care or at least GP intervention and some degree of medication for the secondary issues that accompany these things. Namely, pneumonia. Which is also what usually kills flu victims as well as most of the COVID victims.

The joke name for this outbreak is Boomer Doomer and for a good reason. All us under 50 people are likely to survive perfectly fine after an infection but our parents and those at or above 60 that get this have, so far from the numbers, a 1 in 6 chance of death if they contract COVID.

This is not to be trivialize, otherwise that boomer to Gen X transition of wealth is going to start happening a LOT sooner than originally scheduled.

I get to work from home and am spoiled in that regard but for the love of pete, reduce the interactions of your disparate circles of interaction. The goal of all this "flatten the curve" nonsense is to actually prevent exponential growth that happens from the "6 degrees of separation" that are even fewer when you don't have to account for KNOWING the person.

Be safe, be smart and be compassionate.

6 counties in SF Bay Area are now on "Shelter in Place," which I believe is one level lower than a lockdown (though I may be wrong).

Whats "deluded" about it?

THOUSANDS die EVERY year from the Flu and nothing gets shut down.
Over 500,000 people died from the Swine Flu outbreak world wide and nothing was shut down.

WHY are they shutting down stores and schools for this mild (for the majority of people) virus when they don't shut down everything for the Flu or other outbreaks???

Is it a coincidence this is a election year??

Maybe some people WANT the economy to tank to try to make someone look bad who they couldn't remove from office!!

I wonder how some people still manage to find reasons to believe in the apocalyptic threat or devilish nature of this virus while it already apparently fizzled out in China.
I know.... sure, China lies, :rolleyes1: but can they actually be hiding tens of thousands of deaths? What's even more funny, some number of folks tend trust most of the things China does and says, just not their published epidemic statistics.:dunno:
Many of the common sense precautions applied today should actually apply to any seasonal virus including the flu and the colds. None of these diseases is 100% reversible in 100% of people. Each can lead to pneumonia. It was never just fine to risk catching them, even before the famous Wuhan virus.

The posting is about awareness. I've said in conversation with people a dozen times already, there is no need to panic - just be responsible.

The answer is super simple. The reason everything is being shut down to prevent spread is because we have no idea yet if this is just an influenza-level illness or a black plague. It's precautionary based on its serial time, which was recently updated to 2-14 days. Influenza's serial time is only 3-days, so you know you're sick relatively soon and infect a lot less people. With COVID-19, you don't know you're sick for so long and infect many more people, and that is why it's spreading so fast.

Because coronavirus has an estimated R0(R0 indicate how contagious a disease is) of 2.2 You're average flu (influenza) has a R0 of 1.3. Swine flu has a R0 of 1.4~1.6.

You're regular flu isn't going to shut down anything because we have a cure for it.

If you're going to want to talk about people in office. The current guy in office cut the pandemic team in 2018.

Well then, you heard it from the other side. Trump wants everyone to get infected and die. Panic for the rest of your life.

Honda Civic 10th gen Coronavirus... 0C19A1B1-5513-4A10-B534-C8467C855193
Well... my wife had a nice day during the kid’s first day of summer vacation.

I just got some of the property behind my house cleared and have an appointment next week w/a pool installer to get one put in the backyard. Screw it. If I’m cancelling my spring break vacation (Fontana... we were probably bouncing over to Dollywood for one day... some other stuff) and summer could be on the ropes (whether travel is still restricted or they do some summer school to make up this school year) I’m going to get a pool and make the most of it.
