I don't get the Hysteria!

[Illini]

100 million? Seriously?? Do yo not look at things and what the numbers are in other countries, especially China.
Compared to China 81,000 confirmed cases, 3,200 deaths. Italy 28,000 confirmed cases, 2,158 deaths, Iran 15,000 confirmed cases, 853 deaths

Where are 100 million coming from, those numbers make absolutely zero sense.
Do people even read, research anything or do they all just listen to the "experts" giving their opinion?

People wake up!!! If China where this started, they were in a very bad situation only has 81,000 cases as of today, 3,200 deaths, and new confirmed cases are very, very low today to where things are normalizing there...

Please explain how are 100 million confirmed cases going to happen here??? Based off of the numbers and evidence from these other countries.
700,000-1.3 million dead??? People come on and use your brain!!!

Those numbers make absolutely zero sense if you truly think and analyze things...

People really need to wake the fuck up and use their fucking head and do some critical thinking for themselves...
This country has a bunch of useless, fucking idiots who can't think in the most simplest terms at all
No wonder you lose gambling....

China beat it because they locked everyone in their apartments. We actually have no idea what their numbers are since they can’t be trusted. Yes, I’ve researched and read that 96 million and 480,000 deaths in the US is one estimate. How would I have any idea if this is true or not? Better yet, how would you?

My brother has been following this shit extensively since late Jan and everything he’s predicted has come to pass. This shit has just begun.

Also, don’t be a fucking asshole. It’s a bad look. I’m sure you’re the best gambler on this site and all because you say so.

 

[Illini]

No, if you are sick right now - it could easily be this thing - stay the fuck home

I’m not sick. Was just posing that question for the people that are saying it’s no big deal and we should be playing all sporting events now.

Whatever the final amount of cases this ends with , this can't be the norm in the future.. No way we can shutdown the economy again like this..

Okay, forget China.

Right now South Korea has 8,320 cases and 81 deaths - less than 1% death rate. The reason for the lower % is they are testing more than anyone (over 300,000 tests), hence the most accurate and predictable death % for this virus.

Less than 1% is called the flu.

Not that I'm trying to handicap this like it is a football game but I am curious to see how UK fares with that. Seems like no other country is taking anywhere close to the herd immunity approach.

Looks like the Dutch are opting for the "herd immunity" strategy:

No we can’t. Nor have we ever. It’s just odd

No one has the “right” answer on how to handle this now as we’re already going down the rabbit hole

I do know one thing, we have created a bad precedent...what do we do with the next virus???

If there isn’t an immediate quarantine of the originating country the pitch folk wielding mob will go bonkers....right..:think2:

 

[flashmo]

Maybe if the fucking Congress would have done something about this in Jan and Feb...oh, wait...all they were thinking about was a bogus impeachment..that fails...now on to the next crisis to get rid of the President...and they don't care who they hurt or who dies..as long as they can wreck the economy all is good in their world

Not for the first 2 to 3 months!! The virus was virtually unknown and left to spread, and it infected 0.11% of the population. This is not an estimate but actual facts of what has occurred.

Me either. I went to get sunflower seeds to chew and was overwhelmed with the bare shelves , again I was at a convention last week and it was calm and normal life. May be different now but was no panic. I’ve had meetings in San Diego , Atlanta, Miami and Chicago canceled between now and middle of May

Drastic times calls for necessary measures

Hold on... that's 2-3% of those infected, not the population. Current rate of infection in Italy right now is 500/1m.

Moreover, if millions are walking around with this virus and don't even know it (why would anyone bother testing if they are practically symptom free?) that would make the death rate MUCH lower than 2-3%...probably right in line with other respiratory viruses, aka the flu.

In the US, 80,000 deaths is a bad flu season. Worth shutting down the economy?

Face it, the politicians causing all this havoc and upheaval all over the world are not too bright. Chief blame goes to Italy's hug-a-Chinaman PM, who frankly in my opinion is responsible for all this social media-induced hysteria and upheaval.

Is Tom Hanks dead yet? Asking for a friend.

”millions are walking around infected and don’t even know it.”

”that would make the death rate much lower than 2-3%.”


Lmfao I’m sorry to laugh but you are very confused and should stop talking. I can’t believe you just said that and people aren’t correcting you or calling you a fool.

Most important thing we can do right now is educate ourselves if we haven’t yet. Means klan members, turn off fox news. Read a book, read a health article on coronavirus . Learn. Teach yourself.

Reference #1 to the klan. It’s only 9:19.

I needed a couple good laughs this morning and got them. so thanks to Illini and Mobby

Illini typing "I've researched" is comedy gold
Mob going with "teach yourself" explains a lot

go get some Charmin, boys

Basically if you have preexisting health concerns....this virus will come along and wipe you out much quicker
