The "virus" What are your thoughts

Wife teachers a cyber class. Yeah I know, oxy-moron here. It's for kids that are supposed to do cyber study but have been too lazy to do their work so they come in to school to do cyber study...lol. Anyway, her and her kids can do their work from home. She emailed the Superintendent right after I typed that and sounds like she will be able to continue from home and get paid but the majority of the school employees will not get paid. She is going in tomorrow to talk to him and get some stuff from her desk but she will verify for sure tomorrow.
 
Lots of opinions about how bad this virus is here in this forum.

If people simply looked at the numbers vs media hype and the doom-n-gloom hopeful there wouldn’t be a run on toilet paper.

The mortality rates are dropping quickly as more people get tested positive w little to no symptoms and headed below 1%.

Not my opinion just the stats.
 
The percent of deaths has Covid-19 out pacing all of the ones you mentioned. The problem with Covid-19 you can have it and are contagious for 2 weeks before you know that you have it. Children for some reason get milder cases of Covid-19 this makes them ideal carriers to spread the disease.
None of us have lived through a world pandemic like this before the last was 1918.
People now seem to be buying enough supplies to lay low for a month or two, hard to blame them for that. This is all new territory for us.

In reality the percent of speculation is the only reality behind the Corona scare. The testing date is incomplete and at best inaccurate. Anyone who thinks the Chinese reporting is accurate is a fool. They are lying to their subjects and to the world to get the masses back to work to salvage the current regime. The US government response has been a clusterfuc*k. Politics aside Trump has not shown leadership. Leadership in the US is coming from the state and local levels. Right or wrong local governments are acting. Businesses are also acting. Again, right or wrong. This whole mess will be dissected down the road. I predict it will end up being a media inspired mass hysteria that caused a sharp but short lived recession.

The WHO, CDC, and other clinical officials are on the ground in China.

The numbers are no longer “theirs”.

Typical hysteria exhibited in tour post.

I agree with your comments on China and Trump. He has another news conference at 5:00 today Sunday 15th. Only time will tell us about the death toll and the percentage. We are a month to two months behind Europe. England doubled its death rate yesterday and reported another 300+ cases. Hopefully we have reacted quick enough to no see the death rate that Europe has but but only time will tell.
The global trade and the lack of that trade will hurt the stockmarket but with about 40% of Americans in the market the majority are not directly hurt.
 
We can all make it thru this crisis IF the public would just calm down. There is no need to panic.And leave some TP for the rest of us.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — While the coronavirus pandemic has led authorities around the globe to cancel concerts and sporting events, and even shut down daily activities in some places, Mexico City is going ahead with Vive Latino — one of the most important music festivals in the country.

Some acts backed out, but tens of thousands of music fans flocked on Saturday to the first day of the festival, which still expected Guns N’ Roses, Carlos Vives and Zoe to be among its headliners. Organizers said more than 70,000 tickets had been sold for each of the festival’s two days.

Concerns about the new COVID-19 illness were evident, though. At the entrance, the usual security checks for such events had a new filter: Each person entering was checked for fever and a strong smell of antibacterial gel permeated in the air.

Looks like a crowd of dumbasses to me......
 
and that's why we don't have toilet paper... dunbasses are everywhere
So I have to ask this, Do you think Dr. Anthony Fauci is full of BS when he said today that americans need to be ready to hunker down????
 
I went to see my cardiologist thurs for a follow up after an ICD implant, he said, and I quote, "Stay away from crowds" He trained at the MAYO clinic BTW, he also knew that my wife had a total colectomy done a few years back, i.e. large intestine removed , looked at her and said, "same for you as well", I'll take his advice over any wanna be doctor on this site.....

Typical nonsense from the Capitan who claims to be in the health profession but needed to learn from Club Sea Ray that his son had a stomach bug. I'm glad you believe the WHO. Perhaps you should write them for info on e coli. FYI, the CDC is not on the ground in China.

How's traffic on Lake Norman today Jim, just took a spin in my little jon boat an it was busy out.
 
With the shortage of TP, perhaps the next home improvement craze will be bidets or the toilet seats that do the cleaning for you.
