Young guy 40’s?

6 dead, and 36 still serious/critical from that cruise.

Glad he is doing fine.

And in the same time frame how many died from the Flu?

I know, never let a good crisis go to waste

Right?

A funny this happened on the way to documenting Coronavirus information over
the last 48 hours.

14 new nations popped up with 1 case. If you go out to 72 hours you can pick
up about five more.

All of a sudden, it’s as if someone is beating the bushes to bump up the numbers
of nations with this virus.

Over a month into this, and these 14-19 nations all found their first case in
a 48 to 72 hour window.

That looks odd to me.

it's not the scary thing that everyone thinks it is

I have heard the same thing from people who survived all kinds of possibly fatal experiences - horrific crashes, fierce close quarters gun fights, air combat in the second world war, terrorist bombings, and serious illnesses.

We read about a Freeper who decided to climb onto the back of a bear attacking his dog to slit the bear's throat a few years ago. He probably thought that wasn't too scary either after it was all over.

How about across the US where annual deaths from typical flu is in the thousands?

Note that no one talks about this, just breathlessly going on about the newest one

Because it’s 20 times deadlier that the flu and there is a chance to stop it or slow it down.

Coronavirus is one form of the common cold but it does have some differences, however, it is still the same class of virus. It won’t be radically different. People usually do not die from the common cold but from secondary infections such as pneumonia.

No, it is not. You need to stop believing everything you read on the Internet.

The flu kills 0.1%.
The US at last report had 68 cases of Coronavirus and 1 death from it. That’s a 1.5% rate. And only 7 of the 68 have recovered, so we might have more deaths in that group. Hope not.

Do the math 1.5%/.01% = 15 times more likely. But that’s a better experience than most other nations with more than few cases have seen.

How Covid-19 kills the patient. What’s really weird is how some people can have, carry, and spread the virus but never feel any serious symptoms. Then there’s the re-occurrance factor not normally seen in virus infections.

I just viewed a video with ta man who has been diagnosed with it and he seemed quite lucid

It is not sweeping through the country, not even close to the Flu strain that The US had early last century

I was out and about today in an area highly populated by older/retired folks

Have yet to see a mask on any of them and none of them are hunkered down, social activity meter is normal and cars all over...

Just another day

What do they know that others do not??

Wisdom comes with Age, and following the latest fads and fancies is for others

In the aggregate this has absolutely none of the “pandemic” wildfire nature to it, no matter how hard the Media fans the flames and many breathlessly follow it

Make your choice, I have

Nice sunny day, sittin outside and not worrying or cryin

Choose
