My understanding is that it is killing 1 to 6 percent of the confirmed cases, not the high percentages you give.

I don’t know how they are getting the closed case stat. Seems they aren’t closing the case or including it in that stat for most if the people who don’t die.

Have seen an article on line that the real Wuhan rate was over 20 percent.

Perhaps running hand sanitizer, bleach or lysol spray through the fire sprinklers every 10 minutes would help?

It's basically a cold on steroids, potentially deadly to up to 20% of cases. Statewide government actions are simply premature, not necessarily imprudent in the long run. I'm fine with the NYC lockdown (local), for example. That place is getting rancid.

In the meantime, troll, feel free to watch this.

“The easiest and fastest way to find out if you have COVID-19 is to just cough in a celebrity’s face and wait for their test results to come back

I like this.

SK brings out a serological immunity test.
As I posted before, there’s a county in Colorado testing for immunity.

We’re about to learn a LOT about this virus!

The halt was lifted after about 30 minutes. Initially air traffic controllers were warned it could last several hours. https://t.co/drB0KBU8XU— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) March 21, 2020

Wu Flu! (When I’m feeling out of breath.)
Wu Flu! (When I’m feeling close to death.)
Wu Flu! (When I’m coughing and feverish . . .)

NOW this thread is properly juvenile.

Brilliant. You get into an accident and take up a hospital bed when it wasn’t necessary. Drive the bleepin’ speed limit.

Especially in construction zones!

Walmart needs to ban kids now. DH was there yesterday to fill a rx and rug rats running everywhere. One man said wife was sick of kids so he had to take them to the store, when asked to control his little curtain climbers. Stores are not a place for kids right now.

“The halt was lifted after about 30 minutes.

That’s interesting. Sounds like someone was overruled.

Agree. Kids shouldn’t be in stores.

Wife shouldn’t have had kids if she didn’t want to deal with them. She should have gone to the store.

“Stores are not a place for kids right now.”

If they are limiting people to 4 cans of food and one paper product per person, then you load the family up and on to Wally World you go.

I have a friend who likes to drive fast... real fast.

Even he is saying he has to back off a little bit, these days. With so little traffic, his only limiting factor is the speed of his car.

Since he drives a new Camaro with all of the go-fast options (except the racing slicks) that is too darn fast!

If one was filming some science fiction movie about an apocalypse now would be an excellent time no? At least to have deserted streets and all.

Banks starting to take more precautions.

Sioux City banks close their lobbies, restrict access due to coronavirus (Iowa, 3/20/20)
