It’s just the flu, bro!
Where is Rand Paul in all of this? We need him to stand up for freedom here. I see cultural changes coming out of this - try going to work with a mild common cold six months from now.
This is not a big deal. I have had the flu about 3 times in my life and I never even thought about going to the doctor. Now people will be going to the doctor much more, and for much less.

I do think it’s more than the flu - it’s a highly contagious strain of apparently potential pneumonia. But don’t zot me.
San Francisco has 80 confirmed cases now. Zero dead. Half the hotels are closed. For this.
Young healthy people seem to rarely have any issues after contracting it. When young healthy people get the flu they get sick. People with severa preexisting conditions are dying who also happen to test positive for krona - cause of death is claimed to be Corona. This is disingenuous.
Good afternoon. I am tired of being badgered. I have prepped and I’m taking care of hubby and myself. Or, rather, we’re taking care of each other. I agree it really, probably,isn’t as bad as the hype and I am tired of being badgered.
Good God sonny...grow up.
I foresee a massive boom in HEPA filter retrofit projects, in hotels and office buildings everywhere (after this is over).
I don’t know how old you are but I’m 51 and rather immature.
And I agree with what you said so that REALLY means he has a lot of growing up to do.
Your bro,
Sancho
You may be too naive to recognize the the loss of personal liberty and the economic loss will be far worse than the suffering caused by the virus.
Never had pneumonia, eh? You’ll be in for a treat.
Death toll will be approximately the same as swine flu in 2009, but this government intervention will do the damage.
Did some research yesterday on death rates in Italy over the last century. Looks like a straight rocket up since 2014. Their society is aging out, quickly. Would be interested in matching the current numbers against the 5-year trend.
Like I said you will enjoy your first and maybe last bout of pneumonia, depending if there are enough ventilators by that time.
The Great Chinese Plague is effectively a virulent form of pneumonia. The Swine flu was a cake walk, and had the added advantage of being a naturally occurring virus.
Enjoy!
‘The Great Chinese Plague is effectively a virulent form of pneumonia.’
citation, please...
Bilateral interstitial pneumonia
Now using my phone.
When I get up later today, I’ll have my laptop in front of me and will link to a citation from greatgameindia’s covid 19 article.
One bout was enough for me.
In my early 30s.
Had both bacterial and viral - horrible both times. but the flubros will just shrug it off ...
Citation? are you for real? New to the topic are you? suggest you start by reading all the other corona threads.
3 trillion stimulus...
Estimated dead with social distancing =20,000
Estimated dead without social distancing = 40,000
Lives saved =20,000
Cost to save each life = 150,000,000
150 million to save a life BUT we will now have a severe recession/depression which will kill approximately 20,000.
So we have put 3 Trillion into a money pit.
