I will admit that I am giving in to the panic a bit but I think I have good reason since my son (and his roommate at the home) could be devastated if they got it. What good does self quarantine do if people ignore that shit and go around coughing and sneezing on everyone anyways.

Trump is a flubro confirmed
I think it is fine for a GAF poster to say things like this but not for our POTUS
he is going to get a lot of backlash for that from the do nothing DEMs. It will look very badly if things get worst this is the wrong line to play it during an election year. He has an easy win ahead but should not place bets on the just a flu line.

Trump is just not an intelligent person. He's too concerned about the markets, which are swinging poorly now due to oil. Like dude, solve the problems.

I think I am starting to agree with WHO on the P word. From their perspective if they say Pandemic it means we have chosen to just let this ride and just live with it. What they want to to contain it and kill it off, not just let it carry on and accepting old people dying for years to come.

I’m unable to watch the video now, but what’s the logic? To recommend against buying during a dip is basically to state that you don’t think the stock market will recover in time for you take advantage of your investment... which is crazy unless you’re already really old or are only interested in big short term gains, no?

Recovering from coronavirus illness can take up to "six weeks," WHO official says
From CNN's Jacqueline Howard
It can take several weeks to fully recover from illness caused by novel coronavirus, Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of Health Emergencies Programme at the World Health Organization, said during a briefing on Monday.

I think that ship has already sailed now. This is here to stay.
You'd have to imagine that there have been hundreds of thousands of undiagnosed cases where people have had the mild symptoms and just didn't bother getting tested or going to the hospital etc.
It's all about reducing the stress on infrastructure for now.
Probably a big element of what we see is also down to governments trying to avoid blame by looking like they are doing something.

Maybe people would take it more seriously though if they actually labeled it a pandemic?
Its in my town, they just shut down the school district due to one kid having a family member who tested positive. Before that, there were multiple cases as close as 20 miles away from here and several of my co workers live in that town.....nobody at my work is taking it seriously at all.

Yeah it's already here. Now it's all about managing it and riding out the wave is how I see it. Trying to get a grip and not let fear mongering or media control you.

Lots of strange dealings with this Coronoa virus as shown
Very skeptical. People live streaming on the news who have it from the very hospital they are locked in, laughing and clearly showing no real symptoms, meanwhile the flu is killing at a faster pace.
Suspicious.

I think it is like someone standing in front of a 20 feet wave coming straight at them and telling it to go left and demanding it to follow the command. This just a flu thing is going to just a flu our asses for years to come. We will have the vaccines by then but it will be around picking us off and it will mutate. I think that is what the WHO knows but cannot say because of 'Panic'
I think the word use to mean something, but if the WHO says it, nations may shift focus and do less to stop it. Some are already doing not much at all. To the WHO the way they are talking about it, it is a give up word.
But like S Saruhashi said, it very well may be too late and the WHO just does not want to say it is too late.
Waiting for that Vaccine, until then wash your hands, don't shake hands. be mindful of elevator buttons I guess.

Dementia?
The issue with covid 19 is not the death rate (although it is higher than flu). The issue is that nobody has immunity which means it can spread much more widely. On top of that it is easily transmitted so a lot of people could have it at the same time.
If too many people get it all at once healthcare systems will get overwhelmed and the death rate will increase.
Delaying it means that the number of cases at the same time is more manageable which will lead to much better outcomes this time next year.

90%+ of people that get this will not be seriously harmed. PERIOD.
But if 10,000,000 contract this, and 5-7% of them have severe symptoms, that's 500,000 ICU beds that we'll need. This country only has 93,000 ICU beds presently.
THAT'S the real danger.
Once again, MOST PEOPLE WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES from this virus. It'll be a simple cold that can be treated with chicken soup and Sprite. But if 10,000,000+(only .025% of our population) have it simultaneously, our hospitals will be overrun.
It is a major problem.

For sure.
I was watching a video on the other thread and the guy is saying like 20% of cases have no symptoms.
But he's taking that as the % of confirmed cases. WTF?
Like if you have no symptoms then why would you even go to get tested?
Obviously outside of "contact with someone who was infected" or "traveled to or from a known hotspot".
Similarly for mild symptoms, which is 80%.
Would people even bother to go and get tested?

Over 1 million people have the flu presently just in America. The flu death toll is already much higher world wide than Corona will ever see, nobody is freaking out over ICUs.

- is is not a FACT that the death rate is higher.. the true death rate will be revealed much later as people understand more
- FACT - it is LESS contagious than the flu
agree with your last statement

Yeah, one is actually a threat that constantly has changing DNA and is is predicted to soon become really hard to treat, and another is some small virus that barely does anything but is somehow causing people to panic and attack any person that coughs for more than 4 seconds.

New York is making its own hand sanitizer using prison labor
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced today that the state will attempt to combat "price gouging" and a shortage of hand sanitizer by making its own.
Cuomo said at a press conference that the hand sanitizer will be made by Corcraft, a company that operates in the state's prison. The company employs inmates to produce products like household cleaners and tables and chairs.
He said they are aiming to make "100,000 gallons" a week.
Cuomo said New York's hand sanitizer will be "75% alcohol" and added that the smell has a "floral bouquet."
He said the product will not be sold on the open market at this time. It will be made available in schools and prisons.

Is there a point here? All you're doing is confirming it's overblown and nowhere near as dangerous as the flu, or coming close to the current death toll caused by it. It should have treatment yes but the Media acting like this is worse than the flu or Ebola level is bull.

We've had ~12 deaths from the coronavirus in the US so far. 20,000 from the flu. Why aren't we forcibly quarantining flu suspects?

Hand Sanitizer is not a real soap or germ killing solution, it's a mix of random chemical garbage which is why top people in medicine don't use it, it won't protect you from any virus and some can get into the bloodstream after constant heavy use day by day. Use real soap, we have absorbing soap these days. Check the ingredients.

This is what THEY are not telling you.
It is called mind control powers, this virus has mind control powers the flu has nothing on it. It came from a meteorite through a batcave into some bat poop, long story I'll break it down in my next video upload follow my youtube channel.
look at this
New York City transit chief: "If you can get around without riding the subway, do it"
From CNN's Taylor Romine
The head of New York City's public transit system is advising anyone with health issues to avoid taking the subway, if they can.

Italy doesnt even have that many deaths, let alone last week
I still worry about India the most. Hope they are isolating like crazy.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Skepticism about that number aside, China also took far more drastic measures than Italy. They went full martial law in Wuhan, making people go through checkpoints, cycle their gloves & masks, sign off on a sheet so they knew who was coming/going out of the neighborhoods. It was some Half-Life 2 shit, but for a good cause.
Even the WHO today acknowledged that cases in China were dropping. Its not in their interest to downplay something like that, so I believe them.
