Coronavirus

I’m suspecting an Oklahoma angle in here somewhere

 

Which two?

 

Which two?

 

Youre welcome

 

You and RainH2.

 

Really? Explain.

 

Iatrogenic... maybe I confused your posts with some of TheiiofTX. If you don't think this is just a cold, I owe you an apology and will deliver. Maybe it's only Theiis, Austin Bill and RainH2 who contend this virus in unexceptional and unworthy of a big fuss? Don't let me speak for you.

 

I am not stating that....necessarily.
I am using one of a bazzilion obvious examples this pandemic has presented to further demonstrate the hypocritical, agenda-driven, biased, politically-motivated, and wholly untrustworthy nature of the liberal news media (and many of our "leaders"). We cannot work together to solve problems (or understand there origins) because all a very powerful segment of our country cares about is getting to Trump.

And, I was also pointing out that, to many reasonable Americans, the reaction to and handling of this pandemic is much scarier than the virus itself.

 

For 80% of people who get it, it’s like a cold. I’ve never stated it was some sort of man made deliberate attack. If you don’t think there is unneeded hysteria, I suggest a visit to your local grocery store.

 

Would you also apologize if I don’t think it’s a weaponized virus? You could be wrong in assuming either.

 

Yeah there are many media... some of them wacky right wing fact-dismissing sort that really get a lot or links and posts in my Facebook feed. I think the Dallas Morning News and Channel 8 here in Dallas have been very responsible and fact driven.

 

Imagine if every water plant, power plant, farm, distribution center, grocery store, mnfg plant, lab, etc. shut down because 1 person became sick and the hospital refused to test the person. This happened to our lab. This is what the insanity has led to.

 

On the good news front, flu cases falling nicely and this is before the quarantines were in full effect.

 

You are almost famous for “congrats, you’ve got a cold”.

 

The more I read about the Congressional bills coming out in response, the less I like them

 

Will be posting cases for Italy and Iran. Recall Iran got the virus after China and Korea. Italy got it 4th. Note how the cases are bending on a log scale. Finally note that we really don’t need new cases to drop - just need for them to stop growing.

 

Iran participates in China's Silk Road trade program. Which means they have a large amount of Chinese travelers.
Also the first case in the country was reported in Qom, which is where their nuclear research areas and uranium enrichment plants are located. And so this is one of the areas the Chinese are thickest in Iran. It's also a pilgrimage area. So an easy originating spot for the virus to spread from.

Is any virus worth completely destroying our economy over?
The numbers are sounding very bad


Just for the record -- From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, according to the CDC,
-- 60.8 million Americans contracted H1N1
-- 274,304 US hospitalizations
-- 12,469 US deaths
The US economy was never shut down

I’ll own it. It’s true.

 

I’ve heard really smart people think this will end up as a world wide depression. If that does occur, more people will die from that than CoronaVirus.

 

OK, Israel had 250 cases, no deaths, with possibility of 50 more cases. Israeli pharmaceutical company has sent to US 5 million doses of possible vaccine with more promised.

Other than the obvious, what else am I missing?

 

Probably so, though indirectly rather than directly. So if anybody ever looks into comparing the two, their work will not get any mass media publicity.

 

This^^^^^^^^ tells us just about all we need to know about why this has been "treated" the way it has been

 

Just in case you need a refresher I wanted to put this video back to the top.

 

Our leaders need to quit the hysteria. Let's extend Spring Break a week or two tops and get back to living, with frequent building cleanings and hand washing.
