Covid-19 stupidity

[Vaquero]

We need more people to stay at holiday inn.

Aw, come on!

I've always said "ignorance is bliss".
That's why I'm always so happy.....


ETA:Ninja'd.

Hahahahaha! Didn't realize I was panicking

I try to avoid panic, because it's impossible to get the timing right. For almost all of the 13.5 billion year lifespan of this universe it has been either too soon or too late for panic to be a useful response.

But since you felt comfortable giving me advice, I shall return the favor. Either learn the science or listen to people who know it. Ignorant bliss is just as bad as panic.

You still have not justified your million cases to come in the US number.

I will put my knowledge of science up against yours any day of the week. And from the looks of things, it would not be much of a challenge. { Happen to have a degree in applied science from a world renowned university.}

Obviously there's been no emergencies for a LONG time....

 

[Lunyfringe]

I'll just leave this here

 

[oldag]

Forget the virus.

Buy stock.

China only has 80,000 cases. Even if they are only reporting half, that is a LONG way from a million.

Stop panicking.

We are only a few days from a million.

As they say "Your posts will not age well". I doubt they will make it to April 1.

US based cases are about to skyrocket.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

And I still don't know anybody that is sick....

March 18, 2020:

Worldwide: 215,568 cases, 8894 deaths

They do not know either.

Per WHO (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/influenza-(seasonal)):

“[flu] Illnesses range from mild to severe and even death. Hospitalization and death occur mainly among high risk groups. Worldwide, these annual epidemics are estimated to result in about 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness, and about 290 000 to 650 000 respiratory deaths.

In industrialized countries most deaths associated with influenza occur among people age 65 or older.”

Covid-19 has some work to do to catch up to that.

This went beyond stupid weeks ago. Now it's fear feeding upon fear.

So you have a degree. That's soo cute!

I never claimed there WOULD be a million cases, I merely explained mathematically how we might get there. FWIW, I will bet you a hamburger and a coke that the US will have way more than one million infected people. No reason to panic, just use common sense and try to flatten the curve.

Sorry, if you think that China is even close to telling the truth then you're a special kind of stupid.

Half the damn country could have died and they would not report it as it would cause them to lose face.

BINGO!

I didn't congregate in large groups of people, or visit venues that had large groups of people before Coronavirus. So I see no reason now to change my way of doing things!

I'm not a social type person, and really don't care for most people to begin with.

Did you read the part about "Even if they are only reporting half, that is a LONG way from a million."??

Apparently not. Read again before posting that kind of crap.
