Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

Here's one of the biggest things I'm worried about, even more so than the virus itself. It's the human element. When you start seeing more stories like this pop up, you're going to see the crime rate spike. When folks can't get their free food for the kids, **** will hit the fan. Just is just one instance in a small part of the state, but let this happen in Macon or Atlanta and watch the **** show: Pulaski Co schools ending free meal program for kids due to one of the employees testing positive. Program suspended indefinitely. https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news...ckout/93-d994e4fb-e290-4265-a922-3b6b725e666c

yep.,, right. typing too fast. .007% of our population, rounded at 300 million is 2.7 million. that is an acceptable loss rate. hell with this virus. I'm having a party.

Ditto, and almost all of them are 80+ with cancer, diabetes and heart issues. The virus preys on decrepitude.

Excuse me? I didn't bring up Korea. I was using the "good" numbers that another denier used about Korea to point out it's still six times more deadly than the flu.

And speaking of the Flu. How deadly has it been to that same Italian population that is being devastated by Covid 19? Mortality in Italy is around 10%. What's the highest mortality rate the Flu has ever exhibited there?

And yet you used South Korea to support your position, all the while ignoring their current infection rate.

And I just gave you factual reasons for why Italy is suffering the way it is. What about Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and many other countries???

Can we stop infighting and get this thread back to sharing information, data, numbers and such so people can form their own opinions and/or at least just follow this thing?

which narrative you want? LOL The one where we all might die from the virus or the one where we all will die from the panic

Yes.

I have never seen or heard of "the flu" clogging up so many hospitals and medical workers running out of masks and respirators. Must be something worse than "just the flu".

Never heard of 700 people dying in one day in Italy because of the flu.

Seriously?

So let's party because it kills the old and weak?
