You mean like happens pretty much every flu season?

Run its course?

Do you think people will just become immune to it in 9 months somehow? The measures being taken, restricting travel, closing schools and businesses slow down the spread, they do not stop it spreading.

And why? Because he wants chaos.

Travel should be banned.

None of the walking sick in the two counties should be allowed out.

IIRC 40 of the 42 deaths in this state came from the same nursing home.

The first responders to those early cases just got done with their quarantine. None sick.

Yet people feel the need to freak out.

Why?

Because the Faceplant circle jerk knows so?

Do they like looking like little Pollyanna freaks?

What happened to Land of the Free, Home of the Brave ?

You seem to have a lot of energy and time. How about you go freely and bravely volunteer to take care of some of these people instead of this crap. Or take care of someone or something beyond your keyboard. Maybe get involved in something to help. Take some respiratory therapy classes or go to nursing or med school or something other than offer up opinions. Jeebus.

That's just not right.

Massive manipulation.

to be fair.. Corona has a much bigger impact on the US population and economy.

9/11 was a big slap in the face
but people got angry and for the most part the US, other then NYC, went back to work the next day

This is more like a kick in the nads where you don't really have the ability to do much other then roll around holding yer nuts wishing for it to go away..

A lot of people cannot go back to work, and not even if they wanted too.
This will hurt a lot of small businesse and people with low income.
There isn't much support for those who run into financial problems because of this.

in Europe we have economic unemployment (minimum wage or % of former wage, depending) status for those people who can't work due to closed business. and the small businesses also get various support if they are forced to close down

Don't get me wrong it will still have an impact, but it's dampened a bit

If a restaurant is forced to close in the US, will a single mum waitress still have some kind of income in the US?
Probably not.. So that will hurt bad for those people..
with 9/11 there was shock, but no loss of income across the various states.

The number of bks in America are going to skyrocket...and there in lies a problem for banks who are going to have write off all that debt.

Las Vegas is now CLOSED.

WYNNand ENCORE closed...a bunch of others are curtailing operations.

Poker rooms,.sports books, shows and restruants..

Your life is changing on a dime...think of the ramifications of this ripple effect as a tsuami.

Think of the jobs lost, the bks foreclousures and the stress it applies to banks. Then the govt will have to step in to keep people from starving and being homeless..remember most Ameticans can not weather a 1000 crisis. The deficit could go to 2T..

I dont believe that an already markedly declining economy will be able to pick itself up again. A lot of money is being printed, interest rates are going negative..the FED will buy Equities to keep them from collapsing and with it the Pension Funds, Annuities etc

If you take a look at how civilizations collapse it is from multiple causations..a desth by a 1000 cuts. War pestilence plague natural diasters and decling economic fortunes..

Quite frankly you sound like a liberal in denial...only you have CORONA DERANGMENT SYNDROME..


The problem is the overwhelming surge of people who will need critical care. If you have 10m infected where you need 100,000 beds and you.only have 50000 beds...that means 50000 dont get care where a large percentage who could have been saved will die.

It is not so much how deadly it is it is how fast it can spread that makes it much more lethal.

I think as people get used to the risk/ danger/ fatalities/ consequences of COVID-19, and see people they know and read about others recovering, they'll choose to go on with life but in a sensible way.

By June or even earlier, we will have taken a measure on what long term life will be like with the virus. People will still be getting very sick and dying, but what other choice do you have other than go on living? It's like the line in "The Grapes of Wrath", something to the effect that you're not being brave if you don't have any other choice than to keep on going. Yeah, this is tragic. But you have to live until you die.

So don't do what the Italians did? Yeah, we are not. I've been in and out of a lot of local hospitals these days. And as much as people want to project fears, that scenario is simply not going to happen.

uh huh..

Again, Seattle's East-side is ground zero of CV19 in the US. One particular nursing home. Again, the first responders to those early cases just got done with their quarantine. None sick.

The VAST MAJORITY of those infected are minimally symptomatic. And that is considered a problem for spread. --just like it is EVERY flu & cold season.
Healthy young Mary walks into Senior Living center; "it's ok gram, my sniffles, it's just allergies, I think. Hey, you'll be 85 next week."

[island911]

tabs, the CORONA DERANGMENT SYNDROME is with the Pollyannas shutting down any business that they can.

Considering how many people live paycheck to paycheck... The problem here will be the PO'd people told that their livelihood has been taken away because of FEAR.

A couple years ago people in the US were dying at a rate of 1 every 12 seconds. Now, with a larger population and with more and more boomers going into advanced age that number is 1 every 8 seconds, or less.

Every year the flu season pushes at risk people over that edge. This is the first year people have been FREAKING OUT over what happens every year, w.r.t. colds and flu.

Corona cold viruses are common though history. This hyper focus (obsession) is not.

Based on your knowledge and experience, too bad you weren't advising China from the beginning. Seems they really effed up.

I'm not MMQB'ing China. I'm saying that killing people's jobs will do more harm than good.

People need to be productive else all kinds of bad sht happens.

King county has majority of your infected with 420 confirmed cases.

Gotta ask why hasn't the entire county been locked down if the sky's really falling ?
