Corona virus fatigue

[legion]

It's all a load of BS in my opinion. The media has finally found the hook for manipulating the masses. This is 100% about the election next year and has nothing to do with health.

Alex Jones much?

He fell off the paranoia tree and hit every branch on the way down.

This morning:

That's a great gun store. Why are people hoarding guns? Do they plan on shooting the sick people before they can infect them?

What, just because the CV death rate is tiny by comparison to seasonal flu?

Yeah, sounds right.

How do we ever go outside with that norm?

it is highly likely that the covid-19 death count will exceed seasonal flu

epidemiological modelling using no mitigation in the US produce 1 to 2 million deaths

that's worst case, and mitigation is already under way

H1N1 killed 12000.

300000 hospitalized.

[island911]

yep, per wikipedia around 700 million–1.4 billion people, contracted the illness world wide.

People fatigued already? We are just getting started people.

As of tonight the largest county in Wa state (King) has ordered all bars and restaurants closed except for takeout. No groups larger than 50 state wide. New York is doing the same. It will get worse before it gets better, so hold the whining for a few months, then you will have a real reason.

[island911]

This reaction is bigger than 9/11/2001

That's just not right.

Massive manipulation.

When watching the tube.....I've been watching alternative programming. Mostly old westerns. Lots to choose from - The Virginian, Gunsmoke, Alias Smith and Jones, Bonanza, The Big Valley, Laredo, Rawhide, The High Chapperal, and Wanted Dead or Alive just to name a few.

Tonight after the debate ended I went for a ride on my Honda XL175. Only passed 3 cars over a 15 minute ride. Really nice out too.

Watching news programs right now is off the charts hysteria......

Dunno, maybe they have done so badly on the stock market they are selling guns to buy food

[island911]

Just think of all the wait staff and support that will be out of a job. And why? Yeah, they likely are selling stuff.

Yeah, King should be walled off before the zombies escape.

I don't own one but last time I checked, TV's still had an on/off button? Self inflicted?

I mean the fear mongering... it is over the top.

I thought I was safe when I checked the weather - even the damn weather sites have CV stories (good news, it dies off faster in warm climate)

Anyway, I'm sick of the hysteria.

I suspect a lot of parents of grade-school kids must be pretty pissed that their daycare went away.

The hysterical reaction to supplies is getting old too.

This just in, our gov just shut down health clubs.

And why? Because he wants chaos.
