@Conor McGregor nut holder I got to work in half the time. Parking lot is relatively empty
We'll see.
The mortality rates aren't accurate as we have no idea how many people have actually had it.
When the suggestion if you get it is just wait it out at home and it will pass, yeah - it's a flu bug. It's not a death sentence.
Look at this jackass.
It's like I'm living your life.
I feel Iike I'm inside you. Deep inside you.
Amazing
I agree. What I am saying is that downplaying it by comparison is a mistake. We can make it less worse than the flu, by seeing it as potentially worse than the flu.

I would send you a photo but I feel like my descriptions have sufficed thus far
I don't mean to downplay it. I know containing the spread is important. But with the rest of the nation running around with their fucking hair on fire acting like this is the end of times I can't help but downplay it.

From a thread on conditions on the ground for care workers in the U.S.
It's 50% min more contagious than the flu travelling round a population with no herd immunity or proper treatment. It might only have a fatality rate of 0.6% to 1%, but when it has the potential to infect millions then that's alot of deaths. Death rate will increase if health systems are overwhelmed causing patients that could be saved to die through lack of beds or ventilators. How we handle the spread will determine how many people die.Tell me how I'm wrong.

Supposed to start working 10 mins ago. Still waiting around for the meeting to start.
Because in our lifetime we haven't seen anything spread as quickly as this. And we can bring AIDS in the discussion and all the other contagious afflictions, we can't deny the damage it's already has done. The unknowns about this virus should not be cause for panic, but definitely cause for action.
People freak out because the media was to loud, and the government was to quiet.
I agree with all that.
But the media having everyone in a tizzy about this is likely what is overwhelming healthcare facilities.
If you get it, bunker down and it will pass. Stay away from old people. Hundreds of thousands of people running to hospitals causes more harm than good, and it's usually completely unnecessary.
The guy is right, but it has nothing to do with political affiliation. Stupid people on both sides, having downplayed this. Any comment including political affiliation is nothing but politicizing this which is as bad. It's divisive, which is not what we need. The CDC and FDA have failed us, and I don't regard them red or blue, but government.
Except they've consistently lied about their numbers since day one.
That's not accounting for the fact people are most infectious when not showing symptoms early and many don't show symptoms or are very small. Leads them to become super spreaders. 80% of South Korea's cases can be traced back to one patient, patient 31.
