Good luck, man... stay safe

I read somewhere that the flu killed 3,000 between October and December 2019 in just the US. That's with vaccines and all kinds of other prep. Hmmm

I doubt it'll effect their work

Jeez... 26 deaths? Just the flu huh

You do realize that deaths of nursing home residents is not unusual? 11 of the deaths were not corona virus.

The ones that died from Corona likely had other severe health issues. I know in my mother's final days, she was in a nursing home. About 75% of the other patients had some type of COPD due to a lifetime of smoking.

Get something like corona virus loose in there and there will be many deaths. The flu likely took some of the 11 other deaths.

The media's number one motive is now: 1) still trying to get rid of Trump, and at a relatively distant second, 2) selling advertisements. Clicks lead to revenue.

Reactions to this are writing an episode to South Park.

FIFY. Media 'coverage' of the coronavirus and the stock market is just yet another chapter towards trying to get rid of Trump. Not saying at all the virus and markets are irrelevant, but they are focusing on doing everything they can to make Trump lose the election. This is just another issue they have been trying to pin on him since he was sworn in.

Yep, if they can go on about a fake Russian Collusion Hoax unabated for 3+ years with absolutely no evidence, and then ignore the evidence to the contrary (where the incumbent administration weaponized our intelligence community against a rival political campaign using a DNC funded oppo research to lie to FISA courts) when it is clearly proven to be true (after formerly selling this truth as a "conspiracy theory"), selling an new emerging flu-like disease like the neo-bubonic plague that is going to wipe out a quarter of Earths population is not beyond their reproach.

These people are lying scammers. Full stop.

Its not just death that should be sobering... its the possible permanent lung damage that is also a potential threat. It's not JUST about body count. This does have potential of having life lasting effects... even life shortening effects.

Italy planning mass lockdown

MILAN - The Italian government is planning to lock down 16 million people more than a quarter of its population including in Milan, the surrounding Lombardy region and 11 neighboring provinces, in the most sweeping steps any European country has prepared to take against the coronavirus epidemic.

We'll see if they can slow it down there.

Already several videos on Twitter of people in Milan "escaping" before the quarantine takes effect.

I see you have a few issues, Stay safe and I suppose get on that Biden Train!

---

My point was that they are in no way objective. You have to view everything through that lens.

Is corona virus a problem? Yes. Is it a public health concern in the USA, yes. Should we take appropriate steps to ensure it does not become a public health disaster? yes.

Is it the world-ending apocalypse that they are trying to make it? Probably not. Just like many of the things they have eagerly and willingly blown out of proportion the last 5 years or so to hurt our country.

About 6 months ago, between the Mueller report and Ukraine hoax, the MSM had a coordinated effort that sprung up seemingly overnight, with "esteemed economists" saying that we were about 3-6 months from a massive recession. "All of the indicators" they said "point to an inevitable recession -- worse than 2008". No one knows why or where that came from, but it was on almost every channel and NPR for the better part of 2 or 3 weeks. It was discussed at length on this board. Then, it disappeared just as fast...but it was clear as glass what narrative was being pushed....

That didnt hurt the economy like they had hoped, but suddenly coronavirus did. It logically follows that the same idiots would use this situation (in which global producer China shuts down their factories unexpectedly for months, and reduces their demand for oil by 25% which would naturally deflate futures) to push their agenda...which is the only narrative they have: Orange. Man. Bad.

Sorry, edited my initial response before your post.

seriously

all Trump has to do to get on the right side of this is ramp the testing way way up

give the public health officials something to target and slow down

that this thing is hardly being tested for seems like we are cool with regional quarantine

Trump is ****ing this up

Your edited response seems to be agreeing, but your deleted one seems to think the complete opposite...Im super confused.

Yes Trump is certainly ****ing this up

But its thought people are shedding the virus while showing minimal symptoms or none at all.

In addition to testing we need to be setting up quarantine camps. Sad to say but at this point it looks like we will have to focus on load management until we get a vaccine or cure.

This will never happen.

if you get this early enough with testing, the vast majority of patients could likely be home quarantined

you aggressively test to uncover the milds and keep them home, reducing the R0

combine paranoia, distancing, hygiene, and super aggressive testing can really bring R0 down and actually help the local businesses (since you're showing people you are tracking the outbreak and not every person is a vector)

if Trump is that concerned with the economy for his re-election he needs to understand that going to a war footing over testing is almost required

Where will people go when the hospitals fill up? Hopefully not literally dying in the street like Wuhan and by the sounds of it Italy soon

Good question. We should be taking a cue from the Chinese and setting up thousands of additional hospital beds ASAP.

Do you have any idea how long it would take to get a permit from the City of College Station? There would be no one left to build it.
