OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
In truth it’s probably 1 person who has given it to all 429,000 confirmed cases so far. If you extend the transmission chain far enough.
I thought the article was interesting because of the comparison of transmission rates to the flu.
The Daily Mail. Setting the standard for sensationalism since 1896.
A lot meaningless gibberish. But, yeah, great job trying to keep the panic going. This guy gives no empirical facts, he just spews some lame hypothesis. Little more than conjecture. So many fear prostitutes out there, and to what end?
There they are again...the two most deceptive words in the English language:
“up to.”
That’s alright, because it only affects old people.

South Carolina mom with coronavirus-infected 7-month-old son speaks out: ‘COVID-19 isn’t a joke’

The hotbeds of northeast and the west coast need to be blockaded to prevent the spread of the virus. All exists, both land and ports, from NJ, NY, MA, CA, OR and WA should be blocked by the military. Food and medicine could be trans shipped at the borders.
Whole article is total rubbish, calculated to create maximum alarm and panic to the stupid and uninformed.
The media will put any quack on TV or in print if they have something harmful to say to inflame the panic. Its all anecdotal, but as long as it gets eyeballs, let’s run with it!
Alternatively, the many, many cases where many clients recover (quickly!) from Hydroxycloriquine and Zitromax: the media and all the Doctors (going for their 15 minutes tell us) - that doesn’t prove anything!
Its just anecdotal! The fact we have had these two medicines for decades with mountains of evidence of adverse affects - means nothing. We need to run trials, blind trials, tests, clinics, studies. Maybe we can see how it works over several months, then maybe we can recommend it. On the other hand, we are sure there is a perfect treatment which costs thousands which will be developed in a few months! Surely the cure can’t be this simple!
It is clear to all who look - the drug combo works!
Rev up the production - this thing is over! The problem is you’re not going to get the Governors off TV and out the spotlight that fast! This is the best thing that ever happened to Newsom and Cuomo. They are not going to let this crisis abate easily.
I will give Cuomo credit - and I am not a fan - the clinical trials which started yesterday in NY will prove to be wildly successful - it will be obvious in less than 2 weeks. Thank God Trump has been behind this drug combination for several days now - he is forcing the critics to take a hard look at the treatment. Guy has been phenominal.
April 12 will be our Independence Day!
Yeah, and I’ve yet to see any good studies on lasting lung damage for those that survive.
My daughter however found an article that says young people are taking as much precautions as older people. So that’s good if true.
She also says Democrats are taking it more seriously than Republicans. I think that’s probably true too. But that’s not a good thing.
Yes! Get your affairs in order now.
NJ mom fights to get experimental drug for son, 25, in critical condition from coronavirus

Yeah, but, they have a lot of pictures.
It is curious. It’s like some built in mechanism for human survival. When things are good birth rates go down. When things are horrible they go up. If we were bacteria we would go looking for the gene.
Okaaaaaay....
Have you been to Facebook lately?
Talk about hyperventilating, chest heaving, pearl clutching hyperbole.
But, at least they can cite solid primary sources, like my sister’s neighbor’s daughter who was a nurse for 10 years.
Who said that?
St. Louis Woman in Her 30s First in City to Die of Coronavirus
Garbage statement anyone?
The fact that some 30 year old woman in St Louis died from coronavirus doesn't change in the slightest the fact that by far most of the dead are older people.
I understand it is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS, but LESS FATAL.
Sounds like a pretty good exchange to me.
