Those swarming hoards of panicked shoppers are endangering themselves far more than if they just stayed home and out of crowds.
This place would shut down without you.
Tell that to the poster who made the statement, not me.
“There is no need for “Drive by trolling” or “Hysteria.” “
The only hysteria I have seen is folks running around with the hair on fire, frantically INSISTING others not panic, and of course, insisting you share their world view.
Otherwise you’re a threat to western civilization itself. Because you are a closet communist (or on the payroll of communists) aiding the effort to depose the President.
Those are the folks who are freaking out.
“Coronavirus epidemy in Iran has past the crisis level. The country is imploding - law and order to disappear in the next days. A number of officials already died and mass infection among hospital staff and police forces reported.”
Poor babies.
I don’t doubt this. 80% are pretty mild.
But, I am going to wait for the journal reports of a few more before taking down the pirate flag.
How can I bring out my dead and still stockpile emergency meat rations?
Remember that time Joe Biden implied Pres Trump was a racist, for stopping all flights from China?
Seems like ions ago.
My mom had a scar from her time in an iron lung. Once when she was in the hospital a doc asked if he could bring in some students to see it, because they were kind of rare.
“So how are all these other countries doing testing? Heck even one has a drive up testing ...”
Does the potential patient have to stop the car or can he/she/it just drive through at a slow speed?
Maybe if we don’t have to touch or get near the subject er patients, we can open a series of drive thrus and charge a couple of Hundred $’s for each drive thru sucker er subject.
Maybe a drive through burger place would let us test the suckers, er patients before or after they place their food order.
The Reddit coronavirus forum is hysteria and panic, combined with the nastiness of angry libs.
We don’t always agree in here, but it sure is nice to be in this discussion compared to over there!
Big number is running total, small number is that day, last number is percentage of total.
I don’t know anything about the medical part, but I know a bit about stats, and these look encouraging to me. Today stands are 23 new deaths so far, trends downwards continuing.

The “just the flu” folks are converting and, as expected, they are not being civil about it:
“Paris’ Louvre Museum Closed as Staff Walk Out Over Coronavirus”
That is S Korea, who has the drive thru testing, IIRC.
Yeah, I’m wondering NYC is going to try to hide their cases.
I think that may be happening here (on the CV threads), too ;-)
Come on...I am trying to keep the trolls at bay. You know....until they all die. Then we can emerge from our bunkers and rule the world. LOL
Only bring out the bones.
After you make soup...
