You have to realize we have a generation of absolute snowflakes with a media just driving them into hysteria!! Those of us that have lived through HIV, EBOLA, H1N1, Hong Kong flu, Asian flu, Swine flu we are ALL looking at this in disbelief!! This is NO MORE dangerous than any of these other viruses that have hit our country the difference is the generation AND the way they have been taught to behave in universities EVERYTHING is a crisis anymore. I am extremely sad to watch the USA today!!! I think about those young men STORMING the shores of Normandy and realizing those kind of people are GONE forever!!!
I couldn’t agree more with your post.
I wish it were the snowflake generation making the decisions to close schools, close restaurants, cancel all large events, shut down the country, etc but it isn’t. It is political leaders who are either being dishonest with us or our fomenting this panic unnecessarily.
The only difference is now, we are a more populated and weaker immune system.
Plus we expect a lot from others to take care. We have lot of irresponsible people who refused to do good. We are in Societal decline. Lack of empathy towards others.
HIV, EBOLA, Hongkong flu were localized. Asian flu was airborne but restricted (localized). H1N1 was slow spreader and less lethal. This fast contagion and more lethal.
With H1N1, my fever was stuck between 101 and 104 for 7 days. And the cough was horrible. Body ache was horrible. I took 16 extra strength Tylenol per day, still out of control fever. 7th day I saw the doctor and he gave me oseltamivir phosphate. Within 2 days a fever came to normal and cough within 10 days. I did lung exercise for over one month.
Coronavirus, they are saying its ugly viral pneumonia.
What the Administration is trying to do is reduced a lot of people in ICU at one time.
Now Chinese are travelling more. Frequency of these flus will be more. Before 2000, China was a closed country.
