Well this isn’t going to be stopped until it basically burns out...or they get a vaccine, which is going to take time...
I figure this is going to flow like the flu across the country...so you do what you can to limit your risks and live life as much as possible.....Knowing there are untested people who have this virus and not symptomatic will infect others there’s really not much anyone can do.

I’m grateful we have the best people working on this but I hate the media hype and Dems gleefully reporting every so called ‘specialist’ out there...including every complaint true or not that those using their phones to report as if they’re not seeking their moment in time.

The facts are being supressed under the host of armchair specialists as well. it’s simply overhyped...

It is both over-hyped, and under-hyped or counter-hyped.

We have people on the “we’re all going to die” end of the spectrum, as well as a large contingent on the “it’s just like the normal flu” end of the spectrum. I’ve been on the, this is more serious than a normal flu, less serious than SARS is even if you catch it, and the basic actions to limit and contain this are fairly simple if you actually take it seriously” end of the spectrum.

“PANIC!

“Wash your hands.
Cover your mouth with something other than your hands when you cough or sneeze.
Actually use the disinfectant wipes when you use a cart at a store.
Have a couple of weeks food on hand at home.
Don’t go into the office and infect all of your coworkers if you are sick.
If you can work from home, work from home.

“Oh wait, that’s not COVID-19 panic. That’s what everyone should be doing every flu season. The only real addition here, is that the food supply might need to be a few weeks longer, since unlike the flu which burns out in 3-10 days, this takes 3-5 weeks.”

I’m also on the “quit doing inexcusably bad math” end of the spectrum. It may well be that bad math is a more dangerous threat than COVID, even if you catch it. Lots of people have caught bad math.
