I could use a hand on this thread - got a real Flubro being a pain in the butt, and refusing to answer my question:

“ Keep sticking your head in the sand, but don’t come to this thread. We’ve been reading and learning, unlike the #flubros.”

What makes me mad is that I’m not in denial, I’m vigilant about being prepared and staying safe, but I’m almost certainly going to get just as sick as the Flubros.

Hopefully I can push it out to the end of the parabolic slope, though, where I have a good shot at a ventilator if I need one.

We just hit a milestone on BNO - there are now more Coronavirus cases OUTSIDE of China and more Coronavirus deaths OUTSIDE of China than officially reported inside of China:

I think an Italian doctor described the epidemiological difference very well (this is from the snopes site only because I’m doing down and dirty searching)

So, you can believe a foreign doctor, if you don’t believe the US system, or you can believe Panda Propaganda that it’s just nothing

“Now, tell me which flu virus causes such a rapid tragedy. Because that’s the difference (now I’m going down a bit in the technical field): in the classical flu, apart from infecting much less population over several months, cases can be complicated less frequently, only when the VIRUS destroying the protective barriers of the Our respiratory tract allows BACTERIA normally resident in the upper tract to invade the bronchi and lungs, causing more serious cases. Covid 19 causes a banal influence in many young people, but in many elderly people (and not only) a real SARS because it arrives directly in the alveoli of the lungs and infects them making them unable to perform their function.”

Cuomo has much more power than Blasio. We’ll hear from Blasio sooner or later, maybe when it is time to shut public transportation down. He needs to work WITH Cuomo. Maybe they should do a joint presentation, if only to show unity between city and state. Fratellanza.

Oh get over yourself. I am not making light of the situation, I am remaining realistic. Flu Bros. Clever...You and your ilk continue to represent expertise regarding things you simply have no idea. But please, continue to hand wring and post one off cases that are incompletely investigated for the sake of your own narcissism. Since you are concerned about my malpractice and have several lawyers you know, perhaps you might want to not libel me...

“ I am required to attend a meeting with 15 people on Tuesday morning.”

I’d just call in sick. Everybody is about to have so many problems no one will ever give it a second thought.

“got a real Flubro being a pain in the butt”

Don’t waste your time, If they think Coronavirus is like a flu there is no changing their mind at this point or they are harnessing you for entertainment.

What is the epidemiological difference between this virus and any other common cold virus?

I'm not sure of ALL...but this virus targets the lower respiratory system. Cold viruses (rhinovirus etc) target the upper respiratory system.

I fired a couple of artillery shells—not sure if it helped.

“ South Korea is showing #COVID19 can be beat with smart, aggressive public health.”

Put the South Koreans in charge of everything immediately.

Thanks, that might help a bit on the other thread.

Probably so. He’s trolled here too (claiming that we can have both a normal economy and no spread of the disease), but I guess he feels that he’s used up his welcome.
