Desperate Italian medics at the coronavirus epicentre told how all their efforts 'are not enough' as their country's death toll soared above that of even China. The number of fatalities there hit 3,405 yesterday, the highest in the world, despite the valiant efforts of shattered doctors to keep the ailing victims of the virus alive. A shocking Sky News report showed the hectic scenes inside the Papa Giovanni XXII hospital in the crisis-hit area of Bergamo in Lombardy, with staff rushing through wards with beds full of patients in distress.

In before the Coronavirus Deniers
Strategic entry into all of Europe.
Almost like you take glee in it.
Being right is more important than people not suffering.
Sucks to be you
They hate people. Can’t get along with anyone, so it’s their chance to get even.
“It’s just the common cold!”
Well chloroquine / azithromycin has a big test bed available in Italy. Hopefully it will prove to effective.
Hope this turns these cases around....
Denying the virus is bad isn’t going to stop people from suffering. The deniers are going to cause more suffering because people won’t take it serious.
People are still going to get sick, only more of them will get sick if they listen to the deniers.
The economy was going to tank anyway because people would eventually learn the truth.
The more serious we take this, the more preventive steps we take. The faster the virus is dealt with and the less economic harm.
I posted articles early and often to let people know this was coming. If I now make fun of the ostriches, so what.
Terrifying footage inside Valley Forge encampment shows Continental Army soldiers and colonial militia member struggling to stay warm and fight off disease as Gen. George Washington and his officers warn their best efforts are 'not enough'
... said no headline, ever.
Here on Free Republic (as in other online conservative communities) the Coronavirus has become the new “global warming”. Not that the virus is not dangerous or that precautions are not in order, but like global warming zealots, anyone who asks for calm sober analysis and discussion is labeled as a “denier” to shut off discussion. Asking if killing the global economy might be more dangerous than the impact of the virus is not denying that the virus is dangerous.
The use of the term “denier” is an ad hominem attack and marks the accuser as being unwilling to engage in civil discourse. Yes, the Coronavirus is dangerous and merits caution. But I fear that the hysteria virus will be far more dangerous, for it shows that the vast majority of Americans and many on this board are willing to become slaves in order to gain temporary safety.
Selling off your industry to China and then allowing these zipper heads to come across your border illegally will lead to tragedy.
We have chloroquine, remdesivir and filapiravir to help but not a word in the so called media.

How many have died due to flu so far? GFYS.
Just how under reported are they?
I'm not trying to shut off discussion. But people who are in denial with zero facts on their side and telling the rest of us to shut up deserve to be mocked.
"But I fear that the hysteria virus will be far more dangerous, for it shows that the vast majority of Americans and many on this board are willing to become slaves in order to gain temporary safety."
I think that reaction is hysteria. There is zero reason to think we are going to become slaves if we allow a quarantine that will buy us time to combat this and save lives.
And neither is "killing the global economy" going to happen. It's going to recover, maybe with a few changes. That's a hysterical response and is fear mongering.
If you have a problem with the facts, the facts are not the problem.
Hope your epidemiological expertise is real and that you are accurate. It is amazing that you seem to have Nobel caliber skills in that field as well as in economics. I could say more, but made a resolution to be more polite on this board.
