Oh please.
The question I responded to, and spent some time on looked legitimate.
Then you had to spout off about hysteria, as if we are all upset about nothing but old people dying
First off, many of those old people fought for your right to a free country, so even if that was all the damage it would cause, that would be ENOUGH to try and slow this monster down. Im not old but I RESPECT those who BUILT this country through their commitment and sacrifice. Unlike some of you I am not willing to throw them away like garbage because you worried about a thin paycheck.
And, as Black Agnes said, they is a lot of morbidity, 15-20% hospitalized nationwide, and the threat of collapse of healthcare and the collateral damage that would cause. Do you even know how many ICUs are in your county? What happens if your grandbaby has an appendicitis?
But hey, as long as your portfolio looks good.
And a lot of you call yourself pro life *spit* Pro life as long as it doesnt touch your bottom line, I see.
Yes, those of us who have been tracking this virus have been called hysterical for 10 weeks now. It gets old. No one here is hysterical. It was and has always been about being PREPARED. And most folks on this thread are just that, prepared.
I’m sorry you took my post the wrong way. This can be as bad as texting...ha.
My dad spent 3 years overseas during WWII to help defeat Hitler. I know what that generation did for us all.
Many in my own family, siblings, relatives, and friends, (along with myself) are seniors, so yes, I am very much concerned with the effects of this illness on the older population.
I wasn’t calling any one here hysterical. Most of the nation has been in a panic for several weeks now. That’s whom I was referring to...and hoping if the CDC and major nightly news broadcasts would daily include the age/underlying cause deaths, it might help to bring a little more calm to the country.
Ok, I forgive you. :)
I find it ironic that those who who are the biggest critics of those who took it seriously by accusing them of panic over the virus, are themselves freaking out even worse over the economic ramifications of this whole situation.
We can recover a bad economy. I havent figured out one way yet, to recover the lives lost to the virus.
