It is of interest because it explains both the threat of COVID-19 to the individual AND to the system.
Those that ignore the threat of COVID-19 put others at risk and are no better than the dork that ignores evacuation orders in a sunami event and risks the lives of people that attempt rescue.

It.
Won’t.

You might be able to flatten the curve by destroying civilization and the economy for two weeks in the nation but it’s still happening around the world and the virus WILL continue to spread and then make its way back into the US.
And then what? Shut down the country again for two weeks?
A month into it, and there’s 10 or 20 dead. Yeah, this is a real pearl harbor. Meanwhile at least 16,000 have died from the flu. This is an over blown, overhyped, media induced, democrat fueled panic.
COVID-19 has now killed 0.00008% of the world’s population. If we aren’t careful that number might rise to 0.00015%. Essentially, you have a 1 in a million chance of dying from the COVID-19. Probably 1 on 10 million if you’re healthy. Fact: 1 in 22 million is about the risk of dying in a commercial plane crash in the US every time one flies.
Don’t ignore it but don’t panic either. Use faith in God and common sense.
As Trump said, when Americans are tested, Americans rise to the occasion.
I’ll add, “When FREE Americans are tested, FREE Americans rise to the occasion.”
It’s ok. I guess limited bandwidth at the site.
I like the way the threat to the system is described, the importance of how you conduct yourself to slow the spread so as not to overwhelm the system, and how this virus is new and effects all of our bodies naive immune systems.

I won’t say it again so I’ll just post the link.
Is it a serious virus? Yup.
Is the reaction or cure going to prove worse than the disease. You bet you rear end it is!
Thank you for posting this.
Excellent explanation of most FAQs.
Hope all will read, and educate themselves.
Clearly, they oppose Trump! /s
They make a big deal of exponential numbers but don't seem to consider that this virus has been in the country probably for the past three months, which means that everybody should have been in contact with it by now, and with the ten percent fatality they're touting there should be thousands of deaths.
In 1966 the word was that by the year 2000 a loaf of bread would cost thirty bucks ... at the current rate of inflation. The arithmetic was good if you accepted the premise. But the premise itself was false.
Yep,he's an expert alright. OMIGOD!! IT'S PEARL HARBOR!!
Let’s update ourselves: Although the coronavirus, like influenza, can be survived by most Americans, it is much more infectious than influenza, like orders of magnitude more infectious.
But coronavirus requires a human host to survive and multiply. Once it’s gone from a human host by the human recovery or death, it ceases to be, it can’t survive long outside a human host.
THEREFORE, THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS IS ‘SOCIAL DISTANCING’ UNTIL IT IS OVER WHICH MAY BE A FEW WEEKS.
Repeating the takeaways:
1. Coronavirus no more deadly than other flu infections.
2. Coronavirus at least 3 X more infectious than other flu viruses.
3. Coronavirus can’t survive outside human host for long.
4. Encourage human populations to take temporary measures to allow coronavirus to die out on its own.
And the President’s actions via Mnuchin (who I admit is doing a stellar job) is to prevent the economy from collapsing.
More than 80% of the American economy is made up of small and mid size businesses. They cannot survive massive social distancing, quarantine without government help.
“This is a Pearl Harbor moment for our country” but we aren’t trying to panic you, what is this Russian or Chinese?
Good advice.
Thanks for posting.
Perhaps they should start a Dufus Denier Ping list?

"This is a Pearl Harbor moment for our country."
When Americans come together as one people, we can accomplish ANYTHING!
We are the people who conquered the evil Nazi and Japanese Empires, who conquered polio, who conquered the difficulties of placing a man on the moon, who conquered slavery, who conquered the untamed wilderness and created the greatest nation the world has ever known!
Ignore the voices of darkness! Ignore the yahoos and the ordure that they hurl! Ignore the attempts of the malevolent to divide Americans! Ignore those who would exploit the present crisis for their own benefit!
Together we will prevail over this pandemic--and anything else fate throws at us!
