Somehow this is Donald Trump’s fault, and China has nothing to do with it. They’re not even mentioned.

Psychotic crap.

Same guys always talking about how e have to live with climate change etc...

It’s not scientific either. It’s their ideas in social engineering and not worth listening to.

The virus has infected more than 4,661 people across the U.S., killing at least 85 people, according to Johns Hopkins University.

This is correct; I looked it up. But I also looked up and found that the influenza outbreak of 2012-2013 killed 56,000 Americans.

I know how I am going to deal with it.

I don’t plan on changing anything.

“We have to continue to consider what it means to die from this virus...

Well since almost NO ONE does die of it except the old and/or sick, we don’t have to consider it too much.

We quarantine for a month and then stop acting like b.tches but take precautions.

Mosquito-borne diseases or mosquito-borne illnesses are diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year resulting in over one million deaths.[1]
Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes include malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, chikungunya, yellow fever,[1] filariasis, tularemia, dirofilariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis,[2] Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Ross River fever, Barmah Forest fever, La Crosse encephalitis, and Zika fever,[2] as well as newly detected Keystone virus and Rift Valley fever.

We had a cure. We nearly irradicated the mosquito, but decided that an unproven bullshit story about thin shelled eagle eggs trumped human lives. Millions every year.

All we have to do right now is get our old and infirm through until we find a vaccine. We won’t loose more than we loose in drowning accidents every year in the mean time.

IMHO, societal changes will be more subtle.

On the other hand, we are going to see BIG changes to government soon. Debt-laden, pension-heavy blue states like IL, NJ, NY, CA will become insolvent. Bailouts and confiscatory taxes will be tried, but it won’t work.

The yearly flu we experience is still the 1919 influenza strain, right? How many Americans have died of it in a hundred years. It goes without saying we live with viruses all around us!

All the fear and hoarding on earth is not going to change the inevitable.

How will we live with it?

That’s easy. Just like every other damn virus we deal with.

Human immune systems will recognize it, attack it, and kill it.

Human vaccines will be derived and distributed widely to augment our immune systems.

With any luck, even a cure will be derived: there are 2 or 3 already being identified.

Protocols for identifying and isolating cases will be codified and followed when necessary.

The virus will be cut off, muffled, strangled and beat down just like every previous one. And we are millions of times better then we were in 1918 at doing all this.

No damn reason to destroy the economy and impose socialism at the order of some politically motivated medical doctor.

We need to know how Covid19 gets transmitted. The way its being presented over SEM (social electronic media) is if a carrier mixes in with a bunch of people who aren’t infected they will all get it from that person. Most illness certainly don’t do that.

Predictions are for fools but I will play the fool to make a prediction.

The virus may hang around for a year or two but the American people are going to want to return to their normal life within a few weeks.

We all dream of having a lot of time for ourselves but many discover that it is not all it is made out to be. Most people enjoy work (as well as earning money).

So it will be impossible to keep Americans in PRISON much beyond the time they begin to get bored.

I am expecting this virus to be here for the rest of my life, just like the flu. Hopefully, there is a season for it, and hopefully, there will soon be a vaccine. I will continue to practice good hygiene and not worry about it. Even living in the modern world, nature keeps reminding us that it’s survival of the fittest.

We’ve been living with H1N1/Swine flu for about 11 years now...

Eventually once we “flatten the curve,” the country will have to move forward again. The virus will still be with us, yes. But we will have to move more towards isolating the elderly and high risk instead of shutting the entire world down. We can’t keep everything shut until we have a vaccine 18+ months from now.

Umm, it means you’re dead.

We will develop an immunity, and I’m convinced most Americans already have because this didn’t come in late Jan.

It came in mid-December. Just survey how many people you know hat the ‘flu’ in December. A shocking number of my friends/wife’s friends. Far more than normal. China had this in mid-Nov., so it’s entirely likely this was in the US by the 2nd week of Dec. at the latest. And what happened? It was so weak, no one noticed it till the Chicoms ANNOUNCED it. That is, 99.99% of Americans survived it and now are immune.
