CCP-19 in the same family as the common cold. Is it just a cold, then?

A Tabby, a Maine Coon cat and a Lion are all cats. Which one would you like the least chasing you?

Look at the numbers, man, and stop playing games with semantics.

If it runs amok, the HCS and economy die just as surely as an indefinite hard cold stop. Neither of those is going to happen, but you FluBros are proposing that we let millions die so you can continue counting your nickels.

In that way you are pushing an apocalypse just as much as any of the sky-is-falling crowd. You are just more proactive about it. Vested interest in killing all the old and sick and many young and healthy and a disproportionate chunk of our HJCS workers at all levels, I guess. What do you think all those deaths would do to the economy? What do you think crashing the HCS for years or decades would do? Or maybe you are long in funeral home stocks and this isn’t killing enough people for your satisfaction.

I plan to do a Vitamin C hammer if I get the weird throat symptom.

“Can’t stand it when wealthy companies so proudly state they’ll match funds.”

Easy to do. Like posting gratitude memes on Facebook.

What they need to do is have the executives and board members get out on the front lines, work in the stores, the hospitals, the warehouses. Show everyone that we are in this together, that it’s reasonably safe.

I used this year’s to-date estimate maximum from the CDC and compressed it into the time period over which they tracked it.

That preempts all of their counterarguments.

Hey Flu Bros, you just took out a US Aircraft Carrier.

Because, somehow, junk food is essential.

“South Korea’s CFR has crept up to 1.4% and is on track to exceed 2%. Active cases are falling as new recoveries are running more than double new cases.”

Yep, but more importantly, their death rate is higher than their new case rate.

The FluBros tried to use SK stats as a means to diminish the threat of CCP-19 but never accepted the math. Either SK needs to find a huge pool of new infected and do even better with recoveries versus deaths, or the CFR will only increase. Math. They can’t or won’t do it.

Costco Employees Are Testing Positive For The Coronavirus And Their Coworkers Say Managers Aren’t Being Transparent

Well, I thought that the building association was just being a bunch of idiots until I found out that jurisdictions around Austin were perfectly fine with allowing commercial building. Also, Austin is still allowing it for medical (fine) and also government (oh, but of course) and “affordable housing” (social justice stuff to me).

80 % of those infected in New York are 64 or younger. Looks like the old folks are smart and staying inside now.

Totally predictable result of .gov messaging.

It looks like this will now be a "young person's disease".

(The virus likes all humans, and puts 15-20% of those it infects in the hospital. _That_ is the message that should have been put out there from day one.)

The good news is that food cannot be infected, so the cook did not get anyone else sick.

This message was brought to you by the National Restaurant Association! ;-)

“Branch Covidians”

That’s the FluBros religion.

The ‘goal’ of the virus was to crash us out economically.

Either by crashing our insurance companies/hospital system.

Or our economy with shutdowns.

There are no good answers.

If we do the first, we WILL end up with single payer.

Can you give us a quick summation of that one? I’m paywalled.

Get ready for an attempt to cover for China. It’s already begun. Note the Wuhan “decreasing numbers” speak, without any inspections. The weekend it was “stay home”, now dist.& wash hand
