This isn’t the flu! The virus isn’t as deadly as that.
But it sure is fun seeing all these virus experts at FR!!
You?
Stop with your dangerous and stupid claims.
More people died today from CCP-19 than die on an average, in-season day from the flu.
Absolute numbers due to containment and mitigation don’t make CCP-19 less dangerous than the flu.
All I can say is things are appearing a lot worse in my Ohio county. 6 deaths alone yesterday in a single hospital and the hospital is not reporting the actual numbers sick and dying because they are not being forced to. A local Walgreens has two employees with it. News caught wind of it and reported on it. They were later forced to print a retraction because even thought it was true, Walgreens didn’t officially announce it. Our hospital is actively taking donations for masks and people are making homemade ones. Like where are the millions hoarded from the SEIU, Apple and a Facebook. This isn’t just the flu and people are being hospitalized for a lot longer. I now know 6 people being treated and another 6 quarantined for exposure.
I’ve been reading a reasonably fair amount about CV-19 over the last three weeks or so. And I can’t quite wrap my brain around it all.
By that, I’m neither a FluBro nor a Doomsday Prepper like many on the main daily CV thread here on FR. I’m somewhere between the two. The wife and I have stocked up some extra food and we’re careful about where we go. We both have reasons to be cautious. She has a mild case of asthma and I’m slight immune suppressed because of a chemo med I take for leukemia.
I’ve been for many weeks now maintaining social distancing, washing my hands more, etc. etc. I believe that flattening the curve is essential to help avoid overloading our medical system. By all accounts, it sounds like NYC is already in that position. New Orleans and LA sound like the next big hotspots.
But no matter how much I read, I can’t quite figure out where I stand with this.
