It’s just the flu, bro.

Worldometer’s Coronavirus website is very useful - Italy‘s deaths appears to be on the decline. We aren’t that many days behind them - some experts say somewhere between 1-2 weeks behind.

What could we have done differently? State and local jurisdictions take their lead from the CDC. The CDC should have recommended the old and those with weakened immune system isolate themselves and let everyone else live their lives. The vulnerability of the old and already sick to Coronavirus was well known for many weeks. If the healthy live their lives normally then the healthy would develop immunity and the herd immunity (which protects the vulnerable) would kick in much faster. Sweden especially seems to be going this route. We will see how many more or fewer deaths they have compared to everywhere else.

This will, when we look at the death count in the end, be similar to a flu season.

I think Rush was holding back from call the Wuhan virus a weapon?

Well the arrogant SOB part I’ll agree with

You’re still one of the better posters on the board And I’d miss you if you were gone. :)

If you’re ever up this way, drop a dime, I got a friend who owns a bunch of Italian restaurants and I eat there for free :)

Have a good one paesano

lol

Florida.

I wish FL or TX could make Staten Island a part of their state :)

We went almost 60 percent Trump here and it’s only that low because obama’s sons infest one side of the island.

My Costco is constantly out of the coveted items and that keeps the crowds down. They are a ghost town every time I go for gas. They will have good sales on clothes, etc., soon because that stuff is piling up.

I am prepped for a pandemic and have been for a long time. This one is relatively mild compared to what could come. Of course, my family had the foresight to get the hell out of South Africa when Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. It is a genetic trait in my family to see eventualities and act accordingly. Dumb isn’t exactly accurate but there is no word for not seeing into the future. I will settle for dumb because when a domino falls I see the last one fall and you just see the next one fall.

The time between now and the election is an eternity. The serious stuff will ramp up months before that, if the lockdowns are not eased up.

[CodeJockey]

For flu it is accepted that the infection mortality is less than .1%

True, but the true flu mortality rate is skewed because of the vaccine that many get. That undoubtedly lowers the number of folks that would otherwise get the flu and die. CV19 does not have that advantage, at this point.

The true lethality difference between the flu and cv19 all things being equal is probably closer than what is being floated.

This was already established to all be incorrect, long before today. Far more than just the old are taking up the ICU beds because of this. Countries don't have the issues they are having with this virus that occurs with the seasonal flu - not anywhere close. The "total death count" in the end is not the issue. Italy's deaths are now going down after weeks of a total lockdown to mitigate further spread of the virus after things spiraled completely out of control beyond their capacity to handle. That doesn't happen with the seasonal flu - you know that by now. So why post this?

I guess now you are preparing to formulate your argument if the mitigation efforts are successful - that the very success of mitigation was proof it was never needed. You people just don't stop. No amount of reality or fact phases you in the least.

There is something interesting trending on Twitter called
Film Your Hospital.

It would be interesting to hear any Freeper first hand reports.

[Republican Wildcat]

Really? I guess you better get over to the hospitals and let them know that so they can stop believing what they are seeing in front of their own eyes.

As cases surge across the Island, 70% of beds at RUMC filled by coronavirus patients, hospital says

[impimp]

No - there will be many countries that did minimal to no lockdown. We will see what their end result is. This will confirm lockdown wasn’t needed.

[CodeJockey]

Keep your eyes on Mexico and Brazil. They are not mitigating at all. Their infection and death stats will tell an interesting story if the data can be verified.

They all attended the local Chinese New Year with the Mayor, and sent their children to a massive “rally.”

[SanchoP]

You will see nothing from Mexico. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

American Thinker

In its 244-year history the United States has weathered seven of the worst pandemics in world history without the hysteria and loss of liberty and freedom. All indications reveal that the Coronavirus will be exponentially less life-threatening than any of these previous pandemics.

Is the Coronavirus pandemic serious enough to warrant putting much of the nation’s population into house imprisonment, or wreaking the economy for an indefinite period of time, or prohibiting worshipers from attending their churches, synagogues or mosques, or outlawing freedom of assembly and travel, or destroying businesses that have taken years to build up, or saddling future generations with unfathomable debt? The nation is choosing to plunge millions of people into depression, heart attacks, suicide and unbelievable distress, though they are not especially vulnerable and will only suffer mild symptoms or none at all.

This is what a police state is like.

[SoCal Pubbie]

You’re shitting me, right?

[SoCal Pubbie]

So that makes them assholes? Maybe the all knowing government giving out ever-changing dictates are the assholes.

“But keep living and dying by your hatred of the mid Atlantic cities and states folks.”

They only do that in between wishing California would fall into the sea and 10’s of millions of people die. Including millions of Conservatives.

But their the Patriots /s

LOL! Everyone who disagrees with the chicken littles are aholes. Got it.
= = = = = = = = = =
Agree with that..

WE are not ‘allowed’ an opinion etc.

Somewhat like the clowns at a rally drowning out a speaker by saying they are exercising THEIR rights to free speech, not even seeing the hypocrisy in their statement as they are NOT ‘allowing’ the speaker to exercise his/her/it rights....

MADNESS....

“Italy’s deaths appears [sic] to be on the decline”

According to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/

3/29/20 - 756 new deaths
3/30/20 - 812 new deaths
3/31/20 - 837 new deaths

Where is this decline you speak of?
