“So based on what we know today, this China virus is not, in fact and as the anti-flubros proffer, “just like the regular flu”; this China virus appears to be significantly less virulant and signficantly less lethal than the “regular flu”.”
That’s just flat out stupid.
The “absolute numbers” argument is a logical fallacy. It’s so January.
The whole point of doing what we are doing is to keep the relative number of infections down as long as we can. I know you’ve seen the scenarios where we just “let ‘er rip”. But you simply ignore data and conclusions you do not like. And now you’re doing victory laps? One of the “only” so many people have died sickos I just referenced.
Very well. So leave your fate to the modelers and the politicians and discount "stupid" data which show improving conditions that arguably do not provide continued justification for a growing number of people for the crushing costs (to be clear, these "costs" include significantly more than simply dollars) that continue to mount and the continuing abject fear and panic which is itself harming people and unnecessarily continues to grow, but realize that sooner or later you are going to have to gather the courage to go back outside and associate with other people. I presume that for you that will be when your governor provides his assurance -- and his permission -- for you to do so.
We can disagree, my fellow Freeper, and as neither of us has any authority or ability to do much about any of this except attempt to clarify and perhaps influence a small audience with our thoughts and opinions, can we agree to do so without resorting to pejoratives as that is, well, so "Left".
Sincere best wishes for you continued good health & Cheers! GA
