are you factoring in suicides, deaths as a result of a crash in standard of living and the years and years it will take to recover...if ever? just asking

Add to that, no money for medical care and medical research.

I understand the graphs. The dates are laughable. No one is going to stay cooped up past Mid-April.

We need to take prudent precautions and get back to work by Easter.

Products of the modern educational indoctrinational school&university system?

or just a bunch of over-qualified policy wonks fearing for their careers and not putting their communities first?

Isolation is the key.

Oh bullsh*t!!! The virus has been circulating where we live in Eastern King County for at least the last 3 months. It was brought back here by the half million Chinese living here who frequently visit home and bring back whatever is making the rounds there. Fortunately this one does not cause any symptoms in half the population, another 30% have symptoms mild enough that they are still running around spreading it. Kids and young adults have no idea they are “sick”.

My wife and I have both worked and volunteered at the Life Care Center in Kirkland where this virus first hit a vulnerable group of people. The question here is not if you are going to get it, but whether you already had it or not. The tests that they give now give no indication whether you had it and already got over it. If it were not for advanced testing techniques this would not have been recognized as anything other than a normal flu season. This is absolute and total madness!

When no real crisis materializes we will be left with the massive cost of this nonsense. Politicians will be taking credit for "saving" us when their actions will have had negligible if any effect on the progression of the virus.

Yes, it is nice that the two weeks is here and we are proven correct about the over-hype. Unfortunately, all they say now is...”wait until two more weeks”. You can’t win.

I am hoping the “kick outs” start going toward the panic pushers advocating destruction of our liberties and cheering for an authoritarian police state.

I have two colleagues who came down with a fever last week, who can’t get tested for Covid-19, because they are not sick enough or famous enough to qualify for testing.

The fire department I was a member of for 25 years is overwhelmed not with sick people. Young people with no symptoms are demanding a 911 response because they think they might have been exposed and are demanding that they be evaluated and tested.

What is the real death rate in China? What number between their several thousand and the 21 million suggested by canceled phones. How many people disappeared?

I looked but couldn't find a source for this cancelled phones number. Do you have one you can share in the thread?

Yes, those silly freedom loving people! Lock them away, or better yet, shoot them. You panic pushers sure love your police state. Disgusting.

Hydrochlorine cures the virus.

No need to quarantine, just get the right drug to people.

Need to go over FDA and entrenched Doctor IDIOTS somehow

Two weeks ago, Ohio supposedly had 100,000+ cases. Either 100,000 survived coronavirus without treatment AND without significant symptoms, or Dr Acton and the Idiot Gov Devine are in a competition to see who is the most stupid!

This is why you see Democrat governors, mayors, etc implementing the most harshest restrictions.

We have a friend in the country of Colombia. The friend tells us:

By presidential order, every citizen 70 years old and older can not leave their home until May 31. Bogota started a lock down last week. The Government started a country wide lock down until April 13. If you leave your home with no reason you can get from 4 to 8 years in prison.

Here is a video: Link
