Another article to cultivate panic and hysteria in the hopes of crashing the next economy.

Until the actual infections are know, the case fatality rate is not know. From things I read, there are many more cases than the ones testing positive; iow, mild cases.

I don't know what it adds.

The rest of us here just want your mom and your aunt (and, incidentally, you:) to come through this pandemic (or whatever it is) just fine.

The number of deaths so far ny COVID 19 is not much above normal flu and winter respiratory. Check Center for Disease control 2015-2019. Everyone dies once. Review the Gospel of John. You don’t have to die twice.

Some people on-line appear to be agitated that everyone isn’t as concerned about this as they are.

I’m just curious. Do you know about the Flu epidemic of 1918? This one isn’t even close. Do you know how many people died last year from the ordinary flu?

We are ruining their fun. Which is all this is to them.

You really have to get “wet” with Ebola. It’s not transmitted as easily.

Actually, I don’t think this is a contest. A lot of folks want to debate the lethality of this thing compared to shit the will never get.

The long and short of it is that no matter if you clap your hands and believe or not—it’s coming. It’s going to kill people. It is going to overwhelm some hospitals. And it’s going to suck.

No, it’s not Ebola.

So who still thinks this virus was not at least partially bioengineered by the Chinese Communists in that Wuhan Bioweapons Facility?

“I just heard Mrs. O’Leary’s barn burned down!” said one Chicagoan to a few others.

“A barn fire? Who cares...” said one

“It’s clear the other side of town.” said another

“Too bad about the cow.” said a third

“Hey, I smell smoke.” said a fourth.

The other three beat the crap out of him for being a fearmonger...

“One in ten requiring intensive care in Italy.”

I would like to see a breakdown of the ages of those requiring hospitalization. I suspect it is the aging population who are the most vulnerable.

Somehow CBS Sunday Morning allowed one fellow to sneak through in the panic report comparing the Coronavirus to the 1918 Flu Pandemic.

He mentioned the primary treatments for that flu were enemas, whiskey and bloodletting.

“Hospitals were quite different then,” he was allowed to say.

How Jane let that much out to the public we’ll never know.
