It's 100 times worse than the flu, and it's about to spread EVERYWHERE If this virus is as contagious as it I have read it is, it would be logical to assume that 30 - 40% of the USA already has it. It's been spreading around in China since December and we didn't shut down travel from China until very early Feb. Do people really think, the Chinese did not bring it over here in mass quantities before then? If they did, then most of you already have it. If you haven't shown symptoms, then you're asymptomatic most likely, which means most people are asymptomatic. That would also mean we blew this way out of proportion and you should get your asses back to work. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76785444 I think you are right - I work in IT for a 24/7 call center we had agents coming from all over Asia / India in Jan / feb etc. there has been a lot "sickness"type stuff going around from Jan, I had something for 3 weeks, very mild flu symptoms - no fever but had the minor throat think happening, tired, sore legs, stomach issue early on for a couple of days, ringing ears, loss of appetite for a while, no cough. it was either the flu which I don't usually get or Covid-19, pumped myself with lipo Vit C (1.5 grms 2 X day) + vid d and zinc / magnesium. can still just feel it a bit in me but otherwise good now. NZ is in lockdown now, so quiet it like the end of the world. .. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72802140 I mean, use caution if you’re nervous, but where is this chicom flu? LOL at you people. This is just beginning. You guys are just a few weeks on. Look back a history and witness for yourself how plagues and epidemics took years before they ravaged the population in the way you describe, even during the Middle Ages when there were no antibiotics and modern medical equipment and knowledge. IT IS JUST BEGINNING. Once the medical establishments fail, then you will get your mass graves. The exponential growth is the problem here.

I agree - look at Wuhan over 10m people locked down after it was allowed to spread for a month during one the most in country travel seasons of the year, and yet less 100k people actually caught it? Sure we can dismiss China’s numbers but in reality they seemed to make out well. This shit has been here since February and we could easily test everyone we would see millions infected and millions that are no longer infected |

People have trouble understanding exponential growth, and even more trouble with something that takes longer than an episode of Game of Thrones to manifest. And people talking about Wuhan and comparing it - they went into COMPLETE lockdown, that's the only way they were able to put a cap on it. Think of all those videos of them spraying disinfectant everywhere with the huge machines. Everyone wore masks, etc. Here, we are doing none of that, so everyone will get their wish - to see if this is "real" or not. Spoiler alert - it is, and this country is about to pay a price a lot higher than just economic damage. It might take until summer to really feel it, but it's coming. Check back with you "hoax" and nothingburger tards then. |
