You do understand that panic promotes the spread; not hinders it. Correct?

    Ironically, I AM saying "hide you kids", "hide yo wife". Not to protect them Covid-19 though. To protect them from those who are over-worried about it.
    So basically you're reinforcing my points about your accusation being on the worst end of the spectrum and WRONGLY using an out of context post to use as your platform.

    No, because my statements are a response, not an agenda. They most certainly are not an accusation (seriously, where in the hell did that come from?). But yeah, don't try and say I have a platform. You couldn't be more wrong.

    If I am reading your posts correctly, what I surmise is that you are definitely accusing me of being on a side of a spectrum that I am nowhere close to being. Attempting to deflate overblown facts from the media is hardly what I would call being in opposition to legitimate global concern. Trying to lessen people's anxiety is hardly what I would call being in opposition to a legitimate global concern.

    I am not the gregarious type by any means, and it's those who are that concern me the most. I'm the one that's saying go ahead and buy some sanitizer, toilet paper, surface cleaners; but maybe just one or two packages, and not a whole freakin case or pallet? Maybe not be the two obese ladies caught on camera fighting over the stuff? I don't know, maybe continue to be a decent human being?

    It's too much to ask, I know.

    And tell me that everyone is panicking over covid19.
    The virus is deadlier than spanish flu from 1918, malaria, smallpox or measles. Please tell me i was wrong and it is a normal flu.
    Lombardia in italy report CFR as high as 7-8%.

    With an unknown number of real infections, because mild cases happen and go unnoticed

    The problem is a lack of testing and knowledge. The mortality rate could be 0.5% for all we know.


    It also affects certain age groups differently, like all illnesses. I'd wager that city in italy is mostly older, which would have a higher rate. I'm sure if we polled every disease that way we'd see similar results.


    I'm not saying it's not a bad virus and people shouldn't be careful. We just don't have accurate statistics at the moment.

    Do you know what hides behind "mild case" definition?
    - 38 C and higher body temp
    - dry choking cough
    - condition lasting up to 14 days
    - fever
    - Pains and muscle cramps
    - lungs inflammation
    - heavy breath

    This is "mild" case of covid19, have you ever had lungs inflamed before? People who had "mild case" describe their case as "the worst flu they ever had".
    This virus hits heavy and leaves scars in the lungs.
