Please Remove Housing Timers During the Covid-19 Epidemic

Also, we're not talking pocket change but people dying when it comes to the mortality rate. And this is a virus that's easier to spread around because of its longer incubation period and being able to transfer it when not showing symptoms. And as you said, no vaccine yet.

More people died from H1N1 within the same time-frame than COVID-19. The only thing that makes COVID-19 particularly scary is the lack of vaccine. As of right now, the medical industries best advice is to treat it like a normal case of the flu. I.E. Bed rest, no excessive activities, plenty of fluids, etc...

To be honest, there's a lot of information being thrown around the internet about it. It's hard to tell sometimes what is right. The panic and misinformation are more dangerous than the virus itself, not that the virus isn't anything to be concerned about, because it obviously is. But very few outlets are reporting on it with a clear head.

In my opinion, that's the government's worst kept secret, but I digress.

I mean, I really got to disagree. Coronavirus says hello. Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying secrets is the answer, just like anybody else, I would obviously rather have the truth. I'm just saying, society feeds off of fear and mass hysteria is more or less a given if anything shatters the veil of a "normal" life.

Yes because I'm sure the closure of schools, other public services, restaurants and bars, and banning large gatherings is totally treating this like a normal flu

Whether a person wants to treat this like a normal flu or not is not always their choice. If your workplace shuts down for a while, and you can't do your job from home...how do you pay your sub if this goes on for longer than you can afford?

And don't go on about how cheap the sub is because that matters very little when you need to budget very carefully because you still need to somehow continue to pay for rent and food even though you cannot get an income.

A quick google search turned up this, just as an fyi:


The symptoms of coronavirus are:
-a cough
-a high temperature
-shortness of breath

But these symptoms do not necessarily mean you have the illness. The symptoms are similar to other illnesses that are much more common, such as cold and flu.

Aside from the hyphen bulletpoints, the entire thing was copy > pasted.

That said, it is a different variant of other flus. So without a vaccine and without any real immunity otherwise it has the potential to hit harder depending on one's health. So yeah, it's a bit of a big deal, but it mostly is just another flu...with higher risks, obviously. Some precautions should obviously be taken regardless until the world gets a handle on this thing. Thankfully, there's a vaccine already being put through trials. That's actually pretty impressive.

I was clearly referring to the fact that covid-19 clearly can do a lot more to us as a society than just make us sick with something resembling a flu.
