Corona Virus # 3

[Jstpssng]

I wish that those of you who feel the need to get threads closed would take it someplace else. Some of us would like to read about it and there was some good information getting passed along, until the usual suspects felt the need to get it closed down. Again; if you need to snipe at each other please take it someplace else.

Agreed very informative thread it would be ashamed to see it closed

I agree with ya and just enjoyed reading. I just wish those offending posts got pulled or the posters were suspended without closing the thread.

Unfortunately, so much of the info out there is false and fear based. Fear is obviously a strong emotion. If you’ve fallen into fear it’s likely going to trigger a reaction. That coupled with what I’ll call “the times” and an entire “machine” working overtime to blame this on a person or persons and you get reactions.

Let’s try this-


219 Novel Coronavirus (219-nCoV) Situation Summary | CDC

.....average person doesn’t need a mask
......no travel restrictions inside the USA
......acting similar to other coronaviruses from years past
......acting similar to the “normal” or every year flu

I agree about the thread closing. Hope I'm not a contributor to that.

Thanks for getting #3 started.

Good stuff here guys.

I was thinking about the words of a Pennsylvania girl who wrote a song called "You need to calm down" as I was reading thread #2. I thought it was a pretty timely discussion with a certain amount of distracting static. I hope we can keep this one going because the covid-19 story seems to be changing hour by hour.

Yes, things change real fast. I saw a vid of Costco in Washington and the customers cars were lined up outside.
They said it was the busiest day since Christmas eve, TP bleach and the usual flu stuff, it sounds like people are preparing but are a little late in doing so.
Common sense needs to prevail..

3rd times a charm, lets keep non political...

Unfortunately this can be a part of the problem......

Bullet point right at the top is claiming a 2% death rate. But buried in the “story” they claim many (tens of thousands) could be infected and not know or not report (like didn’t go to the doctor because they didn’t feel good for a few days- which is normal). This makes the 2% death rate complete crap stats!!! So if they are talking out their butt (lying) with the bullet point in the first part of the “story” what can you trust in the rest of it!?!? “Fruit of a poisonous tree”
