It’s what the people want. Democrats are literally crying for him to do something. It’s the flu for Pete’s sake! AIDS is more contagious than this shit. Measles too.

Plus, he wanted to close the borders weeks ago and y’all started with that racist shit. Now everyone losing their minds because he didn’t do it fast enough.
So you believe it to be unnecessary and overblown?
Why is he having the Secretary of Energy buy large quantities of crude oil if we are energy dependent now?

It wouldnt be racist if he would have done what he did two weeks ago. Except exempt the UK, that was dumb.

It would've been racist if he decided to ban africa and all muslim countries.

Do you even comprehend what racism means?


2 weeks ago he wanted to close the borders and there was outrage. Pelosi said it was racist.

ALCINDOR: You did disband the White House pandemic office, and the officials that were working in that office left this administration abruptly. So what responsibility do you take to that, and—the officials that worked in that office said the White House lost valuable time because that office was disbanded. What do you make of that?

TRUMP: Well, I just thank it’s a nasty question, because what we’ve done, and Tony had said numerous times that we saved thousands of lives because of the quick closing. [Ed.: The closing of borders to some travelers.] And when you say me, I didn’t do it. We have a group of people, I could ask perhaps, in my administration, but I could perhaps ask Tony about that, because I don’t know anything about it. I mean, you say we did that, I don’t know anything about it. Disbanding, no, I don’t know anything about it …

ALCINDOR: You don’t know about the reorganization that happened at the National Security Council.

TRUMP: … It’s the administration, perhaps they do that, let people go, you used to be with a different newspaper than you are now, you know, things like that happen.

It’s less than 5% difference. Quit being dramatic.

1. There is no vaccine for COVID-19 unlike influenza.

2. Not sure how you got 5% ? R-Naught is the average number of people infected from one other person. If we use the highest value of R-Naught you provided (1.6) for influenza compared to the highest possible value for COVID-19 (2.4), we get a 50% increase, not 5% .

3. Imagine adding 50% more vehicles to your daily traffic. You get stop and go traffic. Now try doing that with limited hospital beds and limited/overworked medical staff.
Ps.. still waiting on that YouTube link. Thanks.

Covid-19 actually bypassed Sars in terms of mortality rate weeks ago. It's just that it's spread over so many countries (and some who are not reporting actual numbers), that it's harder to notice this.

People in our age group can also have similar medical conditions (respiratory illnesses, heart conditions). If you remember the whistleblower doctor in China was only 34 years old.
Hello, it's been a while. I have no comment on your OP, but the lowest R Naught I've seen mentioned by a medical professional (who are not tied to govt agencies) is 2.6, and that it can be as high as 6.7. Flu R Naught around 1.2.

For those who don't know what that means (not you Dazed), R Naught (R0) is the average number of people an infected person can transmit an illness to.

Death rate globally at around 3% , flu at .1%

There appears to be a 20-30% permanent decrease in lung function in those recovered who needed medical assistance (not just in the ICU), and that is about 15% of all infected people.

Anyone who says this is nothing is severely misinformed or willfully ignorant, regardless of their political leanings.
I just can't get on the same page as most people freaking out. Many people have died in situations 100 times more horrific then anything we will see from this. It will mean nothing in a few months. Just watch. Even if its not that tame and actually is a big deal, there was always people who seen worse and thats life. It isn't always fair then you die. I can't seem how this is so hard for the majority people to understand, or what there is to truly be afraid of. I'm more afraid of the fact people can't accept their fate, and calmly assess it as it comes. People rather lose their minds over nothing. People lived in the rubble of their homes after the whole fucking place was bombed into oblivion, but some random virus that isn't even as intense as a common std is making people buy mass amounts of toilet paper. It makes no fucking sense to me.

Go to your fb and tell me how many people you know are in the hospital with this virus. How many people that you know can 100% confirm they have it? Idc what country you are from, how many people do you personally know with it? You will always know more who have/ died from a disease, and will likely never know someone who died from coronavirus. Just watch.
There's a difference between freaking out and knowing exactly what you're facing. Quite a big one, actually.

This could likely be something close to the Spanish Flu of 1918. Yes, lots of people survived that. But I doubt there were any unaffected.

I think we're past the point of downplaying its severity. I'm not saying to panic, but that this virus warrants caution and it's way past being just some random virus, imo.

I'm literally the type of person who would be laying in a bed coughing and dying due to an illness, and still denying the seriousness of it and acting like its nothing. People are acting like they are going to 100% die from this.

I get that. And without going to drs to be exposed to more, the best course of treatment for a virus is hydrating and rest. The worry comes from the possibility of shit shutting down for a month.. people like me that have 2 babies under 2 years old have to make sure we have formula, or baby food, and items like diapers and wipes.

What drives me mad is that most these peeps drink Pepsi and sweet tea everyday but buy up all the water once an alert is out, like why? You've been living just fine on your own poisonous concoction why buy water now? And the Corona virus is RESPIRATORY, not like diarrhea and vomiting so the craze with tp is beyond me. Everyone who has ever been to the bathroom to find no to knows a rag or something will suffice if needed. People should stock up on humidifiers, and other vitamins that show to help prevent and protect like vit c. But whatever 🤷‍♀️✌

They are proposing shutting down bars and restaurants in my area for two weeks. Cap says the local gun range/store is fucking packed.

This is not good.
If things are shutting down, families should have guns to protect themselves because looting is a real possibility.

The good news is, for most people, the illness caused by the coronavirus is generally mild and the flu-like symptoms of fever and cough don't last long. The bad news is the virus is novel and highly contagious, and right now there is no vaccine. The elderly and those with compromised immune systems or chronic diseases can become very sick and in some cases die.

Hi Sweets! Hope all is well and that you're behaving yourself. 😁
@Supes2, just saw a report that 50% in the Netherlands who are in ICU are under 40.

Dutch doctors have also been informed about patients from Lombardy, Italy, who confirm data that young and relatively healthy people are also

affected by the corona virus. ,, The youngest intubated Covid-19 patient is a girl of 16 years old. Two children with Covid-19 were admitted to the pediatric IC for observation but did not require additional therapy, '' the information circulated among Dutch physicians says. The first patient in that Italian region to receive a ventilator was ventilated for eighteen days, while he was relatively healthy. "It was a 38-year-old, otherwise very healthy man, who ran marathons for this."

The only people dying from corona are over 60 and have medical conditions.

99% of people live


1.7-2.4 isn't higher than 1.5-1.6?


It’s less than 5% difference. Quit being dramatic.

Again, the only people dying from corona are the same ones that would die from the common flu.


1. There is no vaccine for COVID-19 unlike influenza.

2. Not sure how you got 5% ? R-Naught is the average number of people infected from one other person. If we use the highest value of R-Naught you provided (1.6) for influenza compared to the highest possible value for COVID-19 (2.4), we get a 50% increase, not 5% .

3. Imagine adding 50% more vehicles to your daily traffic. You get stop and go traffic. Now try doing that with limited hospital beds and limited/overworked medical staff.


Is on a 0-100 scale man. Wtf


What's on a scale of 0-100?

How did you get a 5% difference? Explain your math, please.


I said it’s less than 5%

Do you know how to calculate percentage change?

The good news is, for most people, the illness caused by the coronavirus is generally mild and the flu-like symptoms of fever and cough don't last long. The bad news is the virus is novel and highly contagious, and right now there is no vaccine. The elderly and those with compromised immune systems or chronic diseases can become very sick and in some cases die.

It’s the damn flu


1. More like pneumonia than the flu.

2. Spreads 50% faster as I explained.


No, it doesn’t spread FASTER. It spreads EASIER

With no containment and no vaccine, easier means faster.

It’s what the people want. Democrats are literally crying for him to do something. It’s the flu for Pete’s sake! AIDS is more contagious than this shit. Measles too.

Plus, he wanted to close the borders weeks ago and y’all started with that racist shit. Now everyone losing their minds because he didn’t do it fast enough.


So you believe it to be unnecessary and overblown?


Absolutely. This is the most ridiculous shit ever


Health professionals would disagree.


I haven’t heard one yet.

The same people dying from corona are dying from the common flu.

Sarrs is far more contagious and where was the panic?


COVID-19 is more contagious than SARS. SARS had a higher mortality rate.

COVID-19 is also far more contagious than our typical influenza strains.


No, it’s not.

The flu R Rate is 1.5-1.6

Corona is 1.5-2.4

Measles is 18-26

Ofc. I do this shit all day

It’s 4.2% which is less than 5% .

Show your math. How are you getting a 4.2% increase in R-Naught?

without intensive care units the death toll will rise exponentially, I wonder if these high number are just because of italy aged population or if there is something more playing at hand 🤔

I'm also worried for the US, Americans might not be as old but high pressure and cardiovascular diseases are rampart all thanks to obesity, I guess we have to wait and see what happens.

Is true about the ibuprofen n cortisol. I might be put on cortisol if bronchitis


I don't think the ibuprofen claim has been peer reviewed, but corticosteroids have been. Patients put on hydrocortisone/prednisone to reduce inflammation have worse outcomes, possibly because steroids are immunosuppressive.

Fuck then what should I ask for

If they're not sure that it ISN'T CV-19, I would ask if a non-steroidal inhaler is available. I had asthmatic bronchitis years ago and the albuterol inhaler was a life saver.

I couldn’t breath it scared me. light chills no coughing but clearing of throat ,

One night I awoke because I couldn’t breath then cleared flem. But no fever so who knows

Do the attacks come n go

It was temporary for me, no history of asthma or bronchitis. I needed the inhaler for a few months. I had been sick and after I thought I should have recovered I was still having problems. I had phlegm but it wouldn't come up and I couldn't take a deep enough breath to get it out. Lasted 2 weeks before I called. Doc said my chest sounded like an accordion.

Now and then I get wheezy so who knows, but never like that since.
I'm just curious how many of you think this just popped up with millions of people that traveled over the holidays.

China's what confirmed it's been going on since the beginning of Dec there and it's just now showing up everywhere...nah. I have a feeling that majority of the people have already had it when they were sick months back. Not everyone goes and gets tested for the flu or a cold and the only reason we are seeing an increase is due to the mass panic and now having tests for it. I wish the people that were fighting something like this months ago could of been tested...I bet it would come back positive.

Hell people are misdiagnosed every damn day...so to say those numbers they give are correct...meh, I'm sorry I just wouldn't rely on it. I remember a couple years ago when the flu hit my city pretty bad...I lost my voice (I have Barrett’s esophagus...losing you voice is not good sign), I was already having bad anxiety so I went to the ER where a nurse listen to my heart beat thru my coat. I didn't even see the doc but yet I was diagnosed with a severe respiratory infection. 😐. I told the nurse that I wasn't sick...I didn't feel sick. She told me that I wouldn't 😐. Turns out...I wasn't...I lost my voice due to acid reflux per a gastroenterologist.

I'm just saying...you can't believe everything that's put out there and this virus has already been here. They are creating mass hysteria for something that should be common sense when you're sick and that a vast majority of people have already went thru. But keep on with believing the same crap they push on us.... government and government agencies have never been wrong and only have ever looked out for the good of the people. 🙄.

I'm not saying "flattening the curve" is a bad thing especially to not over crowd the hospitals but I do think they are going overboard.

And to the people wishing death on someone and I don't care if you like him or not.... you're a horrible person and remember karma is a bitch.
