Corona virus

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that swine flu infected nearly 61 million people in the United States and caused 12,469 deaths. Worldwide, up to 575,400 people died from pandemic swine flu



300,000+ US hospitalizations.

My son was one.

It's one thing to aware. It's another to go off the deep end.

And no, we didn't depress the US economy. And Swine flu was never called "Obama flu".

You live in the greatest country God ever created.

My microbiology degree is old, but you guys have no idea the genius of the people working on this issue.

It took 3 days to have the gene sequencing. 3 days.

Turn off the damn news. You don't believe every house will burn down, every corner is covered with hookers, etc, etc, when every day that is the drum beat. You shouldn't believe them here.

Don Lemon and Sean Hannity get paid to have you watch. That's what's going on.

Must have taken 2 days to get the sample and write the press release - with modern tech it's a one day affair. A long cry from my days in the lab.

As pointed out in the Mayo podcast, closing schools, which have populations of the lowest risk, in cities without any cases is an overreaction, and puts an additional and unnecessary strain on the healthcare industry, as many nurses have children, and nurses need to be at work, not worrying about how to take care of a kid that should be in school.

I noticed you didn't answer the question.

What is the President supposed to say?

Here is something he should stop saying until it is true. " Anyone who wants a test can get a test."

Sadly, we shit the bed regarding testing, up to and including the present. The only reason our numbers aren't higher, is that we have tested fewer people in total than other countries are testing daily.

 

[VikingsGuy]

You don't believe every . . . corner is covered with hookers

Who's going to break this news to @JohnCushman?

 

[Losing_Sanity]

Yeah, we're relying on statistics from China (dubious) and cases and a minority of cases in Italy and South Korea.

Yeah, it's hard to see how it could spread so fast in China. Multiple families living in the same house, same rooms, houses built 3 feet apart, extremely over populated and crowded everywhere. Can't understand it...

Maybe the truth? Maybe what scientist and medical professionals are telling him? Maybe speak to the issue at hand instead of making things out to be a political rally about him? Maybe deliver coherent and factual information? FFS, he obviously didn't even proofread his teleprompt last night, or he wouldn't have mistakenly told the nation we would be banning goods from Europe?

This coming from the guy who dismisses the factual information on where the outbreak occurred, how it spread, how we got here?

I know. Orange Man bad.

They told us 20 years for human genome project. Took 7 I believe.

Would someone please interject a disparaging euphemism for 'the orange sump'n sump'n's' opposing legislators so we can coalesce to one of the three panic threads by order of elimination.

Suddenly having a garden full of food that has not been touched by dozens of people and that you don't have to go anywhere to get seems like a great idea.

Finished this up this past weekend. Based off of the hügelkultur method of eastern Europe. Rotten wood on bottom, leaf litter, sticks, straw in layers. It will be getting sown with lettuces, spinach soon followed by radishes, carrots, etc. My 4th large raised bed, as well as having about a half acre of traditional garden, hundreds of jars, 3 pressure canners, fermenters for kraut. Makes it less worrisome on the food front.

See you stray cat haters they have a purpose in 2020 eco system.

As I said elsewhere in this thread.

H1N1
12,500 deaths / 60 million infections = 0.2% death rate.

Coronavirus
Assume same 60 million infections x Estimated 2% death rate = 1,200,000 deaths.

Although there is a lot unknown, the above is the concern. Of course that death rate could fluctuate either way but so could the infection rate.

And I watch/read plenty of news, from various sources, and I've not heard "Trump Flu" either. Maybe because I avoid the extremes on either end?

This worked one other time, and I'm willing to give it a shot again

Umm, show me where I dismissed the factual information of where the outbreak occurred? Yes, I said the country of origin was insignificant. Where did I dispute how it spread?

I notice you don't address any of the answers I gave you. As usual, you continue to distort things to fit your agenda. Just like Groundhog Day.

Carry on.

Will Chinese mail order brides have to start carrying cards to say they are disease free like the hookers in Budapest?

 

[Frenchy]

I have not heard the term "Trump-Flu" either for what it's worth.

Only the hot ones.

Down playing this may have solidified the base however i wonder at what cost?

Not just outside of the cyber world but on target here people love to run with a negative story, albeit it could be a truth but if its negative it will circulate faster than corvid 19.

I think we're all still working on the vaccine.
