Title: Coronavirus - Who’s Calling Bullshit
Post by: Thin Lizzy on March 17, 2020, 02:06:30 PM
Check in and state your reasoning. Here’s mine:


On March 1, 2020, I ran in a 5K with over 5000 other runners in Manhattan. At the start of these races, everyone is crammed into corrals and has to stand there for about 15 minutes. It was my fourth race of this type this year. The point is that social distancing didn’t start until very recently. So, the Virus had the entire winter, the heart of flu season, to do its thing in New York City, which has the largest Chinese population in America, yet at no point did I ever hear about any hospitals being overrun or even that it was an unusually bad flu season.

I’m at the point where I’m laughing at these idiots walking around wearing masks.

Even though I'll do anything to avoid wearing masks, I see no harm to others in doing so. Being claustrophobic, whenever I've tried to wear a mask of any kind, it makes me very anxious and I feel as if I cannot breathe. If I were contagious, I would choose to isolate myself rather than wear a mask.

Saw a few people wearing masks at the supermarket this morning.

One guy had it over his mouth but not over his nose.  ::)

A couple women with masks and very determined expressions.  >:(

Meanwhile the cashier was talking a blue streak and handling everyone's food items.  No hand sanitizer in sight.  ???

This. All this social distancing and avoiding the public is useless when you consider how many hands have handled the food items you’re buying and putting in your mouth. Now just imagine the hygiene levels of your local fast food employee, or your Uber Eats driver....

China has had approx 80.000 cases & 4500 deaths out of a population of 1.4+ billion
And is now seeing the new infections rate drop each day.

In the U.K. approx 20,000 Die each year due to Flu out of a population of 65milion
No lock downs / no hysteria/ no avoid people/ just a flu jab around October time.

Something not adding up with No’s and the level of response in terms of trying to

I hope we come out of it with a new global financial answer to devaluation of debt via QE mechanism in order to inflate wages (and prices but debt gets devalued).

If we come out with no financial solutions, people will riot.

For Italy. Like the rest of us, the public are not tested, you need to rock up in dire need at a hospital.

Shortage of test kits meaning not everyone gets tested even if badly sick.

Shortage of beds. If you dont get a bed, they dont test you.

Time lag for testing and results.

Old people are rocking up and dying 24hrs later before they are tested. They are not diagnosed as corona and therefore not recorded as a corona death.

The numbers are WAY off base with what is reslly happening. When you see.your social media friends posting about them or family being sick, you know it's everywhere. Peak is supposed to be in 8 weeks time according to Goldman Sachs.

Given the absurdly over blown reaction, it’s hard not to come to this conclusion.


This book has held up well:


The game in Wall Street and how to play it success. Published in 1898.

A real thorough panic comes along about once in 20 years, there will be two or three years of uncertainty  then confidence will be restored and the financial barometer will commence to rise.

There are no panics on the stock exchange except when the pools are out of stocks.

Every big fall in prices that we have noticed on the exchanges has not come until after a big rise.

Very sadly the Old & infirm are always going to be the most vulnerable in any health related
Issue - I go back to the number of elderly / infirm people who die of Flu related illness each year

The factory supplying my products out of Shanghai are at 50%. Workforce management is in place with small teams coming back.

Component suppliers in Hubei region remain completely shut down.  So whilst we can produce small qtys, we will have component shortages soon if it does not reopen. Then again, retail has tanked globally so with everyone buying less, stock turns have increased so the product shortage scenario gets pushed down the road.

That's because they locked down the whole country and quarantined everyone. Why is this so hard to understand?
China went into lock down when they had 2,700 cases and 81 deaths. They responded early preventing millions of infections and deaths.
Now you know why other countries are also going into lock down.

I get the feeling that China waited months to even admit the virus existed.

They only went on lockdown because of media and foreign political pressure.

We will probably find out years from now that the statistics they reported were way too low.

I was sick for just over 2 weeks, near constant headache, nasty cough & all around just felt like shit. A few days after i started feeling better the guy i work with started getting sick, kicked his ass in short order & was tested after a trip to the Dr.... it came back positive. He’s on the mend now but had a much harder time than i did... The shits everywhere & the vast majority of people that have it don’t even know. The bottom line is unless you have existing health issues, are old (my coworker is early 60s) or have shit luck you’ll be fine

Why are you considering China's whole population?

The disease was pretty much looked down to Wuhan.

It would be more appropriate to take Wuhan's population/number of cases as a guideline.

And you also need to consider that the lock down was implemented before less than 100 deaths.

Yes agree.... and keep the hygiene practices up as it does slow the spread, which takes the pressure of the health care system, when older people do have severe cases so more can be saved.

If people could handle their corona infected elderly mother or grandmother being turned away from hospital to die at home or a pregnant woman getting sent away to give birth at home then we could all just carry on as normal.

It's gonna keep spreading but as long as the curves are reasonably flat as we are seeing then that's it....

As more cases are recorded we're seeing the real mortality rates coming through, it will be well below 1%

Males don't go sterile by a rule, but they're swimmers slow with advancing age, lots of men can still impregnate in their 70's especially with some help clomid hcg etc....

A respiratory virus making men sterile sounds like total nonsense.

Check in and state your reasoning. Here’s mine:


On March 1, 2020, I ran in a 5K with over 5000 other runners in Manhattan. At the start of these races, everyone is crammed into corrals and has to stand there for about 15 minutes. It was my fourth race of this type this year. The point is that social distancing didn’t start until very recently. So, the Virus had the entire winter, the heart of flu season, to do its thing in New York City, which has the largest Chinese population in America, yet at no point did I ever hear about any hospitals being overrun or even that it was an unusually bad flu season.

I’m at the point where I’m laughing at these idiots walking around wearing masks.

Laughing at these idiots? Were there lot of Chinese runners in that happening? Is there somewhere proved that Chinese are only who spread this virus? So how about countries like Island, where is just about 3 Chinese people? How about Mexicos Chinese population? In some point you should understand that covid-19 born in China, but american, european etc. tourist, workers etc. spread it all over the world, when they left China to "get safe" in their own country. Now it is another way around, these people are returning at their work in China, and infect more people in there  ;D

On March 1, 2020, I ran in a 5K with over 5000 other runners in Manhattan. At the start of these races, everyone is crammed into corrals and has to stand there for about 15 minutes. It was my fourth race of this type this year. The point is that social distancing didn’t start until very recently. So, the Virus had the entire winter, the heart of flu season, to do its thing in New York City, which has the largest Chinese population in America, yet at no point did I ever hear about any hospitals being overrun or even that it was an unusually bad flu season.

I’m at the point where I’m laughing at these idiots walking around wearing masks.

Which is fine if you clean your hands. I rather have that then someone coughing.

Are you walking around with hand sanitizer in your pocket? Oh that's right, just don't touch your face.

This was the first death. Look at the date. Meanwhile we went through the entire winter, Christmas, New Year’s eve, sporting events, concerts, theaters, schools open, offices open, and the first person to die probably had very little social interaction.



First coronavirus-related death confirmed in New York State

ALBANY — Coronavirus has claimed its first life in New York.
A woman with underlying respiratory issues died in Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, Gov. Cuomo announced this morning.
“We had last night a death in a New York City hospital of an 82-year-old woman who had coronavirus. She came into the hospital on March 3,” he said. “She contracted the coronavirus on top of emphysema, then she passed.”

If people could handle their corona infected elderly mother or grandmother being turned away from hospital to die at home or a pregnant woman getting sent away to give birth at home then we could all just carry on as normal.

Politicians would get hung in the streets though if they let that happen.



This is a fair point but the panic and hysteria just make things worse and turns it into a self fulfilling prophecy. Now, everybody with a little cough or sore throat thinks they have Corona and is going to head to the hospital.

In fact, I actually know an older woman who was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery and has been “turned away” by the hospital because they’re not allowing elective surgeries until this blows over.

Early on there was mention of it making males sterile.

Any more info on that? Is it true? Is there a certain age that sterility happens?
only if it kills you..

Planned event to tank the economy.  It always has and will come down to money.

The reaction and over exaggeration of the severity of the virus will tank the economy, not the virus itself. Totally planned panic to achieve that result.

I believe the virus is a test of sorts as we move into the post nuclear deterrant age we enter the age of viral bioweapons. Also possible is the fact that some1 so.ewhere has intel that terrorists might be planning attacks with similar viruses.

Of course the most doom and gloom is simply that covid19 isnt going anywhere and once it finds and intermediate host to mutate and reinfect us we will have to deal with a new pandemic of it every fucking year until it kills us all.

China may have releazed the virus into its own population knowing how to handle the outbreak as a deterrant againt the US leveraging sanctions as well as food (china depends on us for food much more than we depend on them--well on second thought now we depend on each other them our food us their medications and supplies against the boogeyman virus)

Tommy - when this shit all turns out to be like any other “new flu” - YOU will be a hero. No one can say that you have ever said red on your opinion!
I had to play the corporate game and let anyone that needs to work from home (but there have been tons already doing that) - but I just don’t see this getting worse than H1N1

Double M. Hope you're well... Training hard and staying healthy. 

We can all be smart, wash our hands several times daily, keep our older friends and relatives social interaction to a minimum, if you get sick stay away from everyone you can.  It's the madness that needs to cease. Hoarding toilet paper and water- WTH?  Media spinning statistics to imply we are all doomed. Politicians grand standing.

Even in a situation where your life is in real imminent danger... we can behave as big strong full grown men. Every person here will survive this. I for one, hope to look back and be able to say, '...I was never afraid, I never behaved poorly, I never spread fear. I behaved as a man...'

Stay cool brother.

Tom

These are my marching orders from my son-in-law. I don't like them because it means if I go to the gym (only one of which is still open for business) I'm gonna hear a bunch of shit about it. It's easier just to comply. But damn, I'm bored already and it's probably going to go on for at least another couple of weeks.

Can anyone/everyone tell me something

Is Donald Trump a relatively decent person? Does anyone have a mmm educated opinion on this?

I want to know because I am at home depot and i just realized something- there are still how many "illegal aliens" who are looking for work right this second? Men with established lives and families to feed.

Is Trump going to take care of them?

Because i have a sinking feeling this "pandemic" is potentially (could) be used in his agenda against them.

I would not care for that very much. I hope im wrong. I hope he has a heart.

Hes opening pandoras box if my i stincts are right.

Can anyone weigh in on this? Please tell me im wrong. Im not looking for a political debate per se, this is a human issue.

Fuck

I am guessing eventually this forced quarantine will work like this you will only be allowed out in public or to work or buy food if you get a vaccine and have proper docume tation proving who you are

To stop the spread of "deadly" covid19

And naturally from there to stop fraud and forged documents you will be required to have a small computer rfid chip implanted in your body scannable everywhereyou go

As foretold in the bible. And dont tel me im crazy its literally happening
