Trump says carona virus will go away.I believe him.

im not freaking out at all.I update as new info comes in.If you want to update about Vissy, Prime or Ironmeister ,as that has alot of point, you are welcome to go to that thread.I dont remember ever calling you out for that.Paranoid because I said stock up and prepare for a pandemic?Like Canada just officially told it's people to do?My advice might mean you have some extra food in your cupboard you can eat at a later date, your advice telling people there is nothing they can do could get people killed.

You seem very scared.

The most honest answer I can figure is that we know nothing, so I'm only slightly nervous. What will happen, will happen. I bought some extra otc flu medicines across a few different classes. I also added to my stock of canned goods, protein powders, etc.... but that's about it.

The chance to add any respirators, etc... has sailed. Even the more expensive full face industrial models and their filters are sold out.

If you have any pre-existing conditions, I'd probably see if I could get my hands on a few extra months of whatever medicines you need now. This thing has really exposed how dependent we are on China for medical goods of all classes. Everyone from the richest 1st world drug companies to 3rd world producers needs China for something.

The economy will tank some, but we've had a great run the last few years, so I'm hoping it will balance out.

I was somewhat happy when I saw that Europe was keeping a lid on it. But now, with the rather large clusters in Italy, and reports that it is spending across Europe, my hopes are a bit dashed. I also don't believe in the the US is putting on it. That's all about keeping the economy somewhat stable.

I do think the spin that warmer temperatures will kill it off has merit. Hong Kong, Singapore, etc... have slowed down their infection rate, but realistically most of the US won't see sustainable warmer temperatures (70f +) till late May or so, so we've still got a long way to go.

Anyway, those were just some random thoughts on this. For real Coronavirus news I like -

It’s okay to be scared.

Don't be fooled by the media horror frenzy.........check the stats.............2% fatality...........what else do you really need to know??

[Army of One]

Don't just check the stats, actually look at what they are telling you.

Of the 29,000 known cases that have an outcome, 9% have resulted in death.

Of the 51,000 ongoing cases, 23% are in critical condition.

And it's well known China have been lying.The 10th Italian just died, out of 332.Out of that 332 many more will certainly die as the infection is still early there..Irans is said to be even higher, above 20%.And 2% is till 20x more deadly than flu?While being twice as contagious?You somehow see this as good if this was the case?

Wait what stats are we to believe?

How can we know what they are saying if we dont know what stats are true?  2% death rate?  29,000 case with 9% dead or 51,000 cases with almost 1/4 of those being in critical condition...

What are the ages and health statistics of these individuals prior to infection?

Another big thing to look at is what percentage of capacity your country's hospitals work at normally. In big cities it creeps into 90%'s+. If we see even a decent outbreak here, it will make timely medical services very hard to come by. A few extra patients here or there, isn't a huge burden for 1st world countries, but if we start seeing numbers in the 1000's.....

The US CDC is getting more pessimistic by the day -

"We can have community spread in the United States and have it be reasonably mild, we can have community spread in the U.S. and have it be very severe. So that's what we don't completely know yet."

"We're asking folks in every sector, as well as people within their families, to start planning for this, because as we've seen from the recent countries that have had community spread, when it hit in those countries, it has moved quite rapidly".

Those are some of the latest quotes from them.

Of the 80k cases, 29000 have either died, or survived and now test negative.Of those 29000 cases, 9% died.Of the 51k remaining of the so far 80k infected that have neither died, or recovered and tested negative, 23% are in critical condition.And again it looks like these numbers for China should be much higher with what we are seeing unfold in Iran and Italy.

So according to the numbers you provided we have 80k people who have been infected. 2600 have died from the infection. 26,400 have survived and are no longer ill.

We still dont have vital information such as age and status of the infecteds health prior to infection.  This information would be vital in determining how deadly this virus really is.

so whats happened to the 51k?

[Dave D]

so whats happened to the 51k?

They could be dying.

Or they could be recovering.

We don’t know, so it’s best to speculate the worst.

most will get better, its only old people and people with poor health thats dropping dead.

The Centers for Disease Control report that about 4,280 pedestrians die as the result of being struck by cars each year and another 70,000 pedestrians are injured as the result of being hit by a car. This is a total of 74,280 pedestrians struck by cars each year.
