Covid 19 - We are all screwed - discuss

[Primemuscle]

you have not seen anything yet,....wait for the next Monday. Stay home and thank me later.

Life's too short, specially for old guys like me. I'm not hibernating unless I get sick with the virus and am contagious. Went to the gym as usual today and will do the same tomorrow and everyday there after. To do otherwise is to give in to something which may never happen. Stay strong!

[Primemuscle]

if a few billion people die , what is the problem . . . ? 

If that happens, you will definitely know what the problem is.

[Primemuscle]

Wife walked out the door this morning with no fear as she starts work managing one of the major test clinics set up downtown Toronto. Woman doesn't need to work at all and jumps right into the front lines of dealing with this, literally face to face. I would say the chances of me getting this are big. Bring it COVID!



 

Stay healthy and be strong. The virus goes after the weak and sick.

[Primemuscle]

Half of you people posting on here better hope the virus isn't anything to worry about... if your grandparents die from it then whose basement will you be living in next?

This is exactly what I told my kids and grand kids who live with me! Now they are trying to make me stay at home in isolation (not really). Actually, I'm doing everything I can to stay strong and healthy. I don't want to be a candidate for this virus. Lots of rest, healthy food, exercise and an upbeat attitude. It's all good.

[Primemuscle]

it wasnt a board meeting, it was a karaoke at the old folks home you live in...

Well everyone on the board is either retired or semi-retired so you could be right....only you aren't. Fortunately, we all can afford to and are healthy enough to live in our own homes. Plus, I suck at karaoke. Being the board chair is more my style.

[Primemuscle]

 

LOL! Maybe someday, but not yet.

Looks a little too innocent for him.

Exactly! This is more my style....

Makes one wonder whether they are acting on a moral question or a financial one.

Flexatron posted a real eye opener point in one of these threads.

[Primemuscle]

No not bad ass at all.
Just not buying into mass hysteria & mass control
Even if your so Gullible & wish to be fooled & controled
Some of us are able to Think & act for ourselves

You carry on as you wish.

Exactly. If I get the virus, I'll put myself in quarantine. Unless that happens, I am going to continue living my life as best as I can with our governor shutting everything down. Oregon currently has 47 known cases of coronavirus. Oregon has over 4 million residents. This is just insane.

[Primemuscle]

And how do you do that exactly, think and act for yourselves? Will you go to the gym even though it's locked? Will you meet up with other people even though there's a risk of getting the virus and infecting somebody elder or with an illness that might die because of it?
Will you stop washing your hands?

Let me know all the AWESOME stuff you guys do that others dont, you who can think and act for yourself!

Why is it necessary to exaggerate what people will or won't do. If the gym is locked, don't go. You'd have to break in and that's a crime. With everything closed, there's not much to do if you meet up with other people. Where are you going to meet? Everything is closed. If you get the virus take the appropriate steps to make sure you don't spread it. Elderly people, specially those who are ill eventually die from something or other (I say this and I am elderly) it is just a fact of life. And lastly, why would you ask such a stupid question as "will you stop washing your hands?" No, I am not going to stop washing my hands, in fact, I am washing them more than ever.

Supposed to double every 2-4 days, slowing as you near the peak.  At first you can see the 2 day multiple then it slows to 4 day but now it has slowed again.

Italy were deemed the worst, therefore arguably should get the highest infection rate. Lets say 80%.

Population 60M @ 80% infection is 48M.
Death rate of 2% is 0.96M

Infection of 48M vs reported 0.0028M and data showing it has slowed meaning it should be nearing the peak. That is at odds to the shutdown timing. Incubation is 2 weeks + 1 week to feel bad. The numbers should continue to increase for at least 1-2 weeks before any impact (if any) from the.shutdowns shows a slowing.


Therefore the conclusion is they are slowing down their diagnosis of the virus just like everybody else.

Too much Game of Thrones for you, give it a rest.

What a nerd.

For Italy

"" On 31 January, the first two cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Rome. A Chinese couple, originally from Wuhan, who had arrived in Italy on January 23 via Milan Malpensa Airport travelled from the airport to Verona, then to Parma, arriving in Rome on 28 January. The next afternoon, they developed a cough, and by evening the man had a fever; the couple were taken to Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases where they tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and were hospitalised.[20][2] The Italian government suspended all flights to and from China and declared a state of emergency. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Italy was the first EU country to take this kind of precautionary measure.[21] The government also introduced thermal scanners and temperature checks on international passengers arriving at Italian airports.[22] ""

These numbers perfectly demonstrate what I'm talking about.

The UK government is being savage. They basically want the virus to steadily work it's way through the population taking out many of those who put a strain on the system. My guess is there will be 200,000 corona related deaths in 12 months.

I didn't think any government would have the balls to do that. The US looks to be doing the same thing although I'm not sure it's by design.

Getbigger bringing you all the government plans and predictions before they release the information to the wider public. UK government trying to do some damage limitation now to appease the public, no backing out now though. If our fatter American friends take the same savage course of action as the Brits they are looking at a million deaths.

The government ramped up measures against the coronavirus epidemic following new predictions that the UK could otherwise have seen 250,000 deaths.

They started quarantining on Feb 23, 2020 with only 79 cases. That was 3 weeks ago.

https://www.insider.com/italy-quarantines-cities-over-coronavirus-2020-2

If you don't quarantine early like china and italy the numbers will explode.

The numbers haven't exploded. That's the point.

There is supposed to be 48M in Italy infected by this highly infectious virus. They have 28k with the increase slowing which suggests the peak is near according to them.

Seasonal flu in Italy hits 3M people, kills 70k each year.

This has gotten 28k, killed 2k...... and they shut down a country of 66M......

The data along with such severe shutdowns is not stacking up with what we have been told.

[SOMEPARTS]

I wouldn't mind this lady playing footsie with me.

This reminds me to pick up the latest novel from Danielle Steel.. "The Lady Wore Slacks".

There already is a cure/protection from the virus but the Western world won't allow it

I know that. Clinton was and is a bitch along with his wife. I don't divide people between Republican and Democrats. It's just that Republicans are blindly following a coward.

I divide people between good and shitty. A lot of the shitty ones on this board.

No bigger cowards in Europe than Serbians , who didn't learn about Croatian operation Storm, Serbs "army" was totally destroyed

in 72 hours by Croats  . USAF attacked Serbs airforces in Bosnia  at the same time ,without any casualties .

Don't upset Northern Macedonia, they could trash Serbia too

Even better. You can play cocksie

[friedchickendinner]

If theyre no longer testing, we cannot know how many are infected.
