No, I'm not.  I'm saying the current economic disaster is based on a bunch of bullshit.  Your information is accurate.  

So you think that it doesn't mean anything economically, if vast majority of the people stay in their home, not going work, not going shopping, not using petrol, not using services at all? When I go to mall here in Finland, I see 3 people, other than staff. These places live only if there is thousands of people every day of the week, buying stuff. There will be lot of businesses going bankrupt at the moment, even more in the future, and there is no way to stop that. Just look at the empty gyms; they have to pay their rents no matter if they have customers or not. Where they take that money?

In meantime virus is still gaining speed for next weeks, until situation start to ease. Yesterday,  01:52:05 AM there were 14250 covid 19 cases, 32.5% more than night before. How about today? Since that, there has been 37,8% more cases, now there is 19 624 cases. Almost 40% more in hours? How about tomorrow? 27 000 cases?

All the self-appointed, so called experts are coming out of the woodwork over CVID-19.

Coronavirus vs Flu

Established statistics with an enormous sample built over many decades, vs stats from three months with a small sample and huge numbers of uncontrolled viables eg testing rates, eg different locations, eg hospitalisation rates, where mild patients are being hospitalised all over to contain spread...

Incubation time 1-14 days? That's just the minimum to the maximum, (a total guess to play it safe) and is totally inaccurate?

You think your clever but you post dumb shit like this that's totally inaccurate.

From what we have seen I think covid 19 is comparatively worse than the flu, in terms of severity, but these statistics most definitively overstate that fact and are inaccurate so I wouldn't cite them.

[harmankardon1]

you're  

I don't think the flu stats are accurate. I've never had the flu in my life, and I've never met anyone who has been officially diagnosed with the flu by a doctor. The flu is a big hoax to scare people into yearly vaccinations.

Coronavirus is more believable because they are keeping track of each infection and death and showing us in realtime. The flu is just random big numbers that we are supposed to believe.

is focused more on the virus’ internal challenge than its global impact.
Instead of rallying the world, as it has in the past on major challenges,
the U.S. is brawling with other countries affected by the crisis."

I cannot take articles like this seriously.  The author is a college kid, who writes sensationalized stories.  The story you posted starts with her stating:

"I spoke to a respiratory therapist there, whose job is to ensure that patients are breathing well. He works in a medium-sized city hospital’s intensive care unit. (We are withholding his name and employer, as he fears retaliation."

So basically, she could be making shit up, or she might have spoken to a 21 year medical tech, whose job is to check vital signs.  Regardless, news stories like this one cannot be taken seriously.  There are zero statistics or facts noted.  Here is the author:

LOL

Women are fucking useless in a crisis.

I’m not gonna lie. I bought into this bullshit for the first few days, washing my hands 20 fucking times. Then I started thinking about it and realized it’s not about the virus at all. It’s all economics.


A giant credit bubble was about to pop and the virus has provided a convenient pretext for governments to print huge amounts of money. That’s it in a nutshell.

[Thin Lizzy]

If you are thinking of this in terms of the virus, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

Make no mistake about it. This is what it’s really about.

Europe’s Central Bank Vastly Expands Stimulus Measures

A new surge of bond purchases is intended to counteract “serious risks” to the eurozone economy as investors start to doubt Italy’s creditworthiness.

“Extraordinary times require extraordinary action,” Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank, said on Twitter early Thursday. “There are no limits to our commitment to the euro.”

Coronavirus vs Flu

We don't know the total cases for Corona exposure/infection....It's certainly going to go up as more are tested.   In Germany the death rate for Corona is about the same as for the flu.

How about Corona virus v flu.........

Add me to your list because I've never had the flu or the flu vaccine. Unlike you, I do know people who say they've had the flu. On the other hand, I've had more than enough colds throughout my entire life until the last couple of years when I started getting a pneumonia shot each year.  

Both the flu and COVID-19 are viruses. From what I've recently read the coronaviruses are basically another name for colds, since they all produce respiratory symptoms. coronaviruses can cause bacterial respiratory infections which is basically what pneumonia is.

The last couple of days, I've had a mild headache which comes and goes and more recently, a mild stomachache. The headache could just be boredom and the stomachache is likely something I ate which did not agree with me. However, right now with the COVID-19 pandemic, every little irregular symptom on has is suspect. I hate worrying about something I can't do anything to avoid aside from social distancing and constantly washing my hands. Surely not everyone with COVID-19 had dirty hands and made a habit of hugging people.

"Flu is a hoax to scare people into yearly vaccinations"...then what? How this moronic plan goes on? They invent this to sell vaccinations, which by the way are free in the most of the western world. If they need money, why don't they rise your taxes by 0.01% and earn billions by doing it? So what is the plan behind this vaccine- hoax? Please explain?

You have never had a flu, so flu  must be hoax? Or you are just too simple to understand, that you have a flu. So how about breast cancer?  Have you have it? If no, it must also be a hoax by your logic? Or are you using one one of the stupidest arguments of all time "I don't know shit about it so it can't be real.."

So lame.

Such a shit gimmick.

[Thin Lizzy]

A more realistic scenario is that corona is a problem that has been greatly exaggerated in order to provide cover for the popping of a credit bubble and the subsequent currency devaluation via money printing. You have to be pretty naïve to not smell a rat and think this whole deal is about a few old dead Chinks and Wops. There had to be something else.

Look for the hysteria to die down soon now that the public has been conditioned:

Wouldn’t it be more credible to think COVID-19 is a retaliatory attack on the U.S. economy by China ?

No, we’re their biggest customer. That would just be shooting themselves in the foot.

Yes, but they are also our largest debt holder.

Why would they want the U.S. paying off debt with a hyper inflated currency ?
