14 in Green Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 @greenwave81 ACC Tournament not allowing spectators (limited tix to family) tomorrow. They did allow them yesterday and today. NBA season halted NHL probably the same tomorrow... I don't know, is it me, or are we over reacting? I'm not making light of this, but what is the difference from going to a sporting event, and lets say a shopping mall?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Until a vaccine is developed, things will just continue to shut down world wide. Since testing is so delayed here in US, there’s just no accurate data to truly gauge just how bad this is here and how bad it’s going to get. People, institutions are already reacting. Wait until the tests are available. The numbers will skyrocket and so will the panic. It’s already a given half the population will get this. It’s a matter of staying healthy as possible to fight it off if infected. Eat right Take zinc - drink water. Zinc is really important Daily since it zeroes in on respiratory infections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPitch Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 39 minutes ago, Butterfield said: Is it really that difficult to understand? There is a lot of research out there to be read if you are at all interested. Do you (or anyone) consider sars and mers, which are the coronavirus’ closest relatives to be anything like the flu? I get it, the flu is an easy comparison, but its not a good one. and, no, I’m not paranoid. I am realistic. I know that I am going to get it, just as most everyone will. Not much any of us can really do about it. Im not familiar with sars and mers. Yes there is a lot of info out there and most say its a flu with flu based symptoms and just like the flu some people can and will die from it. the thing is the good doctor gave sound advice and you made it sound as if he was he was another sheep. so what do you know that others dont? You kinda made it sound like the plague being disguised as a virus look Im also concerned and i have been washing my hands 10 times a day and changing some behaviors. Im the end this is probably nothing. A lot of old folks will die and life will be disrupted. Not at all happy about cancelling my plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, COVID-19 while a lot more contagious than SARS and MERS is a lot less lethal. COVID-19 is contagious enough to spread the globe...but it's lethality? Not so much. Right, and it was more lethal it'd be easier to contain because you'd have less contagious people out in public with mild or no symptoms. Like SARS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTM Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 1 hour ago, More Cowbell said: Ok, if this is no more dangerous than the flu, why did we just suspend travel from europe for 30 days, why is Italy making it mandatory that all stores except food and pharmacies be closed, why is there a whole town in New Rochelle quarnatined, why is the NCAA banning fans from March Madness, why did the NBA just suspend the season because this is just the flu, why did the CDC just declare a pandemic? I think the answer to all of that is this is new, which means they don't know what this is yet.. so better safe than sorry. Additionally, people don't have any immunity. They know it's spreading quickly, so why not take every precaution possible just in case this is something that is more easily transmitted than the flu and has a high mortality rate. It could wipe out millions, or it could be similiar to a seasonal flu.. why risk the former even if the latter is more likely?? Even on a personal level ,I'm not to worried about this tbh, that being said I've stocked up on caloricaly dense non perishables just in case cause nobody knows for sure what this looks like in a month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there seems to be a deeper motive. Is it possible they are that stupid? It’s like they are purposely neglecting to be honest about the situation by propagating this falsehood that there’s nothing to worry about. If there are extremely limited tests, then the numbers wouldn’t reflect the actual problem. If there was adequate testing, as in S Korea, you could get more of a sense of its spread. But then of course, the reaction would have a direct hit on the economy. Its as if they are Hiding the truth to save their azz at the expense of millions.

Can someone tell me how South Korea and other countries were already prepared with 10's or 100's of thousands of these tests just as this virus ramped up but the US doesn't have them, can't seem to get them or can't manufacture them over several weeks?
