Forest fires are a natural process to clear out the deadwood. Pandemics accomplish the same thing. Put on a sweater, wash your hands, and ride it out.

That is opinion of people who study these things on a daily basis. I am not paranoid at all because of that. I am more worried about drug shortages than anything else. Here's the thing; we have other experts who study this that are saying the opposite and some that say, we simply dont have enough data yet to make projections. It's just what you choose to believe. You believe the entire population is going to contract this thing, including yourself. Sorry bud, I dont and I refuse to live my life that way. That said, you do you. I'm not telling anyone how to react to this...to each their own. Just sharing how I'm handling this and I'm great with disagreeing. Hopefully I'm right. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 35 minutes ago, JiF said: Walking around telling people you are convinced you're going to contract it and that they will too, sounds extremely paranoid, to say the least. I dont know a single person that shares this sentiment. It's not inconceivable that 60% or the population will get it. It's a pandemic that mutates and there is no built in immunity. People who compare it to the flu forget that most people in the high risk group get flu shoots that mitigate symptoms, duration and even keeps people from getting it. I'm not paranoid or scared but I do think the chances of me or a family member getting it is about 50/50. How does that make me or anyone else paranoid? Angela Merkel calmly told the German people yesterday that there's a chance that 2 out of every 3 people will get it. Acceptance of what may happen isn't paranoia anymore than denial is a sign of mental health. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, a lot of people have already had it and haven’t realized it yet. In some areas, an unknown illness was going around since late December. Lots of pneumonia. Wasn’t the flu. Getting it and dying from it are very different things. The real issue are the long lasting effects, which there isn’t a lot of information yet. But the news from those who have been fighting it for months is not encouraging. Oh, and the fact that there might be different strains as some people are getting it more than once.
