It will come and it will spread. Nothing to worry too much about, many of the diagnosed people weren’t actually sick but got to know they had the virus because they were close to a symptomathic person. (Wether old or with a chronic disease in most cases) The medias handling is ridiculously hair-raising and poorly informative to the point you’ve got to make your own researches to have a clear Idea of the symptoms.
Not worried but there’s a lot to learn from what’s going on.
I think this should be taken seriously. But at the same time I don't understand the hysteria or the need to cancel major events. To me this seems to be played up by nearly every news and public organization. I don't agree that it is deadlier than the flu, it is not. 9 people have died in the US, that is all. There are 120 known cases, so even using 7.5% death rate for US I don't see how that makes it deadlier. Really for 2 reasons. 1) We have no idea if that number is anywhere near accurate. We don't know how many people are undiagnosed, how many are asymptomatic. That number can be off by 10, even 100 times or more. We really just have no idea. 2) Assume those numbers are correct. How is that more deadly? Disease A infects 120 people and 9 die. Disease B infects 18 million people and 18,000 die. Which is more deadly, A or B? I would argue B every single time. Sure, disease A had a higher "death rate," but in no way would I consider it more deadly.
I'm not saying we shouldn't take it seriously. But just don't see it warranting canceling major events or the hysteria that is starting to pop up. The morning news told me to go to the store and buy a week's worth of food, water and supplies just in case. Seriously?
Shouldn't you always have a week's worth of food in your house? I don't think that's hysteria.
And the US is only seeing the start of this so your numbers comparing this to a whole flu season pretty off.
I suggest everyone listen to the professionals.
I agree. That was part of my point though, we just don't know. But even China doesn't have number that compare to the flu. So treating it like its the next plaque also seems excessive.
Having a regular supply of food and the local news (of a state where we haven't even seen 1 case yet) encouraging people to stock up on toilet paper, wipes, food and bottles water (we've never had an issue with tap water here by the way) seems like 2 completely different things.
I am a professional....just not om this subject. Does that count?
Sorry, doesn't count.
Many people dedicate their life to studying these things. None of them are saying we should panic, but they are saying we should be prepared. I don't know why anyone would push against being prepared for the worst case scenario. Sounds reasonable to me.
When stores like Costco are selling out of toilet paper and the local news is telling you to stock up on water bottles, even though the water is fine, I'm just saying I think that is a little overkill. We should be concerned and be prepared and do our best to stay healthy, partly because we don't know how bad it really is. I just think it is being a little played up, things don't seem to match. Just today my governor said they plan to have 160 tests per day available. That doesn't add up to me. If this is worse than the flu, 160 tests a day is nothing. We should be testing everyone with a fever and even cold symptoms if we are supposed to be as worried as many say we should be. Testing 160 people a day is going to do absolutely nothing if this is half of what the flu is. I know it sounds like I'm contradicting myself. I'm just saying why should we stock up on water, but then have virtually no plan to test? Why are we freaking out over this and not doing the same for the flu? If we're selling out of masks for this, we should be encouraging it for the flu too. It doesn't seem level to me.
Are you sure they didn't say 160 kits? Each kit can test 700-800 patients.

That actually makes a lot more sense. He probably did say kits. Thanks for clarifying.

I would have assumed the same thing before I saw someone else link to this. One kit sounds like an individual test. You'd like to see public officials call that out so people don't freak out.
Meanwhile, the VP in charge of the Coronavirus response is telling America that any American who wants to be tested can be. Too bad all will be forgotten in a week or so.
Since the first Coronavirus death six days ago, there’s been 11 confirmed deaths in the US in six days. Meanwhile, Congress is about to vote on an approximately $8 billion dollar emergency response package while 109 people per day die from guns, 654 since the first Coronavirus death, if the daily tally has been accurate. Yet nothing can be done, money shouldn’t be allocated to address the issue or any effort made to stop the carnage.
Don’t forget your body armor and bullet resistant back pack on your way to work or school or movie theater, restaurant or concert venue. Forget sanitizer and masks, body armor is where it’s at.
People are so stupid. And Asians are being abused in public here, even if they are not from China. A fellow student from Malaysia had some guy giving her stupid comments after she sneezed on public transport.
So that kinda shit is not just a White America thing. That's awful.
Are you in Placer County, Brian? I heard that California reported their first death. The man was from Placer County and may have contracted the virus on a Princess Cruise to Mexico. My county just reported its 9th death due to COVID-19 today.

Not quite, Jeff. I'm in neighboring EL Dorado County. There have been no reports of COVID-19 in our county yet... yet being the operative word. I'm guessing it will show up most everywhere eventually. I hope not.
I just had my Shingrix II shingles vaccination so by tomorrow I fully expect to feel like I have the flu (this is normal, it happened with Shingrix I) I'll probably feel like this is a trial run for whatever comes down the pike, lol. (I'm trying humor rather than worry, but I'm probably better at worrying.)

Must say, it was nice to overcome the fear of driving up the mountain today to ski with SuperBlood Wolfman (as my kid prefers to sing). Much nicer than reading the grim news all the ding-dong day-o. I cut a better groove though with Dance. Very nice day. I'm still rocking a mellow, content, beautiful glow reflecting the beauty of the nature and song. I keep picturing Ed telling the "brawl" story while insanely high and giggling too much to get the lines hoping that I hurt your (giggle too much), hoping that I hurt your (giggle too much). What a cutie.

their favorite athletes compete. Tickets available on-site.

Dude, are you serious with this? I smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins. It was me, Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering and they were blazing that shit up everyday.
Embarrassed to be Australian right now. Instead of stocking up on food and disinfectant, Australian shoppers have stocked up on toilet paper. How did we become so stupid?

Right on, Rob! We take 2,000 IU's of D3 as well as cal-mag and some other vitamins and supplements and always keep some echinacea capsules on hand.
