Is everyone in a fullblown panic because of coronavirus?

  1. The dems better hope that it is not sexually transmitted. Otherwise it is going to hit their ilk pretty hard, given that most dems spend a good deal of their time just thinking about or involved in sex and/or drugs.

    Be careful out there. Just lookin out for you as always.

    Hmph. That's certainly an interesting perspective.
    It might help global warming too now that you brought it up.

    I've already found a cure for this virus. Steadily drink Corona beer until the symptoms pass, but it only works if you add a lime slice in the bottle. Squeezed, of course, and lick your fingers afterwords so no juice is wasted. :cool:

    This is a silly question. I do not know anyone who has died in the last 18 months, because all the people I have known have died years ago, before this outbreak. You are not good at scientific polls. :)

    At he moment the fatality rate is less than 3%, that means if 65 million people do die, then over 2Billion people would have been infected. That would mean massive disruption. Hospitals would not be able to cope.
    If your city was one of those badly hit you would not want to leave the house. And hopefully have a decent supply of food.
    Lets all hope it doesn't get that bad.

    Just saw this, if we can just start calling the coronavirus by it’s proper name, the “Kung Flu”. :D

    I am going to tag this post, because when this thing fizzles out, clowns like you will claim that there was never a prediction that it would kill 10s of millions.

    BTW, they made the same claim about SARS, MERS, Bird Flu, and Swine Flu.

    SARS, bird flu, MERS, Ebola, swines flu, now a new coronavirus are all potentially serious but as far as global pandemics go, we - the world - have shown we have a decent capacity to handle this stuff.

    What is concerning is China as a country is not reliable in reporting accurately on this stuff. So 3% mortality rate is very suspect to me and I would doubt that number unless independently verified.
