1'st Camp : Non-Believers - (well, one has to choose a name...) those who think, that CV is nothing to worry about. Subcategories : People that share only (or mostly) facts. People that share positive news. People that are simply optimistic and hope it's gonna be alright. 2'nd Camp : OldRona Believers - those who think that virus is a very serious treat. Subcategories : People that share facts or journeys into deep-underground calculations, of what could happen. People that share negative news with little facts turned into conspiracy theories. People that have a negative,pessimistic outlook / are afraid, share news based on emotions,but not facts. People that lost their mind and don't know what da hell is happening / which year it is and where all of the paper is gone. Camp 0.5 Those in between, who are undecided or don't care (maybe even don't know) Subcategories : forum bots and Alexa The question : What both groups are trying to achieve > ? To calm people down ? (if at least one person starts to think with his own head, - it's worth it) To make predictions ? (yeah, those work just well...) To inform people, so they could make their own mind ? (how legit is your source, is it a fact or opinion ? To cause... More panic ? (some people just want to see world burn) To have fun ? ( why not ) To prove a point and ,,beat' another member in verbal battle of words ? To get more likes, from the members who share same beliefs as you do ? To prove that the whole opposing group is a bunch of idiots (woah, that's possible... ?) More important question, - what is it - that you are trying to achieve as individual ? Is it worth it ? (asked myself that tonight, before falling to sleep) Yet, ironically, we need both groups, just as the left and the right. When times are too good, you need to slow down, something more of the right. (defensive) When things are to stuck, immobile, you need breakthrough - more of the left. (offensive)
It has already proven to be a very serious threat to wider society. Ignored it would kill at least 1 million people in the US. And infect at least 200 million. With health services completely unable to cope. So I don't think anyone can dispute the above and say it is not a serious threat. The only division is what to do about it: On one extreme some people are saying ignore it and let the old, sick & unlucky just die. 1 or 2, or even 5 million dead is no big deal. Life goes on. At the other extreme some are saying Marshall law is needed
I’m divided within myself actually. This has been a known (virus) that has a moving unknown (actual outcome) with a set of a many different strategies to help stop fatalities. It is certainly not a nothing burger as it has brought the global economy to a standstill.
2nd camper. There's not nearly enough data to throw numbers around like that...especially deaths. Here's a take you won't see on CNN or the Washington Post. https://wmbriggs.com/post/30013/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_flu_pandemic we don't even have an accurate count for the death lol.... so call it 400k whatever.. Corona is sitting at under 30k dead. that's what we are saying... this panic is out of proportion.
your little brain can't put 2 and 2 together... the out of proportion thing is exactly why them boys really shaking it big this time.
In the US normal flu is 60,000 deaths, Corona could be triple the flu's death rate if there were a healthy herd to slow spread. So next year Corona is manageable. Right now, without a healthy herd to slow Coronas spread we are FUBAR.
