mistakey Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Just now, mission27 said: Forget the exact numbers for a second if you dont trust the numbers. What exactly makes you think this virus is not seasonal when most other viral respiratory infections are seasonal including other coronaviruses and when all of the most severe outbreaks have occurred in temperate winter climates? People get colds and flus in the summer too. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people with the common cold in Brazil right now or Australia. That does not mean the common cold is not seasonal. because i listen to experts in fields i am not an expert in unlike you. there is no consensus on it yet, and if there was one, it would be "the seasonality wont do much to dampen the blow". which again is still different than you saying that seasonality will be a reason that will soften the blow as you have many pages in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it is seasonal and hospitals, healthcare workers, people, the economy, et all can get a breather before things ramp up again in October, but there’s really no data to support that yet. We can hope for the best, but need to be preparing as though it isn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The antibodies won't survive stomach acid, so a pill is not viable They are hoping for September for compassionate use, many more months until its widely available as a treatment for patients. "Cure" is different than "treatment" depending on the disease - it remains to be seen how this one turns out. I don't mean to be overly pessimistic, its not in my nature - however - 80-90 % of therapeutics fail in clinical trials for a variety of reasons. Some related to science/medicine, others for logistical reasons. Having potent antibodies are a great first step, but the path forward is a gauntlet and moving through the clinical trial phases is called the Valley of Death for a reason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conspiracy theorists for this have about as much evidence as the ones who think the earth is flat. Even if it wasnt bioengineered, that doesnt mean it was found and then purposefully spread. Again, not saying thats what happened, but I wouldnt put anything past China, especially given the last couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, that article is about it being manmade. Doesnt mean they didnt find it and then release it on a broader scale. Not that it happened, but the only people who completely dismiss it are the China apologists...seemingly alot around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 From everything I'm hearing, the apex here in the early outbreak locations in the US is estimated to be middle April. more remote areas could linger as late as late May for the worst of it. New York - April 10th Pennsylvania - April 17th California - April 27th USA Total - April 15th This is in terms of deaths per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 @Webmaster was pretty clear when he created the THIRD version of this conversion. Politics are not to be discussed. And we're going to be more stern about keeping things under control so we can keep this topic open for discussion. @FourThreeMafia, this is an official warning. Please refrain from the political aspect of this, as multiple people have said. Multiple times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan already has converted Fed Ex Field (Redskins stadium) to a testing facility, and has converted MVA emissions stations to "drive thru testing" if you have a referral from your doctor. He's also ordered the national guard to set up numerous field hospitals in the area. We are currently under a "stay at home" order which went into effect yesterday at 8 pm. Hogan also chairs the governor's meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
