Friends and family keep asking me how I'm feeling and I tell them that I've had almost all of the symptoms for my entire life so! I will be okay. My mother was a medical anthropologist and did a great deal of work with infectious diseases.. I pay attention to any new virus with respiratory impact. So I’ve been social distancing since early February and we’ve been self isolated now for 15 days. I’m about to take a measured risk. My daughter is at home with 4 kids under 6. They’ve been self isolated for 15 days as well. Tomorrow we are moving them in here. Once that’s accomplished we’re good to weather the storm. I had been having breathing issues that had me close to going to the hospital In early February. I was to see my respirologist March 11th however over the weekend of the 7th I improved and returned to normal so I let the appointment go to someone in distress. Keep well and best of luck. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t imagine how crazy things would be if this happened in the 90’s or early 2000’s. Prior to the Internet journalists were not under such restrictions to get stories published. As a result there was far more accuracy in reporting and much less misinformation. Today far to much of the editorial process is conducted post publication. Also, anyone can put on a suite, set a backdrop and pretend to be legitimate. I think back then there would of been far more calm.

Guarantee you the panic wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad as we're seeing without the internet and social media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know there thousands and thousands of people who have it and have no idea that dont count into those #s, but @BayRaider told us the mortality rate would be 6-7%.

The Active Cases in the U.S. are 99,000. Meaning STILL PENDING OUTCOME. The Closed Cases are 4,300. Of those 4,300: 1,700 died and 2,500 recovered. That puts 16,000-30,000 or so of those 99,000 to die in the next 14-21 days (the time frame people usually die after getting it). https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Stop spreading misinformation.

BayRaider Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The death rate in official cases world wide is 18% now. It has gone up 1% every 4 days on average. America is actually at risk of a higher official death rate around 20% because of the obesity epidemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insults are against the rules here. You already got this thread locked at least because of your insistence of talking about politics. Your post doesnt address the many, many people who have it and aremt included in those #s, and even with that your #s are based on severely small sample size. Heres what absolute fact, as of today the death rate is under 2% in the us. I personally wont be rooting for deaths, regardless your prediction as silly as it was is very far off thankfully. We should be happy about that. Edited March 28, 2020 by GSUeagles14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
