I'm suggesting everybody who thinks this is a nothing burger and that social distancing is pointless is an idiot.

The paradox of social distancing is that if it works, it seems unnecessary.

So you're saying that its worth it to destroy the economy for the next few years? Indirect effects from a struggling economy will lead to more suicides, destroyed families, etc. You have to weigh the costs of each option. If things dont improve by April 30 then what do you do? Do you tell small business's its over for them? Do you incur more debt for future taxpayers? Do you continue the stay at home until June?

It’s most likely less than 1% given that most mild cases aren’t even getting counted since the medical recommendation is to self isolate and NOT go to the hospital if you think you have it and symptoms are minor.

If you look at the total case count, I think 95% were categorized as mild cases of those even tested, how many more never bothered to get tested in the first place?

We won't know the actual percentage until everyone getsaccuratelytested. As of now, many of those with mild symptoms are staying at home and many of them don't even know if they have it. That and false positives as well. We have no accurate number except it's affecting the elderly that have preexisting conditions with more serious symptoms (opposite of H1N1 where the elderly seemed to be immune and the young were catching it at greater frequency)

The population percentage will increase dramatically, but the death rate wont. Its been going down.

A big thing that hasn't been talked about is that senior citizens are the segment of the population most likely to vote. Thus, politicians want to keep them happy. I think thats part of the reasoning behind these stringent measures.

Social distancing does nothing but slow it down. In the end, a certain percentage of people must catch it and build an immunity. It's only purpose is to not overload the hospitals and everything that I've been reading is we aren't even close to capacity.

My prediction - 60 million total infected - much like H1N1. Death rate will be similar to H1N1 Swine flu.

New Orleans will hit capacity pretty soon based on projections.

Honestly if 2 of them passed away, who are most likely on the older side....odds are it would be an acquaintance I would barely even notice being gone other than “oh that person died? That’s a shame” and move on about my day.

I got 40 in queue and I'm refraining from swiping because it's going to be like pulling teeth I imagine. Plus, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned about them spreading corona to me too.. rip!

Also, if anyone knows traveling barbers.. hmu

The authors suggest perhaps immunization strategies that mimic the often impressive protection that early childhood exposure provides could dramatically reduce deaths from seasonal and new flu strains.

Our immune systems build their defenses through exposure. This is how vaccines work. This is why hospitals are asking for people who have overcome the coronavirus to go ahead and help donate plasma.

Staying inside and avoiding any and all germs will cuck your immune system, as well as everyone else's in the long run.

Mass suicides / mass homelessness / mass business closures. Already millions are unemployed right now applying for unemployment, stock market is tanking, FED is lending money like crazy, etc. Not to mention that millions forced to be homeless will absolutely destroy any social distancing guidelines set upon us if they are on the streets and looting.

Slowing it down is the difference between a .25% death rate and a ~1% death rate. This not only saves 1.5 million lives, but also diminishes the long term effect on the economy, not the make believe stock market.

Nobody is suggesting NEVER being exposed. The problem with this disease isnt its fatality rate. It's the contagion level. The speed being extended to 18 months, instead of 6 months, saves ~30 million lives worldwide and all the domino effects of such.



You want markets to collapse? Wait until bodies pile up faster than holes can be dug. Seriously, stop trying to be "edgy" and outsmart the math.
