what they said:
If you smoke and or have weak lungs- might as well start picking out your funeral clothes and casket.
The virus will avoid young kids since they have a built in immune system to attack flu like viruses anyway.
Its the 30 and over crowd that'll get sick for awhile and beat it, granted they have healthy lungs.
The only U.S. case was a community transmission of the virus- meaning that person did not travel to China or overseas.
This is similar to the Spanish Flu in 1918. where everyone knew someone who died from it.
This virus will die down this summer, but the 2nd wave will be deadlier this fall.
It takes a year to come up with a vaccine. Hopefully by then they'll have one soon, yet they have to test it on animals and small group of people to see if its effective or worse than the virus. Remember the HIV vaccine in the 80s killed more people than HIV.
Last if this get really bad: than Congress will issue out a lock down of infected cities to be quarantined. For example, think of Chicago where all flights will be cancelled, state to state boundaries are closed off, highways/interstate closed, no public transportation. Can it be done, yes. Will it be done, according to Trump on Wednesday night, he said "we're working with each state."

>Bird flu >Swine flu >Sars >Ebola
even Zika H1 N1
The CoronaV is alarmist than the aforementioned, similar to the Spanish Flu. There are 6 different kind of Coronavirus- Sars and Murs killed a lot of ppl. Sars killed about 10% of the ppl, Murs killed 30%. While the other 4 are common head colds. Sars and Murs on the other hand don't transmit very easily.
CV is transmissible, not like measles, but about like the flu, hence those recent cruises. so yeah I'm not worried about getting it, I'm more annoyed if each state carries out Trump/Pence orders to go on lock down.
The hysteria is wild. Like we don't see these things every few years. Yes, take precaution. Be careful. But c'mon, some of ya'll a tripping. Somehow people have conveniently forgotten about all of those other outbreaks and how they didn't destroy the world.

well, my first worry is lockdown and so I've stocked up a bit just in case.
BUUUUT
when it comes to the disease itself the part that has me slightly worried is the fact that it's easily communicable + has a comparatively low fatality rate which means it can spread like shit and potentially kill a fuckload of people by playing a numbers game - where as something like ebola was harder to get but it had a much much higher rate of fatality.
it's not like spanish bird flu, healthy young people are not dying from it - but it has a crazy infection rate
HOWEVER
looking over the collected day over day metrics I can't tell the rates are receding, plateaued or gearing up for a jump - the US has 100 confirmed cases which could become thousands
HOWEVER
yeah, it's all kind of just a really fucked up flu, 80% of cases are mild and looking at numbers the extreme cases seem related to preexisting conditions + old age
I'M LIKE
get a face mask, some sanitizer and just be ready.
it's not the knowing thats bad right now, its all the unknowns. If the WHO or CDC is saying "Guard your grill, knuckle up, put em up, yup!" then do that shit and make sure the xbox or steam or whatever is all up to date.
