Dude is making the same point, over and over and over and over and over. it was stupid the first time. At some point you have to realize it is a troll schtick, that not even he believes. Once you figure that out, giving him time reading/responding is simply giving the sociopath what he wants, i.e. your attention.
The numbers coming out of NYC/NJ alone are roughly equivalent to what was/is coming out of Lombardy, an entire region in Italy (which includes Milan, but it wasn't the epicenter), crammed into a couple dozen square miles. It is going to be a bloodbath unless they've got the most advanced health care system in the world.
Hmmm, UK no longer considers Covid-19 a high consequence infectious disease.

And this downgrade doesn't come because they were "prepared." They probably had the worst response to this in the Western world, with Johnson advocating the "herd immunity" idea early on.
Either the UK government isn't being forthcoming due to an agenda like protecting further economic meltdown. The herd immunity idea worked. Or the virus's efficacy in its R0 factor and hospitalization and mortality rates has been way, way overstated for weeks.
To clarify, I'm not downplaying at all (a "mild" consequence infectious disease we have no immunity to is still a big problem). But this might be the first pinhole of light coming from the end of the tunnel. Unless the UK is being underhanded in some way.
It seldoms costs much energy or time to tell Thread he's wrong and show everyone else just how. If that gratifies him, that's his deal, not mine.
In this case the specificity of the claim -- 100,000 deaths per year from the flu -- looked new to me. It's bull .
something tells me you are way off nig
You did not read my first post.
I was in no way suggesting this.
If you are going to be out in the sun you need to wear sunscreen
There have already been people that did take direct sun as helping.
The idea that UV sterilizes surfaces is much more important imobthan droplet simply because a virus is most likely to spend more time on a surface.
It painfully obvious biology taught freshman year in most HS is not sticking.
In many of the posts here as well.
And they are not non enveloped. They have a lipid bilayer envelope with protein receptors, (not just a protein capsule) which is why they are so susceptible to soap. soap is a detergent that disrupts and breaks the lipid bilayer.

UK is taking it in the rear end as well
They're just correcting an initial overreaction. Obviously it doesn't fit their criteria:
Even if it was 5%, that's not "high" and certainly 1% isn't.Definition of HCID
In the UK, a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) is defined according to the following criteria:
- acute infectious disease
- typically has a high case-fatality rate
- may not have effective prophylaxis or treatment
- often difficult to recognise and detect rapidly
- ability to spread in the community and within healthcare settings
- requires an enhanced individual, population and system response to ensure it is managed effectively, efficiently and safely
Mexicans pissed off:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52053656
many moons ago I said Mexicans need to build a wall on their northern border to protect themselves from american hordes
their inaction is paying a heavy price
Also:
"The need to have a national, coordinated response remains, but this is being met by the government’s COVID-19 response..."
Which includes the stay at home and social distancing mandates
"a group member" says
do we know what standard they use to determine high case-fatality rate?
For kicks I just saw the day after tomorrow with Dennis Quaid the other night and was cracking up at the part where hordes of Americans are fleeing south because of the big freeze. The reporters noted that Americans were now the illegal aliens
This is Boris Johnson you are talking about. Dude makes Trump look like a genius.
They are just a couple weeks behind in their curve.
shoe in the other foot happens more often than ppl think
If there is, I didn't see it. I'm sure it's intentionally obtuse.
They'd just be called "immigrants" by modern leftists.
NYC is probably going to run out of space at the morgue in the next two days.
The last time NYC needed mortuary assistance was after 9/11.

It has yet to happen with regards to this though.
kinda has sadly
most countries are not easily accepting american travelers anymore
many south american countries, china, etc
Or "employees" at Mar Del Lago
True. Not sure what they qualify as high case fatality rate. But , even this thing being double the flu's mortality rate is a big problem. That's how close to the edge we organize our health care infrastructure.
They just got hit with 115 today.
What Johnson did up to this was criminal. Or maybe we can blame the Dutch researchers who were promoting the theory. Netherlands is also taking a hit.
