    We get it Darrin, you think old people are disposable.
    Wrong


    Do you think death rate would be higher in a nursing home than a high school campus?

    Honestly, I don't know, I would just be guessing, and so are you. Everyone at a nursing home at least is receiving prompt medical care.

    It's not a guess. It's a fact.

    Look, statistically older people are more likely to die, period, so I don't know why you keep emphasizing it.

    Young people are dying too, that's also a fact. Why do you keep reminding the thread old people are frail?

    Called it tbqh

    my le is 100% correct

    Chinese drs have identified 2 strains of the virus. means it mutated and the 2nd strain more aggresive has infected 70% of cases. the other 30%

    Italy is talking about 3 strains

    This means it could easily mutate again and again. 2 a vaccine might not be the enough. We might need multiple vaccines

    Los Angeles-area officials declare local emergency, confirm new coronavirus cases

    Los Angeles-area officials declared an emergency, saying they’ve discovered six new coronavirus cases in the county over the last 48 hours.

    “I have just signed a proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency. I want to reiterate that this is not a response rooted in panic,” Kathryn Barger, chairwoman of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, said at a press conference.

    coming to the conclusion our planet has just acquired a flu on steroids (30 times stronger) vaccines will probably work as well as regular flu vaccines (change yearly and not work on new strains)

    this is here to stay and we all will get it sooner or later. the weak will die and strong will survive.

    welcome to a new world folks

    only question is will our society survive the pressure of this new flu or will it break down into chaos?

    I had to round up figures from Diamond Princess cases to even get 1%. And you know most of of those passengers were older, more vulnerable demographic.
    almost 4% deathrate worldwide

    and even higher US

    but lets concentrate at deathrate on a boat

    Count on DarrinS to mimimize a problem we don't know the dimensions of.

    Once again, Trump insists nobody knew a thing that everybody knows

    Trump learns that tens of thousands of Americans die of the flu every year, insists nobody knew that.

    "I told the pharmaceutical companies that they have to do a better job on that vaccine" --

    Trump admits he just learned that the flu can be deadly and says he wants the pharmaceutical companies to do something about it

    TRUMP:

    “Over the last long period of time,

    the flu, the common flu — you know this, right? From 27,000 to 70,000 people get infected

    [it’s
    actually millions, but whatever], and

    many people die.

    Think of it — 27,000.

    You lose 27,000 people to the common flu.

    It can be much more.

    One year was much higher than the 70,000 number.

    Those people die.

    So when you lose 27,000 people a year.

    Nobody knew that.

    I didn’t know that.


    Three, four weeks ago, I was sitting down,

    I said, ‘What do we lose with the regular flu?‘

    They said about 27,000 minimum.

    Goes up to 70, sometimes even 80, one year it went up to 100,000 people.

    I said nobody told me that.

    Nobody knows that.

    So I actually told the pharmaceutical companies,

    you have to do a little bit better job on
    that vaccine.”

    [Wild applause]

    It's the one case where we know the denominator with any accuracy.

    You can panic if you want to. I'm not worried

    No one's panicking yet, but I don't see a coherent countermeasure to the pandemic. Other countriez are doing stuff.

    What are we doing, Darrin?

    The response has been much quicker than to H1N1 in 2009.

    The CDC approved covid-19 test is a non-specific salad of test for several viruses.

    CDC says a person must have symptoms for 4 days? before they can be tested, if a test is available and/or accurate.

    That kind of makes sense. If the virus has not replicated that much in your body it may be difficult for a swab to detect it in sufficient quan y.

    By what metric are you using to make this assertion?

    Back it up or fold like Spurtacular and Cosmored.

    That makes no sense. A symptomatic people are being tested and diagnosed.

    A quick google search provided multiple links to scholarly papers concerning "lessons learned" from H1N1 and how processes were improved.

    The CDC test sucks. They don't use the same test the WHO uses.

    Hopefully, this one is better contained than h1n1. One in six Americans were hit with h1n1.

    It won't be contained
