Is there an end in sight?

130 deaths to 600 in just a week isn’t alarming?  

Mathematically (and from the point of epidemiology) that is very worrisome. 

Millions died from the Spanish flu.  Is that what we need to cause alarm??

React AFTER the fact instead of before it becomes a historical loss of life?  

No tears over 600.  How about 1200?  12,000?  120,000?   When does the concern start?

Something is astoundingly clear to me..... 

Compassionate conservatism died with Reagan. 

Ain't that the truth.

   The numbers are increasing exponentially.    It is not 50 or 100 more a day.  New York's health system is about a week from being overrun.  It is gonna spread throughout the whole country. This is bigger than some people seem to want to admit

I fail to see the correlations. 

Car crashes, opiates, and metabolic diseases aren’t contagious.  You can’t catch them by simply sharing a space with someone that has them.   You don’t get any of those because you touched a surface an infected person did.  You don’t inhale any of those conditions. 

You CAN help prevent diabetes by controlling your blood pressure, eating right, exercising. 

You CAN help prevent opiate abuse by correcting what’s causing the pain (surgery, rehab, homeopathic treatments).  

Not even going to mention the car crashes as that’s not even a medical condition.  But yes... there are ways to reduce those too  

What credentials do you have to decide what’s an overreaction?   Med school?  Statistician?  Epidemiologist?  Or because you read it on Briebart, Rush Limbaugh said so, or perhaps Fox?

This isn’t an American problem.   It’s a worldwide problem that is eliciting a similar response worldwide.  Americans aren’t being asked to do anything outrageous that other countries are asking of their citizens. 

Exactly what sinister agenda do you think virologists, epidemic specialists, and other doctors aground they world have other than to prevent further infection?  What’s so meanacing about that? 

Do you think any of those International disease experts care what political posturing is currently happening in the US????  Ridiculous  

Its still accelerating.  We were at 130 deaths a week ago. 600 this week.  How many have to die before we take this seriously, pray tell?  

What number Of deaths in your Christian view is OK before we inconvenience life in any way?  10,000?  100,000?  1,000,000? 

What’s the golden number for your compassion to kick in?  Your concern?  Raise an eyebrow?  I’m curious to know. 

I’m willing to bet it’s 1 more death than we have now if that 1 was your spouse, parent, child, family member, friend, neighbor. 

Then again.... probably not.

I apologize if I struck a nerve. I can tell you are very passionate about this and I respect everyone caring about their fellow man.  

I guess if I'm required to list credentials, then yes medical school would be on my list.  But that said I don't claim to know as much as any of the "experts" you listed. 

My correlation between the crashes, opiods, and metabolic diseases would be that many things kill a higher percentage of folks than this virus. 

The flu, colds, and stomach viruses kill many more people if I need to only list contagious killers. 

Never claimed this was an American problem.

I don't listen to Rush, watch very little news certainly not Fox, and I don't know who or what Briebart is. 

I do not think the virus response or those involved has anything to do with political agendas. I do not believe any of the "experts" weighing in on the CV-19 have an agenda at all. I do believe they have a normal human response of fearing the unknown. 

Yes it is still accelerating in overall cases, but the morality rates are dropping. 

In my Christian view 1 more death would be tragic, but not unexpected.

Raising an eyebrow or caring if people die, it my compassion kidding in is all together different from being chicken little about it. 

While it would be tragic for anyone close to me to die from the virus, the numbers and facts say the odds of that happening are no greater than it happening from any other of life's tragidies. And your right, it probably wouldn't change my outlook on this overreaction.

Seeing you air quote “experts” was all I needed to read from you. 

If you can’t respect the expert warnings of virologists and epidemiologists that know more about how this thing spreads and grows (and mutates) than you can ever imagine.....then anyone else is clearly just noise to you.  

They have decades of study, treatment, and research to come up with these warnings and steps to take. 

But no.....opinions of average Joe Bob high school graduate are more important to heed. 

I hope your posts age well and mine don’t.  I really do.  For all our sake. 

But I have a feeling in the coming months you may be face-palming over your profound shortsightedness.

New York:

Gov Cuomo projects that the state would soon require up to 140,000 hospital beds when only about 53,000 were now available for use. He also said that doctors could ultimately need as many as 30,000 ventilators when only a fraction of that number — somewhere around 5,000 — were currently available.

Those eye-popping numbers aren’t going to be special to NY. They will be that way in multiple places. 

But no big deal, eh?

Read what’s happening in New Orleans. It’s a mess. 

Los Angeles.  San Francisco. Seattle. Where they are still waiting on the surge in spite of already being overwhelmed.  

But not big deal, eh?

Sorry if the quotation marks (not air quotes) bothered you. I assumed we could all agree that the virologists and epidemiologists would fall into that category. 

I can respect their fears, but I can also look at the math. Regardless of the hospital bed numbers you choose to quote, the morality rates don't change. 

So they they have decades of study in this brand new virus? 

Not the opinions of this Joe Bob HS grad, just the"experts" own numbers.

I understand people are scared, but it doesn't change the fact that the morality rates are less than illnesses that have been here for our lifetime.

135 deaths last week. 705 today. That’s about a 500% jump. 

At that rate you’re looking at 3500 next week. Almost 18,000 in two weeks. 

At what point are we no longer overreacting?

I bet nobody will watch this. It was labeled as fake news within a week on Fb and had zero recommended view hits on YT. Meaning the views were from people sharing it.

Its crazy that when I watch a video now on YT about this topic, it's next recommended video automatically switches to a mainstream news outlet coverage. Instead of what normally would come on as my next recommended video. They really want me watching THEIR coverage only for some reason. This just started occurring in last couple months.

We are losing our freedom in the name of security. I've learned that most people are going to be blind to this and accept it. But I advise doing your own research sometimes instead of always trusting your government run "authorities". As currupt as they are, when an event occurs, we automatically go back to trusting them and thinking they care about us. PROBLEM, REACTION, SOLUTION(pre-determined).

You won't believe this now, but you will see within the next year what's really going on. Will this clear? Probably, but it will come with a new world and new rules. 

Another one that's interesting.

I wouldn’t always believe the WHO. They regurgitated some info from China at the beginning that said there wasn’t any person to person transmission. Main thing that kinda shocked me was the 33 yr old Dr. li wenlaing (one of the first to warn others and was reprimanded because of it) died from ARDS caused by the virus he got from a patient of his. He was an eye doctor.

Once again. Trusting national sources. I don't think what's going on in America is 5g yet. It's totally different symptoms than what was getting leaked from China at first. People were fine, then falling over collapsing and dying. Americans don't need to get hit with these frequencies  yet because the propaganda machine is so strong here and everyone is watching the mainstream news and doing what their told. Even the celeb influencers are doing their part.

you better hope you don't get the virus as much as you think everybody

is over reacting.And personaly I don't think we will be out of the woods for

several months.

I hope that everyone stays clear of this thing. But it doesn't mean we all need to be chicken little.

17 days after the passengers disembarked........Coronavirus was still found on the ship. 

But no big deal, eh?

Correct.  

When it kills more than 61,000 Americans then we can say that it is slightly worse than the'17-18 Flu season.

The Flu has the same curve at the start of flu season every single year. 

When the numbers are larger than that of the common cold, then you wouldn't be overreacting.

Well I’m done. 

I’m not going to argue with people that ignore experts in the field of infectious disease.   And would rather wait til more people die before we do something that may inconvenience them.  Doesn’t count unless we need a mass grave. 

Or trust rogue news reports that probably have an agenda just as sinister as the mainstream media.  And yes..... I do blame the media for some of this.  But conspiracy theories..... I’m out. 

This is about health and quelling the spread of infectious disease.

I pray I’m wrong.  But if I’m not..... wonder how many will own up to their shortsightedness in all this?

I’ll just stick to sports topics  

Peace and health!

China has a way of dealing with those who step out of their lane.

As someone who has lost their soulmate 20 years ago, it matters not whether COVID-19 kills them, or the regular flu, or a piano falling from 100 stories up; They are dead, & they aren’t coming back...

This situation is bad, but it it ISNT as bad as the Flu, which kills about 30,000 Americans each YEAR. 

This crisis is a means of getting rid of President Donald Trump; Impeachment didn’t do it, so now we have COVID-19 & panic over toilet paper... Wake up, People.🙄
