Worrying thread here for the US.
Yeah it seems she just conceded (the health of) our country for the sake of money and economics.
Just imagine China would accept 70%. That would be a billion of infected people (instead they have just 80k) and millions of dead people.
I am and said that I agree we should prevent it from spreading.
but hey we both said some dumbass stuff then because you’re threat to ban someone from a thread because they have a different view is just as stupid and childish.
“I don’t have time for your nonsense” I have a simple remedy for you then buddy DONT read what I post then and just skip over it IF you choose to read it that’s on YOU and not me.
This is what happens when you live in an Idiocracy. People demand that all opinions are given equal weight.
The epidemiologist on Joe Rogan said the CFR was 3-3.2% and other number I got was on this website.

Yes and I agree with this, we should obviously do the best we can to prevent it from spreading as best we can so to prevent further people from getting infected. I don’t think anyone was saying to just leave it be and let Mother Nature take it’s course.
It's a shame so much focus and resources aren't put in to these things normally, without needing to be pushed by threat of death and economic downfall.
I believe a shit tonne of things used today stemmed from research into weapons and the like for the World Wars.
portugal has one of the worst ICU beds per capital ratio in the eu . in italy 10% of the cases needed one . do the math and think about other daily needs other then the virus for the icu beds . response times for medical emergencies will go up from 15 minutes to hours .
What's gonna happen in the US? If they are truly doing as little as it seems, the whole Trump media hoax/exaggeration angle continues combined with their health care system?
Why are people STILL posting viral Facebook nonsense and ignoring the vast array of insight from experts.
Don’t expect to say “it’s just a difference of opinion”’ if your opinion is wrong.

Girl from the reception at our company is going to Madrid with her boyfriend next week for a holiday, I told her he has to stay home for two weeks after she returns to which she replied 'I'm young, you only live once, I don't care' and says she'll be coming to work as normal. I imagine that's going to be a quite frequent approach among young people which basically means this virus will be impossible to contain unless you just force everyone to stay home under the threat of severe penalties.
They seem to be relying on private organisations to make sensible decisions on their own. Many events, universities and gatherings cancelled.
But yes, it will be a shitshow.
This thread is growing like the Bruno Fernandes transfer thread.
Never thought I'd the see the likes in the CE Forum.

Italy has 1,000 ventilators and 100k oxygen masks coming from China in the next few days, so hopefully the situation will stabilise.
They won't be comparing one coronavirus victim against another to see who best survives, they will be weighing coronavirus victims against non coronavirus cases.
I have been going off of the numbers given and provided. If I am misinformed then I will say I am wrong especially if it is worth then expected down the line.
I don’t mind being wrong and learning instead of having the need to always be right.
The Spanish/Polish governments are going to make the decision for her.
Even better if it's a poorly taken screenshot
It'll certainly be a quite frequent approach among stupid people.
I really hope so. But my instinct says Italy is basically a lost cause now with the virus high on the exponential growth curve, and they will not have enough medical staff to tend to patients.
This is what she is saying in the words of the man who is coordinating Lombardy's network of ICUs. From 2 minutes.
If 60-70% get infected, Trump will do something once one of his family catch it.
The difference is your message that 'its not that bad', aside from being totally wrong, is quite dangerous when its read by people who don't know any better.
Well hence why I then grabbed number from John Hopkins university since that was a Facebook post with no credible source.
By next week Madrid could be a no go zone.
About two weeks ago there was a
What are you trying to say about a for-profit healthcare system that cuts costs wherever it can and tries to maintain as few beds as possible.

I wouldn't be able to hide my reaction to such stupidity. Maybe they should quickly pass a legislation criminalising reckless exposure.
Flu vaccine is unrelated and provides no protection for coronavirus or its effects.
Ya I was saying the virus in itself is not that bad. The spreading of it and over population of people per hospitals is obviously an issue. Which is why I agreed with everyone who said we should try to prevent it
There are also specialist doctors coming over who treated the first wave in China.
what's the number on how many the US CDC have tested?
It depends what you mean by 'not that bad'. It's not an existential risk to the human race (unless there's some long-term effects of infection that haven't yet emerged), but it does have the potential to kill millions of people. And it's well on the way to happening.
Put it this way, we'd happily trade this virus for one with a 20% mortality rate with a significantly lower infection rate.
Selfish twat.
I know but I'm talking about the pneumonia vaccine as a lot of case turn into pneumonia.
Not forgetting the economic havoc and all the other unforeseen consequences. But hey...at least it 'ain't cancer.
FFS adex. Fancy travelers making life tough for the rest of us. So selfish!
Send them back
Germany should abandon democracy and revert to authoritarianism again.
