He was wrong. Watching what happened elsewhere and how fast it spread allowed us to learn how to react. Thankfully we had the time we did because of geography I think our approach is measured and responsible and will allow health facilities to not become overloaded so still confused on the hospital comment. Sounds like we're going to have to take this slow and one point at a time So you haven't seen any predictions of no hospital beds and no respirators etc? And can I ask you with $8 billion at the ready why would building temporary overflow hospitals and major cities be a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point that is what's needed as has been said numerous times...flatten the curve so the system can handle the patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They out that information out there because A) it's fact and B) hoping it will get people to pay attention to measures limiting the spread.

Perhaps our leaders should be gathering and making some decisions. 45 minutes ago, Edmo said: Well Vin is selling it like they’re hard facts. And calling people names that disagree. I think that’s a bit premature. Well they are hard facts. We need to nip this when it's premature (may be too late already). Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just saw a photo of a beach in Florida during spring break and I don't think very many people are taking self isolation serious whatsoever Im living spring break right now in Havasu. Young people are completely oblivious to this virus. The ones that do know about it realize it mostly affects the old and sick. They are not bothered by this. Many could just care less.

I could agree I just saw a picture of a packed beach in fort Lauderdale that doesn't explain why you bought into the panic and went out and hoarded groceries That type of behavior is exactly the problem It can only be combated with greater control more strict rules or price gouging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It’s obvious now, China building all those hospitals and quarantine of 60m people until May was a gross overreaction to a few cases of the sniffles and scratchy throat. -the Michigan retard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
