A good percentage. I believe your claim on no vaccine ever created for a Coronavirus is wrong. They created one for SARS and H1N1...both coronavirus types.

They basically contained the illness and it’s vanished. I thought H1N1 was a ribovirus. Edited March 16, 2020 by spin_dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many, it's dangerous to people. Also many. For SARS-CoV-2 the best thing we can do right now is to isolate ourselvesu ntil the wave passes while we work towards some vaccine. COVID-19 still seems an order of magnitude more deadly than seasonal flus. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not one for MERS and that was really deadly. 30% mortality rate in some countries. We'ed be in a world of shit if this had a 30% mortality rate.

H1N1 is influenza viruses, where SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus. Neal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy the hype, just saying you can't compare last years number to a current outbreak that may taper off or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is conclusive yet but this hype is just crazy. Like I said in another post, the left wing media, once the numbers are in and they're nothing like what is being hyped up to be, will claim a victory that if they didn't do what they suggested, the numbers would have been in the thousands/millions. Pussification, and another gauge to see how much the public has bought into fear mongering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can dislike the manner in which they present these facts and how they sensationalize the message, but the message is not one they created. Truly bizarre you and many others see it that way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly bizarre how you think the media isn't playing this up adding more fear to it all the time? Many medical experts think this is overkill, but guess which ones get air time, and how come we never hear about those that have recovered from this? It's always more infected, more deaths, never any recovery stories. https://ksltv.com/433018/covid-19-panic/? https://slate.com/technology/2020/03/coronavirus-mortality-rate-lower-than-we-think.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8087265/Coronavirus-specialist-says-people-need-EXPECT-virus.html https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/07/infectious-disease-doctor-worried-mass-panic-coronavirus-12364239/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
