ckf Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 How so many think we are over reacting and that it's no worse than a common flu. I'll admit that I thought the same at first. All it takes is a little research to see how serious it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked what he needed. He said " oh I don't know, just take a look around" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 A local business owner, I know, is all over social media calling all the deaths lies. My wife was showing me his posts, last night. ….. demanding to see dead people. Apparently he has family in Italy, they were blasting him. I am amazed of the number of people who still want to play stupid ass partisan games. I believe some would rather die or have family die than drop the bullshit and demand differences be put aside and people work together. With all that is going on it is hard to believe some still have the need to belittle and name call others to feel good about themselves. s 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticCrusher Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just now, ckf said: Lol. Really? Do you honestly believe this flu isn't more serious than the common flu? It is mainly for those with underlying illnesses. What I don't get is peoples inability to follow what seems to be a fairly simple protocol to beat this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't went anywhere in about 4 days and don't really plan on it anytime soon. With my wife being somewhat of a germaphobe, I know if I went anywhere, it would just add to her worries.

I'll admit that I thought the same at first. All it takes is a little research to see how serious it is. Our mortality rate is running about 1.2% as of this morning. Likely its much lower as many probably have it with milder symptoms and are not being tested. Even lower than 1.2% is still serious when compared to the seasonal flu.

Redheaded Stepchild Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 You idiots want to argue whether this flu is the worse ever. Listen to the experts and stop the thing from spreading. Very simple but no one seems to grasp the concept. Just keep saying it's the baddest and ignore what the experts say to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The nursing home near here had 3 that tested positive. A 96, 94 and a 61yr old and one of the 3 has passed away. There are another 20 residents and 8 staff that have to be tested. I wonder how many went in/out of the place that came in contact with others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah well when they call on the core to build 5 hospitals in NY because theirs are full and the cases are not even close to the top of the infection curve it's not the common flue you fucking retard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure my governor doesn't want to tank our economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
