Now keep in mind a portion of this was under the same circumstances and self isolation we are doing now. Now I'm NOT downplaying the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic I'm just trying to put some perspective to it. I'm not advocating changes to self isolation or anything. At this point I fully support the efforts to stop the spread. In that just short of 6 month period we lost on average 4,000-10,000 people a month to the season flu. I'm really surprised our HC system can keep up with that if most of them required ICU/Ventilators. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm You can not compare the two. There is NO Coronavirus vaccine. I can’t imagine how many Americans would die if there was no flu vaccine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The common flu has a vaccine is much less contagious and we still see huge amounts of people dying. And we do NOTHING. Be curious to see the percentage of deaths due to the seasonal flu that had the vaccine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could use the argument that because of the vaccine impact the flu as a sickness is actually much worse than this cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motonoggin Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 4 hours ago, Highmark said: Actually socialism was making socialism look amazing. QE isn't capitalism. True capitalism would have been to let all the banks and automakers fail and re-organize the last time. Fed manipulation of the interest rate isn't capitalism even if they aren't considered part of the federal govt. No, this IS true capitalism. It will always end up here. The inherent conditions created by the system will always lead here. 4 hours ago, Highmark said: Its time like this I wish we had complete Anarchist style commune-ism. The virus would not have been able to spread because there would be no airlines or cruiselines. Then again we wouldn't have hospitals or medicine either so most people would be dead anyway. It's hilarious that all this bullshit happening under end stage capitalism are being blamed on socialism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of spreading it are high, especially since they aren't being provided any PPE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
