That really is not true, but more of a political viewpoint

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

Not trying to get political but as someone who comes in daily contact with those that are underinsured or not insured at all you can’t help but be concerned.

Agreed, it is a serious and huge concern for our country. My disagreement was with the statement (but that is for the political thread)

I would be a lot more concerned if I worked at my old dealership. No sick leave whatsoever, so if someone there got it they would absolutely bring it to work. Fortunately the county offers sick leave so I'm less concerned if someone did get sick. Even so, I work with immigrants of all kinds and it gives me something to think about. One of my coworkers got delayed coming back to work because when he left Vietnam he was stuck at an airport in China for 2 weeks thanks to the quarantine.

Where do they think the Coronavirus originated from?

I've heard different stories and to be honest I don't know. One it was man mad in China and got out of hand. I think this is closer to the truth......

"COVID-19 (2019-CoV)
Wuhan coronavirus was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019. At the time of writing, numbers of infected are still on the rise, with a mortality rate of around 1 percent.

Snakes were originally suspected as a potential source for the outbreak, though other experts have deemed this unlikely and proposed bats instead. As of February 2020, the search for the animal origin of COVID-19 is ongoing.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

Some were asking about stock market here is some quantifiable data showing impact coronavirus has had in nitrogen dioxide levels in China. Since China is the workhorse of the global economy there will be a strong stock impact.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

China close one of its new emergency hospitals

https://www.foxnews.com/health/china...ease-worldwide

202 new cases in China in one day is a good sign because it seems to suggest the virus has a lifecycle and can be contained. As cases are getting ready to increase in the US, hopefully the 2 month delay in cases hitting us will allow warmer temperatures and greater awareness to keep the overall impact much lower than if it had jumped the ocean in mid January

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

The death rate among reported coronavirus patients is now about 3.4%, a far higher percentage than previous estimates, the World Health Organization says.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO's director general, also said Tuesday the virus is more lethal than the flu, which kills tens of thousands of Americans each year, but does not spread as easily. The death rate for the seasonal flu in the U.S. is far less than 1%.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/coronavir...115516037.html


I was listening to Elliot in the Morning and they talked about how all the shelves around the DMV are completely out of sanitizer.

Really? I might understand Seattle or Chicago ... but around here? Seemed odd, I guess Ill have a look around tonight when i go grocery shopping.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

I wonder what the seasonal flu rate would be without a vaccine. Note not trying to equate or deflect. Just reflecting on how we take for granted the flu shot every year, yet it serves an incredibly important role in protecting our country. (I have never gotten them except when forced by military or other job requirements, I probably will going forward.)

I get the flu shot maybe every other year. I had walking pneumonia a few years ago, sucked bc i was always tired and not 100% but never bad enough to miss time from work or life commitments, so I was thinking I had cancer or something. I didnt understand why I was so tired for months.

-----------------------------------

is this the new normal? Every few years a new virus originates out of Asia, world reacts cautiously, it goes away .... but one day, will one of these viruses truly be the worst case scenario stuff you only see in movies?

This is a pattern and it seems weve been fortunate so far but prob and stats say eventually we will not be lucky.
------------------------------------------------

The coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, is a frightening reminder of the imminent global threat posed by emerging infectious diseases. Although epidemics have arisen during all of human history, they now seem to be on the rise. In just the past 20 years, coronaviruses alone have caused three major outbreaks worldwide. Even more troubling, the duration between these three pandemics has gotten shorter.

^^ this is a pretty good read on the changing landscapes and exploding human populations that are a contributor.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

The next line is a terrible statement. You can only see it if you actually quote this post:

Coronavirus should be nicknamed Darwin's Revenge because it only appears to be deadly to the weakest of the population. A thinning of the human herd so to speak

on to the post
https://www.worldometers.info/corona...-demographics/

from the link:
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION
DEATH RATE
confirmed cases
all cases

Cardiovascular disease
13.2%
10.5%
Diabetes
9.2%
7.3%
Chronic respiratory disease
8.0%
6.3%
Hypertension
8.4%
6.0%
Cancer
7.6%
5.6%
no pre-existing conditions
0.9%


*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by condition.

I always view getting a shot as me helping protect high risk groups from additional exposure. Even though I have only had the flu once in my life and not someone in a high risk profile. I would hate to think that I was responsible for getting my in-laws or an older coworker sick and hospitalized when i could have done something so simple. I think how we have been providing "free" flu shots in our country is one of the most significant things we can do. Globally flu and flu related illnesses are the number 1 infectious disease killer,
