We need to stop over-reacting to the Coronavirus.

[Contumacious]

Well at least there are a few things we can all agree is "under-reacting." For example a friend reported:

Public-health specialists are nervously wondering what will happen once the party’s over since Florida officials finally moved to expel the hundreds of thousands of spring-breakers who ignored calls for social distancing.

For much of this week, revelers continued to cram four and five to a hotel room, swarm beaches over hundreds of miles of coastline, and then gather shoulder-to-shoulder in bars and clubs – almost a model process for spreading contagious diseases.

Since many campuses are now closed, most spring breakers will return to hometowns across the country where any exposure to coronavirus could set off a contagion, public-health experts warned.

“What is happening in Florida with spring break partying-on by students oblivious to the epidemiological implications of their actions is nothing short of tragic,” wrote Gregg Gonsalves, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, in an email. “While many of us have been hunkering down to try to break the chains of infection in our communities, these young people have decided the pleasures of the moment are worth bringing back the coronavirus to their friends and family.”

With all due respect to Gregg Gonsalves , he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground

Assuming that these spring breakers are not immunocompromised or malnourished they are doing NOTHING wrong

The results of this research suggest that the pH, temperature, and salinity in natural aquatic habitats can influence the ability of AI viruses to remain infective within these environments

1- temperatures in South Florida are in the 70-80 degrees range
2- coronavirus hates salinity , and most of the spring breakers are at the beach
3- Most of the spring breakers will be inebriated during spring break
Alcohol is effective against influenza virus (252).
4- Being in close proximity will help with herd immunity

EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT

Assuming that the chart has a solid scientific basis, and that's a big if ,

the chart does NOT differentiate between those individuals who are actually infected with the NEW - weaponized - strain - and those who acquired immunity because like me - they are old farts who sometime in our lives were exposed to the coronavirus.

So stop disinforming and eat your checkers.


.

There is no natural immunity. It's a novel virus, dope.

Excuse me Dingle Berry, may I call you DB?



Corona viruses are not new. They were first identified as RNA viruses in 1970.


.

You should call me, sir.
Covid-19 is new, dope. Hence the term, novel.

Excuse me DB, Sir

Provide a link showing that Covid-19 is not a member of the coronavirus family and that the present tests can distinguish the different coronavirus strains.

I won't hold my breath.

.

You're an idiot.
I never said it wasn't a corona virus. I said it was a new corona virus. A novel virus, new to humans who have no natural immunity.
COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic has a natural origin

The current test does indeed test for the RNA markers specific to this strain.



Stop being a dope and educate yourself.

Again DINGLE BERRY

provide a LINK to a scientific website wherein they claim that immunity to coronaviruses does not extend to covid-19.

The ONLY country which claims that it developed a test to detect covid-19 is Singapore and the test is not yet commercially available

Singapore claims first use of antibody test to track coronavirus infections



In what appears to be a first, disease trackers in Singapore have used an experimental antibody test for COVID-19 to confirm that a suspected patient was infected with the coronavirus. The patient was one of two people who together formed a missing link between two clusters of cases that each occurred in a Singaporean church.

Researchers around the world are racing to develop antibody tests, also called serological tests, that can confirm whether someone was infected even after their immune system has cleared the virus that causes COVID-19. The group that developed the test, at Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, is among the front-runners, although its assay has to be validated before it is taken into production and deployed widely.

The economy is being harmed by the Coronavirus hysteria created by the mainstream media. The virus itself will not harm our economy that much as long as we don't over-react. Most of the damage being done by the Coronavirus is being done by people talking about it and over-reacting. Contrast this with how well the world handled the flu pandemic of 1918. The stock market in the USA actually only dropped about 5% that year.

To put things into perspective, the 1918 flu killed about 50,000,000 people out of 1.6 billion. Today, that would be proportional to a virus killing about 215 million people worldwide. That sounds like it would be devastating, except if there was no global market crash in 1918, there is certainly no reason for us to panic and create one today.

We need to stop panicking, stoically let the virus run its course and keep working or we might suffer an economic depression.

It is idiotic to think that millions, possibly hundreds of million dead people, and many more who get sick would not harm the economy. Our RE-action is intended to prevent those deaths and illnesses. Yes , shutting the country down to quell this thing id doing damage, but it is short term damage, and we will quickly get back to normal when it passes . And you are wrong about 1918.

The economic effect of the 1918 influenza epidemic
Economic Effects during the Influenza Pandemic. The pandemic influenza during 1918, didn’t affect only the country socially but economically as well. Businesses were impacted from the decreased labor force as a result of the influenza. The increased percentage of the death rate was high and considered excessive.

There are not tests which can differentiate one coronavirus from another

Of course there are. We have completely mapped the RNA of covid-19. Are you referring to field tests of infected people? You should be more clear, or you're right, others won't be able to follow.

But even if that is what you meant, you're still wrong. Yes, the tests identify covid-19, not just an infection of a virus from the Corona family.

There are no tests to differentiate an acute infection from a previous exposure

No idea what this nonsense means or how it is relevant. I doubt you do, either.

If you are immunocompromised or malnourished take whatever precautions your health care provider ordered but don't demand that the nation be brought to standstill.

Actually, they do. Scientists recommend precisely this, to slow the exponential growth of the number of cases, so that our hospitals are not overwhelmed. But you're about to post your crack research that shows otherwise, right?

No idea what this nonsense means or how it is relevant.

Dude , You are out of your league. Wait until there is thread about basket weaving .

Meanwhile I hope you are a Philly resident and the governor confines you to your Apartment for the rest of your natural life.

This Is Life For Emergency Professionals On The Frontline Of The Coronavirus Outbreak | HuffPost

Heather, an emergency nurse of seven years, described her medical department in Southern California as a “war zone.”

She works in one of the busiest emergency departments in Los Angeles County, but this week things were more intense for patients than usual.

It starts even before anyone even enters the hospital, Heather said. (She asked to be identified by her first name to avoid repercussions from her employer, which has a policy against speaking to the press.)

There are stations set up outside to separate visitors from patients and to funnel patients with COVID-19 symptoms into a separate triage tent. Security guards are on standby to tell visitors they can’t visit loved ones; police have to be called if those visitors push back against the new policy.

And that’s just the outside of the building.

Nope. Sorry, dope.
Your typical anti-commie bullshit is not only inacurate but just plain retarded given the availability of infirmation. If you had the ability for critical thought you would realize that the number of critically ill ovewhelmed their capacity to adequately treat them all despite Italy having a larger per capita healthcare capacity than the US does. Crawl back in your hole and await further instruction.

I always enjoy being told I'm "retarded" by someone who can't even make the insult coherently. Exactly what I would expect from someone who is given facts and thinks just saying, "You're wrong, I KNOW this is how it is" will somehow achieve something.

Your inability to grasp simple information is apparent. Your ability to recognize and understand that shortcoming makes you retarded.

I just heard, "You're stupid for not just believing me because I say so."

I'm simply passing on readily available information. It is your own incompetence that doesn't allow you to see that.

No, you're simply passing on the overreactions that you picked and chose. It is your own ignorant worldview that doesn't allow you to see that.

Let me get this straight. What I read between you, polishprince and redfish. This is not a big deal people that just died had underlying sickness anyway.
Am I right?

Before this Coronavirus Americans are getting sick from all kinds of illnesses and diseases. We are not getting healthier.


That said ........ about 32+ millions of Americans are diabetics, about 25+ millions have asthma, 120+ millions with heart problems, about 750k dialysis patients. Etc etc etc etc. At young age.


Is that mean they should ignore the CV and YOU let them die?

Now lib panic peddlers are declaring that as a Bad Thing with the worst case assumption presented incorrectly as fact that those 80% will in turn infect others with a Far More Deadly effect.
Anthing that happens with or is discovered about this virus is immediately seized upon by the Hate Trump and Destroy USA as either negative or leading to another sure fire worst case scenario.

How does the placebo effect come into play in the measurements that have shown drastic reductions in viral loads?

You have to measure that in double blind tests against placebo. And you are not speaking clearly. They drastically reduced viral loads? How do you know this one factor did that? In how many people did this occur? To what degree in each person? You are over simplifying and making claims that may or may not be true.

I think we are in agreement that testing should be fast tracked.

Let me remind that in China and Italy before the ALLEGED coronavirus pandemic they were having a serious problems with tuberculosis.

There are two hotspots in the world for coronavirus infections: Wuhan, China (Hubei Province) and Italy. Both of these geographic areas were grappling with tuberculosis outbreaks prior to the eruption of the mutated COVID-19 coronavirus.
