CoronaVirus

After the Home and Garden show. We went to Sam's Club to pick up a few things. It was almost out of bottled water, toilet paper, and cleaning disinfectants. There was some empty shelves. Don't know what was on them.

I have yet to see one person wearing a face mask in my area. I went to Atlanta this past week to preview my new worksite (which I ended up declining the work transfer), and didn't see any masks in that area either. How is every vendor/store/e-store/company sold out but have yet to see anyone using them?

Hopefully no one at the Home/Garden Show had the virus. I'm trying to avoid crowded place as much as I can. I read that the average person will recover in the event s/he contracts the virus. What I see on the media is how many people are suffering/dying, but not a single story about any recoveries.

At work, I went up to the clinic and scored a few bottles of hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, hand wipes and sanitizing wipes for electronics. I was going back to my office looking like I looted CVS..lol

Just so we dont all lose our minds here. Perspective:

According to the cdc, 26 million in the us have gotten the flu during the the current 19/20 flu season. Of that number, 250,000 have been hospitalized and 14,000 have died. Again, thats just in the states.

Oh, in full disclosure as some have required when posting on this thread: my uncle is a Dr, another is a Dentist and my sister dated a Pharmacist once in the past. So....

The MSM can go and suck it!

This how the media is so powerful to decimate fear and hide the truth.
Btw Zington does your sister open to the idea of dating a Proctologist?
Just saying.

Maybe at some point... she's more into Urologists these days. But I'll give you a heads up if that ever changes.

The problem is, we still don't have a good handle on what we are dealing with when it comes to nCoV. Yes, it could turn out to be just a bad case of the flu. But then again, it could become something similar in effects to the Spanish Flu. Only time will tell.

In the meantime, I'm taking some precautions (mainly beefing up my emergency supplies a little) but not going overboard.

Updated: 18,000 deaths this year so far from the "pedestrian" flu. And 80,000 deaths during the 2018 flu season. Apparently the first set of data was dated. Still, however, per the cdc.

And yes, the msm can continue sucking.

And how many get the flu every year? Millions. This virus is still an unknown. It will be next fall before we know the full scope of this virus. Once they have a better understanding of it. Hopefully next year won't be so bad. Fear is driving the whole thing. It's the perfect weapon. Cripple from within.

No need for the mocking.

The difference here is the potential long term impact it has to the lungs (permanent scar tissues) and that one can get reinfected, which are different than flu. This is for people that got infected but didn’t die.

That’s why this is not our “normal” flu

Fyi: My disclosure is 100% accurate.

Obviously some people feel the need to add their assumed 'credentials' as a way to make their point appear more valid than the prior, or next. I personally think to do so denegrates one's point or opinion.

Not what I was trying to do, but I know it seems that way. You can direct it at me, that’s ok.

I agree authority shouldn’t be in an objective argument.

Then please attack my argument.
