and i haven't seen anything about this virus that makes it any worse then any other flu, other then the panic comeing form a midia who has openly said things like "we want the markets to crash so we can get rid of trump"
let me ask this, what should be done about this virus that isn't something that should just be a normal thing that people are always doing?
just watch the video
do not downplay the viurs
is it wash hands?
but dont overreact
no
how about stockpile a months worth of food and water?
no
just watch its 7 minutes
because those things are things that should always be done anyways
the virus is many times more lethal than the flu and much more infectious
did he say 500 people have gotten this thing in the US?
its likely much more than 500
just watch the video ive got to go
you have told me nothing, and he isn't saying much of anything so far
hang ive got another
if i'm gonna watch 7 min of a thing to explain a thing i want him to explain the thing
ok all he said at the 2:30 mark is "this thing can kill you if you already have problems"
"italy is in full panic mode" ok but that doesn't mean anything for america
its only a matter of time before America gets there
we are not the same contry, we don't have the same demographics
sigh
America already expects 3k cases in nyc
And have a military response set yp
nothing he has said tells me this is anything special
and if you think it IS something special you really should have something about it that you can bullet point for me.
this level of panic happend when Ebola was a thing, and before that swine flu, yah people are gonna die but people die form things we take forgranted all the time, like driveing.
we where lucky with ebola
its killed itself off
i'm haveing a hard time thinking the ONLY reason there is more panic over this then there was over swine flu is because the media have an interest in useing this to drag down trump, i could be wrong sure but they could also be wrong.
this is the sort of thing that it's to late to do anything about once it's known, you have to do things about it BEFORE it happens, like i said, things that everyone should always be doing anyways like washing hands and haveing food and water stockpiles.
the only people who need to be worrieing about this are the people who are high risk, such as the people who already are sick in a way that this thing will make worse.
The big differences between this and all of the other diseases are:
1) It can spread asymptomatically. Others requires showing symptoms in order to spread, making it easier to identify and isolate from the population. Here you have no idea who has it and who doesn't.
2) Retardedly long incubation period. While someone is running around asymptomatically shedding the virus, by the time they do show symptoms it'll be too late to stop them and quarantine them. Making the critical function of contact tracing all the much harder.
3) High complication rate. People need to stop comparing this to the seasonal flu. The seasonal flu has a case complication rate of 1%, meaning those infected will require some kind of hospitalization care or ICU. This has a case complication rate of at least 18%. That's an 18x severity. No modern medical system has the capacity to handle that. Even with Italy ramping up their capacity pre-shit show, they're already overwhelmed and are instituting triage.
4) The seasonal flu we have firewalls in place to stop massive community spread. Ranging from vaccines to existing herd immunity. We have 0 immunity or vaccines to this. Which means it'll wreck havoc and spread like wildfire as we saw in China when it is not taken seriously.
china is a very bad compairson to the US and how things will go here, the only thing that you can compair is that we are bolth humans.
everything form government to lifestyle is diffrent.
