They freak out and buy 10 years of toilet paper. The people that turn around and sell toilet paper and hand sanatizer online for tons of money are the people to be sick about.

Lo and behold you hopefully caught it, had a short bad time but your immune system built up the antibodies so that for the rest of your life you were immune, mumps were of special importance to boys. In fact sometimes suckling mothers swapped kids for some feeds so that their antibodies were passed to other children, we learned about this long ago. This is a fact, anything nasty will kill you if your body can't resist it, so in fact giving it to younger people should be encouraged and a natural immunity will follow, however this will not stop any virus from mutating and becoming a killer again. A commonsense approach would be to isolate all weak and susceptible people and let the others go about their business, this gives them time to become immune and an antidote discovered. I personally cannot understand, especially in the modern world trying to isolate all populations, it is obvious to a blind man that this is not and never will work, let nature get on with it, we'll survive.

My Kids think I'm overreacting by paying a lot of attention to social distancing not touching my face well trying to not touch my face and washing my hands way to much. If my kids get it they might not even know it or they might get sick. Me on the other hand stand a very good chance of dying. I'm over 60 and have what they like to call mitigating issues. I actually have two out of the top four that kill . Not bad but I do have them. So if I get this right now I'll get really sick hit the ICU and hopefully get out. Ta Da I now have some type of immunity to this thing. Trust me I'm not totally against this method. Just wish my odds were a bit better. I get this thing when it hits our city big time. I doubt there will be a bed for me. A respirator no way plus I do not want to take one away from anybody. So life to me is important very important so this is very very serious stuff. Just because it won't do much to you does not mean it won't hurt other people. The worse thing I've heard is it just kills old people. I like old people there funny and like to tell great stories. I do not want to see them die because some people think this is going over board. I like many have lost a lot of money because of this. Because of my age I do not think I will get it back . And that's just fine by me if it helps slow this thing down so the pros can do their thing and keep as many people alive as possible. Lets help out everybody that needs it anyway we can.

All that matters is what people think it means. And to them its a scary word that means the end of everything. Oh and its not just toilet paper. Its tissue paper. Paper towels. Anything and everything with the word 'anti-bacterial' on it. Various canned goods. Pasta, of all things. Rice. Yes, rice. Wipes. Clorox/bleach. Of course water. Potatoes cleaned out. Including those huge 10 pound bags that most people dont bother with. Large sized bags of cheese. Eggs all gone. The store I work at has been full of panicky people for three days buying shit they dont need. And of course when that happens other people... that arent in a panic... go buy shit they dont need because the panicky people are buying everything. So its a snowball effect. When you see many people with shopping carts filled with multiple 24-packs of bottled water, and its not the Fourth of July, then something is wrong. All of this in a crisis largely of our own making. The only conclusion I can reach is that every year the population is getting stupider and stupider.

Neither side wanted the opponent to know how bad it was. But if you compare the numbers for infected to deaths it is similar to most Virus episodes we have had before . It is said 500 million infected and 20 million dead which makes that 4% of the infected dying. Fortunitely Medical treatment has come a long way since then. Many died of Aspirin Poisoning then! The Pneumonia kills 20 to 30,000 people every year, the only reason why I know this is, is because it nearly killed my 5 year old son in 2005. Pneumonia kills .5% of the infected that are reported. The regular Flu Kills .1% of the infected. The H1N1 in 2009 and 2010 Hospitalized 300,000 people in the USA alone and between 17,800 and 20,000 died from it, depending on the source making that percentage of deaths per infected at .66%. 1,800 of those dead were Children. We do need to take this seriously being this appears to be twice as dangerous as Pneumonia but it would be nice if the Media would stop Freaking People Out.... Nothing Sells Better Than Negativity! Let's All Carry On And Do Our Very Best! We Will Beat THIS! Edited March 15, 2020 by Spartacus baldie and Labob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
