Why such the contrarian attitude towards the severity of this worldwide health emergency? That is a simple fact. The virus has been circulating for a while and people were not getting tested and most still are not. The numbers are obviously higher that what is even documented. More testing is taking place which of course means more positive cases. That is basic common sense and medical experts have been saying the same thing. You were on here yesterday suggesting people cannot build immunity to this - that idea is just way out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just now, HKSR said: Yeah ok. "Sweeping new federal recommendations announced on Monday for Americans to sharply limit their activities appeared to draw on a dire scientific report warning that, without action by the government and individuals to slow the spread of coronavirus and suppress new cases, 2.2 million people in the United States could die." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/us/coronavirus-fatality-rate-white-house.html this is not a serious response just wanted to say it puts me in mind of a phrase repeatedly often in the past years "the failing new york times" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, your contrarian attitude towards this is what's way out there, and it's getting quite annoying. There's really no reason for it. Every time someone posts any kind of stats you have a devil's advocate response to it. I can see why you were called a COVID-19 apologist. You're walking a fine line of trollism at this point. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Among the first responders to The Vancouver Sun’s plea for money for impoverished children facing hunger now that school meals are no longer available, were Henrik and Daniel Sedin and their wives Johanna and Marinette. The 39-year-old brothers and their wives have pledged $35,000 in matching funds to The Vancouver Sun’s Adopt A School COVID-19 appeal. https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/adopt-a-school-henrik-and-daniel-sedin-once-again-come-through-when-it-counts/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An estimated 21 million people would need hospital care and 200,000 to 1.7 million could die by the end of the year." Just one example. I'm curious to read about this 35,000 figure.

And, for the record, overcoming the virus does not necessarily mean a person is building immunity to it like we can for other viruses and then not be re-infected again. It is unknown at this point if we can do that. There have been reports of people getting better and then getting sick again. For all we know, this could be a virus like cold soars (herpes), where a person can have it go away but it stays with a person forever and continues to show itself over time. Just another reason the unknowns are serious, but you already knew this, I'm sure - judging by your response to my immunity comment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a subscriber, so no I didn't. But here's the thing, regardless of what you read in that article, we don't know if the herd mentality will even work with this virus. It's possible we begin to build immunity to reinfection and it helps with preventing a future outbreak around the world, but we do not yet know if this is possible.
