Canada Hockey Place 1,389 Posted April 4, 2020 The majority of people are looking for reliable information. If all your posts are to argue about the reliability of generally accepted sources, you're in the wrong place. Try 4chan or Reddit. The time to act like a bad ass who isn't listening to the doctors, experts and government is over. You are now a threat and an enemy of the general public. 1 1 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where everything is great. This pandemic disease is nothing compared to the USA. We will play this game in one week to prove how great we are and I'm sure the USA will win by 10 goal baskets like we always do. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

debluvscanucks 60,977 Posted April 4, 2020 7 hours ago, samurai said: Many experts believe that it is very fast spreading as you say but not as fatal as other corona like SARS. Who are the "many experts"? You should post links when making a strong statement like that please/thanks. Very fast spreading causes hospitals to be overburdened and have to make some tough choices that WILL BE fatal for some as they go untreated. And if they die because they didn't have access to a ventilator, I'm pretty sure that means the disease was fatal for them. For those who die, "not as fatal" is not appropriate. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have also read a number of “experts” also make the claim. He should have cited some work. I was able to pull up one, although I know there are more (article updated as of March 26th): https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.accuweather.com/en/health-wellness/coronavirus-expert-says-the-virus-will-burn-itself-out-in-about-6-months/679415/amp I certainly don’t know about the validity of the title of the article claiming it will burn itself out after 6 months (one can hope). In the interview itself with Pathology Professor in Hong Kong John Nichols (CoronaVirus Expert apparently): Quote “Compared to SARS and MERS, we are talking about a coronavirus that has a mortality rate of eight to 10 times less deadly to SARS to MERS,” Nicholls said. “So, a correct comparison is not SARS or MERS but a severe cold. Basically, this is a severe form of the cold.” It’s far less fatal, but he also claims it’s still not a correct comparison. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilbur 5,509 Posted April 4, 2020 16 minutes ago, stawns said: Same as samurai........what is it you're trying to say? Just feel like screaming: 1. This is a NOVEL coronavirus...meaning no one has immunity. 2. This seems to spread really fast meaning a lot of people are going to get this at relatively the same time 3. Are there worse viruses? Yes, even worse coronaviruses. Other viruses (coronaviruses, flu's, etc) have partial immunity amongst the population so cases are more spread out and people can receive the care they need. 4. However, if a lot of people get this at the same time enough of them will be bad enough that the hospitals will be overwhelmed 5. When hospitals are overwhelmed, many people will die needlessly because they can't get care. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

debluvscanucks 60,977 Posted April 4, 2020 7 minutes ago, riffraff said: I’ve already said. gvts are making decision based on inconclusive science. quit the bs and pay attention They're being proactive because this virus is something new and is fast and furious. Doesn't leave much wiggle room to scientifically prove things..proof is in the numbers? Do they sit back? Wait? Do all the research as people die? The decisions are being made because idiots are challenging the severity of this thing and there's an old saying..."better safe than sorry". They want proof? Maybe someone in their family dying will be the be careful what you wish for in this. Governments have had to act without a whole lot to go on....what SHOULD they base decisions on? It isn't BS to take this as a real threat and act accordingly. If some freedoms are temporarily sacrificed so people live, I'd say it's a fair trade off. And if people did what we were supposed to it would help eliminate the need for enforcement. 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
droid56 46 Posted April 4, 2020 The fact that covid-19 is not as virulent as sars is why it is so dangerous. Asymptomatic people and people with mild to moderate symptoms thinking they have just a cold or the normal flu aren't tested, and are walking around in our communities unknowingly giving it to other people. These make up the majority of the infected. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
