Sorry to be blunt, but the reason why you and samurai get targeted so often is because you both have a habit of unclear stances. Don't you wonder why so many posters ask you what your point is so often? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my appendix bursts during regular flu season, I'm not worried because I know the hospital won't be overburdened with seasonal flu sufferers. But what if my appendix bursts two weeks from now and the hospitals are slammed with Covid-19 patients? How many other things may get missed because the hospitals are overburdened because we didn't flatten the curve. It's easy to quibble over death rates, testing effectiveness because this virus is new and the data is emerging. But the overburdening of the hospital system is real because we ALL are susceptible to this virus (unlike the seasonal flu which a large enough percentage of us will already have immunity). Good points, we can't sustain this forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my understanding a perfectly fit N95 would stop you from breathing it in. But is can still be all over you, so you still have to wash properly, etc. Unless you plan on wearing it 24/7.

Well said! Even if the system be very does get overwhelmed people are the paying the price too. I’ve heard of cancer patients that need interventions are being turned away to keep open space.

And to riffraff...I don't totally disagree with the being careful of what freedoms we give up when we're completely distracted by something monumental. The Shock Doctrine is on my current must read list and there are reasons to believe that there is absolute exploitation by some during times of crisis with a very real agenda to assume more power and control when everyone's focused elsewhere. It's a good discussion when we keep it constructive. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do value and respect your opinion so have taken something away from your posts, that are cause for pause and consideration. It's always good to challenge things...to look beyond the obvious for underlying themes and motives. To not be blinded during times of chaos that can be used as distractions...for sure.

Why is it supposed to take so long for a vaccine? My physiology classes and such were quite awhile ago but I thought all they would have to do was obtain antibodies from those who survived, and create those synthetically. Can't we speed this up with "everybody", working on it? Excuse my ignorance please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. It is not as lethal but it spreads far faster Than SARS. Which makes the death toll higher than SARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
