That’s exactly what is happening in Italy. Just because I’m young and not going to die from it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t care about everyone around me. What happens if I get it and give it to my father with diabetes because I don’t know I have it? A lot of cases people are asymptomatic but are still highly infectious. Don’t panic but not taking this seriously will cause much more damage than taking it seriously. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Corona Virus and overcome it (which is easy for the majority) then move on It's that easy? Really? So, by your reasoning, the globe is overreacting?

If you're okay with that, you're okay with eugenics. 1 minute ago, Wilbur said: Not a good idea as it does have a ~3.4% mortality rate. The more people that get it also, the greater the chance of it mutating for the worse. 2 minutes ago, bree2 said: there is no over reacting and people who don't take this seriously are usually the ones that spread it. its how the planet deals with overpopulation :S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not right or legal, but I thought this was just accepted as fact by now. If you cost billionaires and a majority of governments a lot of money and they found out then they'd want payback. In this sort of scenario you aren't costing a few places money/lives/stress but the majority of the global world. Crime/Government/Business. It is essentially as you say but at an overly extreme level. They wouldn't probably wouldn't publicly execute you on the streets but I could see a lot of them wanting extreme retribution behind closed doors. Like said persons children/family members disappearing, etc. All morals would be thrown out the window. You potentially could bring the worst out of humanity. You'd have to get caught though. They'd be playing the biggest risk/reward game in the world in this sort of scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting swabbed without signs of the flu is useless. I get it. Unless you're showing symptoms, why burden the system? Answer my questions and maybe we we'll take you a little more seriously.

Nathancanuck Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 To all of you saying Corona is fake news or it gets exaggerated: I also thought so until a couple of days ago. Yes it is not much worse than the regular flu at the first sight BUT - Mortality rate is higher, flu is 0.1% while Corona is about 0.7-2.0% - We have a vaccine for the regular flu not for Corona - Most people have antibodies/resistency for the regular flu, therefore it doesn't spread as well as Corona - The INCUBATION TIME is up to 2 weeks, means people are sick and don't even know it and then infect others - What if the virus mutates? - If most of worlds population gets sick within a couple of months all medicine and treatment will be out and mortality could go up All things considered this will not end the world but it has/will have huge impact on daily lives, economies and so on.. Remember all the previous "fears" like SARS and the swine flu?? There was also some panic but nothing got cancelled.. this time its different, unfortunately 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you are going to be bombarded with the paranoid. Of course you and everyone in your profession will RIGHTLY be stressed out dealing with phantom cases. Of course it sucks. That doesn't make it fake news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
