No we don't have to go into permanent lockdown. But saying 'its fine just ignore it' is just going to let it continue to spread exponentially. Its been spreading exponentially thus far, theres no reason to say it will magically stop if we keep on about the same way
Well the flu has an average incubation period of 2 days while corona has average of 5. So you can have it for a lot longer and be spreading it without knowing. So while they both spread exponentially this spreads at a faster exponential rate. It also appears to have a high death rate.
FFS. Stop believing what you're hearing from MSM talking heads--even a basic wiki search will tell you this:
In otherwise healthy adults, influenza virus shedding (the time during which a person might be infectious to another person) increases sharply one-half to one day after infection, peaks on day 2 and persists for an average total duration of 5 days—but can persist as long as 9 days.
The 'death rate' that the WHO director used to start the panic is from cherry picked statistics without a proper population sample used to calculate the base figure--i.e they had no idea of the numbers exposed and who didn't fall ill. His base sample was from those sick enough to present to a hospital etc.
However despite all this--if you look up the 'official' prognosis for this 'Covid-19' the medicos will tell you, not me, that MOST people will only experience "mild to moderate symptoms"--what they and the MSM don't tell you is that 'most" in medical/scientific terms usually means 99.999pc.
Well the shedding time is definitely longer than the flu but fair enough I didnt know flu was that long
But still you can have the virus for 14 days before showing symptoms, with the flu you will show symptoms after a max of 4 days. So you will be able to tell if someone is sick after 4 days (unless they are asymptomatic), with covid this can last 14 days.
Now I know Italy isnt representative of the US, but in terms of this "being like the flu", 2100 people died in italy in the past 7 days. 17k died in the entire year in italy on average the past 4 years, so 17k per year versus 2100 in one week, seems like this is worthy of lockdown etc.
Do you not think 2100 in a week, versus 17000 in a year, shows it's pretty bad? Even if Italy's age group is older etc. You are comparing italy flu deaths vs italy covid deaths

The flu spreads 'exponentially'--no-one worries about that.
