When this is all sorted out and we have the spare test kits and a couple years to monitor COVID-19, we're going to find that infected virtually everyone and it has a mortality rate close to the common flu of about 0.1%.

In addition, and we'll find this out a lot sooner than later, we will find that all this economy killing stuff: the self-quarantining, social-distancing, school closings, restaurant closings, daycare closings.... we're going to find that it didn't do anything to "flatten the curve" in any substantial manner.

So we are currently killing our economy and reducing our ability to respond to the impending needs for a snake-oil cure that apparently nearly every world leader has purchased.

You’ll see lol. Get off this “it’s just the flu” bs. We are in a slow war with China and they caught us with our pants down. Social distancing is the best we can do to slow the spread of the Chinese Virus.

Yes. Too many conspiracy theorists and pseudo-intellectuals who think they know more than the CDC about disease and epidemiology. Even basic facts like COVID-19 not being the flu get lost around here.

It’s fine, at the end of the day the main thing is getting everyone against China. We are one day closer to going outside normally remember that. Be safe friend!

lol, easy yourself. We’re all on the same side here. Downplaying this disease is not advised. We must practice social distancing to lessen the strain on the healthcare system.

I pray your city doesn’t get overwhelmed like what’s happening in Spain and Italy. Be safe and yes we are on the same side. Unless you are on the pro-China side then we are not. We are under biological attack from the CCP it’s time to behave like it.
