I prefer to think I have a 96.6% chance to survive.

I like the way you think.

Please.

Just pointing out that we seem to be lagging behind other countries as far as testing (unless you're a politician of course).

Not sure I'm buying that the President wasn't tested. I can see why they wouldn't want that to go public though.

We need to improve (and have more) testing. Pronto.

you're about to make some people very sad if you keep this up.

2, my wife is at around a 9. She was going to different stores trying to find hand sanitizer and freaking out because they didn't have any. Finally found a tiny bottle at Walgreens that calmed her down a little bit. My son brought her over ten bottles the next day.

I’ve been sticking with hand soap and singing the songs. We stock piled dry foods last night. I have a nice flat screen tv and going to stay inside for a while.

I wash my hands while singing the chorus of "Proud To Be An American" 3.5 times.. it's done the trick so far.

In some ways the covid-19 is more advanced than we are. A smart man on this board said CV doesn’t care about your politics. Maybe we could learn something there.....

True. And if the virus is transferred through Jingles........everyone is gone.

Bob, no one's feelings are hurt. Your posts are just nauseating. Once again you've dropped turd in the punch bowl.

there were a lot of upset people imploring not to (p-word)-icize this most reverent of threads.

They were not happy.

and your attempt to argue about their relative degree of hurt feelings is likely to upset them.

so.. I ask.. please stop.

Thank you.

Temporary fix, good for a swing trade but seems like theres more pressure to push this down. The expert I saw on PBS News Hour said he sees no way to stop a recession.

Yeah, it isn't you personally that no one wants to be exposed to, but that team you talk about. I mean, I've been saying for years that it would be the apocalypse if Liverpool were to win the league. Now in the last couple of months, we have volcanoes going off in Indonesia, the Phillipines, and Japan, we have a plague of locusts in Africa, and now we have worldwide disease pandemic unlike anything seen in our lifetimes. The evidence is overwhelming.

Stop it.

So, how does this virus “go away”?? I don’t get it. How does it stop spreading in society?

DWags wrote:So, how does this virus “go away”??  I don’t get it. How does it stop spreading in society?

The current risk is because it's new, and we're just figuring out what it does and who catches it and we have little/no immunity. Within a year there will be a vaccine, like the flu, that will strengthen your immunity, plus people that have caught it and recovered will have immunity, so the spread will drop drastically.
Plus, people will realize it's not near as big a risk as the hyper media is currently making it out to be.

DWags wrote:So, how does this virus “go away”?? I don’t get it. How does it stop spreading in society?

I heard some guy say it will go away when it gets warm out.

Agreed right up to there. This part is unknown and reading the stuff out of Iran and Italy this is no walk in the park. This disease spreads faster than herpies at a downtown night club. No one knows where this is going but it should be taken seriously.

I refuse to compare our healthcare system to Iran and Italy.
A cleric in Iran was telling people to shove violet oil up their ass to prevent the disease.....(Hear that tGreenway?)
Italy has an older demographic and a much less robust healthcare system.
I'm not saying don't take it seriously, especially if you're in a higher risk group, but the fear mongering is out of control.
You're chances of dying from a dozen other causes is at least as much or greater, but not a peep about any of those.

it's a hoax. No need to worry about it spreading.

keep going to work.. shaking hands.

there will eventually be a vaccine. A big, beautiful vaccine.

everyone is talking about it.

until then, it's a hoax.

Please don’t be so mean. You’re going to get my butthole sniffling for an entirely separate reason. My butthole is very sensitive.

I'm thinking about making a very non-political HazMat suit out of duct tape, newspapers, a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew, a hollowed out Slim-Jim that doubles as a snorkel and line the suit with Cheeze-Puff residue for an extra layer of protection.

(in a non-political fashion, of course).

Johns Hopkins has updated their interactive website..

currently 761 Americans have been diagnosed with the hoax.

Worth it.

Please do not talk about futbol in a virus thread. We have a futbol thread. Most people here don’t want to hear about futbol, so please exercise proper etiquette and use the futbol thread.

are chlorox wipes political??

can I talk about them??

(just curious.. if my question(s) upset you, I'm truly sorry).

Thanks.

Serie A in Italy has suspended all matches turtleneck, because of the virus. Can we talk about that? Also the champions league and Europa league are apparently talking about suspending their tournaments after this round that concludes I think next week. Those are the inter country tournaments so more mixing of people from places that may or may not be impacted already

The region I read about in Italy is very modern, the citizens have great health care, very educated population and their hospitals were completely over whelmed.

oh - and way to go.. you're politicizing this thread.

that sound you hear is the collective crumble of the emotionally fragile minds across our 12 posters. Good job.

And the collateral damage when this happens will impact other people that need treatment that don't have the disease.

Also, from what I read staff gets infected and they have harder times covering shifts. This could be a complete shit storm.

We certainly don't have a corner on the stupid market, though we are very competitive.

America is a stupid country.
