Did you miss his preamble?

In his preamble does he take back the remarks in the podcast? Nope.
Does he say that panicking and media hype is now justified? Nope.
Has the virus spread in the last two weeks beyond expectation? Yes.
Should we take precautions? Yes.
Should we freak out? No.


Now it's about grammar and some other episodes?

No this is about your inability to properly apply e^x functions to an analysis. Your making the assumption that anything which exhibits exponential growth in one stage will continue growing exponentially forever. The problem highlighted by the people I cited earlier, is that decaying infrastructure has caused a lack of testing/treatment, not that this virus itself is some 'godzilla.' On top of that, there are clearly way bigger problems in the world than this virus, but none of them get as much media attention and hype. I mentioned multiple catastrophic practices that are currently threatening our entire ecosystem, but no one here is panicking about any of that.

I asked you one simple question and is still waiting for your answer.

I don't trust him at all. I honestly do not wish to see more of his rants as he will come back. I will quarantine him off from my sight.

I cannot see why you all need to ask questions of Mohsin77.
As if the answers can be trusted.

As I stated in my post #3203 , above in which he declared he will declared But yea, I'll stop posting on your thread, so that you carry on with your apocalypse planning. I placed him gently into my ignore bin.

Perhaps you folks might consider that too.
It is possible to walk a person who is sleeping.
It is impossible to wake anyone who is pretending to sleep.

They're also increasing the daily number of tests administered so the increase in daily positive cases is more or less expected.

More alarming is the increase in death, +627 today, resetting the record every day.

They have not reached peak yet, no one knows how far we are from it.

p.s.

i know i have been shunned off this thread for my "inappropriate" skepticism of this coronavirus panic, but heres some sources i heard since yesterday:

  1. Neil Degrass Tyson (with Dr. Redlener) said the fact that people are panicing more about coronavirus than the normal flu makes no sense, since the flu kills 100 people in the US everyday. He said its all cuz of media hype.
  2. Noam Chomsky said the problem is the failing US infrastructure, which is why other countries handled coronavirus without problems
  3. Scott Golloway said the same thing as Chomsky, and questioned why Norway had a 0.2% death rate while US had a much higher rate due to horrible infrastructure
  4. Elon Musk said coronavirus panic is "pretty dumb" (lolz)

anyways... now you can all resume panicing and hoarding toilet paper. Im out.

Moshin77,

I am not aware of a single forum member here supports hoarding toilet paper. Everyone thinks that it is stupid. So please be professional and do not make false accusation in this thread.

became curious about my first Italy-related post here; it's kind of spooky as it's less than one month ago Feb 22, 2020

• Trenord ordered the closure of the Codogno, Maleo and Casalpusterlengo stations in compliance with the Lombardy Region ordinance on Coronavirus. Following the provision, the Milan-Piacenza trains will not make the 3 stops and the railway services between Pavia and Codogno and between Cremona and Codogno are suspended. The measure is active from Saturday until further notice.

here the government is considering 'a curfew' while the number of cases is 833 and zero dead so far, not to end up in Italy's situation

......I placed him gently into my ignore bin.

It is impossible to wake anyone who is pretending to sleep.

So, being "awake" means blocking any view that doesn't agree with one's own fears....

Great strategy, picked up from Ostriches with their heads in the sand, apparently.

in which he declared he will declared But yea, I'll stop posting on your thread, so that you carry on with your apocalypse planning.

On that, you are 100% correct, and I totally regret wasting my time on this thread. In fact, I shall pull myself away again and hope to never come back to this thread again. Thanks for the reminder.


Can't expect any meaningful discussion if you're so afraid to tell your position on a basic premise.

lolz, again, I told you what my position was and it actually answered your question in detail (which is better than a simple binary yes/no). But since you are stuck in a loop, I'll leave you to have your "meaningful discussions" here in peace.
