Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

[Gatekeeper]

p.s. you should probably focus on learning basic grammar before moving on

Please. No need for that, English is not our first or even second language. And this forum is not an English class.

Communication is about understanding, as long as you understood what he's trying to convey. It should be good enough.

First of all, you should probably focus on learning basic grammar before moving on to e^x functions ("...the one who don't" lolz.)

Secondly, listen to Tyson's last episode of Startalk (it's titled "COVID-19") where his guest is the Director of the National Center of Disaster Preparedness. From @10 minutes onwards, they talk about how irrational it is to make such a big deal about coronavirus, and how this panic is fueled by media hype.

Did you miss his preamble?

Tyson says very clearly that his interview with Dr. Irwin Redlener was dated March 3rd, more than two weeks ago, and that since then, "the progress of the coronavirus has continued at a pace none of us predicted".

Remember the story of 100 million pledge by US Government to help China cope with Corona virus, Sofar nothing is received yup zip Here is official Chinese foreign ministry spoke person

I think I said earlier that more likely than not, 99 million went to NED and 5Eyes. To help NED and 5Eyes cope with covid19 in Hongkong. We seen their paid rioters and petrol bomb throwers in action in Hongkong during the midst of the covid crises didn't we?

So I do not think US Government made blatant lie on that 100 million.

The WHO has said very clearly that the only way to contain this outbreak is mass quarantine and extensive testing.

In the short months, we've seen COVID 19 go from completely unknown to global pandemic. So many people fail to grasp the significance of exponential growth.

It's probably only when Italy situation happens in US in a major way, then those still complacent after losing loved ones finally take things serious

I am not dismissing the virus.
I am dismissing the reactions or over reaction in many cases. The actual spread is less than influenzas in the world. Although more lethal in theory it’s less spread. So by volume less deadly. The areas where it’s hitting hardest are suffering primarily due to preexisting socio-economic issues.

things brought up as supposed lack of leadership are more lack of actual need.
do people need to wear masks in public? Not really but some do. I was just in a Supermarket where 3 women were.
lack of mandatory Quarantine? Mass Quarantine is overkill.
Lack of Test? You only need a test if symptomatic and how many were actually available? Until recently in the last week only a few. Testing everyone would be a wasteand create more problems than solve.

don't worry, this is not meant to be a suggestive question:

at what number of the US citizens killed by COVID-19 during the first half of this year you'd possibly say you underestimated the threat?

(please answer with a number, as in "one million" -- the number right now is 172:

I sincerely hope that doesn't happen.

Oh How lovely that everyone is concerned about me.... 217 deaths 14,354 cases. Oh dear the world is crumbling around me....
Give me a break. The Flu in the US 2018-2019 caused 35.5 million illnesses and 34,200 deaths.
“Oh but the cases shot through the roof.”
Did they? The incubation is 2 weeks cases reported today would have been exposure when my post was made.
In case you haven’t noticed we are still in seasonal transition.
“But but there is no evidence that it disappears in heat look here where it’s warm or here where it’s hot...”
and they have a cold and flu season to despite that don’t they? It’s not the temperature it’s the behavior.

Oh and for the record despite working with the public I only have a slight case of rag weed or a minor cold. No fever, no dry cough just a sniffle and a body temp of 98.7 which is perfectly normal for me. Only complaint is I am running low on TP. It’s oh doom and gloom but I have a delivery coming in a week and should have enough. I haven’t been laid off and there is no cart in the street requesting me to bring out the dead.

I see you still feeling lucky at this point.
As said, I will revisit you on 23 March

Now it's about grammar and some other episodes?

Why don't you answer the simple question first:

Do you agree with Dr.

whom you just used to support your argument, that COVID-19 is currently showing an exponential growth?

YES or NO?

He seems to be dodging a lot. I don't think it's worth it to continue this sherade.

I am sure it feels good, throw without thinking a sentence that satisfy your gut : )

If you bother to read the calculation they specifically corrected all foreign data with the age trees.


And surprisingly , the age tree of the UK is more healty than the Chinese .

The middle aged/under ten ratio is better in the UK, there is more child in the society than in China.

And the capacity of the healthcare system twice as big as in china per capita , there are more doctors and nurses in the UK.


I am sure you will be able to drop up same quick sentence without thinking for this post : D

Thanks for proving once again that you don't know what you are talking about. The average age of UK is 40, China is 37. So UK is older than China.

More doctors and nurses sure, but where they going to get the surge from? O right, just import more from India.
