I support drastic measures to stop the spread of this virus immediately because I want to buy as much time as possible to prepare for the resources it’s going to drain, learn about effective treatments, and to develop a vaccine.

We also don’t know what kind of long term repercussions survivors are going to have.

My personal take is China is obviously scared af of it and if China is scared of it so am I.

As for it being another flu well it’s more contagious, deadlier, and there’s no vaccine.

If you get a bad case you develop viral pneumonia with lesions on your lungs and that doesn’t sound like a fun way to die. Especially if there’s so many cases you don’t even get a hospital bed. And the more it spreads the more it’s going to suck money out of every other kind of care.

And if the rest of the world shuts down but we carry on with basketball and hockey games like we’re doing we’re going to have to face the ire of the rest of the world for our selfishness.

I also can’t see what’s wrong with slowing the **** down anyway. This world needs to take a rest.

If you can't be told to stfu every once in a while on this message board, you might wanna find a new message board. I'm not telling you to do anything. I'm am, with words, presenting you with a sock, and advising you where to shove it.

I'll provide actual reasoning behind this if you want. Yes, people are freaking out over this. They're buying up toilet paper and fighting over tissues. Those people should cut it the f*ck out. Yet, this is a serious matter. Your flu statistics are what really set me off in your direction because you reading a stat sheet serves no purpose in this matter. There are people who have dedicated their lives with the same stats as you, probably better ones at that, who are closing borders, cancelling events, and advising the populous to stay the f*ck home. Odds are that young and healthy people will be fine but you'll still get it and if you don't stay the f*ck home, you could end up giving it to somebody who will die.

There's no inbetween with this. It's highly contagious and will spread. Who are you going to spread it to?

Poorly.

:laughing:

All good here despite the outbreak here in WA. I've got a cold but I'm certain it's not the virus. I'll get tested if necessary. Continuing to keep things clean. This ****s scary. Nobody on the streets and businesses are suffering.

Maybe they are just trying to avoid you

Is "facetious debating" just a roll of the dice?

Their post reminded me of impatiently milking a cow.

Idk how legit this is
