He has asthma also, hope he is alright. Although of the 30,000 Americans that died I don't know any famous people that did. Probably like the other diseases, it's for us poor people.

A few famous people have died from COVID-19. Terrance McNally passed a few weeks ago. Never heard of him. That sucks though. Anyway it was kind of tongue in cheek. |

Ahh that's right. i really should try to keep track of posters personalities on here a little better. Hard though when there's no face attached to the poster. People really were saying things like that and it just flabbergasts me. |

Well it's airborne (or one strain is) so it can spread pretty damn quick. It doesn't always kill that fast, depends. I know back in 2014 some people lived for numerous days with it...totally terrible. |

Problem is that its literally a boom or bust virus...and we could have a situation where 60% are asymptomatic,25 % get the mild symptoms,but that 15% that get it bad are in a life and death struggle and if you end up in the hospital... its a horrible feeling knowing that you won't have any visitors and be alone ... The actual nightmare situation is an airborne virus or bug that takes a long time to incubate and has a 30-40% kill rate |

The actual nightmare situation is an airborne virus or bug that takes a long time to incubate and has a 30-40% kill rate 15 million in the US? Not saying you're wrong but they had to admit their models were way off and the covid task force had to admit that they inflated the death statistics through falsely attributing many causes of death to covid. I mean we have 10 days left in the month and it's at roughly 780k in our country. We'll have to see. When you really look in to it it's basically a bad flu contrary to what our lovely politicians say. Otherwise I don't think nurses would be shaking their asses across the nation while they're at work. Not saying it isnt terrible to get it but thus far 97% have survived from it and in some states it's stands at 99% who have it but have not died. Those statistics give context to the situation but it doesn't mean I don't think the deaths are tragic.
Seeing that hospitals internationally have treated it with intravenous vitamin c, d, zinc and hydroxychloroquine (Which is a very cheap drug) makes me feel no more worried than I am every year about the flu (which I dont worry about, but I do get concerned for my grandparents). People act like saying that is outlandish but the flu kills roughly 100k a year some years (that's with people who get the vaccine every year, the shots aren't 100% effective because these things mutate from host to host). But that's just my personal opinion based off of the things I've read.
You are surely right about that! That would be truly terrible!

I don't agree with the comparison to the flu that Fox News has been pushing. The reason why the numbers are comparable to the flu now is because we took the unprecedented step of shutting down the country for a month. |

Its almost nothing like the flu, other than the fact that both are viruses. Thats what the science says, I can see how fox isn't a big proponent of that. |

What do you mean by nurses shaking their asses at work ? There are doctors and nurses getting sick everywhere because the don't have enough PPE to wear .. this is nothing like the flu . Covid is more like a viral pnuemonia that suffocates you to death slowly .. |

It also has some really nasty side effects. |

Please go away and don't come back. Also chloroquine is likely next to useless and vitamin C has not shown efficacy |

Problem is that not nearly enough testing has been done and it won’t be. White House is holding up testing kits. Another problem with COVID-19 is that one can have it while not having any symptoms and also never developing any symptoms while unknowingly passing it around. The idiocy to open up beaches in Florida and South Carolina can have some serious effects. So many look at it being “small percentage” of population but the amount of deaths from this will more than likely hit over 100K in U.S. by the time it’s contained and that’s a conservative estimate and that’s not taking bin to effect the undiagnosed deaths. This could’ve been mitigated if not all but avoided if the response was competent but unfortunately the response wasn’t. Undiagnosed deaths ... lol |

Undiagnosed deaths ... lol I’ll rephrase for you. People that weren’t diagnosed with COVID-19 but die from it or causes related to it. IMO those numbers (if any) are far outweighed by people who have COVID-19 but die from something else, yet are still counted as a COVID-19 deaths |
