I lived in NYC back in the 1980s and very early 1990s. It was very obvious to me back then that the man was a fraudulent blowhard and probably of unstable mind. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 People choose to make stupid ass decisions all the time. Drive drunk, take drugs etc. there just isn’t any CNN news cameras to capture the narrative. There’s no difference in these people making dumb decisions as anyone else in the world making another stupid choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarterBlue Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Just now, Troll said: so what's different about this flu than all the others??? No immunity due to it being a new virus. Also, the death rate seems a bit higher. Other than that not that much. But the lack of immunity in the population is especially a big deal. I have not had regular flu in over 30 years. So, between that and the relative ineffectiveness of the vaccines, I pass. With this virus, I would not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I AM IRONMAN Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I expect a spike in the ny/nj area after this weekend. When I was in my twenties and thirties we would pack beach houses especially on this weekend and I don't think much has changed especially not the invincibility part at that young age 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 The difference between this flu and the other is clearly infection rate. Without social distancing, this flu was averaging around a 5 on the scale, meaning a person with it would likely infect 5 or more people, then, with social distancing in effect that number has plummeted below 1. That is the clear difference between this one and our normal flu. The more large gatherings the higher that infection percentage number will rise again. People are certainly going to make their own decisions about whether they're willing to risk it. From my own personal perspective, this one is more dangerous as I know more people affected to the point of hospitalization with this one than the other, and the other has been around my entire life while this one since Nov., so that's saying something in my opine. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concha Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Risk is only high amongst certain specific demographics. We suspected this for awhile and know it to be true now. Keep these people locked down (ex. nursed and assisted care homes) and engaged in safety protocols. Part of keeping people (at large) healthy and safe is having a healthy economy that allows them to be cared for and care for themselves.

Stopping the flu and the coronavirus from spreading The flu and the coronavirus spread in the same way: via viral particles that travel between people in tiny droplets or saliva and mucus. If a sick person sneezes, coughs, or eats within 3 to 5 feet of someone healthy, the particles could land on the healthy person; if the particles enter the person's eyes, nose, or mouth, the person can become infected. The flu is extremely efficient in passing among people before an infected person shows symptoms. But the coronavirus doesn't operate in quite the same way. "COVID-19 does not transmit as efficiently as influenza, from the data we have so far," Ghebreyesus said. That means containment is still possible, he added. https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-compared-to-flu-mortality-rates-2020-3 PS: WE WERE SOLD ON DEATH RATE....WHICH WAS FALSE....

(that would cause you to volunteer for a needle with unknown consequence, where you never would have otherwise....and please don't tell me it's just what the 6 o'clock news tells you...) This is a Coronavirus, but it is not a strain of the flu. Why will I get vaccinated when there is a vaccine out there? Simple: to me it would be worth the risk. The genetic difference among the different strains of flu, are far less that the differences between those different strains of flu and this virus. I have not had the flu in over 30 years, so I assume I am immune. I have no such assurance with this virus and have no intention being a sacrificial lamb. It you want to take the risk, it is up to you. I would advise you not to, but you are a big, educated man, so far be it from me to tell you what to do. You will have to make your own assessment. As for me, I am glad I am retired and don't have to put myself out there daily! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: got any other guesses? 🤔 We are clearly still learning about this virus, man. It's called novel for a reason. It's new on the scene and we are learning about it on the fly. Idk about that particular doctor, I'm sure if we look hard enough we can find someone saying hydrochloroquine is effective also. The R-Nought value for the influenza a and b viruses is around 1.3, which means that an infected person will likely infect one to two others. The novel coronavirus had an R-Nought value of as high as five early on, but with the applied measures dropped below 1 to bring the average to around 3 currently. It's not me guessing, anymore than it's you guessing. This is a week old study vs. that old March stuff you have posted. I'll go with the newer study. https://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html Try gonging your ownself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
