Anyone care to see the CDC numbers for the current flu season and then tell me what all this hullabaloo about the Coronavirus is all about? The news media needs to be arrested for promoting a panic pandemic.

Yeah, I was just looking at this... over 100k have died from the "seasonal flu" so far in 2020, the Coronavirus = 6k.

What will happen when the doctors and nurses get sick?

Move it back to Sat/Sun only and it may be worth all this.

I wouldn't count on warm weather coming to the rescue. Malaysia is hot as fuck right now and they just had a new outbreak.

Theyll have to send in the S.W.A.T to shut me down.

I just talked to my main supplier and he told me they won’t be shutting down because they supply hospitals. I asked if there was a scenario where they are fully functional but wouldn’t be able to sell to me, he said no. Business as usual unless something catastrophic were to take place and it was found that the virus has infiltrated the food supply.

the realists seem to be okay with 60k deaths per year from regular flu.

What’s worse - Dropping all the precautions, let the coronavirus run it’s course and kill another 60,000? Or continuing this flatten the curve for 2 months and crippling the economy for 99% of the populace?
I think we could benefit from way more people dying and the economy rolling along.

Sick people die, that’s what they do. Especially the old.
