The Coronavirus Thread...

[Cotton]

I read this the other day and my thought was, isn't this kind of obvious? Why is this different from other pathogens we're exposed to? If I'm hiking and drink some river water that has a tiny amount of nasty bacteria, I'll probably be fine. If there happens to be a massive dose in that water, I'm going to be sick as hell.

Just seems like common sense to me that if you're infected with a small amount of virus, your immune system is more likely to be able to take care of it before it can replicate into a large amount. But if you get a huge dose at the start and replicates from there, there will quickly be more than your immune system can handle. Am I missing something here?

My thoughts exactly.

Truth and facts, he says...

Also, I am far from a Donald Trump fan. But it is people like YOU that make it hard not to defend him.

Not really that far..,

Why can’t Georgia and Florida just get along, man?!?!

We are proposing a wall that Florida shall pay for.

This is genuinely uplifting albeit cheesy AF. Wife sent it to me but it touched me.

Please stop posting shit like this. It's just ignorant. You're talking about millions of deaths if you just let it run its course. No amount of money is worth that. I realize you have some other twitter expert to contradict the actual experts, but perhaps you'll listen to this guy:

Then only losing 150K people, as Trump said, would constitute a small miracle, no?

So, your response is "TRUMP BAD!"?

 

[Cotton]

I haven’t seen any reported deaths by Spring Breakers or Corona partiers, only reports that some did catch it.

And they deserve whatever happens. Fucking idiots.

Interesting perspective on how this thing may end up...Extending this article’s concepts with some assumptions, we may just choose to live with coronavirus and accept to resume life knowing it’ll add a reasonable ‘x’ amount of deaths per year.

If seasonal flu is acceptable at 0.1% mortality rate while Spanish Flu was unacceptable at 10%, in another month or two we’ll probably have a strong idea what this coronavirus’ mortality rate will be. If it ends up ~1% overall heavily skewed by age 65+ deaths, could we just say ‘fuck it’ and resume life?

That is pretty close to what has actually happened through the years. At some point in life you realize that there is always a threat and you just adjust your attitude to that it’s just the way it is. One struggle after another and make the most of what you have. There is very little anyone can do to to remove all the threats in the world.

No, I wouldn't agree with that. That is the estimate if we socially distance. A miracle would be 10,000.

When I posted the video, I didn't see the first nested video with the comment. The second video was what I meant to post. My point is what I said.

I'm watching replays of NFL games now. I miss sports so bad.

Granted, Trump's an idiot for calling 200K deaths "good," but it is a good tradeoff compared to millions.

I'm so bored I could watch the XFL.

I wish they would air the 1992 > 1993 Cowboys seasons on a loop. I would pay for that.

Go to NFL.com

I heard they are giving away NFL free Pass or whatever where you can watch any game for free.
