Novel Coronavirus discussions

[Handlebars]

Well if things get really tough you may have to regard the boxer as a hot meal. Maybe I'll ride around the
neighborhood crying " bring out your dead!' just for practice. After all this is just a dress rehearsal for a real
pandemic, The plague killed 1/3 of Europe. Sure hope we're better prepared if that ever happens..
This is just a paper cut compared to what would have happened if Ebola had gotten loose.

Ebola almost self limits because it's very obvious and kills fast, instead of having it's infected walk around mostly not symptomatic, lining up for shopping, using buses and elevators, and going to doctors offices and pharmacies with the sick and WHERE THE STAFF ARE NOT WEARING MASKS yet. So this is worse although the mortality rate is much lower. More people will die and the health and fitness after- effects on the survivors is not even being discussed yet.
The numbers of dead vs "recovered" is staggering, in some western countries. Take a look at the figures.

These ratios will change as more of the infected die and more recover. Recovery takes longer than dying, so it should improve but it's going to have terrible numbers regardless. Hospital care is almost a thing of the past already. They can't even deal with the dead bodies.

But these arrogant liars called officials still refuse to admit their "error" to cover themselves for not preparing to make masks for everyone to wear instead of taking the horrid route of taking away all rights, shutting down cities, and making giant morgues.

More state lock downs coming besides CA. Tough on many small businesses, and the layoffs will be unprecedented.
