That’s exactly why full measures might be necessary. There is no vaccine for this.
I think if the predictions of "thousands of cases" happening by then in the US it would be justified. Considering how far people for this event it makes sense. I also think that if most people will just attempt to practice better hygiene this won't kill nearly as many people here as other countries, older/sick people being excluded. It's dangerous, but should not be as lethal to the majority of people.
Percentage wise, covid-19 is already worse. Somewhere around a 2% rate versus the flu which is something like .10%.
Not to mention that the event is outside. This is fake news, I think.
If a lot of people start backing out before money is passed yes
Of course I agree that it be taken the proper amount of seriousness. But who determines that right amount? Those who determine the proper amount of seriousness for themselves or others will either be too much for some or not enough for others. People are going to do what they want regardless.
I certainly agree that we don't need to panic. That will cause way more problems. If you're a business that operates internationally, you certainly need to assess risk in an appropriate manner.
To me that higher rate is basically because the initial large outbreak was in a freakin 3rd world country
I guess what I would say is the proper amount of seriousness is what the medical experts tell us. Right now, they're saying, essentially:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
To me, anything beyond that is taking it too seriously for healthy, non-elderly people.
It's like the weatherman predicting snow and ice. No matter how many times they are wrong people flood the grocery stores buying bread and milk. This is causing the same effect for medical supplies
Hell neither is Washington state
I was referring to China and the area the virus started is basically 3rd world with crappy health care and ability to control the spread due to large population.
Italy has by far the most geriatric population in Europe and it is primarily affecting old people and thus the higher death rate.
But it's still mostly only killing old people and people with pre existing complicating conditions
This I am aware of but you don't hear of people dropping dead all over Beijing it's mostly in the rural areas of China that are basically 3rd world
How many old people do you know? This is far deadlier to them than the flu.
My biggest fear is not that myself or wife or even my 5-yr old will get COVID-19. I think even if we did we would likely recover. My biggest fear is that I will get it and unknowingly transmit it to someone who may not recover. Too many vulnerable people in our lives to risk that. We been doing extra precautious stuff for that reason alone.
You may want to rethink your position. Here's some science for you: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/hea...ronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-flu
There's literally no part of China that is 3rd world. Third world is a term that means "neither a liberal democracy aligned with the US (first world) nor a communist dictatorship aligned with the USSR/China."
Now, if you would like to say there are developed and less developed parts of China, I'll allow it.
You can't wait too much longer. There's a lot of logistics that goes into that many people going into an area (or not) for an entire week. And for an event like The Masters that is going to attract so many international visitors....even moreso.
Not disagreeing there since this virus has more of a respiratory component and the elderly are more susceptible to pneumonia.
Nowhere did I compare it to the flu
Semantics. You know what I meant and it was a figure of speech as to living conditionsThere's literally no part of China that is 3rd world. Third world is a term that means "neither a liberal democracy aligned with the US (first world) nor a communist dictatorship aligned with the USSR/China."
Now, if you would like to say there are developed and less developed parts of China, I'll allow it.
No true at all. Do these pics of Wuhan look like a 3rd World location to you? Not saying it's perfect but it is definitely NOT 3rd world.
I have a hard time seeing people mobbing someone that they think has the coronavirus?....
The fear is Covid-19 can be spread simply by bodily droplets in the air v only direct contact. That would mean standing down breeze from someone or just nearby could be enough to transmit the virus. The CDC is testing that possibility right now and prolly what The Masters is concerned about.
I know people connected about as high as you can get connected on the Georgia/National response on this thing. The CDC internal material shows that between 15,000 and 33,000 people will die of "regular" strains of flu this year. That's the norm. The U.S. has had 11 deaths from Coronavirus so far. Who knows how bad it will mushroom, and we need to be cautious, of course. But so far the media-fed hysteria does not match reality.
You might want to brush up on Wuhan. It is a leading manufacturing, modern industrial design, scientific, technology, research and educational area of China.
So what in that message comes from your "highly connected" people? What was the point of that first sentence?
Imagine how much worse the flu would be without the vaccine. Thats the potential of this illness.
The Final Four is at M-B in late March, will it be without spectators? There has been discussions of teams only. Unless there are more confirmed cases in the USA I doubt spectatorless events will take place, BUT it could happen.
Yes I'm sure most of the 11 million are quite wealthy there and have great health care...
I'll gladly catch a chest cold to attend the Masters. People have lost their damn minds.
nah - still not worried. In two months there will be another media driven frenzy to worry about.
