And Bank, it wasn't Pace but I've better things to do than argue with an ass so enjoy your evening.
Malcolm Gladwell:
Pretty scary.
When test kits finally become widely available and the number of confirmed cases explodes, are you gonna come back on here and apologize?
Could just be me, but I'm in favor of keeping it so that all of my neighbors and elderly grandparents aren't sick.
If I have to miss a cruise or have my kids at home for two extra weeks, I would think that the relatively minor inconvenience of disrupting my daily routine is a lot less than the somewhat major inconvenience of being stuck up in a hospital bed needing fluids and a ventilator just to get through my day.
How about when test kits are available and the number of confirmed cases explodes...thereby drastically reducing that mortality rate down to normal seasonal flu numbers...will anyone come back to say "well, I guess we overreacted a bit"?
You are more likely to be stuck in a hospital bed from a car accident every single day than you are catching a serious case of Coronavirus. There is a risk/reward decision everyone has to make every morning. Looking at the data and taking all things into consideration, Coronavirus is pretty far down on the risk chart for me. If I was 80 years old with some immunodeficiency issues, I'd probably be staying inside and avoiding people as much as possible. My dad is a retired medical doctor and a public health specialist...he's 77 years old. He's not all that concerned. Normal seasonal flu precautions...just like all the experts have been saying.
This! Holy crap I touch my face a lot. I guess I picked the wrong time to try to grow a beard.
I am aware of your stance on this; you aren't likely to be directly affected, so you don't care.
The thing is, if there are thousands of people in our limited ICU beds across the country, what happens when I do get in a horrible car accident? Who treats me? Where do I go?
Sounds like you need to self-quarantine yourself until this all blows over. Seriously, why risk going outside at all if you are truly that concerned?
An extra 12,000 to 61,000 deaths and 140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations seems pretty bad.
Stop fanning the flames of hysteria. Everybody knows that "Dr. James Lawler, who researches emerging diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the Global Center for Health Security" is complicit in this quest to enact total government control over our population.
This is just the media showing they still have all the power
