keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	Only 5 new cases in china this week. What did they do to squish the virus? They used draconian precautions, isolation, shutdowns, and massive quarantines to stop the spread. What they didn't do. They didn't lie to each other saying the covid19 was just the winter flu and there was no need for precautions. Watch ITN/ IBDM try to turn this into a semantic argument.

Watch keepit try to claim that this lame version of the flu was somehow going to kill mankind but was thwarted by authoritarian Marxist control. Humanity saved by Marxism preventing a catastrophic demise of the planet. Where have we heard that before? . Attached image:

Wouldn't be a big deal if you could admit you're wrong (just to yourself is fine). I'm wrong often. Relax, accept it, move on. Now SARS only infected a relatively small group, no "herd immunity" developed. The Spanish Flu was not contained and the chart below of UK deaths shows it did not just pop up and die out. Everybody that was going to get it got it. Even Woodrow Wilson in 1919. Science and Technology really are worth a damn. They CAN be effectively applied to make our lives better. There are serious consequences to not having that benefit. Edited on 15-03-2020 20:08

gfm7175★★★★★ (3314)	Wow. It's sad to see how confused tmiddles and keepit are regarding how the immune system works. My personal experiences with the flu: I've only started bothering with getting the flu shot for the last couple of years. Before that, I never bothered as I really hated getting any sort of shot. Yes, during these last two years (as of today), I have not gotten the flu (meaning that I have not actively noticed any symptoms or been bedridden or anything like that). However, over the last at least ten years prior to that, when I wasn't getting flu shots, I had only gotten the flu (as defined earlier) ONE time. Other than that, I don't think I've had it since grade school (maybe one time during my high school or college years). I wonder how I avoided getting it then, since I wasn't getting vaccinated and I was still around other sick people and everything... (rhetorical wondering)

Did you have a point? Are you about to try to pitch Scientology or something? I very rarely have flu symptoms myself and I've never had the flue shot.

Grossly wrong at that. tmiddles wrote: gfm7175 wrote:I wonder how I avoided getting it then, since I wasn't getting vaccinated and I was still around other sick people and everything First of all you should say "I wonder how I avoided having symptoms" since you were probably having viruses that your body killed in that time. Obviously you did not read the rest of that post of mine very closely. If you would have, you would have noted how I defined "getting the flu". You also do not realize how you are precisely making my point here. tmiddles wrote: Did you have a point? Are you about to try to pitch Scientology or something? I did. That you have no idea what antibodies are and how they work. You have only further shown that you are clueless. tmiddles wrote: If you are thinking you "didn't get it" because you have immunity/antibodies even though you "didn't get it" you're wrong. It doesn't work that way. See above. tmiddles wrote: And yes, we actually do know how this works. "We"? Are you saying that you are possessed by another entity or entities? Edited on 16-03-2020 05:30

(rhetorical wondering) Were you going somewhere with that? Do you not agree that, just like me, it's not a marvel at all that you've only rarely had flue symptoms in your life? And nothing I said about antibodies was inaccurate by the way. You are wrong to say "your body already had antibodies," in relation to a virus I have not had before because it does not. Antibodies are specific to an antigen, there are not wild card, I'll flag em as I see em, antibodies.

Xadoman ★★★★☆ (1035)	Question about quarantines. Do you think it actually helps to fight viral diseases or it only prolongs the inevitable. For example chickenpox. We do not vaccinate here against this virus and most people get it during their childhood. For those few who get it in adulthood the disease could be deadly. So it seems that chickenpox is a mainstream virus. It spreads airborn like flus. Spanish flu went all over the world when people did not travel as much as nowadays. So overall what do you think about implementing quarantines for this disease? We have normal flu running its course all over the world and nobody cares about quarantines. My guess is that after two months the BAU continues because otherwise there is going to be a massive economic collapse. Edited on 16-03-2020 06:43

None of the Coronavirus is the Coronavirus any longer then. It mutates and evolves just like all other life, except that viruses do it so much faster. Ergo, either the Spanish Flu is still around or there is no more Coronavirus. You need to pick one and remain consistent. . I don't think i can [define it].

But according to you, I'd be getting the flu all the time since I never got a flu shot, and strains are distinct, so I wouldn't have any immunity to those strains because I wouldn't have antibodies because I wasn't ever infected before and because "antibodies are specific to antigen", according to you. Also of note, the word 'flu' is spelled 'flu', not 'flue'. A 'flue' is a duct within a chimney that smoke travels through. A 'flu' is the viral infection that we are discussing here. tmiddles wrote: And nothing I said about antibodies was inaccurate by the way. I've noted your inaccuracies.

You continue to conflate "getting the flu" meaning having the virus infect you producing antobodies and having that infection be bad enough you have symptoms. You keep saying I got antibodies wrong. How? gfm7175 wrote: tmiddles wrote: Antibodies will protect you from specific antigens.
