Basically they say it kills 100 times more people. coronahoax hasn't killed anyone. Every death attributed to coronaflu was actually caused by something else, e.g. cancer, heart disease, etc... in a person who happened to also have the coronaflu. The number should be zero. . The basic problem is that people and businesses cannot afford to be idle for a month because of no savings. With pandemics, worse could happen. Would it really hurt people if they had to take it easy and hang out with their friends for a while? Or would people get bored if they only had about a dozen friends to hang with? Hell, they could go golfing even. That's too difficult. Kind of why many people die when they retire. Work is their life. And what people will not want to consider is when will the next pandemic happen? I mean for me, I'm handicapped so it doesn't change anything for me.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	The vast majority of jobs, don't involve sitting at a desk. Democrats don't seem to understand that, since they prefer jobs that don't involve getting their hands dirty. A lot of people live well beyond their income, and carry a lot of debt. These people have little income left every month to save, after paying their bills. They have mortgage or rent payments, for more home, than they really could afford. A car payment, for something that was new and fancy, trendy. Credit card payments, for their Iphone, and service, big TV, and cable service, high speed internet, and many other things. Those bills won't go away, and most can't pay them, if they aren't working. People not working, means fewer products and services, which tends to drive up prices on many things in demand. It's only going to be a few weeks, before the robbing, looting, and killing start to get out of hand. The jails will be full, and little interest in arresting more people.

Democrats do love to overlook "flyover country" and all that those States contribute to keep the country going. I am one of the people who does things the "correct way" in terms of spending, meaning that I do not spend beyond my means and I continually set aside money and save it for emergencies such as we are living through right now. My belief in Christianity also leads me to not desire the "latest and greatest" "things of this world" (meaning that I am content with the earthly possessions that I have been blessed with rather than deficit-spending my way to "bigger and better" earthly possessions). I realize that those things will all fade away, like any other thing on this Earth, so I choose to store up my treasures in heaven instead. But, aside from my religious belief, I am really thankful that I still have a job amidst the current economic climate and can still earn wages, as there are a lot of people right now who are temporarily out of work and have nothing coming in. Prices of numerous things are going to increase (supply/demand, inflation, etc.), but I look to enjoy the crashing gas prices while that lasts. They've already come down about $0.70 or so where I live (are now at $1.65/gal, and are going down each day)

You need to remember though that the technology that Harvey likes doesn't come from his lifestyle. He buys it from people who do not live like he does. Kind of a contradiction.

None of the apocalyptic prophecies have come true, and don't really appear to going to happen anytime soon. All you have to go on, is your belief in their hockey-stick graphs, charts, and computer modes, which only have the value of your faith. I do enjoy living in the modern world, and all the technology. I just pay for what I need, and actually use. Make no sense to me, to pay $100+ a month for cable TV, when I seldom watch TV. Antenna TV is even more than I need or use, but it's free, so no big deal. The TV is on, but I'm always doing other things. Might watch a few minutes here and there, but don't really sit through an entire show. Never owned a brand new car. I don't figure on living in it. If you are really careful, take care of it like your first born child, it might be worth a third of what you paid for it, if you can find someone will to pay that much, for a 5 year old car. It's transportation, I'll drive anything. When it dies on me, and not worth repairing, I'll buy something else. I don't worry about scratches, dents, maintenance schedules. I don't pay full coverage insurance, or worry somebody wants to steal it. Yeah, I'm sort of cheap, but mostly, I just want good value, out of the money I spend. I bought my house, mostly, because a mortgage payment, wasn't much different than rent. Once, payed off, it had value, and only a yearly property tax payment, from then on. Great value, no more large monthly bill, and get some cash back if I decide to move. Renting, you always have that monthly bill, and that money is gone. It's not that I'm old tech, it's that I don't need the newest, and fastest gadgets, when the stuff I already own, still get the job done well enough. I do play with a lot of electronic toys, even build a few myself.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	The numbers are of little actual value. The virus was out spreading around the world since at least December 2019. Cold and flu season, which are the exact same symptoms of Covid-19. Very few people, knew, or even cared, just a seasonal cold, like every year. Mid February 2020, is when the Chinese sent out the alert, shutdown air travel. Testing, has been highly selective, do to the few available test kits. Most of the test kits were used on people, diagnosed with a high fever, or know to have been in contact with a confirmed case. Of course, there were many kits used on the rich and elite, who had the sniffles, or saw someone cough or sneeze, in their grand presence... The vast majority of people infected, over the past 3-4 months, just had a common cold, for all they knew, or anyone else, since they never got tested, got over it, like any other common cold. More test kits are becoming available, and a wider group of people being tested. The total confirmed cases will continue at the same rapid pace, as the test kit processing. If we look at totals, of all people dying of complications from respiratory infections, before Covid-19, and this cold and flu season, we probably wouldn't see a huge increase. The same group of people, are always at risk, and many die every year. The health agencies always overhype, and want people to practice an abundance of caution, to protect this high-risk group. The media and politicians either over bought the hype, or saw an operatunity to profit off this new cold virus. After causing a huge panic, nobody is going to admit it was all over just a new addition, to the seasonal cold and flu family. It's still profitable, but mostly, who would trust the health agency warnings in the future. Many people don't trust the media, or politicians, over that Climate Change crap, and many other things. True, in the beginning, they didn't know it was just a cold virus, and needed to be watch closely. But they should have, at some point realized it wasn't pure evil, and stepped down a little, before the whole world start hoarding toilet paper.

My operating assumption, until I get all the raw data, is that there were 600 deaths in Italy yesterday due to abysmal medical capacity owing to Marxist socialized medicine ... and that those deaths were most likely caused by something other than COVID-19 ... but to spare embarrassment they were thumbscrewed into listing "cause of death" as COVID on as many as possible. If a patient died of heart failure but had recently had the flu, hey, list the cause of death as COVID-19 so that no one questions how we were ranked #2 for healthcare in all of the world by whatever socialist organization did the ranking. ... and you haven't provided any compelling data to counter this assumption. So let me ask you ... why do you believe that a weak version of the flu is suddenly killing otherwise healthy adults? Why should I not treat this hoax as the obvious hoax that it is?

So you think this is all a hoax? What's your theory on why governments are shutting things down? Here's a study pre-covid19 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971219303285 It shows 25,000 flu death in Italy a few years ago. That would be say 4000 a month if they only happened half the year. Italy reported 683 covid19 deaths yesterday. So? You think they are lying? You need "raw data"? What? This is from 03/25. They said there have been 1,0310 Covid 19 deaths in the US. And considering people are avoiding each other and it's still getting worse.... https://www.yahoo.com/gma/coronavirus-live-updates-senators-white-house-clinch-deal-065500948--abc-news-topstories.html Maybe after this they'll have people stock pile N95 masks and latex gloves?

So what would that look like? A human doctor puts a cause of death down. Do you think the doctor is in on the hoax. Again what is the motive for the Italian government? A drastic reductuon in tax revenue inspire them? All worth it to somehow embarrass Trump? IBdaMann wrote: ... why do you believe that a weak version of the flu is suddenly killing otherwise healthy adults? . covid19 is much stronger that the flu is typically. I believe what I'm being told on this one because: 1 - there is no apparent motive to lie 2 - the science and tech on this is effective and long established. They can make a solid determination a patient died infested with a particular virus 3 - if there was a hoax thousands of doctors would be in a position to expose it and extremely powerful interests would want to see that happen 4- pandemics due to virus, like smallpox, are well documented in our history. Not only is the scenario being described not odd it is expected. It would be as weird and baseless for you to claim an earthquake was a hoax. Edited on 26-03-2020 05:36

Do you know any one who has died of a cold? People die of colds too. It's rare, but it happens. Usually they die of flu, not the cold, and Covid-19 is no exception.
