Xadoman ★★★★☆ (1035)	No matter how you try to couch it, the numbers speak for themselves. 99.9964% of the world population is not infected with the virus (assuming published numbers). I would not take those published numbers very seriously. Those are completely random numbers. I belive the number of infected is much much more larger and eventually I belive that everyone gets infected at one point. Some just do not feel anything like with common flu. This virus is out there literally everywhere. You have to live on some separated island that has no connections with outer world to not get infected. I belive that there is going to be a panic soon and people will start to gather food to prepare for the pandemia but eventually as times goes by it becomes evident that there is nothing people could do to stop this virus spreading and the BAU continues.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	Novel carona virus COVID19. The word novel means that it is a new strain of carona. That means, being new, that humanity doesn't have experience with it and therefore hasn't developed immunity to it. That means it can spread easier and that the illnesses might be more severe. The confusing thing is that the immune system puts up a battle in the lungs, among other places, causing pneumonia. This battle itself does damage which can cause destruction just like the virus itself can cause destruction. I'm still confused about this aspect.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	You're full of beans. There's no panic, just education of potential patients. Where did you get the idea that it is simply a strain that never got to humans? Also, antibodies against the specific strain are more effective than related antibodies. Why don't you make sure what you say about health related topics. You're telling the story the way you want it to be, not the way it really is.

No, they aren't. A single antibody can fight several different viruses. If a virus susceptible to that antibody is found in the body, the body will simply make more of the same.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	Trying to explain how to protect yourself. You must know that in general a broad spectrum antibiotic isn't as effective against a specific bacteria as an antibiotic targeted against that bacteria. It is usually the same principle regarding antibodies. True, sometimes antibodies can work against a range of pathogens but to strive for the best, is best. Bottom line, to count on existing antibodies being able to protect against a novel virus is negligence. Often the ones saying, "don't panic", are the ones that are most concerned. Hopefully you understand the principle of projection. Edited on 05-03-2020 04:23

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	keepit wrote: Mandatory HOME quarantines. Wearing a mask would be a thought. Maybe using hand sanitizers. With me though, where I live it's doubtful I'll be around anyone that's been around affected people. If I lived in the Seattle area or some place with a lot of international flights, I'd be more concerned. Since Sea-Tac has many flights to the Orient, not surprising that it would show itself there the way it has. And if ITN quits posting during this event which might become an epidemic, then we could wonder if he's just another random number.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	The common cold, actually is part of the coronavirus family of viruses. Coronaviruses are common among animals. The common cold, isn't just one particular virus, which is part of the reason why there is no vaccine. The flu, isn't a single virus, just fewer than a common cold, but generally more severe. The vaccine isn't as effective as most people think. Antibodies aren't our first line of defense, to fight pathogens. I'm pretty sure that everybody has had a common cold, and the flu, and a few other thing during their lives. Very few need medical attention to survive. COVID-19 isn't that special, it's just headline news, on tabloid style media. I'd imagine we would have a similar panicked reaction, if the news were to track and report every respiratory infection related death, every year. Cold and flu kill tens of thousands of people every year. It's more common than we think, mostly because it's not headline news. The COVID-19 has already spread, lot of people had been infected, got over it, just like a common cold. Containment efforts are futile, but help reduce panic 9the government is doing something). A vaccine, isn't likely to be effective, but it gives people hope, keeps them calm, rational. It's no more the end of the world, than climate change.

The number of people infected is unknown, and may never be known with any certainty. Vast majority of people getting in, will have no way of know if it's a common seasonal cold, or the sinister superbug. China, has about 5 times the population density, of even our most crowded, rat infested shithole cities. Your calculations are simplistic, in accurate, alarmist. Are you afraid of cold and flu season every year? The same people at risk of dying, do to complication from common cold and flu every year, are the same people dying from COVID-19. This year, will be the worst, but they are working on vaccines, anti-viral drugs, and more effective treatments. The death rate, should fall, to what we normal expect every year for all respiratory infections every year. It's the media, and politicians, who are causing all the panic, just like they do with 'climate change', baseless nonsense

They can read a script though. Got to do something for money, after you lose your license to practice... Basically, Trump, the governors, and many others are working hardest, to avoid panic. They need to inform, and reassure the public. They also need the public to be careful, and take precautions. Not a real easy job. Unfortunately, it's an election year, so even though panic is our worst enemy in the situation, it's also a great political weapon. It's also an operatunity to get rich.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	Not even 1% if the world population will be tested. There is no other way to tell if an individual is infected with COVID-19. The media, politicians, 'experts' can make any claims they wish, show all kinds of scary numbers they want. The reality, is they can possibly know. It's no secret, no one disputes, that 80% of the people that did test positive, only had mild symptoms, just like the common cold. Why would people get tested, for a common cold? Because they were among people who had been known to be exposed, and potentially infected. The are in the high risk of complications group. Those who suspected they might have been exposed, but never felt symptoms, or only had a mild response, wouldn't generally volunteer for a minimal 14 day quarantine. Specially, if it means being shoved in a groups of people, also suspected of being infected. Isolation, doesn't necessarily mean the sick people are kept separate from each other, just removed from the general, healthy, population. All the numbers, are based on those people, who have actually been tested, and confirmed positive, which we know is only as small percentage of the people, who were actually exposed. Those with mild symptoms are over it, in 5-7 days, just like a common cold. They can spread it before and after, that short period. Vast majority of these mild cases, will go about their normal lives, as if they only had a mild common cold. They can't afford to miss work. It's a huge inconvenience for most, to self isolate, even for a few days. The only thing we can learn, is the geographical spread of COVID-19, not the percent age of the population infected. All calculations contain a huge margin of error, since actual numbers of those infected, can never be known.

Big fugging deal. He wrote some documents. I do that every day. All I know is that he's not here to be cross-examined. Dismissed. You are, however, welcome to express his arguments as your own and defend them, seeing as you ARE here to be cross-examined. So let's apply this to anything practical: tmiddles' so called "experts" on _________ are never present to be cros-examined and he has no training, credentials, and won't accept the possibility that perhaps some of the posters in the forum might know more than the bozos he currently worships and OBEYS, ... with political views being the determining factor Did I mention "Dismissed"? .

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	IBdaMann wrote: Are you about to snap right back into mindlessly listing a bunch of credentials as your PROOF ... You're entitled to your opinion of course. What was that though? Why is Marc Lipsitch an "idiot" ? You see IBD it's conventional in a debate setting to actually make an argument and not just say stuff. You and ITN have gone to some lengths to make a case as to why Wikipedia is unreliable. I confess I'm not a doctor and don't personally know much about the flu. Marc does. If you are going to dismiss what he has to say then do you have a reason? Now if you are going to invoke an "appeal to authority" objection that means I'm make "an argument" and relying on an expert to support it and not supporting it myself. The question is why do you regard what Mr. Lipsitch has had to say as being in dispute? Surely you are not saying everything all the time is in dispute just cuz. or are you ~~~ Edited on 09-03-2020 02:12

Worse, they are arrogant idiots. . Is that the appeal to a lunatic fallacy? I think so.
