Coronavirus panic room thread

I am getting sick of these bold theories outside the realm of reality.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/14/health/social-distancing-research-coronavirus-2022-trnd/index.html

The study researchers say they are aware that such prolonged distancing, even if intermittent, would likely have "profoundly negative economic, social, and educational consequences."

Let me translate this: This is fucking impossible and anybody in a state of authority that thinks this is feasible is huffing paint. This nonsense needs to stop at the end of May at the latest. This virus is only a serious risk to a percentage of the population and you can't let the entire world be held hostage by the idea of their safety. "Oh the poor 14% of seniors in this country who are at risk (not mentioning who will live if they get the virus)!" How about all 315 million people at risk of being jobless and having no money for food and shelter because we decided to save a fraction of a fraction of that? Force the ones at risk to stay at home and let the people who aren't going to keel over from even just the regular flu to move on with our lives.

Edit: It's not worth the effort.

Why lol. You pretty much openly admitted to everyone you have absolutely no qualms about the potentiality of people dying if it meant that the vampire capitalist wheels keep on spinning. Might as well at least try and defend your bizarre position.

Pretty sure my dissertation has been tanked at this point with everything going on. My university has no-detriment policies in place but I was hoping to not have to rely on them.

Ben Shapiro said there is close to 0% chance of you dying from corona if you are young and healthy. It also hasn't affected Sweden much more than others despite keeping things open. 

DeSantis jumped the gun without a plan in place. We got really fucked in the last election for governor, this clown we have now has no idea what he's doing but that drugged up nympho would have been just as useless.

Pneumonia doesn't really care how old you are. And I think there's something critical that everybody is overlooking due to their insistence on "fixing" the economy back up to speed. All viruses mutate. Corona's death rate may not be staggering compared to other pandemics of the past, but right now what we're looking at is a lucky blow. What if it develops more lethal parameters? With a virus, these scenarios are all based on time. It's not a question of if, if it's a question of when. The more people that catch and spread it, the better chances it has to develop more virulent strains or make cross species jumps like the one that killed that tiger in the new york zoo.

Ha.

GA Gov Kemp is opening bowling alleys, nail salons, massage therapists, and gyms Friday. This is six days before the shelter-in-place order ends, and also while not even getting close to the WH guidelines and infection rates are still up. This idiot bootlicker is going to kill us all.

Maybe you could make a documentary about it. Call it "Bowling for Corona"

So apparently some studies are coming out now showing evidence that the virus could be dozens of times more widespread than the current numbers suggest.

Not sure how to feel about that. If it's true it would mean that the mortality rate is substantially lower, but also that a person is significantly more likely to contract it. That's great if it turns out to be less lethal than initially thought, but if so many more people end up getting it it can still overwhelm health care infrastructure all the same.

This was already thought to be the case for a number of sources. It shows exactly how lethal the virus is: Not at all. But that doesn't make for an interesting headline so all we get is talks about how it attacks your brain, makes you infertile, gives you a stroke, and turns you black. Acting like this thing is going to explode the planet is just baseless fear mongering.

If you look at https://bing.com/covid/

Literally every country has a steady upward trend that is slowing down only now.

Meanwhile China with its 1 billion population with 3 people per square meter, had a spike and then a sudden null growth rate.

Seriously?

meh
less people are gonna die to this than the flu anyway

This did not age well.

Actually
US deaths are at 53k from corona
the 2017-2018 flu season reported 79k dead from influenza as per CDC records.

so I'm still riding this bet.

Hey you just posted the news from my city. I can't believe they got over 1 million views from this.

In my county there has been over 700 cases of the virus with the county population near 900,000. Over 300 people have recovered from it so far with that number increasing slowly but steady as with the confirmed cases. There has been 4 deaths caused by the virus here. The people that died have had a history of health problems.

That's because China is spreading nothing but bullshit and lies about their numbers. They had the audacity to come out and say "Well at least we don't have as much deaths as Italy!" when anyone knows they're full of shit. I'm sick and tired of seeing people believe anything that comes out of their mouths.

I’m posting it everywhere I know of in an effort to discredit fear mongering doomsday fetishists.

Right from the start the math in that video is all wrong. There's a pretty clear sampling bias that more people should have taken note of, specifically the assumption that people visiting urgent care count as a random sample of the population.

There's also no consideration given to long-term organ damage caused by the virus, only deaths.

I guess this isn't surprising given these guys are business owners and likely have a vested interest in lifting the lockdown.

The popularity behind this video just seems like a classic case of confirmation bias and appealing to authority.

NOOOO YOU CAN'T LOCKDOWN A COUNTRY DURING THE FUCKERY OF A PANDEMIC LIKE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY'S RATIONAL RESPONSE, I NEED TO GO BACK TO MY MINIMUM WAGE SLAVE TIER JOB, I NEED MY HECKIN HAIR CUTTERINOS

I was going to post a long comment with sources about how this pandemic is over-exaggerated and how comparing a virus with a 1% fatality rate to the planet exploding is just being straight up dishonest and morally bankrupt; but fuck it you can read for yourselves. I'll just spam memes since the only way you know how to react to opposition is boil their arguments down to laughably false insinuations.

Wow we sure are smart here on Serious! I'm glad discourse to people's livelihood boils down to posting Soijak comments! I'm not dishonest at all!
