Yes if 80% of the country gets and a 2% death rate..that’s only 5.232 million deaths. That is not even close to the numbers of deaths in WW2.

It's another Holocaust. That didn't affect many people.

Are you that stupid?

If the Idiot in Chief shut down the entire country for two weeks, we could lower the death rate. That means a lot more people would live through this pandemic. Some of those people who die will be people you and I know. And a lot more people could get back to work sooner. But because the Idiot in Charge dismissed the severity of this outbreak (he's stupid, so no surprise), many, many Americans will die. Maybe you too, PP?

Go ahead, live your life as you wish, but I'm staying home for the good of my family and my community.

I do not want to spread this virus if by any chance I could contract it but have no symptoms. It's a small sacrifice. And I'm doing a lot more reading.

I'm not sure what TV channel you are watching (no TV in this house) but just turn it off.

The current transmission rate of the disease is estimated to be between 8 and 17% -- Not 100% or 50% or even 25%..

see: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.14.20023127v1.full.pdf

Page 3: "We specified a rate parameter, β, for the transmission rate due to documented infected individuals.
The transmission rate due to undocumented individuals is reduced by a factor 𝜇."
and then in their conclusions: β * 𝜇 is around 14% (between 8 and 17 when you get the errors on it) -- column 2 in table 2 page 10 --

17% means if you meet 5 people in a day one catches it.

You’re a freaking idiot, not to mention selfish. Do you realize you could be a carrier and infect others, resulting in death? You must be a millennial!

Our hospitals are overwhelmed, doctors and nurses are fighting a battle that we all should be helping them by staying home. This isn't hard we are not prepared. To all the people who think the media is over reacting, when you or your loved one gets sick stay home!

Bone-headed articles. Am Greatness .com. Really?

If we overwhelm the hospitals it's not just the C19 critical who will die. What about all the other injuries and illnesses that normally would require an ICU? Why are you in denial? Just stay home!

Scary but not at all unrealistic. Stay at home people.

It's scary because it's poorly written panic porn.

Love this analogy.

Where are the people who said this was made up and overblown now? Are you the people running to every local store trying to find toilet paper and food?
