Average age of contracting this is 60 and death is 80.
People that age should be just quarantining themselves. The rest of us don’t need to disrupt our lives over a cold and fever that is mild for over 90% of people

I guess the experts know less than you? Read the hospital predictions above.


Look at the numbers, karen, that's all I'm saying. Watch the numbers over the next week or two. It will tell you everything you need to know. The real number isn't the increase in positive cases, but the death rates and patterns of death frequency.

I am pleased the health sector and government officials are jumping on the proactive bandwagon, because it does help. The first thing that needs to be done is cordoning off senior citizen complexes and hospitals till this thing passes through. The rest of us will be just fine and dandy. Except you, of course.

Welcome to DCUM, President Trump!

I hate Trump, but I agree with first place. If it’s been here for weeks, but undetected due to lack of testing, the casualty rate is much lower than we thought.

Cool it, Karen. I know some people are getting a perverse pleasure out of their fear and paranoia, so feed off it while it lasts.

Take a guess....
Serious economic problems. When you have an economy that is significantly based on “fluff” I.e. unnecessary expenditures, things that cause those to stop have a magnified impact.

Is that the same person who is theorizing that the reason why their Walmart had a huge sale on frozen food items was because they were preparing to be commandeered by the government to have the freezers used for the dead?


Why store bodies in freezers needed for food when you could cremate them or dig mass graves?

Walmart likely had the sake because 1) people are getting tax refunds and 2) people will stock up on frozen food for the quarantine.


They had the sale because if you reverse the heat pump you can use the freezers as giant ovens. The plan is to cook the bodies of the dead and feed them to the survivors. The heat should kill the virus.


Please stop.

Italian ‘open borders’ has been an utter disaster on so many levels.

Yes, some people have totally lost the ability to think rationally about this.


Except this isn’t the same person who made some claims about freezers. This is a person who did the math and it also coincides with the materials the American Hospital Association has been sending to hospitals to get them ready for this event.

https://www.npr.org/2020/03/06/812967454/u-s-hospitals-prepare-for-a-covid-19-wave

And matches some of the warnings today from Italian doctors to European hospitals.

Appreciate your attempt to make a panic Karen straw man as a foil to your closed minded beliefs but next time maybe just use Google first
