Cdc numbers I just checked
Since January 21 2020
85, 356 confirmed/presumed cases
1,246 fatalities
Out of a country that has 330 million people why has this nation been thrown into such a panic? In your scenario 99 live to 1 dies. I don't get the panic level. Concern for those with medical issues yes but the rest of the population not at all.
We all will die of something. Death is apart of life. When we are born we start dieing. Am I going to live in panic of a virus that's not deadly to the majority of people. Not a chance and I would be wasting my time,energy to worry over this. Worrying produces zero results and gives birth to everything negative.
CDC is just now showing 103,321 cases and 1,668 deaths. But they're underfunded and can't keep up with the count -- they even admit to it right on the page with the stats:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html
A better source being used by most experts is the Johns Hopkins site since they're doing a more complete survey. Current stats are 124,665 cases and 2,191 deaths.

Does the exponential growth of the virus and doubling of deaths every 3 days pose any concern?
At the rate we're going we'll have 4,000 deaths by Tuesday, 8,000 next Friday, 16,000 the following Monday, 32,000 on Thurs.... Maybe this will slow down significantly (I think it will soon), but maybe not.
The amount of people who can't figure percentages in this thread is causing me more panic than the virus or economic collapse.
I am absolutely not worried about myself.
I have been at home for a month now and I am "young and fit".
However, I am concerned about my parents and a couple of highly exposed people who work in the hospital amidst all the infected.
I will bet that people that had corona and died from a heart attack for example were put on the corona list.
just noticed the date on this thread. would be interesting to see how peoples attitude has changed in the last 3 months.have to say i thought by now this would be in the rearview mirror and it's actually alot worse. my state was averaging in the 200's during lockdown. 2 days ago we broke the record @1599 and have ave. over 1000 for 2 weeks. shits out of control, but dont think anyone knows the answer. life goes on i hope. fuck it, going to the gym on my lunch break. better get my mask.def. getting tired of this shit.
People need to remove the emotional response to the virus and look at the facts... The big picture is this is nothing that is going to wipe out the country. NY had 15200 confirmed cases and 115 deaths. Not to sound insensitive but that's nothing to worry about in the large picture of life. Other things kill more people daily. No need to panic just do your part to not spread it by basic hygiene everyone should be doing. The fear/panic driven by the media is part of the problem. We need to resume our normal lives and get back to it. We never shut down like this for H1N1 which killed hundreds of thousands of people.
My attitude has stayed exactly the same since I posted this 3/25
not worried in the least. what i am worried for my beautiful elderly grandma. she is 87 years old. determinia. very worried for her. she aint gonna make it if she catch the corona.
my rest of family doesnt seem to care. one of my little cousins was out partying the nwent to see her. and im the guy who is angry from steriods for raging at the baby cousin for putting my grandma at risk. im the asshole. im the bad guy for being angry over the coronavirus risks he put my grandma in.. hopefully the vaccine comes soon for her. but for myself i wont ever get the vaccine. god knows what possible sides it can have for a rushed vaccine but for my grandma sake she can take it. lord knows if my grandma catch it im going gto be a mess. killing doctors and nurses if they fail to treat her. going ape shit. taking off the medical equipment and beating the libing shit out of the nurses if they cant save her.

Let's make one thing very clear.
Vaccines are not always a solution and in many cases they can be worse. I say this having administered them.
Let's look at the Flu vaccine. A MASSIVE despicable failure. How many tens of millions catch the flu?? But But, the vaccine.
You are living in the twilight zone if you think a vaccine is going to save you.
You are better off using 'treatments". HydroxyChloroquine, or other anti virals. Remdesivir. In Russia they have been using antibiotics and zpacks super successfully. Corticosteroids. Vitamin C, Vitamin D. Improve your overall health and nutrition and fight the virus naturally. That is the solution.
You don't take a vaccine (that very well can and will kill some) for a virus that is 99.9993 % curable.
Likewise you don't take an HIV or AIDS vaccine. You don't take an Anthrax vaccine.
You have been fooled by BigPharma if you think that is the answer to this.
Droosh,
We all die mate. Some of us if we are lucky get to live till we are 87. I understand loving somebody but somebody that is 87 has lived a full life. The young deserve to get to live their lives while they can. What you and others seem to want is to imprison the young and strong so the old can rot away slower. Sorry man but that is exactly what you are advocating for. Sounds retarded when you realize the truth.... Look, everybody dies, I know damn well I will never make 87, and I have a right to enjoy what time I have got left. Now that said, yes we as responsible people should try and limit exposure to those that do not want exposed, but they need to lock themselves up and not the rest of us. I am gonna live my life, and I say this with no bullshit, first motherfucker that tries to take my rights away will end up dead. I'll be the god damn martyr if need be to kick the revolution off.....my rights are more important tome than any of your lives and if you do not feel the same then you are fucking lost!!! and deserve the communism coming your way. Peace, and I hope your grandma stays as healthy as possible but that is for her, and her family to decide on how that is done.
