And I'm supposed to believe almost half of our population will get it? Somewhere common sense and shitting your pants scared overlapped. Our country has less than 1,400 reported cases. I am aware that number will climb much higher but 70-150 million? No way, no how. It only makes sense in that most of China's population is immobile whereas Americans are highly mobile bringing themselves in contact with people that perhaps live thousands or miles away and may have had contact with people who have travelled considerable distances.

For example, getting the swine flu is common today. The question that should be asked in conjunction with “how many infected?” is “how lethal will it still be at that point?” These things tend to become less dangerous the longer they’re in circulation due both to vaccines being developed as well as simply the way viruses tend to evolve. They tend to get weaker over time as basically the cost of becoming more contagious.

The media is blowing this way out of proportion. Wow!? Me thinks you should step out of your cave, Rokk. Nations don’t quarantine their own Country over the flu. Olympics, pro and amateur sports don’t come to a dead stop over the flu. Stock markets don’t crash over the flu. The media is just reporting what the WHO & CDC are warning about. 1 1

Because we are laughably unprepared and aren't taking the threat serious enough. Other countries like China and South Korea took the necessary steps to prevent the spread of the virus. We're slowly coming around to it and still facing push back from those who don't believe what they aren't directly affected by. The Rudy Gobert video, that's now making the rounds, encapsulates this country's arrogance and ignorance pertaining to coronavirus. Edited March 12, 2020 by Chicken Boo 1 1

I will admit they haven't been good for the most part this season. If Ullmark hadn't gotten hurt they would have been in the hunt. The game against Washington was exciting to watch. Winning doesn't always equal excitement. In general hockey is an exciting sport to watch. Better then football.

Jauronimo Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 12 hours ago, DCOrange said: The 3.4% number isn’t the actual mortality rate but it will still be a ton of deaths if it spreads that much. The rate ranges depending on how effective containment has been and the strain on local healthcare systems. With a 10% to 20% hospitalization rate for those infected it doesn't take much of an outbreak to push our hospitals to the edge. Then the mortality rate on routine illnesses like ruptured spleens will be nigh 100%. 2

I guess that I would ask how China took steps to prevent the spread? Restricted travel is a general part of how their government operates and has been the case since it took form. Also, I would ask who in the US was asking to be prepared in the US ahead of the outbreak as relating to Corona-V specifically. Unfortunately, not being prepared is as old as humanity itself. 1

CountDorkula Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn · 4m Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, league sources tell ESPN. Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings. Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive.
