Sanitizer, soap and towels in rest rooms...all gone.

Why did you people not wash or clean your hands before all this started?

-------------------------
I was right.

Riddle,

No, not really.

The current, nominal, death rate from our "flu" is only .1%. Out of 1000 cases, only 1 person is "expected" to die.

Now, this COVID-19 is a different animal. It has really only started and, as such, a lot of its "numbers" will be revised but, it is currently projected that its "nominal" death rate is 3.4%. Out 1000 cases, 34 people are "expected" to die. Lots, lots, lots, worse that the "flu" (340% more!). Who in your neighborhood do you want to do without?

point of my post wasn't a dick measuring contest between viruses ding, lol

Riddle, yes, I understand but, any "mention" of the flu at this point only feeds into the "COVID-19 is No Big Deal" problem, , , , as those in DC seem to want!!

At this time everything might "work out" with "minimal" total effects. BUT, we could be seeing Only The Tip Of The Iceberg and everything could begin to get TERRIBLE soon.

I'm pretty sure that I'd have to say "Fuck the DOW" and fuck the immediate ideas of "helping" big business right now! WE MUST rapidly increase the funding of the CDC and NIH.!!!!

Take a good look at the reports coming out of Italy this morning. Welcome to Thunder Dome!!!

i understand your point. as someone who had a family member die from the flu, my point is simply that it shouldn't be ignored because of the new kid on the block. people are doing that, i know first hand

And above all else, remember...
