Corona Virus, How has it affected your area so far?
By RadialArcana 2020-05-07 15:06:05
Here is a word you need to use again.
NO.
You'll be using it a lot in the coming years, if you have a damn spine.

What facts? That while the situations in areas that were hit early on are finally on a downward trend, it's in the process of ramping up literally everywhere else in the country?
Like where, and don't quote any media either, point out 1 place that has a high covid19 death rate but also a normal heart attack death rate and pneumonia/flu death rate on par with this time last year. Protip: you can't because hospitals are labeling preexisting conditions as covid19 related deaths for monetary incentives provided by the government. They get paid to say the patient died of covid19

It's not gonna happen, my god you are just a mouthpiece for the media like Vicouss. Stop fear mongering and go look at the facts.
What "facts" are you even talking about? Are you legitimately this ignorant of the situation? Seriously, theres more than enough information about this out there, not to mention documentation of previous pandemics in US history, that should easily show that this isnt going to be a quick thing lasting a few months.
Cases in the midwest are climbing rapidly, and the larger city states are only now seeing a slow drop in cases. Youre still looking at 2 weeks-1month before the city states start slowly trying to reopen, and even then you wont see a full reopen for likely months, as we have no current treatment, and the rural states are going to start shutting down or report massive death tolls as their medical infrastructure physically cant handle something remotely the scale of what happened in the city states even with their late lockdown responses.

Until everyone has had it, it's not going to go away. That's just how it is. That's not fear mongering, that's not opinion.
There is always going to be someone with it to stupid not to spread it. And we've seen nothing yet. There's still 7 billion to go.

Viruses mutate, corona viruses mutate at a greater rate.
The goalposts will always be moving.

So, thoughts and feelings then?
Cause last reports I saw, flu/pneumonia death estimates for the 2019/2020 season were pretty much on par with what they have been.
Also, protip, the trend of mislabeling deaths and for monetary incentives has been a thing for a very long time. Typically, it's been mislabeling them towards flu and pneumonia.

There isnt any evidence that this strain of covid is likely to mutate to an extensive degree.

The left want a certain kind of world, a globalist world with very few civil rights.
The right does not want this.
The left love this virus, it's giving them their utopia. They want everyone afraid so they can usher in the brave new world.

They don't, at all. Since the nation is run by Trump you're gonna be mad. Rip Canada tho.

Imagine thinking every single republican is out protesting.
By Viciouss 2020-05-07 15:23:55
Your poll clearly states a plurality of Republicans oppose the lockdown protests. Which does more to back up Nyaaruns statement than any of your jibberish.

So glad this is almost over, the reopening is almost here!
....? "Almost over?" This is going to be a problem until 2021 unless we develop a vaccine multiple times faster than we have in human history, or develop a working treatment/cure. If we do neither, it could be a problem up til potentially 2023, given the US has had pandemics lasting multiple years that completely crippled it. This should be unlikely, given the medical advances, but there is precedent. A treatment exists. But we can't use it because Trump talked about it.

Read the article, theres no republicans in the picture, and the article is a poll based on nothing, which his argument is based on, a big nothingburger, use that head boy
Edit: YouGov and YahooNews polls are being cited in the article as their sources but they randomly post a picture of protesters that have nothing to do with YouGov or YahooNews just so you can see their angry mob face and trigger you which worked lol

Uh no there is no cure for covid-19.

A comprehensive treatment does not exist. That is one potential treatment to a potential issue. Its an immune system suppressant. Not something you just use all willy-nilly on everyone that is infected with something.
It has a potential use for if your body is over reacting and doing more harm to itself than good, which isnt going to be a viable treatment for every patient that contracts this and needs urgent care. Not to mention it comes with its own risks and drawbacks, which is why it needs testing... as every medical professional has shouted from the roof tops countless times.
It showed some promise for some cases for some conditions, but that is not reliable data to use going forward, and has since been mixed results.

The article was nice enough to bullet the highlights. Here, I will copypasta for you, since you just looked at the picture.
Quote: A YouGov and Yahoo News survey published on Monday found that 60% of Americans oppose the ongoing protests, with just 22% supporting the demonstrations and 18% who said they were unsure.
Even among Republicans, a plurality of 47% opposed the protests compared to 36% who support them.
In the poll, a resounding 71% of respondents were more concerned about lifting coronavirus restrictions too quickly compared to 27% who were more concerned about re-opening too slowly.

I think we have hit a new low in Soraishin. Denying the existence of covid-19. Not even kireek or absknight was that stupid.

I'll be kind enough to remind you where the "polls" came from, YouGov and YahooNews, both websites did not disclose who or where they did the polls at, probably online in the comment section. It's not a credible poll, its not a credible story, its literally facts I don't like but you'll defend it to appear angry instead of embarrassed lol

Uh, this is your source, not mine. You posted it. I don't need to "defend" anything. Did you really just want us to look at the picture and believe you?

So, today was the first case of the virus being confirmed in my rural county.
This last week has been pretty insane to start. Most grocery stores have been emptied, toilet paper is non existent. Bars, hotels, and casinos have been shutdown as of yesterday, our town relies heavily on these sources of income. There are now rumors that our mine sites will soon be shutdown as well. I plan to withdraw a substantial amount of cash from the bank tomorrow morning, and hit every store I can get my hands on to get some groceries before the hoarding gets any worse.
I have heard of California being on total lockdown, as well of rumors of people even being imprisoned for attempting to leave the state.
Curious to hear how other parts of the country are getting along, surprised there isn't an official Corona-Virus thread here yet.
Crazy stuff.
