I was kinda referring to you, yes (I mean that other guy was having a go at you). Plus, we gotta remember, not everyone's English is mother-tongue here. Someone called me out on my shit-talking, so I toned it down a bit. What I'm saying, and what you're saying too, is that we need to cut each other a little slack. This has real world repercussions, and I don't think how we talk on here needs to be a problem.
Also, I forgot to mention the paperclip guy

Because he is a moron who is full of shit. This bit in particular:
"The population of China is about 1.4 billion, three times greater than ours. If we suffer an equivalent proportion of deaths, then 1,000 Americans will die from COVID-19, one-twentieth to one-fiftieth of the number who have died from influenza. "
China, huh?
China has handled it with fucking draconian measures. Actual expected scale of mass Covid-19 infection if no measures are taken is 70-80% of the population.
5%+ of those infected will die.
That is more dead people, than in WWII.

You should direct your ire towards China, they are the ones who created this situation.
Yeah it's hilarious that people keep blaming their local governments (or more broadly, Trump) for this.
All blame has to go squarely at the root of the problem.

No i am not emotional about anything.
My job turned me into teflon. I am dealing with a lot of asshole clients day by day and i dont care its just a job . If client is shit i just fire them.Nothing sticks to me though i like to call people out on their bull.
A lot of people here do a great job and i would hope more and more people will contribute as the world is changing rapidly and we are still 3 months away from the peak.

Actor Idris Elba says he's tested positive for coronavirus
Actor Idris Elba tweeted on Monday that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and said he feels OK.
"This morning I tested positive for Covid 19. I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus," Elba wrote.
Actor Idris Elba says he's tested positive for coronavirus
The novel coronavirus, or Covid-19, has killed more than 6,400 worldwide, according to an estimate from John Hopkins University. Follow live updates here.www.cnn.com
So I guess he isn't cancelling the apocalypse

No they wont. The actually CFR is much lower. SK CFR is >1%. Same in places like Canada and Germany. Your assuming that the only cases are the ones being reported tested and that there are no people who have it and don't get tested and just recover.
1% CFR is bad, but even if everyone in the world got this it would "only" be about 70 million deaths. Thats a lot no joke but we have gone through World Wars and Spanish Flu that killed 10's of millions when the population was around half of what it is today.
And if this thing did take out a million people you bet that they would fast track any cure and skip and FDA testing etc... We already have multiple vaccines and cures being talked about and studies from china/Japan have shown HIV drugs can work against it as well.
This can become very bad but I doubt it will get to the point where it wipes out millions and even if it did its not going to be 5% of the population because the CFR is not near 5%.

The 1% death rate goes to 15% pretty fast when too many people get sick at once and no assisted oxygen is available for the ones who get serious pneumonia.,
Death rate is at least 50 times higher than H1N1. So, yes. Good chance.

Its like people complaining at the janitor mopping up the floor because his mop is too small, but no one blames the guy who poured the 2 liter bottle of coke on the floor.
Regardless of what our leaders do they were dealt shitty hands in an unprecedented situation. But the dealer needs to be the one whose ire is directed towards. China fucked us all by being shits when this first started.
Notice how the WHO now talks about Pandemics, banning travel, Europe is the epicenter. But when it was in China they didn't want to use the P word, they didn't want to ban China travel because it might be racist.
No travel ban: Tedros, as he is called, said the WHO does not recommend limiting either trade or travel to China at this time. “In fact, we oppose it,” he said. The health organization said it would question border closures, quarantining of airplane passengers who aren’t ill, and similar steps. Some regions have taken such measures, including Hong Kong, which has sought to limit transportation to the Chinese mainland. British Airways and American Airlines said this week they would halt or limit flights to China as well.
Tedros also called on countries to combat false information about the virus circulating on social media, including Twitter. “This is the time for facts, not fear; for science, not rumors. This is the time for solidarity, not stigma,” he said.
WE OPPOSE IT!
You want to blame people blame CCP and Tedoras plain and simple.

Honestly, I just wish they would do it already. My area has already shut down restaurants, bars, nightclubs, etc,etc. Seems like they are testing the waters but I will be surprised if we arent on lockdown by the end of the week.
It's still early. Even Italy has a long way to go to reach that number and they're the current worst case scenario.

Officially on work from home status now.. got my desk sort of setup. I've only ever done it once or twice so this will be interesting. Still trying to find a way to cram a 3rd monitor on the desk like I have at work. I liked having a breaking news monitor lol
