Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

Status
Not open for further replies.
With summer rapidly approaching in the deep South, im worried about forcing people to stay at home. There are some poor and elderly people who can't afford air conditioning. Some people rely on going to public places like a mall or store in order to cool down and a lot of those places are closed.
 
It had looked like we were improving in Tennessee a few days ago, but that hope is now gone as we have resumed the escalating trend. :(

New cases:
March 21st - 143 (371 total)
March 22nd - 134 (505 total)
March 23rd - 110 (615 total)
March 24th - 52 (667 total)
March 25th - 117 (784 total)
March 26th - 173 (957 total)
March 27th - 246 (1203 total)

It’s a sad day in our history when we declare Mc Donald’s and GameStop “essential” over the gym or the barber shop. That’s what’s wrong with America and perhaps the entire world.

Unless you limit the gym to a few people at a time, how exactly do you imagine they'd be able to run a gym when you are supposed to be social distancing and also having to clean up everything constantly after someone uses it?

If we do this right and take it seriously we wont need to do it in the summer as much.
 
Maybe a hint at how bad it really was in Wuhan?

Urns in Wuhan Prompt New Questions of Virus’s Toll

(Bloomberg) -- The long lines and stacks of ash urns greeting family members of the dead at funeral homes in Wuhan are spurring questions about the true scale of coronavirus casualties at the epicenter of the outbreak, renewing pressure on a Chinese government struggling to control its...

There's only been 3 deaths out of 10+ million. That to me says something is working.

Welcome to the forum! I suppose you haven’t been following this virus very long. It is a very slow killer. A month ago only a hand full of people had died in the US, now over a thousand have. Unfortunately the number of deaths will increase in NC and the rest of the country. There are numerous articles that explain how this virus spreads and the steps we can all take to slow it’s progress through our country. Take some time to educate yourself. Stay safe!
 
Good thing Lowe’s is essential . It’s packed

I don't have a problem with it being labeled essential, but all non essential items should be barred from being bought. Wal-Mart should be the same way, relegated to a grocery store only.
 
I'm sorry, but the stay at home order for NC is absolutely ridiculous in light of the new evidence that we have likely been sold a flawed death rate based off wrong assumptions. We are dramatically hurting our Economy over using these bad modeled predictions to make decisions. I already posted one article from the WSJ but didn't realize it was making you join to read it. I think this one will work.

'Is the Coronavirus as Deadly as They Say?': Professors claim more data needed to know mortality rate

Two professors of medicine at Stanford University published an opinion article Tuesday in the Wall Street Journal, suggesting there is little evidence that the coronavirus would kill millions of people without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines. “Fear of Covid-19 is based on its high...

Yes Dewpoint Dan, don't come on here posting your nonsensical optimistic fact. Especially when you don't have a biased tweet or news article to back up it. This shows that you are clearly an uninformed buffoon when it comes to virus knowledge and need to "educate yourself". As the saying goes, 'Check yoself, before your wreck yoself".

This State Representative asked the Gov task force this question.



He just doesn’t get it.

Apparently the governor of Georgia and South Carolina read from the same script. The point of the order is to stop it from getting bad. Not wait til it gets bad in a certain area

I still want to know how SC is going to enforce and monitor out of state visitors who are supposed to self quarantine
