Correct. What we are seeing is a overreaction. The world isn’t going to end and 150 million people are not going to die. The flu kills more everyday then this virus has during the same timeframe.

I'm sure it's no worse than the flu, China shuts down cities and factories all the time.

If the virus is in those areas, whether they received it from somewhere else or not it still definitely means that the virus is capable of surviving in a warm/wet environment and making people sick. You can speculate on how much but it's pretty clear that just being in a warmer/wetter climate doesn't mean you're immune to the virus which is a conclusion some we're potentially coming to after reading earlier posts in this thread.

Huh? I never had an issue with the incubation period you provided, it definitely occurs with respectable frequency but it was not the norm or average. However, I do have an issue with you constantly trying to nit-pick and put a negative spin onto every little thing I say on this forum

I'm not speculating here, I said the map you posted doesn't offer any insight as to whether HTH transmission is reduced or not in warmer climates. That's it. I also never said being in a warmer climate makes a person immune to this particular virus or any other, only that the data from the map does not indicate anything useful in determining how HTH is affected if any by a warmer climate. From looking at the map we simply don't know how many of the cases in warmer climates are via HTH transmission in that warmer climate (if any) or if they occurred elsewhere in another region or cooler area. I'm not trying to argue this here but just pointing out the map doesn't really offer us any helpful insight into HTH transmission in warmer climates. There may be other data out there which helps but the map itself doesn't provide the necessary context or information to figure out how a warmer climate affects HTH transmission or if those cases are simply people who caught the virus elsewhere before returning to a warmer climate/region.

I'm not sure what you are trying to make a point of with regards to the 14 day incubation period. I never claimed it was the norm or average, my original statement was "It supposedly has a 14 day incubation period where people can be contagious and not know it" to which you responded "The virus does not have an average 14 day incubation period" and "I never had an issue with the incubation period you provided, it definitely occurs with respectable frequency but it was not the norm or average." I never claimed or asserted whatsoever the 14 days was an average in my original or subsequent posts.
 
The fact that it’s a new virus that’s unknown to people and came from a place where stats can’t be trusted is freaking people out, along with the insane conspiracy theories that pop up, also it’s rate* of spread and so far its mortality rate, which I think will drop a bit

I’m sorry to hear that. I lost my grandpa, and best friend, to pancreatic cancer in 2015. Diagnosed on the Monday after Christmas and died the following Monday. I’m grateful it didn’t have a chance to rob him of his dignity.

Thanks buddy, she is 82 and lost grandpa last November. She was diagnosed last week with stage 4 thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs, breast. She has Dementia so she has no idea what she has and doesn’t remember anyone. It kills me when I visit her. I stop by the center every weekend. Yea I’m a grandma boy!

I think Rush is saying this to try to help prop up the stock market to help his buddy, Trump.

No, I think hes just voicing his true independent opinion. Nothing wrong with doing that. Ill admit I waffle on this issue in trying to discern information,its source etc. Right now Im like a lot of folks in wait n see mode.
The stock market and economy will be fine after this passes. Long term ,like the tarriffs,trade deal re-nogiations , this situation will hopefully turn a negative into a posotive by having companies re- examine their supply chains

I dont think your seeing the full scope of how this effects our economy. I would be willing to bet the china government has lost most of the ppl support or trust.(that's is if they really had any to begin with)

Let me just be clear here, I never was concerned about HTH transmission only if the virus is capable of surviving in a warm/wet climate and it clearly is because people are getting sick from it left & right south of China even if they received it elsewhere, you speculated on possible avenues how it could have gotten there but you or no one else knows all of those details.

Also, given I nearly have a masters degree in atmospheric science, I'm pretty sure I can read and I know what I said to you wrt incubation period, it was a misunderstanding from both you and me I don't know why you continue to stubbornly go on & on about it. I think you're arguing for the sake of arguing at this point because you like to interject and cherry pick every teeny, minute detail of everything I say on this forum and spin it in a negative light.

I'm truly done arguing with you and consider yourself blocked by me.

Interested to see where we finish the next few days, if we fall off at least 10% from peak values earlier this year it would officially qualify as a "correction"

I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he really believes that this is no worse than a common cold, then maybe he really is an idiot on this subject after all. :confused: But I still don't believe that he's that stupid and still think he's protecting Trump/stock markets and not being honest at all.
