Well yeah...if I’m coughing or think I have it I’m not going to go to the mall and give it to everyone. Yes everyone should be vigilant and act with precaution. I just think this massive “freak out” from the public is unwarranted.

Th incubation period can be two weeks before symptoms.

Sorry I’m not scared. Virus only affects elderly or people with chronic respiratory issues. 
the way people are panicking right now you would think body carts would be coming to our neighborhood during trash days.
 I listen to the experts (ie: doctors) and all experts are saying that the media is blowing this way out and have no idea what they are talking about. Basically saying stop reporting on medical issues you have no clue about.

 

 

People with other underlying health risks outside of just chronic respiratory  issues also should be included.   Per the experts.

I’m “informed” not scared. This virus affects elderly and people with chronic dieases. If people we dying that are young and healthy and children, then it would be a different story.

medical community has stated numerous times that “‘majority” of people getting Cv-19 will only experience mild symptoms. 

1) death is not the only consequence of the disease this virus causes.  there are significant negative impacts to daily lives of those infected.  moreover, should the disease take hold it would stress our healthcare system immensely, which would have knock-on effects for people suffering from other illnesses.

2) almost 20% of our population is in a more vulnerable demographic.  as responsible citizens we should be concerned for them and take proactive steps to avoid risking their health.

3) that does not mean panic, but it does mean doing things like shutting down large gatherings and taking precautions now so we don't end up anywhere close to what Italy is experiencing.

it is worth noting that your initial post was highly dismissive, but lately you've expressed clear concern for what the disease can do, and apparently have modified your behavior because of it... good on you

Dangerous approach.  This virus is a typically mild flu.  Many people aren’t symptomatic that are carriers.  You go out to the mall and if you aren’t conscientious you can get it or give it easily even if not coughing.   If it makes it into a school or a nursing home it will cause some deaths.  If it makes it into a large population it will overwhelm our medical capabilities.  It’s very contagious and very mild for most carriers.  Just take precautions and don’t be cavalier and all will be ok.

Dangerous and ignorant approach.  This virus is a typically mild flu.  Many people aren’t symptomatic that are carriers.  You go out to the store and aren’t conscientious you can get it or give it easily.  If it makes it into a school or a nursing home it will cause some deaths.  If it makes it into a large population it will overwhelm out medical capabilities.  It’s very contagious and very mild for most carriers.  Just take precautions and don’t be cavalier and all will be ok.  

That's part of what makes this dangerous. A lot of people may have what they think is a mild case of cold or flu but what they really have is Covid 19. What caused only a relatively mild illness for them has the potential to cause severe illness in someone else. And right now, we don't have anywhere near the testing capacity to test anyone other than those presenting with very specific symptoms with very obvious links to potential exposure. Not good.

So what you're saying is if we give a press conference, try not to touch everything in sight.  In a way it's poetic justice that Rudy Gober contracted COVID-19.

I was just outside and saw in the distance two helicopters...military. Not a reassuring thing to witness during a massive virus pandemic. Hopefully they're just training in case of the worst. Or do the higher-ups know something we don't?

USA is an individualistic country. Countries that have a greater sense of community and the greater good seem to fare better. Often socialist to some degree. So countries say- that's it, everyone get tested, don't go to work and if you need money for food and lodging we got you. And the people say, alright then. And it blows over more quickly.

Our approach is much different. and way worse. 

This isn't advocating socialism.

      I went to McDonald's at lunch got a combo for $12. It was ok. The next day I ordered lunch from Cracker Barrel got the broccoli cheddar chicken, steak fries, and 2 biscuits paid $12 with tip. Guess which was better.

      I don't think so. I think once you're measuring electronically, the spot is where the sensor says it is. So if it says half yard short of the line to gain, that's the spot. Now how that works with scrums and the ball moving on two minute drills and poo is anybody's guess.
