Our immune systems are built to handle the flu.  Coronavirus is completely new virus which catches immune system by surprise.  The virus is extremely tricky and tricks immune system into attacking itself.  It takes immune system over a week to figure out the virus and begin to destroy it. Unfortunately, only healthy people have strong enough immune system to last over a week.

That kind of talk comes only from a very ignorant person.  You sir are an asshole.

So that's why young athletes have no clue they have it...test positive...never really experience anything...and then its gone?

This thing sucks.  But people are also trying to make this into something its not.  The data is overwhelming at this point.

So we are now shutting down society because someone gets sick?  I don't think that was the original aim.

Deaths are what we were trying to avoid.  If all of a sudden we are trying to keep the world from getting sick, then we have veered waaay off the path.  As with any virus or flu, people are SUPPOSED to get sick.  We knew this from the bits and pcs we got from China in early Feb, and all we know from centuries of dealing with the flu and virus infections.  We knew who it was going to affect, and it did just that.

More stuff is opening up every day. Exactly what has been "shut down"?

Aroung 80% of infected only stay in stage 1.  20% go into stage 2 and 5% go into stage 3 which is likely means death.  Immune system becomes weak in sick and old people which causes to go from stage 1 to stage 2.  Stage 3 immune system goes crazy and attacks own body causing organ failure.

I think you missed my point.

We have been shutting down society for the last couple months, NOT on the basis that people might get sick, which seemed to be your statement.  But that people would die, is what we were told.

Which of you assholes already attended one?

The equivalent to the population of Asheville has died so far despite massive mitigation efforts.

Never said it was the Flu. How am I ignorant? You do realize I work in a hospital right? I've seen sick people, I know what this Virus can do. The Virus basically solidifies your lungs, and blocks your airways. However, I also now the ramifications of the country being shut down. People build houses on the beach, when Hurricanes can destroy their homes. It is the same with the Virus.

Your compares are crazy.  No, building houses on the beach is not like global pandemic.  People chose to buy a house on the beach, people do not choose to get COVID19.

I think he is saying that people do things everyday of their lives that could actually be dangerous.

[stirs]

So it looks like China has a vaccine now that they want to "sell" to the world.

I think I can find about 100 things wrong with this and am not sure the world would want to buy this from China, could be wrong.

I never said they Chose to get COVID, it was saying that people already know the risk. They moved on. They still build, in same location, after a disaster. When the Flu was discovered, they eventually moved on. Flu was Discovered in 1918, Vaccine wasn't approved until 1946. Of Course, in 1918, lots of people died, do you think they social distance until 1946? No, they closed schools and social distanced, like we are doing. However, they moved on eventually. Do you not think with our technology and medical advancements and hygiene, that we drastically reduced the infection rate already? I believe so.
