I haven't seen any evidence that people with heart issues are at higher risk--from what we know about the current sample it's usually people with respiratory problems. But I don't deny Americans are unhealthy

Hospitals being overwhelmed is connected to the fatality rate being overhyped though. People are scared. Example of this media bullshyt is blasting alerts like TOM HANKS has Corona. Who gives a fukk? He'll have a cold for a few days and that'll be it. It's all psychological. The running death count is not helping. Not saying this info shouldn't be out there, but my issue is with the way it's being presented. The fact that this virus is coming from a foreign country also plays a huge role IMO

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) - people with heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses are at higher risk, per the CDC.

Hospitals are being overwhelmed in Italy by patients in intensive care, not by people with a cold that are terrified that they have the virus. They literally have a fukking respirator shortage there now and had to adopt draconian quarantine measures just to stem the rate of infection. And granted, yes, there is media hysteria that comes along with this - but it's like this during any (inter)national crisis. Frustration with the way this is being portrayed is no reason to get complacent.

This has every chance of getting worse, especially as the amount of patients that require hospitalization continues to climb. I'd rather look back on this and laugh at how we took it a bit too seriously than regret that we didn't take it seriously enough.

I'm actually a lil disappointed this isn't a post linking the southwestern spread of coronavirus to Mexican cartel smuggling routes.

lol

I can say if the border gets tighter, so will the work, and if this admin directs the closing of the border, because of covid19 it will wreck the drug market.

Be honest with you breh, I don't know what the fukks going on in Italy I don't think that will be us though, especially given the current reaction

i agree to an extent. the media wants views, clicks, retweets. they focus on big names, panic, death rates/deaths, and "skyrocketing infections", but without googling, how many people even know the symptoms of this disease, the "typical" course it runs, the typical down time, and why don't we report survival rates? the framing the media is doing creates hysteria instead of informing

Because the youth are less at risk does not mean they are unable to contract the virus. Also, anyone with chronic medical conditions of any age are at risk, young or old.

Also, children can't run their schools and districts or drive their own buses so I'm all for protecting children from potential high risk adults.

A lot of rumors flying around about NYC now, NYPD Twitter had to deny them.

Are you guys still going out to eat? Getting takeout? When you did, were the people working there wearing masks? (to protect them from different customers who could be carrying the Coronovirus)

I know how to cook so I’m not even interested in eating out especially after hearing this stuff is going around. I’ve recently just passed by a Chinese spot and they don’t look like they’re getting any customers. I feel for them because they have families to feed.
