I got texts from my friend at the CDC today. He said some of his colleagues are expecting 55-65% of the world population gets it this year or next year. At a 1% mortality rate that is still a lot of people. He said he wasn’t panicking but that they all think it’s going to be a big deal.

He also predicted it would impact the election this year. He’s not an alarmist guy and he’s the smartest friend I have.

Your friends and their cohort's mathematical models are way off base or you lying your ass off about a friend at the CDC.

I call utter bullshyt!

So the CDC that hasn't declared the coronavirus a pandemic has a mathematical model that says best case 43 million will die worst case or best case 51 million people die. Your friend who has access to this data is the same data that people way higher up the food chains have access to but yet haven't called a pandemic because they want to see how this plays out. Also, it's not like everyone up and down the command chain doesn't have access to the same mathematical model.
.
So wait you're saying the WHO and CDC are what playing it close to the heart?

Stop with the sensationalism!

Lmao y’all overreacting like a MF. I mean the economic effects I can understand but otherwise this is literally just another kind of flu that will overwhelmingly kill really old ppl with already compromised immune systems.
What y’all don’t understand when you say “it’s just another flu” is that would be fukked up.

We don’t need another flu. Yes most people survive getting it, but it’s a very infectious and deadly disease.

In some ways “just another flu” is worst case scenario. Hopefully it just runs it’s course and goes away.

Ya'll need to calm down.

Unless you're a 90 year old Chinese peasant you're unlikely to die from this.

It's basically the flu. Millions of people die from that every year too but ya'll ain't scared of that?

I'm not saying it's not serious. But I'm seeing people shook like if they get it it's like getting the black plague or some shyt.

And the sensationalist reporting of this is just creating an unncessary panic and is gonna put extra demands on healthcare around the world when people start freaking out over having a sore throat.

I can’t search this thread...the hell SF calling for a state of emergency for? That seems unnecessary and just trying to stir up more panic

The idea is to prepare ppl for the disruption that may be necessary to curtail the spread (increased teleworking, cancelling of large gatherings, travel restrictions, possible quarantines) a city/state needs additional resources to do that and I feel the public deserves to know if those things are a consideration.

We don’t know enough about the virus nor do we have the science developed yet to efficiently fight it medically so we’d essentially be at its whim if mutates or has a case mortality rate consistent with what we’ve been seeing. It makes zero sense to take that chance when actual lives could potentially be a stake. If I were the mayor of a city, I would strongly consider doing the same.

No one has said anything about it. That's why cnn and everyone else isn't reporting what the symptoms are and how to treat it. No information is being shared.
