Until recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the annual mortality burden of influenza to be 250 000 to 500 000 all-cause deaths globally; however, a 2017 study indicated a substantially higher mortality burden, at 290 000-650 000 influenza-associated deaths from respiratory causes alone, and a 2019 study estimated 99 000-200 000 deaths from lower respiratory tract infections directly caused by influenza.

So half a million people die from influenza each year... well thats consistent with corona stats...

Just talking the US but the point is clear that anyone of us can and will be next if we don't continue lockdown

It could just be a seasonal cold, but imo worth getting tested. Any fever so far?
Good luck getting tested for COVID-19. The criteria is unrealistic because of test supplies and man power.

Nurse here. There are not enough tests to test just anybody. If you are sick, stay home. If complications arise, call your Doctor. Do NOT go to the ER, (unless it's an EMERGENCY) walk-in or you Drs office hoping to get tested. You are putting other sick people and our Drs and nurses at risk, and additionally you are likely wasting valuavle PPE that we do not have enough of. If you have symptoms but have not traveled, been exposed to someone with a confirmed case, and are not having serious complications, or do not have a job where you are likely to expose others, especially at-risk people (such as working in a nursing home) stay home. No point in getting tested, just stay home. There is nothing anybody can do for you unless serious complications arrive.

The threads like this will continue until the government is done signing over all of our rights. After we are forced to take our dole, then public discourse and real time information will be outlawed.. Only what they want you to see.

So you think this is about the govt "signing away all of our rights"?
What after that? They leave is in our homes with nowhere to go?
WTF kind of sense does that make? How does that help anyone?
I think maybe you're just acting like an ass but maybe you're the type that's gonna keep spreading it around and making it worse than it has to be
Please clarify...

Are you excited about and willing to take the 1k or whatever is offered? Will you even look into or even wonder what the fine print in the hundreds of pages of fine print. Are you even worried the stimulus was passed 90-0 or whatever crazy number it was? Seems fishy. 30 people a day die just from drunk drivers. Well in the past.
No one cared. We are barely even scratching that death rate in the US. With covid. I don’t get it.

The current currencies will no longer be of real value. The value of currencies will tank. Some other form of exchange has been passed and the plebes have no idea. We are going to accept\demand the lower valued currencies, and base our time and lives trying to pay “ourselves” back. When in reality we passed the last bit of wealth to the top.
The ultra rich are vacuuming the last bit of our reserves. Wonder why nothing is being said about or attempting to stop a run on the banks? Because the money is already fake and worthless. They are just ensuring the population pulls out the last bit of wealth they have to “survive” this “pandemic”.

You’re the one being a self absorbed ass and valuing being able to go outside more then stopping a global pandemic that will not stop infecting and killing until we lock down for large periods of time (as brutally demonstrated in Italy) . Jobs to go back to will be a moot point if you’re dead or your customers are dead, it’s simple really. Also we aren’t signing away our rights for a stay at home order that’s a bunch of bullshit. Yes they NEED to lock us in our homes for the most part except for food meds and other essentials. As someone who knows the science behind it I’m very glad most states are in lockdown to start the process of this disease playing out.
Yes for once in your life to help the entire country and all your loved ones be safe, you need to man up and stay home like the rest of us. This is very much like a terroist type event except we don’t know where all the wounded are, where the shots are coming from or how to get out.
This is a war and the only things us as Americans and across the world are asked to do to get this over with as soon as possible is stay the fuck home, wash your hands and keep your distance. Also while you may not be infected yet or your family there’s over 1,200 deaths just in the us 1,200 families who now deal with unimaginable pain and 85k+ cases across the nation and RAPIDLY escalating. If you knew ANYTHING at all behind the medical science in this you wouldn’t be be asking “wtf kind of sense does does that make?How does this help anyone?”Finally if any attitude will be our downfall it’s minimizing what we need to do to get through this

overblow overhyped conspiracy!!! corona-lies
i just wonder who pushed the button on this, this is so obvious given event 201 and other coincidences, wuhan virus lab, i mean cmon
I even got sick and recovered and had all the symptoms, its just a cold
when they say 90% percent people have mild symptoms, why crash the whole world????
common man is such a fool!!! 
I'm glad Cannabis was deemed essential and I still have to go up the damn mountain to start the growing season next week. That way you get to keep smoking and making paranoid posts to entertain us. 
Nice weather you have in Cali. I couldn't put clones in the ground till May 10-15.

this just another 911 type event, cmon 150,000 of us die each day, world doesn't stop for that ...
fuck this im going out for a walk , i wanna get this virus, and create vlog and tell the fkers this virus is shyte
I do agree that it's a 9/11 type event, where 3500 people died and nearly everyone suffered economically for a long time. But this will have a much higher death toll, and nobody knows what it will be.
But we do have a good idea of what each week of business closings will have, and this is going to be bad. There are no easy answers.

I've always questioned authority, and I will never trust it. And I can totally see how people are convinced by the various conspiracies these days, BUT...
The way things were before all this, "they" had this nation running pretty damn good. We were basically all willingly exploiting ourselves for the illusion of the pursuit of happiness. So why mess that up by turning into some lockdown state that strips us of our rights?
To me, it seems much more efficient to have a people that want to be enslaved rather than a people who are forced to be enslaved.

Yes you don’t get it. Some people are just not mentally capable of understanding exponential growth. You are one of them. You should probably leave this discussion to people with the faculties to understand what they are talking about.
