Post Coronavirus Covid-19
What are your thoughts? Media blowing it out of proportion? Is it left wing controlled media doing it to sabotage the stock market since the dems couldn’t impeach Trump? Is it the banks spreading fear so that they stand to gain from the FED lowering interest rates? What other tin foil hat or no hat thoughts do you have?

Personally, Coronavirus has been around since 2002. Found it written on the back of a Lysol can printed in 2017. So, it’s not something new. Why all the hype and hysteria about it, now??

Covid 19 is basically Sars 2. It's not the same strain as before. Lysol does kill viruses. If it goes unchecked, it's not a good thing. If people just treat it like the flu, then it'll spread and get ugly, and there's no functional vaccine readily available yet. If everyone washes their hands and doesnt sneeze and cough on everyone else, then it ought not get too bad. It is just a virus, after all.

Bought some stocks on the cheap, took a good hit on the ones I already had. I hate how everything gets hyped up and sensationalized now. I made sure we have enough bullshit food to last 2 weeks without going to the store in case there is a quarantine. It’ll be good to have for hurricane season anyways. If you have employees that are sick, make sure they stay home. If your a small business, cross train employees so the show can still go on if one person gets sick, etc.

So this coronavirus puts everyone in a frenzy, stock market crashes and the Democrats use that to say Trump is not performing. They try to steal the election then all of a sudden the virus is gone, economy back up and the democrats claim they did it.
It’s the same story every election year just a different virus.

It's all BS. People scared over nothing. thousands of people die every year from the Flu, as you posted, Blue. No one bats an eye. 30 OLD people die from this BS and everyone is hysterical.

the symptoms are even less severe than the flu.

this happens every election year.
It was Zika, Ebola, West Nile, etc...

It'll never stop.

BUY LOW!

Post Re: Coronavirus Covid-19
So here's my take
The thing that makes covid19 so dangerous is its gestation period.
It's also got the potential to spread globally and reach areas that have no ability to properly fight it (*cough* Iran).

4k people dead with only 104k being infected? Those arent great numbers.

The dangerous thing? The media's take on it.
This is one of the reasons why the economy is suffering as bad as it is right now. Media needs to stop creating unnecessary panic over it.

I hope this virus doesnt mutate to the point of being able to withstand bitter cold and extreme heat environments. You'll see the "epidemic" term start to get thrown around a lot if it does.

Shitty situation all around.

Wash your hands people.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue and federal tax dollars are already loss because of this. It’s going to be hard to recover from.

I’m not gathering resources or buying extra things at the store. If things get that bad and society starts freaking out, I’m going to take resources from the people who already gathered them for me lol

Post Re: Coronavirus Covid-19
I'm treating it like a storm or flood. Already have enough stuff in the pantry or cabinets I can stay at the house for a while and not have to worry about things. I don't care to be sick for any reason, so why set myself up to have to go somewhere people are coughing all over and I pick up a virus? I'm not prepping for doomsday, and I'm not stocking up for the utter breakdown of society. It's called logic and reason. If you dont have to expose yourself to it, why would you? It's not a thing where I'm at right now, but if it does show up, I don't have to be exposed.

Can ANYONE here say they KNOW someone with the virus?

I mean, literally know the person personally by name.

On a serious and positive note:

GREFFEX INC - a local Houston company has a vaccine ready for animal testing

if all were to go well it could potentially be ready for public use late this year

this same company has a MERS vaccine and has a platform that can create

a "candidate" vaccine in 4 weeks...

Covid-19 is a type of coronavirus (as is SARS and MERS). No surprise that Lysol kills it (seehttps://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus)

"Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans."

compared to the seasonal flu, it it 10x more lethal (you need to look at the RATE of fatality NOT the absolute numbers).

No I don't know anyone that has it, but I also don't personally know anyone that was in Katrina. That doesn't make it a hoax.

I get it, and i understand, and i seriously doubt it will either. I do think youre missing my point though. Youre a young fellow i take it? This is a good lesson that shit happens suddenly! Start "prepping", "stockpiling", whatever you want to call it, now. That way your family's survival isnt dependent on your ability to pillage another family thats gonna fight just as hard as you to protect their family/stuff. You love your family, so why would you want put them, or yourself in harms way because you werent prepared.

I get what you are saying. Maybe my point is being taken the wrong way. I’m talking about if things get to the point of “a purge” or something similar to that extreme. Everyone one here is like minded and I’m sure we would all stick together. As far as preparing with me family, yes, that has been done, but I’m talking about just the major extreme. In those cases, good people would all be together anyway and the ones getting stockpiles taken would be your liberals, aka your sheep. I don’t think my point was explained clearly. Everyone on here is on the same page, I’m sure we would all have the same mentality if it got to that point, but we wouldn’t be preying on each other or on good people
