RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 03-12-2020 (03-12-2020, 04:48 PM)psychdoctor Wrote: Swine flu killed 10,000 American citizens which started in 2009. 38 deaths due to Covid-19 thus far in USA. Yeah, exactly. This is being overblown by the media. Is it serious? Of course it is, especially for the old people who smoke. But the media has been trying to spread a panic, I think many should be ashamed of themselves. Especially the experts who go on TV and say that the mortality rate is 10 times worse then the flu, blatant lies.

Of course it is, especially for the old people who smoke. But I think the argument to this is that right now it isn't a "big deal" because we aren't packing thousands of people into tight quarters and making it worse. Honestly, I haven't paid attention to what is being said about the thing or if experts are lying about it. I hear word that people are dying of it and steps to avoid spreading it have been suggested and sometimes taken. The media panic doesn't really apply to this situation, unless we think Rodger Godell saw some expert lying about it on the news and decided to pull the plug on the NFL season on that hunch alone.

What about the guy who just last week said we only had fifteen cases in the United States and it would quickly drop to zero? Some people may be spreading blatant lies to create a panic while others are spreading blatant lies to protect their own self interest. If you want to keep pushing your agenda take it to P&R.

This still doesn't explain why professional sports leagues are closing up shop and losing money. The NBA, MLB, MLS and NHL and aspects of the NFL are shutting down and losing millions because they want to distract me from the economy and get "clicks?" RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - Synric - 03-12-2020 Billion dollar industries are shutting down operations and losing money. Now states are starting to close public schools including Ohio...This hasn't happened in the US since the 1918 Spanish Flu. RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - Kingslayer - 03-12-2020 Ohio public schools now closed for 3 weeks starting Monday RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - psychdoctor - 03-12-2020 Here are some interesting stats... Deaths per year: due to auto-erotic asphyxiation...1,000 due to vending machines...13 due to falling TVs..............40 due to hot air balloons........70 due to obesity.....................3 million world-wide due to carbon monoxide .......430 in USA due to heat exposure............658 due to ETOH poison...............2,011 due to running stop signs leading to vehicle deaths...13,627 due to Malaria.......................1 million due to mosquitoes....................1 million RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - sandwedge - 03-12-2020 (03-12-2020, 01:00 PM)Wes Mantooth Wrote: Look, before this thread goes completely off the rails, or is dismissed due to perceived over-reaction keep in mind it is a real issue that will affect the coming weeks.Oh yeah!

Most sporting events already have the money and will still make money without fans.

Then it is a good thing we are not screwing up our response to Covid-19 like we did with swine flu, right?

They'd make more with the fans in the seats buying tickets and beer and overpriced nachos.

It won't hurt as bad as it would when my 4 year old gets sick, and spreads it to my elderly father. |
