Its massively overblown.
Remember when we closed down everything because cancer?
Or heart disease?
I don't!
If you ask me this is mass propaganda.
I'd take covid over cancer and heart disease.
I wonder whats next because the housing market and economy is crashing?

I just posted this in the other thread, but I’ll post it here as well.

OPINION: A Few Questions About Whether Italy's COVID-19 Mortality Rate Is Inflated

Please don't post opinion pieces by journalists that have nothing to offer besides speculation. Listen to the experts. Just stay inside- it isn't hard to do, and keep people safe. I had COVID-19 for three full weeks and it was hellish- mine was a mild case. I'm still feeling the effects, and I'm a very healthy and young guy. This isn't going to kill everyone, and it isn't going to destroy the world, but it is debilitating to enough of the population that it will overwhelm hospitals and providers that will not allow for the adequate treatment of people suffering with extreme cases of the disease. More importantly, it will not allow for adequate treatment of much more common and deadly ailments such as heart attacks, diabetic shock, and other pathogenic diseases. This isn't about how deadly or not COVID-19 is as a disease- ultimately, it'll kill less than 1% of the people it infects, but speaking first hand, it can be debilitating for a short while, and there is NO treatment for it. Just stay home, let the virus die out, and let our healthcare providers have the opportunity to help those who have it bad and others who need emergency services.

There are always the few idiots out there who think nothing can touch them. They can carry on as normal. This is not bad at all. Why are people making others do all these things. Is these idiots who end up spreading the virus around. Not here to have a go at anybody. But new laws are in place in every country. They are there for a reason. I am sure people would just like to be getting on with life. Nobody asked for this pandemic. But it is here. It is killing people. Idiots will say only sick people. People who already have certain conditions. No idea how many doctors and nurses have died from this so far. From over exposure to it. The numbers are going up every day. They are putting their lives at risk to try and save other people. Maybe they all have bad immune systems as one person would have us believe. It is not the virus killing them. It is this bad immune system. Yawns. From here it is all about common sense. Something some people don't seem to have.

I gotta chuckle a bit when I see howany average folk have suddenly become medical experts and spouting forth opinions based on what they heard or read.

I admit to knowing jack **** about this virus and what's more, I don't want to know because there ain't nowt I can do about it.

I just done what I should of done weeks ago and cut myself offa media, or more precisely, cut media offa me. I don't got a TV so half the problem solved. All I got is my lil ole Android which was driving me nuts with news feeds but I learnt how to stop them and also stop news appearing on browser. Far easier than I imagined.

I ain't telling anyone what to do but if I was a HA sufferers I would definitely not want to be reading this forum.

No, I don't remember that. Then again, I also don't remember when cancer and heart disease were rampantly contagious. Did I miss something?

There’s a whole lot of skepticism about how much death there would or wouldn’t be. Obviously more than what we saw, but there’s three sides to every story in everything. The media has created mass panic over this, and that has both helped, and hurt the country.

A lot people are losing their jobs because of the social distancing. It could lead to a prolonged worldwide depression. But when you look at hospitals in NY and Italy you can see that's it's not a hoax. But it's a strange virus - half of people who get it have no symptoms at all. With antibody testing we could let many people out of the quarantine and isolate only the high risk people - smokers, obese and elderly.

a girl i graduated with is an er doctor in ny and she was recently on facebook balling about how it's like a war zone. plus, you know, mass graves in new york, shortages of body bags, and refrigerated semi trailer trucks to store corpses, but yeah, guys... this is super overblown.

seriously, ya'll aren't virologists, epidemiologists, scientists or doctors of any kind. there are so many reasons beyond fatality that make this dangerous.

i don't generally come hard an anyone on this board because this typically isn't the place for it but this is NOT being overblown, it IS dangerous for many reasons and social distancing IS PROVEN to help slow the spread of disease while, simultaneously, it IS PROVEN that relaxing social distancing measures too early caused additional waves of disease that were worse than the first.

NYC got way out of control because so many people travel there. That doesn't mean people in rural areas need to take social distancing to the extreme. In Sweden they are not doing extreme social distancing and the economy is intact. They must have their own virologists and epidemiologists.

Swedish model on crisis response will be tested over next few weeks

The nation has been criticized over this more relaxed culture.

thehill.com

Anders Tegnell, the top epidemiologist in Sweden, has also spoken about the public health costs of closing schools on children and on their parents’ ability to continue to work. He also believes that Sweden’s current policies could stay in place for years without significant harm to businesses or the general economy.

Agreed. The very fact that practically every country has similar protocols should, and should is the operative word stop people especially here in the US from blaming the media. If it’s a media or political hoax, wow it’s been so wildly successful that 90% of the world fell for it.
