    Come on, did you read this part from Souls article

    "As of Feb. 22, in the current season there were at least 32 million cases of flu in the United States, 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 flu deaths, according to the C.D.C. Hospitalization rates among children and young adults this year have been unusually high."

    Mortality rate isn't going to be 2%, it's too early for that kind of talk

    18,000 other flu related deaths in 4 months vs 2 novel Coronavirus deaths in 1 month, and everybody is losing their shit on the later

    ???

    And do I need to mention how many firearm deaths In the US in the last month?

    If he posts his Trump toilet paper meme it's your fault.

    Democrat Colorado now has testing for Coronavirus with results available in 24 hours. It's the best so far. The Republicans are going to be very upset over this.

    Told ya, knew Toilet paper would be the first to go. Was even one of the top stories today

    Will coronavirus panic see us run out of toilet paper?

    '“Oh, my God. Imagine not having any toilet paper. Far out,” Judd said in a video as she stocked up on three packs."

  13. I just think that it's really unfortunate that a deadly flu bug has been spread world wide.
    I also think that it's a bit silly by everyone who is stocking up on all the essentials when really they are just being selfish and horrible towards everyone else that actually needs them.
    I also think that there are some people who are being racist by avoiding people from china. Not every chinese person has the coronavirus people.

    You're right of course but I couldn't help but notice today when an Asian girl began coughing on the inbound train to Boston.
    I rarely move once I've established my position on the train. by journey's end I was positioned as far away from her as possible.

  16. That's unfortunate.
    When i'm in my photography class i make sure that i'm not sitting right next to somebody. Always have to be a seat away from them.
    Not because of their nationality it's because the people tend to drop their guts in the room and i don't like the smell.

    It's far worse than that. Its led to a surge in anti Asian racism. Despite the origin in china and the incorrect assumption it involved bat soup Japanese sushi bars are being vandalized with hate speech. This would be like if a virus originated in Russia suplosedly because of borscht and people retaliated by trashing a Spanish paella joint. It's getting ugly and ignorant out there

  18. Also i'm cautious because my oldest brother is married to a filipino lady. So i don't want to be racist.

    Self-preservation is a powerful force and can often lead us to the wrong conclusions and cause us to do stupid things.

    I agree, I don’t see any connection with Japanese sushi bars and the coronavirus. Maybe they just don’t like Sushi..lol...
