Turn off the Fox Noise and you will feel better in 14 days
I think you meant CNN.
Not way overblown, just way misunderstood. Plus knee-jerk reactions by the politicians don't really help. Most actions seem to be poorly thought out
Yup. Take MA for example-413 cases in a population of 6 million. Do the math and it's a .00001 infection rate. Keep in mind that 1% is .01. They have had one death, so it's a .0024 death rate. NH has 1.35 million people with 55 cases, an infection rate of .00004. No deaths yet. Will the percentages be higher in more densely populated areas? Yup, but that's the nature of the beast. It's just logical that if you have more people closer together ANY communicable disease will spread faster. Italy has the third oldest population in the world plus they live on top of each other. This type of thing plus issues like the the nursing home in Washington State skew the data. What's NOT logical is the braniacs in thestate of MA decided to cut hours on the MBTA, thereby making the trains more crowded. There are many people who rely on the T who still have to work, no matter what.
All along it's been said that most people will be fine. I'm not sure what part of that people don't understand. Just crazy. But the fact of the matter is if you're over 80, and in poor health, and you catch the virus, your chances are not good. So common sense would tell people to stay away from hospitals, nursing homes, and places where there are lots of old people.
And stay home if you don't feel well, which of course is the hardest thing to do. These are things you should be doing during the regular flu season and no one does anyway. People who are sick go to work because there is no money coming in if you don't go to work.
Your absolute COMMON SENSE scares me LOL! If you are paranoid or at risk stay home. Otherwise, be practical.
