Like many, I don’t necessarily trust that this thing is 100% legitimate. At times it seems like a worldwide experiment. How much control can be exerted on the world population? Threaten them with a disease and they’ll all fall in line. All the conspiracist stuff, I get it and I live there. I constantly am trying to sort it out.

That said, I also try to look at this as if it’s real. If it truly is real, then it’s incumbent upon me to treat it as a serious threat. People really are getting sick and some are dying. In Ohio, about a third of the reported cases are in the hospital. I have a child with Down Syndrome, and when he gets the flu or whatever, it sucks. He might need hospitalization with this too. So I’m doing my best to make sure he doesn’t get it.

Bottom line for me is like the other things we’ve been through in the USA: extend as much love and compassion as I can to the people I interact with every day. Buy their stuff, help them out. I’m not excellent at it, but I try to help out.

If this is all a big hoax and is being intentionally overblown, I’m too small to fight that on my own. So for me, the best and wisest thing is to treat it like it’s real.
 
So is it all a big hoax then?

President said it was, then backpedaled and now it isn't a hoax. Department of Defense knows it's real: All Army Basic Training has been cancelled until further notice. No new recruits. I would think the gravity of the situation would allow the possibility that maybe the scientists are correct.

Meh, i have no doubt its real. Not sure it warrants they collapse of the economy. Maybe there's more to it not health related, maybe not. As for the Army? The lack of new recruits will workout in the long run. Senior promotions are going to be pushed back a few month also (can't travel to the school house), but retirement is still a go. Should free up some slots, for advancement. Not many, but a few.
 
COVID-19 in perspective

See how many kids die EVERYDAY from bad water and we don’t do anything about it. See how many Chinese people die EVERYDAY from bad air.

COVID-19 is a fiasco created by the irresponsible media circus. It has wiped out billions of dollars of wealth and countless people have lost their jobs because of them.

Your ignorance is astounding. Let's just hope that nobody you care about needs a ventilator that isn't there because some other idiot thought this was no big deal and disregarded what they are told to do.

Yep, a big hoax. Tell it to the thousands of people that died (and are continuing to die) in Europe - or wait a few days here.

Did you bother to do a critical analysis of the links provided?
Please provide details to support your response of “ Your ignorance is astounding”
 
Are you saying this is a hoax?

Because you'll have to inform the Department of Defense.

no, Im saying people are IDIOTS.... the common flu KILLS about 16000 people every year in America and ZERO school closings, NO mass hoarding of TP, etc etc..
The swine flu killed almost what 5000 Americans in 2009 and I dont remember schools being shut down, no one calling the National Gaurd to enforce the 20 people rule at restraunts or movie theaters, now they could have but I just dont remember..
People are idiots with flu like symptoms people are hoarding TP??? really ??? LOL

Every election year, there is some sort of "crisis" coincidence?

Tell that to all the dead and dying in Europe - or just wait a week here.

It is people with opinions like yours that enable the spread of this virus that ultimately kills people. Just pray that it isn't somebody you care about.

You think Governor Cuomo in NY and the other governors are shutting stuff down to get Trump reelected?
 
The common flu has vaccine (unless you are too stupid to get one) and there are anti-viral meds if it is a strain not covered by the vaccine. H1N1 was treatable with anti-virals and much harder to catch. SARS and MERS were localized and of short duration.

This is different and has nothing to do with politics.

People die by the thousands of flue, pneumonia and the common cold every year.

Sooner are later it may well be someone he cares about, or possibly even him, there's already 144 reported cases (with 29 cases just from today, and 30 from Sunday) in Colorado which is one of the top 5 states of number of cases reported.

With 3 kids in grade school, diabetes and asthma, my only choice is to take this virus serious. Living in the silicon valley, which currently has a shelter in place and curfew, and working for a company as a frontline technician which provides essential lifeline services, I must be very vigilant. I dont get to stay home with my family during this lockdown, and I could very well bring the virus home if I'm careless.

10 years ago, when the swine flu pandemic was here, it hit California hard. I was the 2nd person at my company to get it. I was lucky I qualified for the anti-viral Tamiflu, but even though I was taking it, it was the worse virus I feel I have ever been through. I dont want to go through something like that again.

I dont agree with all these people hoarding TP and sanitizer, but I can relate to why some can be afraid of what's happening. Only thing I can do is remain calm, and educate my kids and others to practice good hygiene, even though other individuals aren't doing the same. If washing my hands frequently and covering my cough or sneeze will help slow the spread of the virus or even save a life, then I'm all for it! I'm still surprised on how many people still dont wash their hands after using the restroom.
