[Sparko]

Once COVID-19 hit the streets of LA and San Francisco it will spread like a wildfire because of all of the homeless camps and filthy conditions.

Ain't that the truth...

You're not lying about that, bro. Skidrow will probably be ground for mass hysteria when it reaches LA.

Good news is that the belief it could last on surfaces for up to 9 days seems to have been overstated. Bad news is this...

Dr. Alan Berger is the one who spread at CPAC. 21st century typhoid Mary.

The bigger problem are the large number of people, around 50%, that live pay-check to pay-check, and lack an emergency fund and must work because they don't have sick days as part of their contract - who will continue to work even if they are ill. Many also lack access to healthcare because they can't afford the excess - so will die or create emergency room overload.

The problem for us is that if it gets out of control in the US, which it probably will because of your awful system, you're going to export the problem, like you export your terrible filth of a culture.

It's already spreading like wildfire, it's a pandemic. But, what do you suggest we do with the homeless?

[JimL]

So you're an existential nihilist?

Yes, I believe that like every other creature on earth, when humans die, they no longer exist.

Round them up and quarantine them in camps with medical supervision.

[JimL]

Well, not to you obviously, which is why we created god.


That was a fictional character in Dostoyevsky's novel, "The Brothers Karamazov," not Dostoyevsky.

Zara proving once again that you can't fix stupid.

Spreading like wildfire? Not even in your dreams JimL. From the CDC website:

COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance*

• Total cases: 423
• Total deaths: 19
• States reporting cases: 35 (includes District of Columbia)

* Data include both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020, with the exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China and Japan. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.

Meanwhile, According to the CDC, the Flu has sickened over 34 million and killed 20,000:

CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 34 million flu illnesses, 350,000 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths from flu.

You people need to get a grip....

Thats simply the cases tested and confirmed, it was found to be in 17 states a few days ago, now 35. Not much testing going on. Btw, there are now over 670 confirmed cases in the U.S, not 423.

It has already spread worldwide in a short time. Btw, Covid-19 is spreading much faster than SARS did.

The flu has been around for a long time, Covid-19 is very new and spreading fast.

You people need to get a grip....

Well, it's your opinion that it isn't spreading fast because you are comparing it with the flu. How fast did Covid-19 spread in Wuhan since the first diagnosed case in December?

[Mountain Man]

Yes, I believe that like every other creature on earth, when humans die, they no longer exist.

And once you accept that premise, you must necessarily accept that what we do while we're alive really doesn't matter. It makes no difference if we live like Mother Theresa or Hillary Clinton, the universe will end exactly the same.
