In time there will be a vaccine for the wuhan virusNo we aren't approaching 2000 deaths a dayWhen will we start working on the high number of the common flu deaths?Do these people think letting the economy crash will have no negative impact or cost lives just curious if they consider that. It's rather sad that we have become such an either or society and that we now believe we can't try and accomplish both keeping people safe and saving the economy.
Yes, no focus on slowing the curve. Because as we've been advised by an Orange Turd, MILLIONS would be committing suicide!
And this happens every year
There is a vaccine every year that people can take to prevent flu death. Sadly only 50% of the population gets the flu shot. If everyone got the flu shot, you could cut seasonal flu deaths by 90%.
The season flu only kills an average of 200 people a day and is easily preventable with the vaccine every year. Right now, we are approaching 2,000 deaths per day, ten times that of season flu with half of the deaths occurring in New York State and New Jersey. Thats why dead bodies are being stacked up outside hospitals in New York City as we discuss this.
FYI people die with the common flu
THE SKY IS FALLING
1,340 Americans died on Saturday from covid-19 and those are just the ones who were CONFIRMED to have covid-19. The actual death toll is larger than that.
Seasonal flu only kills 200 people a day and it can largely be prevented with the flu vaccine. Unfortunately only 50% of the population gets the flu vaccine.
but I fear not soon enough to save the US economy
we have to go back to work virus or no virus
The United States has not stopped working. Essential services are doing increased business. Its the job of people in the non-essential economy to stay at home so as not to aid the pathogen the country must defeat. If we can send 1/3 of the labor force overseas in the early 1940s to fight the Nazi's and the Japs, we can keep a large part of the workforce at home in order to fight this pathogen.
As far as needs, you need food, water, shelter, clothing and healthcare. Until you run out of that, you can stay in your home. Staying home is your work now.
