    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I'm just going by what we've seen in the past week here in the USA.. Every day, the number of infected is 30% higher (or more) than the previous day. Here, lets do an experiment... current infections in the USA are at 327 (per worldometer at this moment). By tomorrow at this time, it...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Well now you said something I can mostly agree with.. They've cried wolf too many times and now the townsfolk are skeptical. Unfortunately, most Americans know as much about science as they know about 5000 year old Egyptian cuisine.. so they are incapable of recognizing the difference...

    So far, the number of confirmed cases is rising 30 to 40 percent over the previous days numbers... So take the number of infected today, multiply by 1.3, and that's the number that will be infected in tomorrows totals. Now do that 30 times (1 month) and watch the numbers. Then multiply by 3.4%...

    Arguing with a website forum administrator is like arguing with a cop.. Nothing productive will come from it. I wish you good luck and hope you stay safe.

    Rationalization Number 1) The PhD Epidemiologist(s) from Harvard with decades of experience seem to think its pretty serious. China shut down their entire country costing them billions.. they thought it was pretty serious as well. Rationalization Number 2) Lets listen to an orange guy who...

    You can get FAR more than 2 years out of them if you refrigerate or freeze them in the absence of oxygen. Two ways: 1) Put them in a Mylar bag, throw in an oxygen absober, and stick them in your freezer. 2) Put them in a Mason Jar, pull a vacuum on the jar and stick it in your freezer. You...

    That Timiflu works like a magic button. My wife got sick two weeks ago, for three days we were fighting a 103+ fever and she finally got tired of it and went to the doctors office. They tested her and said it was Influenza B. Gave her Tamiflu pills, she was feeling better within 12 hours...

    I think your numbers are conservative, but we can roll with that.... Now imagine COVID19 coming back year after year like influenza.. That's not just 3.3 million deaths, that's 3.3 million year after year for the USA alone. Our health care is going to have to be socialized in order to...

    My wife went down to the city to Sam's club the other day and they were sold out of everything cleaning related. No bleach, no toilet paper, no alcohol, etc. Told my buddy about it and he went to a different Sam's club 50 miles away and found it stocked full. Seems to be hit and miss for now.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    So let me get this straight.. You all think they created a bioweapon that only kills 2-6% of people who happen to already be in bad health and they released it upon themselves knowing full well they'd have to shut down their country and suffer billions $$ in losses? Sometimes I have difficulty...

    As the number of dead start to climb, people will shift to taking more precautions.. It won't be long before we start seeing fear and paranoia causing ridiculously comical precautionary measures. I'm sure the media will be highlighting them soon. Eventually, some quack job nut case...

    Cool.. I understand. I was just using you to conducting my own sociological experiment to see how others rationalize their own actions and behaviors. Thank you for your cooperation. And let me know what that meter does when you price gouge those items. Unfortunately, for most who own such...

    Or he was just messing with you.. a lot of that going on as well. Our society has evolved in the past 30 years to not only accept, but to idolize trickery, falsehoods, and any action that can induce stress or an emotional reaction in others. Its the new entertainment mode.

    Hence the reason I've been saying for years.... Ebay screwed everyone when they allowed people to list stuff for free. Originally, EBAY would charge listing fees based on the opening price of the item.. Ebay was wonderful back then, you could easily find what you were looking for, search...

    People reporting they have the flu doesn't work either. Yesterday, Monday March 2, we got a letter from our child's school informing us that another child in the school was infected with influenza.. The letter was dated Feb 20. EDIT: Fixed date of letter..

    Went to Sam's Club this evening. They are out of almost everything relating to cleaning supplies. No hand sanitizer, no bleach, no vinegar and no toilet paper.. Anything that can be used as a disinfectant is gone. Good thing our list didn't include any of that stuff, we were just there for the...

    In the USA, we call these types "conspiracy theorists".. and we have a lot of them as well as hundreds (thousands?) of websites supporting their delusions. There's even one in the White House.
