You have to make an assumption about the severity of some schools closing for a time and the unstated affects on public transportation to even come close to thinking its “insane”. But in the clip he gives an example of what he is referring to with schools being closed for a couple of days, so that gives a baseline for what he is talking about. And given what we’ve seen with containment efforts so far, ‘a few days’ looks like a rather naive prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it's just...well I can't even put it into words. Your on fucking TV talking about going through the quarantine and he's got his kid while coughing on them and touching the shit that's in their mouth and then drinking their water. You shouldn't be doing that even with a simple cold. His a fucking moron, it looks extremely bad. Like have some common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but his entire premise here is that Covid doesn’t seem to be as harmful as other viruses we’ve dealt with and so the response doesn’t necessarily have to be as strong as things like SARS or MERS. But the situation is developing and the facts could certainly change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of years ago when i posted an article on facebook about a poll where a large number of respondents said they should have warnings on their food to tell them that it contained DNA and mocked those people and my Aunt responds all pissed off that people should know whats in their food, lol.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that showing nonchalance toward such unknowns - especially when thousands of lives could be at risk - can be categorized as ‘insane’. I’m at work so I haven’t watched the actual clip, but everything I’ve read about his appearance indicates he was completely blasé, and that doesn’t seem sane in light of a potential pandemic with a potential 2% mortality rate.

I would say he acted appropriately and wasn’t downplaying or up-playing it either way, he was comparing it to other notable viruses (the annual flu, Ebola, SARS, and MERS) to give people a sense of how to evaluate the situation as we currently understand it.

PaladinSolo Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 The thing that makes this worse than SARS and MERS is that its not primarily being spread in hospitals, those weren't as contagious so its spread was largely clustered in healthcare facilities, this virus is spreading through populations simply by close contact like the flu or the common cold. Basically despite having a lower mortality rate than SARS which was 9.6%, its already killed 3 times as many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 So the second non travel patient in CA had no contact with any known infected person, and until Wed. CA was one of like 6 state labs that could even test for the virus, and NY is reporting the tests they received are giving false positives.

CitizenVectron Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Quote "At this point, the hospital called the CDC requesting permission to perform the COVID-19 testing. The CDC denied the request on the ground that I did not have the most life-threatening symptoms: chest pain and shortness of breath. According to everything I read it's very likely not to have these symptoms if you're in your 30's and relatively healthy. And... that was that. They discharged me, said I don't have Corona virus, since they didn't test me for it, and said I can ride the subway, return to work, do whatever I want."
