When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.WestlinnDuck said:You don't have to drive. It's a decision that may result in you dying. It's exactly the same. One thing we can predict is the economic misery that 4 weeks of closure will cost. You don't need to shut the whole phu*cking thing down. Play the numbers. People over 65 should be the ones that should be self-quarantining or sheltering in place. But, dealing with reality isn't something that bureaucrats do very well. If everybody suffers, then nobody suffers is like a mantra with these people.
Lock down retirement and nursing homes. Anyone over 65 stay home. People would rush help to them. Government, charity and churches would fall all over themselves to help the elderly. Rather than carpet bomb the economy, put resources where they make the most impact. The elderly and immune compromised should be cared for and they need to be responsible for themselves as well. Closing the fucking GM plant in Detroit is way overboard.
And be forced to use sign language and handwritten signs in order to communicate with them?

Chinned for old fashioned cherry talk. Post mor on my bored.WestlinnDuck said:Just got back from the liquor store. Forgot the Bordeaux cherries for the Old Fashioneds. We have really great data points from the cruise ship and South Korea. The data points tell us this isn't the Andromeda Strain. It tell us that this is really only a threat to old people, particularly those with compromised lung or immune systems beyond just being old - like smokers or cancer survivors. Like I said, use the numbers. We have them. The other thing after this is over, get the phuck out of China. Trump was the visionary on what the chicoms were doing to this country aided and abetted by the dems, the RINOs, and the MSM. The dem candidate for President will be owned by the chicoms. Trump will tie that tire chain around Slo Joe's neck and set it on fire. The MSM and the leftards will whine like little bitches, but the truth should win out. Anyone that supported putting the chicoms in charge of our pharmaceuticals should be disqualified from office and government employment. But both Inslee and the switch hitter Brown (god I pity either sex that touches that worthless bag of crap) will just refocus on phucking over working Americans rather than the chicoms.
I’m 100% on agreement with you on China and our medical equipment and medicines. Fuck that. We need to get that production back to N America.
Imagine relying upon the USSR to make our antibiotics. -
What @MikeDamone said. And then this:MikeDamone said:
It’s that we have an acceptable risk tolerance baked into everything. Driving, flu, swimming in the ocean, etc. We could reduce flu deaths and cases dramatically. We could reduce car deaths dramatically. In our minds we don’t believe the cost of what it would reduce flu deaths or automobile deaths is worth the lose of economic activity and freedom. H1N1 infected 66 million, killed 12-15,000 and we didn’t miss a beat. As with most government responses to panic, I’m sure this will be another on the pile where the cure was worse than the disease. I don’t know for sure, but in the history of my life it’s played out over and over. “But THIS time it’s different” I guess we’ll see, but in my lifetime all I’ve seen from the media and government is bullshit and their track record is terrible.YellowSnow said:
Automobile accidents are not contagious disease. Fucking Christ.WestlinnDuck said:Who said it's like the flu? It's interesting the total lack of interest in dealing with the chicoms on this issue. Most likely escaped from the Wuhan bio lab. The chicoms covered up the initial outbreak. But apparently, it's a Tug PhD problem. The Italians who are bought and paid for by the Chicoms and refused to deal with the influx of Chinese into northern Italy. The Tug PhDs fully supported Trump's ban on Chinese entering the US. We have also heavily criticized the CDCs supposedly elite MDs who phu*cked up the testing and also apparently left our national hospital system woefully unprepared for a pandemic with a growing shortage of masks, hazard gear and ventilators. In 1952 there were 21,000 cases of paralytic polio. The nation didn't shut down. There are 3,000 motor vehicle deaths in the US a month. Ban cars? Crippling the national economy and destroying hundreds of thousands of small businesses leaving millions unemployed does have consequences.
Of course Italy is more vulnerable to us for a variety of factors, love of Chi Com tourism dollars among them. But still it’s overwhelming there system in the way that flu doesn’t not, which is what we’re trying to prevent here.
I don’t know if if the economic misery will have been worth it or not. I’m leaning towards not being worth it.
But anyone here who thinks they can predict how this all plays out is full of shit.

Which is the ONLY reason The Throbber is willing to wait 2 to 3 weeks (no more) before determining whether THIS time IS different. Gather the data, assess the acceptability of it, rock on. Don't freak out next time this shit shows up. In the meantime increased preparedness. And quit eat bats, you fucking commies. Christ.

Of course the economic misery isn't worth granny and her 5 prexisting conditions or fat Bob and his 40 year smoking habit.
And I work in an industry that is seeing growth because of this.
You have a 2 year old. I have a 2 month old. You've been a massive fucking pussy the past couple days. Go dig into that mountain of tp in your apartment and tide the pants shitting buddy. -
It's a threat to kill old people and people with already compromised immune systems. But it is still hospitalizing a significant number of younger adults.WestlinnDuck said:Just got back from the liquor store. Forgot the Bordeaux cherries for the Old Fashioneds.

Up to 20% of people hospitalized with coronavirus in the United States are young adults between ages 20 to 44, a new federal study shows.
While the risk of dying was significantly higher in older people, the report issued Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows younger people are making up a big portion of hospitalizations.

There are almost always underlying health issues and or weakened respiratory conditions due to smoking.
