Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

For fuck sakes, will one of you smarts convince me otherwise? Corona just a bunch-a-shit. Imagine

this much FREE PUB for the flu and pneumonia? Cool little graphs on our screens giving us updates like it's the fucking NCAA tourney? Freaking the fuck out over every single flu/pneumonia death and going full blown ape shit when someone YOUNG sells the couch.

I say flu and pneumonia got this rather easily, say 59K to 2.2K.

    I just don't care about it. Open up th economy on April 12 like Trump is eyeing to do. End of April at the latest. Lock down New York if you need to. This is just silly with all the retards predicting doomsday. They're going to keep moving the goalposts now and say, "Yeah but next month it'll get unmanageable, then next month, then next month."

    Now it's admittance it will die in summer but come back in the fall.

    You just don't understand how an exponential equation works. You just want old people to die so you can go to Starbucks again.

    Fuck off

    Here in Oregon the unions and dem politicians have succeeded in banning Oregon citizens from pumping their own gas. It's like a sacred thing. Well, no more for now. In order to put thousands of gas pumpers out of work we can now pump our own gas. We are saved.

    IT'S NOT THE FLU.

    But if the tv media had a flu tote board like CNN does in a split screen where every flu death was reported telethon style I'd expect a pretty severe reaction.

    if it's not the flu, what is it? right or wrong, most likely wrong, i've been thinking it's best described as a strain of flu.

    Very definitely wrong

    Influenza viruses and corona viruses are not related
    May not be related, but they appear to be very similar

    https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-flu

    Similarities: COVID-19 and the Flu
    Symptoms

    Both cause fever, cough, body aches and fatigue; sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.
    Can be mild or severe, even fatal in rare cases.
    Can result in pneumonia.

    Transmission

    Both can be spread from person to person through droplets in the air from an infected person coughing, sneezing or talking.
    A possible difference: COVID-19 might be spread through the airborne route (see details below under Differences).
    Both can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear.

    Treatment

    Neither virus is treatable with antibiotics, which only work on bacterial infections.
    Both are treated by addressing symptoms, such as reducing fever. Severe cases may require hospitalization and support such as mechanical ventilation.

    Prevention

    Both may be prevented by frequent, thorough hand washing, coughing into the crook of your elbow, staying home when sick and limiting contact with people who are infected. Social distancing can limit the spread of COVID-19 in communities.

    ********

    The BIG SCARY difference between the two is that there is no vaccine for COVID-19.

    I'm not pretending to be some smart fuck but it seams to me it's a flu-like illness arguably more contagious than the flu. Telling me I'm wrong does not tell me anything.
