[quote]Except for it’s working.[/quote]How do you know that it is working? How do you know that residing indoors in an environment with a higher concentration of virus particles is better than going outdoors where virus particles would be the least concentrated? How do you know that cold and flu season doesn't occur between October and April because people congregate indoors during cold weather months?

You can get it from sneezes or coughing. It makes logical sense why you would want to wear masks or stay apart. This is why it seems to be worse in higher and more dense populations.

Editado por JS5218: 4/14/2020 4:40:07 AMIt’s working because the government projected way worse deaths and now because of social distancing it’s not as bad. It should be pretty obvious that this isn’t a cold or flu. The cold and flu doesn’t wreck the entire worlds economy

[quote]It’s working because the government projected way worse deaths and now because of social distancing it’s not as bad.[/quote]How do you know those initial projections were not exaggerated? Honestly, how do you know SARS-CoV-2 hadn't already swept through some areas of the US back in late January through February. In my own area, there were a lot of people ill with an influenza-like illness that were testing negative for influenza. Some schools were considering temporarily closing due to low attendance. Nobody thought anything of it at the time. Seemingly, now most have forgotten in their hysterical fear. [quote]It should be pretty obvious that this isn’t a cold or flu. The cold and flu doesn’t wreck the entire worlds economy[/quote]From an epidemiological perspective it isn't obvious that SARS-CoV-2 is not the typical coronavirus causing influenza-like illness. It's actually obvious that it is and that it is being exaggerated and sensationalized. The claims that this is much worse isn't consistent with the studied epidemiology, the statistical data, and first hand observation. Why should I distrust those in favor of government agencies?

Those projections came from the White House itslelf, the corona virus task force, Multiple universities, Bill gates foundation, multiple states.... all of which are independent of one another. That’s why it was credible and why we had to flatten the curb which we are now doing thanks to social distancing

The info they are spouting about SARS-CoV-2 contradicts my knowledge on respiratory viruses without explanation. It also contradicts the research articles getting into the knit and gritty of the viruses pathology, epidemiology, and genetic analysis. If you would, please cite sources of such depth supporting those models. I cannot find them. The more I look into it, the more obviously inconsistent it is.

[quote]Lol the only thing being talked about anywhere is this virus. The info is literally everywhere. I’ve never done someone else’s homework before and I’m not starting now.[/quote]It's not though. The evidence does not support the claim. I've really looked into this. I cannot find it. I very much doubt you've been actively searching through the NLM NIH and other such databases daily for any information you can find on coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), SARS-CoV (SARS), and SARS-like coronaviruses such as MERS-CoV (MERS) trying to figure out why SARS-CoV-2 is this extremely dangerous exception. The more I learn about these viruses, the more I'm inclined to believe this is grossly exaggerated.

Well then the entire world is exaggerating.

All of the primary sources and my education support this conclusion. There is more going on. We just don't know what it is. [quote]Why am I bothering responding to this? You’re either a troll, or seriously blind to the world around you. Don’t bother replying.[/quote]The same thought is crossing my mind. You're too busy looking at the fear mongering spamming you like aggressive advertising campaigns to notice the sun shining, the moon waxing and waning, the stars twinkling, the grass greening, the trees budding, the birds twittering, the children playing, and the squirrels, rabbits, and other critters frolicking without a care. Here is a video interview with a statistical epidemiologist with over 30 years of experience in the field. His statements do not contradict what I learned during my microbiology undergrad. https://youtu.be/lGC5sGdz4kg If you find anything he says to be incorrect, please point them out and cite a primary source, not the garbage sensationalised media articles, correcting his error. Thank you.

Yeah, all these morons and their stay-at-home nonsense. You know how much more likely you are to get killed by a shark if you’re stuck inside with 20 of them, instead of being outside where those 20 sharks would be less concentrated? It’s like, people don’t have common sense, man.

It’s like, people don’t have common sense, man.[/quote]What? I don't understand. If we're going to use shark attacks as an analogy, then we need to be coherent. Just as shark attacks increase during the summer months, May to September, cold and flu infections increase during the winter months, October to April. People tend to go out to the beaches during the summer months. People tend to congregate indoors during the winter months. It really is common sense for anyone with any sort of education on cold and flu epidemics.

We get it. You went to school and read a couple articles. But you have to see the flaw in equating the current situation to cold & flu season, wherein people [i]aren’t[/i] quarantined. You’re making the assumption that indoor spaces are just filthy with COVID, that there are already 20 sharks stuffed into everyone’s living room.

Those redearch articles I'm reading on the pathology of SARS-CoV-2 indicate it is a typical influenza-like illness. This is even more evident by the fact that symptoms range from a runny nose to pneumonia and the fact that the number of undiagnosed cases is entirely unknown. Diagnosis is heavily biased toward sever illness. Again, this is evident by the fact that China was diagnosing patients based on the presence of pneumonia. As far as I know, they were not using rapid test kits in sufficient scale, similar to our current situation.
