  1. If you're not a health worker, or a heavy smoker, you'll probably live.

  2. Well for starters, coronaviruses are RNA, not DNA viruses. Does that mean anything to you? I have a degree in microbiology, and have taken virology courses. That knowledge is really useless, unless you are one of the people working on the vaccine. What people need to know is, stock up on supplies in case you need to stay away from other people for a while. Don't shake hands, try not to touch anything, wash your hands thoroughly before touching your face or food. If you have to cough or sneeze, cough into the crook of your elbow, not your hand.

  3. Trump has failed. The CDC has not. Look at the CDC website.

  4. When I was getting my degree in microbiology, I took an epidemiology seminar course. It was lead by this Rockefeller fellow, Telford Work, who had traveled all over the world, even Nazi Germany, determining how various epidemics got started, and how to stop them.(Some of this work was done prior to antibiotics.) He set up a retrovirus pandemic scenario, with every student portraying a different government's response team leader. (Lucky me, I got to be the USSR, the country with the worst medical infrastructure. A country where all medical research had been perverted by a false belief in Lysenko's theory of evolution.) Every time we thought we had it contained, he threw a new outbreak at us. In the end, we lost a third of the world's population. (When HIV started showing its ugly head (called GRID then) all of us, that had been involved in that scenario, got out of work that would expose us to blood.) Covid-19 isn't a retrovirus, but it is taking a course a lot like the one Dr. Work put us through hell with, although faster and less lethal. I sure hope it has a better ending.

  5. It's mostly killing people over the breeding age. Population control would kill the young, like the Spanish flu.

  6.  @tracywerner4315  He also cut funding to the CDC, which is what he wrote.

  7. I believe the CDC. I've been reading their MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) religiously since 1977, They are always upfront about epidemics and health crises. Go to the CDC website. It may be a bit of an overload for you, but it's honest.

  8. Don't be an ass. Only the deep state (CDC, NIH, etc. ) can save us.

  9. Yep, they've been sold out since early February.

  10.    Don't blame the health workers, they were only supposed to bring those who tested negative home. Then Trump's administration overrode the CDC recommendation at the last minute.

  11. That's weird. When I returned from Israel on February 3rd, they were taking the temperatures of everyone from infected areas. I saw them whisk away a family from India that seemed sick.
