@KurNorock 1700 cases that we know of. The issue with this shit is that there's a lot of people who have no symptoms or have a mild version of the disease and they're unaware of it.

@KurNorock Way to miss the point entirely. If the majority of people only have mild symptoms there is a huge fucking problem to all the people who are gonna either require hospitalization or die. "If you have the virus and don't even know it and spread it to other people who also only have mild symptoms" - You're determining that I'm only gonna spread to people who have the chance to beat the virus. You can't decide that beforehand. "How is that ANY different from the flu?" - The fact that it's deadlier? "So far, the common flu is FAR more dangerous than the Corona virus and nobody cares about the flu." - Because you're comparing an endemic virus that is allowed to run rampant, to something that we're ACTIVELY SUPPRESSING. If we were not suppressing the novel coronavirus then you could make a direct comparison to the flu. Right now, in Italy they're 3d printing parts for respirators to be able to keep people alive. Does this sound like the flu? "H1N1 was FAR more deadly than the Corona virus" - Didn't spread as fast. "I don't mean to brag, but this is like the 10th end of the world disease I've survived. I know how this story goes." - I don't mean to brag, but I didn't get bit by mosquitoes last night. Ignore the fact that I'm covered in bug repellent and the government is fumigating the streets outside. Even if nobody was taking any measures I wouldn't get bit anyway. "So, like I said, unless the actual fatality rates start to climb, this virus is no more dangerous than the flu"/"the fatality rates have been extremely low and limited to a specific subset of the population." - Again, because cities with the outbreak are closing down and limiting the spread.

@KurNorock "If their symptoms are mild and they are unaware they have it, then they don't have a problem." - But that's a smoothbrain take. They have a problem, which is endangering their community, and even for self-centered individuals, their elders. I don't want to unwittingly kill my grandmother. There's immuno-compromised people. There's old people. There's people with high blood pressure. There's people with diabetes. They're at risk and unless you want to make the argument that they deserve to die or some shit like that, you can't say there's no problem in having carriers spreading it around. "don't care about how many people catch a mild case of the sniffles." - The sniffles is only the symptom. You're being dismissive because the symptoms of a deadlier virus are equal to less serious viruses as long as your immune system is standing it's ground, really? I don't get you people, it's almost like you all believe that unless a virus is some sci-fi T-virus shit that makes people start bleeding out of their eyes in 30 seconds after infection it's not a big deal. "Unless significant numbers of people are dying or at least being hospitalized, then there is nothing to worry about." - You mean like in Italy? "And as of right now, there is less than 100 deaths nation wide." - That we know of. "People didn't freak out this hard over the H1N1 virus" - Oh wow different outbreaks have different degrees of severity and thus require different containment measures? No shit.
