Mine would be ripped on,a route.

My apartment parking lot is full...that never happens.
These people are usually gone somewhere doing something. (So am I for that matter)

But with all the cancelled events and everyone scared of going out to places...the place is full.
I can't imagine that this is going to last long...cabin fever will take over eventually.

Depends on whether there are scary stories of hospitals turning people away, like in Italy. Store shelves are empty in many places. People are freaking out.

They let this thing get out of hand. They should have tested hundreds of thousands by now, and quarantined anyone infected. Now its spreading in the community, and people are afraid. They don't know who is infected, and who isn't. In China, everyone wore a mask, and infection was brought under control. Over here, people are discouraged from wearing masks to protect themselves.

At least they are finally starting to ban travel to infected countries. Should have been done long ago. Why let travelers bring that stuff to local communities?

Worst Case Scenario by CDC (if no actions taken) [source]

Between 160 million and 214 million people in the U.S. could be infected (Worst case scenario). Dr. Lawler, an infectious diseases specialist, provided a “best guess” projections of 96 million people

Could last months or even over a year

As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die. Dr. Lawler’s calculations: 480,000 deaths, which he said was conservative

By contrast, 20,000 to 50,000 people have died from flu-related illnesses this season according to CDC.

2.4 million to 21 million people in the U.S. could require hospitalization, potentially crushing the nation’s medical system, which has only about 925,000 staffed hospital beds. Fewer than a tenth of those are for people who are critically ill

This is where flattening the bell curve makes sense. You may not be able to stop the spread, but you may slow it. And buy time. Spread the cases out, not flood the system all at once; get the science research done.

Are you a doctor, because you seem to know an awful lot about healthcare. (And common sense)

Speaking of common sense, you would think that would be a cure for their cabin fever.
 
What also is troublesome is the ace2 factor...meaning that any vaccine/cure is going to be more difficult than previously thought.
Don't want people to stroke/heart attack out by trying to survive a pandemic.
 
After these things the Word of the LORD came unto Abram in a Vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield (protection), and thy exceeding great reward. Genesis 15:1

Place your Faith (and maintain your Faith exclusively in Christ and the Cross of Calvary where the victory was won) in the Giver of the Promise. Romans 8:2, 28

Yes, they recommend keeping your distance from infected people for protection. Mars should be far enough.

Having been exposed to tb,malaria areas .this is a reminder of how we don't have control.
 
You know what people? I think everybody should stop being so scared about dying and start enjoying the fact that we're alive. :) (If we truly know Christ that's never actually going to happen anyways. :cross) Come on everybody let me hear you howl! :wink

No we don't.

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 ESV
 
Still, we have some responsibility to avoid harming others, if we can. In Italy, some of those who figured they were immune just kept doing irresponsible things. The cost to other people has been:

Italian Doctor on the Front Lines said:
Here's why: Fatality is the wrong yardstick. Catching the virus can mess up your life in many, many more ways than just straight-up killing you. "We are all young"—okay. "Even if we get the bug, we will survive"—fantastic. How about needing four months of physical therapy before you even feel human again. Or getting scar tissue in your lungs and having your activity level restricted for the rest of your life.

Italy has become a horror show. Doctors there are starting to treat a lot of youngsters. In some places, they are not even bothering to try and treat senior citizens.

So do your part to help fight this thing. If not for yourself, think about the other people who will suffer if you don't. You don't want that on your conscience.
