our behavior is not much different than monkeys.

Seems like there are many opinions in the medical field on this. I also know of a doctor who said this is a lot of hype and its really no worse than the flu. Yet I know another that says its only a matter of time before we all get it. Doesnt mean we all die, just that we all get it.

You would think there would be some level of consensus.

I am just trying to figure out if I cancel my vacation in 10 days. Ive got an asthmatic coworker who is still planning on taking a 3 hour flight for his vacation.

I’m not a doctor, and won’t pretend to be. I do feel the 24 hour media is hyping this to a frenzy. I also feel that one side of the political aisle would love to see the stock market tank because party power is more important than what’s good for the average citizen. And before you brand me a right winger, realize I feel the biggest problem with our government is lack of term limits for the House and Senate.

One thing I wish the CDC and the media would focus on is to give us data. If this article is correct, regarding Italy, the average age of those who have died there....81. 2/3 of them had 3 or more pre-existing conditions. The article also says it will be deadlier than the flu to healthy people.

So it’d be nice if the CDC would (if they have I can’t find it) start releasing stats on age, sex, and pre-existing conditions so we can all have a better understanding of what is going on.

Excellent and rational post.

Although I can barely read this response, I believe you are suggesting the "hoax" comment was about the media. If that it what you are suggesting, we both know this is COMPLETE horseshit.

Though I can barely read an intelligent response, you and I know insults are the last refuge.
Again, it was clear,no doubt,on par with how it was handled, and very direct. How anyone could miss this is just trying to.

Best thing she heard from a regional specialist was this:

"The best way to get rid of the virus is to have the media shut up about it for two weeks."

What is that regional specialist a specialist of exactly? It sounds like the president, our governor, the NBA, NASCAR, the Big 10 and everything else has got it wrong according to this "regional specialist". Creighton had their game called off at halftime! Is that Fox News' fault? Is that what your "regional specialist" is saying?
