I still wonder what we are NOT being told if this virus is so mild then WHY are such extreme measures being taken.

I still wonder what we are NOT being told if this virus is so mild then WHY are such extreme measures being taken.

Its because the first wave or the lesser of the 2 strains can be mild, but still worst than the flu. You keep getting it and even if you recover, it causes permanent damage.

The government's is not telling the whole truth.

60 million people on quarantine, wow. Told to not go to work, travel or anything. I’m guessing grocery stores must remain open for the average people that weren’t crazy preppers....

This is the same thing that happened in China, where whole sections of the country were locked down. I agree that there must be something we are not being told, if such extreme measures are being taken. I don't remember such things in the swine flu epidemic in 2009 but I was young and wasn't paying much attention, so it may have happened, feel free to correct me. But to me this does seem much more serious, and I agree that the long term effects are certainly not known, even if most people "survive."

So Slovenia has closed its borders to Italy, Spain has stopped taking in flights from Italy, Towns in Germany are pre-empting an outbreak by closing schools

 

[BillMasen]

In the UK cases of Corona are doubling every 24 hours just like italy.

 

[BillMasen]

Austria now stopping all Italians from driving across the border unless they have a health certificate

 

[BillMasen]

1. Norwegian and Lufthansa cancelling up to 50% of their scheduled flights for the next month or so.

heard today from my bro, he has a neighbor working at a construction site and a site next to that, there's a dude who's wife has covid-19, but as he's not feeling ill, he's working there and reasoning that he's healthy,why does he need to in quarantine?? living under the same roof, sleeping in the same bed, no contact...yeah right..
this is how this **** is spreading here, by stupid people!!

and when you think about this, I might have contracted it from my brother already as he have had contact with his neighbor, just hope not, it's all how close that neighbor works to that other dude..

Do you know for sure that everyone has lasting permanent damage?

Do you know for sure that everyone has lasting permanent damage?

Not all, but many will.

 

[tmttactical]

So much for open travel and open border in the E.U.. AND the liberals and Socialist (Hello Bernie) demand we keep our borders open.

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

Not all, but many will.

The more we find out about this virus, the worse it sounds. Plus it truly appears like a lab made virus.

They should make him wear masks and everything and anyone near him should too.

 

[Codokaktus]

The lock down of Italy is more like a military coup - oof course the reason sounds so innocent....; in France, the state of emergency after the Bataclan massacre was never released

 

[Brent S]

They should make him wear masks and everything and anyone near him should too.

They should arrest him for potentially exposing others....

 

[Brent S]

Seriously, the majority of people in the US can’t afford a 400$ emergency. I’m sure it’s similar in most of the world. How do you tell everyone that dosent have a stocked pantry that they can’t go to work and make money for food? There is no containment possible at this point. Just hope your resistance is good and limit your chances of infection as much as possible.

 

[KateMTx]

I'm saying rather than go out exposing people, that's what they should have done. I don't think it's necessarily feasible to completely avoid human contact, but certainly we can prevent the spread of germs by both the potentially sick and the health taking all precautions. We are having to retrain all our employees on infection control protocols and make sure they have access to and make use of hand washing stations, hand sanitizer, and PPE.
