Corona impacts

[C.O.B.]

IMHO this is being blown out of proportion. Tens of thousands of people die from the flu every year all over the world.

The weather is warming up and if we run out of skid paper we can go outside and use a hose. A friend and I just finished butchering a steer so meat won't be an issue have plenty of bourbon, cigars. and ammo. At least gas is cheap first time it's been below $2/gal in a long time.

Covid 19 is not the same as the flu.

Look at it this way: there is an effective vaccine for the flue and there are treatments that reduce the effects of the flue and still, as you said, tens of thousands of people die every year. There is no vaccine for Covid 19 and there are no effective treatments for Covid 19. And a Covid 19 vaccine won’t be available anytime soon.

In spite of vaccines and treatments the flue is a killer, imagine how much worse the numbers would be if there were not vaccines and treatment. If anyone wants to get a sense of what can happen here one only needs to take a look at what’s going on in Italy where treating Covid 19 is consuming virtually all of the country’s medical services.
