My sons Senior year his team had a pretty good QB. Late in the district semis he got crunched in the ribs. Turns out the idiot head coach basically gave him 100% reps in practice. The backup QB was a tight end who he played instead of the JV QB who at least had taken tons of snaps. 9 fumbles in the district final game. The current CDC is that kid. We all felt so bad for him. Wasn’t his fault.

People voicing their concerns on here, even though what they post may seem panicked, may be their way of venting and processing what’s going on. Let them be.

You should multiply our confirmed cases and confirmed deaths by at least 5 to get close to true numbers.
We can estimate based on hospitalizations. ~10% of cases require treatment so Ohio should have 10000 people hospitalised from this if 100000 estimate is correct.
Not if they are asymptomatic at this time.
It’s largely irrelevant. They will be at 100,000 cases soon enough.
The situation in America is very different from ours. We have competent leadership that’s handling this right. America does not.
I don’t see what you gain by coming into this thread to respond to people you clearly have contempt for when they air their grievances and concerns here.

Competent leadership is one major difference, as is the history of countries (such as the one you’re in and the one zara’s from) with an understanding of what suffering means, versus countries like the US that have no fucking idea.

Pretty much. Wasn’t much (if any) fear here until the borders were closed. But even then it isn’t America bad.
Yet.

There is no doubt this is a real emergency but there is some hysteria forming as well. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to remind everyone to take a breath. It is starting to feel like the social breakdown will be worse than the disease itself.

FWIW, I didn’t interpret her post as moralizing or being intentionally rude/ugly to people. Seemed like she was offering constructive criticism, and trying to help, in her own way. It may have come across differently than she intended due to the language barrier. I think you all are overreacting to her post.

There are ways to express that viewpoint without going at someone personally.
Besides, I think she makes a decent point, even if I’m not sure how this plays out. Hopefully we end up somewhere between SK/Singapore/Taiwan and Italy. If Italy is our worse case, than the result will be much better than with AIDS. I suspect it may come off as more of a training exercise for a more significant pandemic a decade or two from now.
