    Yes it does as the article notes and no you haven't followed it longer than anyone else. The fact remains the largest risk factor is for the older people with older people complications. Showing a couple of young people who died, without noting any other complications they may have had, proves nothing and I don't trust reports coming out of Iran anyway.

    Good point and I wouldn't put it past Iran to attempt to fuel panic in America.

    I don't think the threat can be overstated. Not because the virus is that deadly but because our infrastructure cannot handle the spike in patients that we KNOW will be requiring medical help.

    The good news is that the overwhelming majority of those who seek treatment will live, with or without treatment. It's the panic that will overwhelm our system.

    We have :democrat: to do that. Haven't you noticed who's hysterical? It's being done purposely to undermine the economy in hopes of damaging President Trump.

    Ah, let the sheeple do their thing. I was able to walk into Dunkin Donuts get my coffee and back out in less than a minute, compared to waiting in the drive-thru line. And I'll have free access to any bar restaurant with no Libs.

    Wrong. It's the critically sick. 10% of 100's of thousands will over run our capacity to treat.

    Yeah, I was going to donate $100 to Biden, but decided to tank my 401K instead.

    The hysteria over the virus is a hoax to crash the markets in an attempt to hurt Trump's 2020 re-election campaign.

    It is the winter flu. It is nothing to panic over.

    If we get to the point where our hospitals don't have the resources to treat all of the sick it will be because of people like you.

    The media was attributing the booming economy to Obama as I recall.

    The point is obviously tear-jerking when there is no factual basis as usual.

    Yes, doctor, please go on.
    Everyone knows that best way to tank an economy is with a pandemic. Simple really, like winning a tariff war or getting health care for everyone.
    Are you over 60 and have any health problems?

    The elderly usually have some chronic problem, diabetes is common
    Well if I get sick and go to a hospital I hope I had enough toilet paper at home to have wiped my butt.

    Well if you get sick and go to the hospital I hope there's a room for you. Judging on the sentiments on this forum I wouldn't be confident.

    I'm pretty old so they'd just give me a couple of aspirin and tell me to call in the morning.

    If they would tell you that then you shouldn't have been there in the first place.
