Based on the number of people who have only mild symptoms and the number of asymptomatic positive individuals, I believe the percentage of deaths will decrease. The picture we are seeing right now is based on incomplete data.

The biggest difference between flu and coronavirus is the death rates. Flu is basically 1 and coronavius is 3-4. As the complete data picture develops that 3-4 may decrease significantly.

That being said, doesn't imply I think our efforts to decrease exposure are a waste of time. Just look at the differences between China and Taiwan. China has over 80,000 infected with over 3000 deaths, and Taiwan has 50 cases with 1 death.

I have never been a fan of spitting into the wind.

China's population is 1.4 Billion, while Taiwan is 24 million. So the number of infected would be expected to be much higher. But I do agree, we should take every measure to stop it from spreading- just like we do with the common cold.

So, do you stop spitting or just stop spitting directly into the wind?

Just got back from wal mart the shelves are empty you can't buy a roll of toilet paper or any other paper products or any cleaning supplies. Good thing I work at a paper mill if toilet paper cures it I'm in good shape.

I wondered why they were in such a hurry to declare this a National Emergency. Apparently it is just like declaring martial law. We have no "rights" now. The Government call tell us what to do. We can't have any protests so we have no freedom of speech. We can't have an election so we have no democracy. We can't go to church so we have no freedom of religion. Next they will come after our guns. The governor of Virginia is already talking about outlawing hunting and fishing. What have we come to?

Thing I want to know is when the government is shutting down? They are making everyone else.
