At least FB is trying to do something. Twitter DGAF about misinformation. So of course I'm sure it's time to declare war on FB. Can't have fact-checking in 2020! Facts are whatever we want them to be. https://hoax-alert.leadstories.com/3...a-disease.html Here's he story it leads to. |

It doesn't matter. Probably been reposted a zillion times and people will believe it because it's on the internet.

I can only report on what’s currently going on here in Europe. I believe many, including myself, have underestimated this virus. It’s not the flu, mortality rates have shown that. And the flu will not just go away, just because CoVid has arrived. Hospitals have to deal with both diseases at the same time. Here in Switzerland, a country with one of the best health care systems in the world, some hospitals have already reached their capacity now, and we are basically one week behind Italy. In Italy, hospitals are considering to start using age limits on ventilators, because there are not enough machines available. Older patients would then just be left to die.
I am not worried about myself, because I’m not part of the risk group. I do know however many persons who are. Panic does not help, but effective measures need to be taken on a government level. It is, however, hard to enforce such measures in the Western World in the same way as in China, especially in a population that still underestimated the situation. Life is not the same anymore here. We will see what will happen when the virus hits overcrowded cities like NYC. Is the US health system up for the task? Is the health system anywhere up for the task?

If you are a healthy individual without underlying health conditions, should be an easy yes. Now if you are 60+ with health problems I would think twice. Italy is getting hit hard because most of their population is old (the oldest in the European Union) Breakdown of deaths can be found here: https://www.worldometers.info/corona...-demographics/ 45% of deaths had an underlying health issue including cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, etc 22% of deaths are 80+ year olds (almost 1/4) Last edited by carlos3652; 03-11-2020 at 03:33 AM.. |
