Better to be over prepared and not need it than to be under prepared and need it. Something I will always go by.
It is rather ironic how many guys on this site who echo the same sentiment except for this particular issue.

I am not being a wise ass. Just tossing some food for thought to the crowd that thinks this has been here for months. Take a look at the current case timelines for this virus, then try to extrapolate what that would mean if this was actually secondary out break like your implying.
Sorry to hear that. I hope she recovers quickly. My daughter is a med surgery nurse. She just found out 3 of the anesthesiologists that she works with have tested positive. My mothers neighbor died yesterday of the virus and his wife is quarantined. Thankfully my mom has been holed up for 2 weeks with no contact with the neighbor.
We had our deadliest day after mass efforts to slow this virus. What if we were just carrying on as if nothing is happening?
Archery Talk is the hunting forum for you if you want to blow off.
On average, 2,000 New Yorkers die every year from flu. Coronavirus deaths are at 500 something in New York. It is possible that coronavirus (or at least some strain of it) has been around longer than we know. The death rate is a little over 1% but that rate includes ALL the people that died while infected. It does NOT include the probably very large number of untested infections. With that taken into account, the death rate is probably well below 1%. Without the media coverage, coronavirus would easily pass as a bad strain of flu. The 1918 outbreak had a death rate over 2%.

"However, it is obvious this virus is much more dangerous than people like to, or want to, admit."
You can't say that without the true infection rate being known. It may be far less deadly than influenza if the infection rate were know. Could be equal or much worse as well.

Its also rather ironic how so many that want to discount experts also have their own "expert" opinion.

Very true. Everybody has their own little twist to what they believe and somebody else takes their implications and suggestions and runs with it and says "Oh no, it's not quite like that. It's most definitely like this." And the original poster is like "I didn't say it IS that way, I said it MIGHT be that way."This thread is getting exhausting to follow. I can’t possibly point out every lie, error, logical fallacy, misrepresentation, and misunderstanding. They’re in almost every post.
Thank you. My mother lives on a farm 30 miles east of KC. She has been at home since this all started and my 3 siblings that live in the area have been bringing her supplies. I got her a subscription to ButcherBox.com so she gets a monthly box of beef/chicken/pork. My daughter works in Scottsdale, AZ on a heart lung team. Nearly all of her patients are circling the drain so they will get their surgery even if they are infected. Her team has been told that they will get the virus. I am worried for her, my 8 month old grand daughter and my son in law. She has asked me to stay away because she is afraid of passing it to me. I have some lung damage from exposure to mold.Jesus, I'm sorry to hear all that. I hope you mom and daughter both stay safe.
What region of the country?
That chart is misleading. How many days of 110 car crash and 152 flu deaths occurred before COVID-19 even showed up? COVID-19 has a lot of catching up to do.
Deaths today I read were about 350. That puts the rolling average about 180 I believe. I saw a lot of posts about how car crashes and the flu have more average deaths per day. Not anymore.
A few observations. We had our deadliest day after mass efforts to slow this virus. What if we were just carrying on as if nothing is happening? These numbers are from a population that is barely even exposed as a whole. The flu infects every corner of the country by the end of the year.
I am not saying we should have or should not have done things differently. Those decisions are above my pay grade. However, it is obvious this virus is much more dangerous than people like to, or want to, admit.
Here’s a very frustrating fact to learn: China does not included asymptomatic positives in their counts.
That means the infection rate is much much higher, the death rate much much lower. It’s tough to ascertain, but this is perhaps a shift in reporting from earlier protocols.
Mystery In Wuhan: Recovered Coronavirus Patients Test Negative ... Then Positive
NPR interviewed four residents of Wuhan who contracted the virus, recovered — but then had a retest that turned positive. What does that mean for China's recovery from COVID-19?www.npr.org
“China also does not include asymptomatic cases in case counts.”
that makes sense, and in a way we have been similar so far just by default and how testing has been to this point.Here’s a very frustrating fact to learn: China has not included asymptomatic positives in their counts.
That means the infection rate is much much higher, the death rate much much lower.
