What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

According to Dr Birx and Dr Fauci on the coronavirus task force, data out of Italy is showing twice as many men dying from this as women. Similar info has been reported out of China since the beginning of all this as well.

I would wager it has something to do with smoking. From some quick searching, Italy has over 11 million cigarette smokers and it appears to be particularly prolific with men aged 25-44. Smokers are also 1.6 times more likely to be men.

China has the largest population of smokers in the world with a much higher prevalence in men.

Lets think about this example:
Er Protocol may be like this: Every pt that has shows up and checked in outside the facility showing any symptoms needs a CT scan of their chest in a exterior room ct scanner to rule out pneumonia from this disease..
Ok, first off every pt is being placed one by one into the same 25×15 room then having the door closed while laying on the same ct scanner,. (Yes, the table etc is wiped down etc)
The Radiology technician is being exposed to every pt throughout the day.
I told my parents unless you are just bad sick stay the hell away from the ER, hospital, or "testing" centers.

I know for a fact a very top-level, smart hospital is shooting x-rays through the window of pts rooms. The x-ray is never in the same room as the pt. They put the plate Behind the pt, sit their bed up and zap.

In X-ray you figure kV and mAs, not sure what the parameter is for window.

That and we're just generally less healthy than women, especially as we age. How many wives tell their husbands they need to eat healthier and quit bad habits? Lol.

That would be great if we were doing x-ray images these are all CT chest exams and nobody is being let into the main facility with symptoms.

Well my wife just made 3 dozen quarantine cookies and I'll most likely eat two dozen, so....

All of those little factoids are reasons it is dangerous to just point fingers and and conclude things will be the same everywhere.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Yup. Even within the country things will not be the same everywhere. There’s an awful lot of apple/oranges/bananas/ kiwis going on.

This world has survived two World Wars, Vietnam, Korea, and much more before this Wuhan Virus crap .. some here act like this is the end... no, it isnt, this country and others will carry on and we the great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA will be stronger (as long as the dems/socialists/libs/commies (all one in the same) dont gain control) ... the end of the world is forth coming, the Sun will burn out in billions of years, or another asteroid will connect with us, or possibly a Sun flare or gamma ray burst will get us, etc. ..... but in the mean time, I'm going shed hunting/scouting Saturday and I will carry on with my life as I always have .... ...

The people???

And when law enforcement is intentionally not enforcing the law, and the governments are releasing prisoners back into society, then WHO's job is it to enforce things? The people.

I have decided if it comes to that, I will become a vigilante, and start arresting everyone (parked at the gates I want to hunt...) I contact starting April 1.... speaking of that, I need to get a LEO uniform on ebay

The "i'm gonna do what i damn well please" attitude is the base of the problem with spreading this thing.

Folks who spread it should be removed from the general population.
