Here I'll help you out.
Wrong. You can talk ignorance all you want but at least don't call someone else ignorant while posting this garbage. Health care costs aren't stopping the spread. Social distancing, hygience, isolation when sick will. You are not saying the opposite. You are discounting proven methods promoted by people who absolutely know more than you on the subject and spouting off political talking points in their place.
Again, there are lots of things that we can be doing.
As for you calling me self righteous, lets re-read more of your ignorant rant
As for if I understand....yes. I understand you have no idea what you are talking about. You have decided you know more than medical professionals and are touting ignorance above logic.
And I would end it the same way about going back and re-reading but you certainly don't strike me as the reading type and I don't want you to get back to me.
You can stop the posturing already. If you want to have a mature, adult conversation, then I'm all for that. The self-important attitude is not needed.
The fact is, the ECDC, the Chinese CDC, and the American CDC have all concluded that the highest risk of death results from lack of access to supportive therapy, i.e. hospital emergency rooms and ICUs. There are two aspects of this which are threatening: 1) If people can't afford access to hospitals or live an area with medical scarcity; and 2) Hospitals become so bombarded with sick patients that they can't maintain resources. European cities fit the second point only. The U.S. fits points 1 and 2 because we don't have public health care. So our death rate could theoretically be higher per capita than Europe or even China.
The latest WHO report (issued yesterday) says that the pandemic can be successfully navigated in every country if hospitals can handle the influx of people. It's
all about hospital resources. Period. It doesn't matter if the public takes precautions. If the populace isn't locked down, the virus will still spread, because the R naught is higher than 3 and so its spread will be exponential, based on asymptomatic individuals infecting others.
So you see, they are already predicting a massive spread of this virus. It's not if but when. The spread is already exponential, and the detection measures are inadequate. So, given that, it comes down to hospital resources.
If you would stop waving your dick around for 5 seconds and look at the facts, you might learn a thing or two. The virus WILL spread. All of the public health measures currently being taken are about buying time so that the WHO can ascertain more details about the virus, and so that institutional resources can be properly allocated in the areas that are going to be hardest hit, such as large cities. China is pushing an unsafe vaccine that will be available inside a month. The clinically trialled vaccine done properly won't be available for 8-12 months. So, do the math. Infection rate is increasing at 900% per day so far, with no way to prevent it, health authorities aren't adequately testing, and hospitals are under resourced. Put 2 and 2 together.
So far, the majority of fatalities (>60%) have been among those age 60 and older. In Italy, ALL of the fatalities were in that age group. Same as the flu.
It sounds like you need to do more reading before you lecture me about my ignorance. You don't even know my educational or work background. Trust me, I know way more about this than you do.
