my bust its elderly are more likely to die from the flu, as I mentioned how many nurses and doctors die from treating flu patients. Italy a major hot spot are loosing doctors from the pandemic that is not heard of with treating flu patients not saying there hasn’t been or it doesn’t happen few cases of that rather it is becoming part of the fight against the coronavirus, the health care workings are scared working on the frontlines tells a lot about it. I hardly believe it’s a mass conspiracy or payed actors as one poster said not sure in thus thread but that’s ignorant

You're suffering from what is called confirmation bias.....you have formed the opinion that the coronavirus is an extreme and dire health emergency, thus any news that doesn't agree with your opinion must be wrong. Given that the overwhelming majority of MSM coverage confirms your opinion, you view anything contrary....it has to be wrong. We live in a black and white world these days, everything is either right or wrong, good or evil....people are sinners or saints. Reality of course is different....we're all sinners, but sometimes and hopefully often we can act as saints.
Watch more of the videos from that news source, in addition to the graphics and data given in the video I linked there are other with even more in depth analysis. This one analyzes the first
Why you would say "with no facts because no data is given"??? is interesting, and it makes me question whether you even watched this new story at all? It includes an analysis of the first 386 deaths in the UK, that's data. Saying that the "majority was elderly" simply means that at least half were elderly....whatever elderly means, to a 20 year old I'm elderly. Eye popping is that 98% of the first 386 deaths were people suffering from underlying health conditions....
More interesting though is the presentation of simple verifiable facts, like that ~600,000 people die in the UK every year, and that the majority of those dying are both elderly and in poor health.
There's lots of data being presented, and lots of analysis....especially about the human cost of what we're doing to combat coronavirus. If you like charts and more in depth analysis this one is even better:

A quick note on the Oxford study....Britains two most famous universites are Cambridge and Oxford. Cambridge is generally considered the more conservative of the two, hosting people like Jordan Peterson for symposiums.....Oxford by contrast is more classicly liberal...not that it matters but I do know some Liberal types will give more weight to inforamtion that comes from Oxford.

E
same thing here in Ohio.
COVID19 causes severe respiratory illness, which leads to severe pneumonia. thats why when it reaches our elderly. like those on nursing homes, It is overtaking many of them. Their bodies can not fight pneumonia.
My dad just died last week from pneumonia caused by an aspiration event, He was on his way to recovery and doing good and his heart just stopped. Younger people can handle pneumonia much better, I had it when I was 19. Hardly even took me down.. Felt like a bad flue. but I was still active. If i gor the same today, it would take me down, but hopefully not out.

A buddy of mine for years now lives in south Jersey but works in northern Delaware. He just called because he has friends that live in NYC. People there that have the Coronavirus are jumping out of high rises to their death. I'm thinking they left notes behind. They figure they're going to die a horrific death due to CV so instead of that they jump.
Unbelievable! Not everyone who gets this thing dies. I blame media for sensationalizing it.
Now to hear tell it, Pelosi is calling for impeachment of Trump again due to his inaction and delay in addressing Corona. What a pathetic creature she is. She forgets we remember that the Left wing fools she speaks for told Trump he couldn't do anything without their approval when he first wanted to attack this threat.
Lets impeach them for a change.
Pelosi is said to have the virus but it isn't in the news due to the public response it would generate.

If you're talking about stocking up, you've got to understand that not everyone can afford to be stocked up like that in advance, some (like me) have tiny freezers too, because we are renting. Wishes don't always agree with possibilities. It's not feasible for everyone to build own nuclear shelter for every imaginable disaster in order to achieve self reliance. So it was quite arrogant from people who ran to stores first (they weren't stocked up either) to tell others "why didn't you think earlier" as if everyone rushing to the store earlier would somehow multiply the amount of goods so that everyone is covered.
So it is the problem of the state. My little home country has lysol public cysterns people can take however they need for free, and the state limited panic shoppers quickly so everybody has everything, military made improvised hospitals, rules are being enforced. Meanwhile here I am in a first world country where there is no lysol and people auction tampons, and people stick to you behind cashbox despite warnings. And they tell you if you dont have hand sanitizer how to make your own hand sanitizer with alcohol that is nowhere to be found. Don't mean to bash the US but they handled this poorly. Hopefully everyone will be prepared better next time.

people are too used to having anything and everything they want the moment they want it
entitlement is another problem
people here were not expecting to be like everyone else
as a non-American living in the US, (as are you) you see this even without a 'pandemic'
and remember...Trump wanted to shut down things...China etc...before it actually happened..and all the dems screamed about how he was anti this and anti that
now they flip it
the stories change minute by minute...my husband had to go to Lowes the other day to purchase something and he said the store was crowded. however, we live in FL and apparently deSantis has caved and is closing down the state...personally, I think that is overkill
