Maybe, maybe not. But, at least in general terms, I do not trust them. There I am again, I guess... a "Doubting Thomas." Perhaps I could word it a bit differently and simply say I have not met, encountered or read about many that I would trust...fair enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few trust them. Then again, politics is an emotive thing so that's not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it hasn't reached a town near you then. Everyday I take my wife to the hospital were she works, knowing she could contract the virus and give it me, at 70+ and having had pneumonia twice, am I worried, you bet your life I am, but I have my faith and that is a great comfort as I take each day as it comes. 23 hours ago, Marvin Boggs said: We don't shut down the entire global economy for other outbreaks This is no ordinary flu virus.....Youngest victim in UK has now passed away at 13 years old, the boy had no underlying health issues.

Absolutely gut-wrenching. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you may be more concerned about this one because of all the news it is making, but you'd be in just as much danger from Flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You previously mentioned that the "death rate" for all cases of this virus was only about 4 %. Today it is at 5 % and still rising. As you know, I think that number is misleading and low because only 81% of the "Closed Cases" have revovered. So what flu has these numbers? Can you be specific with numbers and links to help ease the minds of those of us who are overly concerned about SARS-CoV-19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
