Coronavirus: COVID-19

First of all, you don’t need to know ****ing **** about epidemiology to be a nurse, so that person is not even remotely an authority on the matter

Second of all, no, we do not know if young people will be fine. Nobody knows the long term effects of COVID-19, because it has not even existed long enough for there to have been any actual tests or evidence to be able to say one way or another. For all we know it may cause permanent damage to the lungs or central nervous system. Hell I even saw some scientists hypothesizing that it may affect male fertility. Every time an idiot claims that we’re just guaranteed to have no issues just because some young people have recovered well in the short term, people grow less and less weary than they should be. Its ignorant and irresponsible

"flu is way worse"

From what I've heard coronavirus mortality rate is about 10x higher than the standard flu.

I love it when I see "First of all..". Gives me a chance to do that.

Everything he was saying just sounded half arsed, feels like they know its worse than they're saying.

I have the exact same vibe

Does anyone know how many Americans have even been tested?

My whole team had to register for offsite remote login access today. Might be teleworking if **** hits the fan in NJ or the FAA decides to close its facilities.
