We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

BleedingRed you seem to be deliberately gunking up this thread with your aggressive idiocy. I'm not going to respond anymore.

I feel like some of these posts are going to age like milk here in a few weeks.

I would almost argue that not allowing fans into the games is going to create a bigger opportunity for exposure than if they did allow them in.

Think of how many people are going to host watch parties now. Think of how many people are going to cram into bars everywhere.

It'll be mini petri dishes across the board.

This thread is full of people saying its horrible, worse thing ever. But I can't seem to find the Swine Flu Thread. Weird

Meanwhile, most people who actually have a real job are....you know...at work.

Tech companies whom employ people to sit a computer all day, send employees home where they work on their OWN computer all day.

I'm sure everything will be fine. There's no reason to panic.

Plenty of reason to take it seriously though, and no reason to mock companies for being proactive in their part. It's their decision.

People that keep taking about how great other places are doing with testing are being fooled into how much it matters. Testing makes no difference in the transfer of the virus unless people actually follow through and stay home or are forced to do so. I am happy if people that need to go the hospital get tested and the more available for them the better, but acting like it’s a government failure or scandal to not run around testing everyone or having testing stations for the purposes of distorting the numbers is just hysteria.

Think about the numbers posted for South Korea. They have tested almost 200,000 people which sounds like a lot, but that is only 0.4% of the population. Think about how small that number is. In a group of 10,000 people, 40 would be tested. Do those tests give you any confidence to stand in that group? Does anyone really think that minuscule number is a major reason why they are having success? It’s a small contributor at best as I’m sure there are clusters where a larger percentage are tested and more information is nice about who is getting it and in what ways, but still unless they don’t have the chance of passing it on it doesn’t really matter they got tested.

Cancelling schools, events, and other large gatherings is really the most effective option which we are seeing done all over the place now. Whether you think it’s an appropriate response or not is another question.

Sarcasm?

A bunch of little groups (with less potential to include an infected person) is better than one giant one.

Great.

Why are bars and restaurants still open?

this,

I think it has the potential to be dangerous over reaction. That's what I've been talking about...

Lots of people are suggesting that.
