    I know Im not in a rush to have society think its just "OK" to just get it..Who knows what long term effects this BS has in conjunction with anything else you catch later on in life..I prefer this to die out like the measles my self.
    Soon as you buy into hey its nothing worse then the cold..(which is a crock of s$%t), you put yourself and others at a massive risk.

    If getting it doesn't give you immunity to getting it again, then you -will- get it, and you -will- keep getting it until you die.
    Thus, there's no sense in keeping people at home or keeping businesses closed because there's no benefit in doing so.

    The entire West is the victim of a CCP/DP political hoax.

    Except for that minor little detail about a potential treatment that becomes so common place and effective that any new infection would be handled easily and without a trip to the doctor/hospital.

    not for long...

    i'm bettin this will fast-track autonomous shopping...

    ai to the rescue! :rolleyes:

    many conglomerate supermarkets have been wanting to do that for decades, one major chain wants no actual products on the shelves in lieu of kiosks which interact with your phone/mobile device, then someone loads all your items into a cart from the storage warehouse (that once was the space for customers to grab their own) & brings it to you after you pay for it...

    Well then why hide, is the point specialist/doctors are making today.. Another general consensus is WHY, why are we for the first time in mans history with contagion are we quarantining the healthy and not just the sick/symptomatic as it's always been done! Now that we know that even in the worst area's like NY State there is a better than 90% recovery record and why are we quarantining other states with far less instances COVID and the same low percentage of death and high percentage of recovery..

    Clearly something is way off with this entire bassacward approach to what is quickly become less deadly then H1N1 ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    See your concept of virus.. IT WILL NOT DIE OUT :) There are still cases of H1N1 this year.. Clearly you have contracted misinformation while futilely attempting to hide from something that will wait patiently for you to come out and play :) The only thing that can make it less harmful is your immune system and that's not going to upgrade until you face the beast :no::no::no::wierdface::roll:

    Doctors/specialists are not the ones making the point about "why hide." They are explicitly the ones recommending that we remain hidden because this pandemic is still ongoing and ~2% of Americans dying is nearly 6 million dead Americans.

    This virus is exponentially more deadly than the H1N1. That virus killed ~12500 Americans across the course of a year during the outbreak in 2009-2010. This virus has killed nearly 60,000 Americans in five weeks.

    yes, but the glorious governor stated "21% of new yorkers", so by his own words 4.2 million new yorkers have the antibodies & with only ~20,000 dead that's roughly 0.004% death rate!

    Not anymore! The more they test that mounting data dictates a much clearer picture... You are still clinging to speculation and rejecting data gathered by testing ;)

    100% infection rate with 2% mortality?
    Sorry, I laughed really hard

    A calculated rate is not a function, but rather a constant, and therefore not exponential anything.

    we'll safeguard one male & one female...
    ummm, hold that thought...

    one person with a fully functioning penis & one person with a fully functioning vagina/ovaries to propagate the planet after the rest of us are covid'd

    Again you clearly haven't a working concept of how pathogens are transferred and how long they can survive on surfaces and such.. You wanna be sure your good to go, then simply get out and goooo..
