    Are you guys as confused as I am ? ...

    On the one hand Netanyahu says 10,000 Israelis will die of the virus,
    yet on the other, we're told that 90% of the people who contract it
    will not even know they had it, or if they did know, the symptoms
    would be just coughs and sneezing or at worst flu like.
    They said initially that kids were immune which turned out not to
    be true. They then said that people over 60 were the most vulnerable
    but later altered that to mean that the elderly suffering from one disease
    or another were doomed because of their ineffective immune systems.
    They said the virus could linger on a door knob for only a short time,
    but it turns out that was incorrect and it can linger far longer.
    It takes time for the experts to get a grip on these things before they
    fully understand what's going on but what confuses me is just how
    deadly is it. If 90% of those who get it survive then how come
    the world is shutting down in sheer panic ? If it's the old and sick
    or just the seriously sick that are vulnerable then maybe they should
    be taken care of while the rest of can get back to work.
    How long can we stay shut down before we turn into a 3rd worlder ?

    I suppose they could move the elderly to stadiums and arenas and vacant malls, then infect them in an orderly way. Would that make it less confusing? At least you'd see the gauntlet you had to run.

        He's largely irrelevant to what happens ... for awhile.

          Something he loathes.
