The H1N1 fly the Trumpies keep referring to had a fatality rate of about.03% about 1/3rd of the regular flu compared to a fatality rate of certainty over 1% for the current crisis. A crisis which even Donald Trump recognizes.
If you look at the case reporting curves for China (if you believe them) and South Korea, the outbreak seems to subside 4-6 weeks after it's initial surge.
Now not every country will be the same due to all of the variables involved and some countries (Italy) are frankly notoriously disorganized so it's hard to say exactly but it is a rough bell-weather.
So, assuming the US follows a similar pattern, we should see our cases flatten out in early to mid-April.
Look at the measures South Korea and China took to control the spread of the virus. Now look out your window into your local community. Do they look similar? No?
Ok, so maybe lets stop using China as a comparison given that they had guys in hazmat suits restricting social movement and implementing tests recorded in personalized QR codes and we have Spring Breakers running around Florida and governors and congressmen tweeting that its a great time to take your family out to dinner. SMDH.
The media wanted us to freak out over all those things but the medical crisis just wasn't bad enough to justify it. Last year the mumps and measels were a hyped as a political football and there were only a few dozen cases, tops.
So this is as big as a hurricane the weather channel goes ape **** over. Will it be a category one or a category five? Doesn't matter, to them its the end of the world and a reason to make some political attacks.
Completely mistaken quote from you above. The MEDIA has not caused any of the above. Schools and businesses closed down, but not by the media. President Trump just urged people not to congregate in groups of 10 or more. Was he controlled by the media? China locked down their society to defeat the virus. The don't even have a free media there. Why is everything always the media's fault with you people?
Because right or wrong, it's the Media that drives public opinion.
And public opinion is what drives policy.
The Media decides what to report on and how to report on it.
And they're just as biased and agenda driven as everyone else is.
There's no such thing as politicly neutral anymore.

They also went door to door, and if you were sick, took you and put you into one of 4 categories of quarantine, AND took everyone who lived there, and put them in a different category of quarantine.

The fatality rate for Covid-19 is completely theoretical.
They don't know the actual fatality rate yet and may never know.
Because 80% of cases show mild or no symptoms and go untested and unrecorded in calculating the rate.
Which means it's probably much lower than what were being told.

Lol... I swear Conservatives are going to get themselves killed in droves. Of all the countries battling CV, whose methods does the US resemble? It's damn sure not SK or China. Why would you think our outcomes are going to be similar to theirs? Like saying China used 2+2 to get 4, so if I use 2+1 I should get 4 too. Bc we both used 2?

According to the medical professionals I know, unless we take drastic action Italy-style shift is going to hit the fan in about 10 days. Seeing these fools downplaying the problem and predicting a flattening out in April have been proved wrong is going to be the least satisfying "I told you so" ever.

Exactly right, but that won't stop the politically-motivated hysteria pushers from doing their thing.
