Nobel Laureate says spread of Coronavirus will end soon

Why are the shelves empty? Whether you want to believe it not, the virus spreads when many people come into contact with many other people.

The factories that pack meat use people to pack the meat. They have closed to avoid (slow) spreading the virus.

Ditto canned goods.
Ditto paper products.
Ditto, ditto, ditto.

Are you still working?
And let me walk on you through this abundance. It's already packed. It's already in warehouses waiting to be distributed. In case it's already in the back room. But it's harder to distribute with such an overload. People could have shopped as normal and we'd be fine. But they paniced and selfishly hoarded. There need be no such worryof an over loaded medical system, but people are so stupid and selfish and acted in ways that disredarded all safety precautions without real reason to do so.
This virus is nothing. Humans, however, have proven they are so stupid and dangerous that aliens won't visit our they exist. Just look at the danger we post to eachother as we merrily laugh along the way.

As I said, ignorance is not a virtue.

However, if you and Columbus think there is nothing to fear in comingling with a lot of people, I sure you can find other people who believe like you do. Go out and mingle.
Where have we said that?

So, how do you buy everyday things?

Use cash that's been touched by God only knows who? Or tap buttons on the machine used by every finger licking, booger picking, credit card user in your state?

"Comingling" is part of the human situation.
Anybody who can totally self isolate doesn't matter to anybody else. Nobody will care that they're in isolation. They don't do anything important.

If you can honestly say that the world will get along without you personally then you aren't worth getting medical treatment.

Why would the rest of us care? Some machine can probably do everything you do, except use up food and air and such.

Seriously? You just posted...
This virus is nothing.
Perhaps you are infected and it's addled you short term memory.


Covid19 isn't particularly more dangerous than similar viral infections.

Ignorance is not a virtue, but to some, it seems, it is akin to bliss.

I go online to buy many things as I have done for years.
Months ago I started using Walmart online grocery shopping and pickup. I'd rather pick out grocery items on my screen than in the store because it's faster and more convenient.
As of this week, I choose items online and have them delivered.

The only buttons that get tapped are those on my keyboard.

Are you still stuck in the dark ages?

For most people this virus posses little threat. However, thay does not mean go out and party. Chances are it won't make you that sick. But if your elderly and have various complicating conditions, its a different story. Thats why we don't go out.

Ya gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. There is a time for comingling and there is a time for non-essential people to isolate to slow the spread of the virus. Didn't your Orange Idiot-In-Chief even say that?

Being unafraid doesn't mean you condone selfish reckless behavior. Looking at facts doesn't mean you downplay it. By far people have been far worse than this virus. Calm down, do what is asked of us, amd this will blow over in no time. But people go on about "me me me me" and it has enabled this virus to do its worst. Had people not been stupid and selfish things wouldnt have come to this.

So what of viruses that get dropped onto your items before delivery?

You really need to stop flipping around.
Im not. A part of the reason this is problematic is because many people are spreading it asymmetrically and subclinically. That means many people aren't getting sick enough to even consider going to a doctor.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Transmission
Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
How deadly is the new coronavirus? | Live Science
. Epidemiologists believe the total number of infections with SARS-CoV-2 is underestimated because people with few or mild symptoms may never see a doctor.
5 Things Everyone Should Know About the Coronavirus Outbreak
So far, information shows the severity of COVID-19 infection ranges from very mild (sometimes with no reported symptoms at all) to severe to the point of requiring hospitalization.
How deadly is the coronavirus?
Most cases of most viruses will go uncounted because people tend not to visit the doctor with mild symptoms.

Exactly, and we also should add that Trump said it would be gone by Easter and so many on the right believed him. He obviously didn't cause the virus, but his actions, and also the inept actions of many of the Republican governors, is insane and should be criminal. Why people actually believe in these "leaders" is beyond me.

And how many times did the likes of Fauci and Burke have to correct Trump in a way so as not to upset him?

Pathetic-- utterly pathetic.
