Just two questions: If you had to pick one of the two, which category are you in?

COVID-19: Hoax or serious?

Second question: How old are you?

Serious

37

Thanks for your response.

1 in the serious category, age 37.

Serious, 52.

Thank you.

Serious.

116 years old.

C. Real, but overblown.


41

Thanks. I didn't know you were that old sir. I'll try to not fu cking cuss so much in your presence out of [bleep] respect for the f u c king elderly.

are the numbers low because this was overblown? or are the numbers low because Americans took it seriously and self quarantined?

both sides can claim they are right

I needed to hear some doom and gloom to take this seriously. I'm glad I did.

serious, 50's

If you had to pick one of the two:

is the OP an idiot or a genius?

Thanks.

Serious - and seriously overhyped.

Completed 73 solar orbits.


( With what I've already survived, this doesn't scare me a whole damn lot.)

22.116 US deaths in 45 days. My vote serious.

Marmot.

Question 1: It isn't a hoax because it exists and it is killing people but I believe it is being overblown. On a planet with a population of 7.8 billion people we have a daily death number of over 154,000 per day, this isn't as deadly or as serious as the media makes it out to be.

Question 2: 56 years old

I don't accept my choices.

43 years old - bad virus if you are one of the minority that has it and doesn't have the minor symptoms. Massive over reaction in how we're approaching the response given that reality. Which has been my point the whole time - it's a bad virus, yep, been here longer than January for damned sure, yep, overreaction in how we've gone about things in the last 6 weeks, yep.

So I don't know where I fall exactly in the answer/tally.

I do know 2 nurses and 4 people that work at hospitals. All have had hours cut significantly because we simply are NOT seeing sick people like the models say we should. Flattened curve taken into consideration as well.

I know of one whose background is heavy in infectious diseases - should be working like crazy, just cut back to 16 hours a week. WI tavern league figures the shut down will close about 2000 bars/restaurants in this state alone. They simply will not open. So 2000 businesses closed because 30 people died in this state. That's the overreaction.

This is where I come down. Not in a high-risk category, age or otherwise.

Also not going to bitch about it (Not aimed at you EE) on the internet non-stop until it's over.

Serious if you are older, a smoker, or morbidly obese.


Me, not so serious but respect the fact that it could mess other folks up.

As of the Marmot post Serious=5 with a Mean age of 53.
