| #16 back in Feb-Apr, I was worried that the Wu would devastate the homeless population when it got here because so many of the homeless used drugs, alcohol, etc. but as it turned out, I was completely wrong - the homeless have very low case fatality rates - apparently, the diseases they have already encountered have conferred some sort of immunity Me too, especially among the ones who do inhalation drugs like meth. Makes me think that the distancing and actual isolation is doing more harm than good, allowing the immune system to atrophy and make them more susceptible to not just china cough but everything. |

| #12 is the goal to never spread a virus that from what we can tell has a transmission rate of just about any other virus? and has a mortality rate of just about any other virus? |

| #11 Haven't heard the "Bring out your Dead!" cries yet so I'll remain skeptical on the wildfire. |

| #10 Wuhan skeptic? In reality the renowned public knob, St Anthony of Fauci made me a skeptic decades ago with this identical reaction to the AIDS 'epidemic'. Remember how 'everybody is at equal risk', remember the summer when 'this airborne disease constitutes such a public hazard that everybody should endeavor to remain indoors except for absolute necessity'? I do. Whatever else, do NOT quarantine the already sick, and most vulnerable. No, none of that. Shut the whole thing down, until, oh who the Hell knows anyway, and small matter since rules are for the little people. #9 Don't bother. You aren't the first Israeli I've ever heard from and the problem with the Orthodox is the original pre-existing condition which really does not have a universal application. |

| #9 #7,8 You know I didn't mean you. I mean the ideologically motivated. p.s. Right now, in Israel, we're seeing what happens when you let religious fanatics, lumpen-libertarians, and short-term economic considerations dictate pandemic policy. |

| #8 Instead of telling us the truth, they chose to lie to us in order to manipulate us to do what they wanted us to do. Case in point: CDC claiming masks didn't protect people in order to hoard masks for their own staff. We all saw it happen and now their credibility is shot. They're simply untrustworthy. They can and will lie to us if they think the outcome is worthy enough. |

| #7 There are skeptics and then there are skeptics. We have had a unacceptable amount of GIGO as far as data goes. The health professionals and government bureaucrats have killed a lot of credibility in this event. It's hard to make reasoned decisions and take reasonable actions when too many choose to scream fire in a crowded theater. |

| #6 ^Exactly - that's why I no longer try to reason with you and your fellow covid-sceptics. |

| #4 or perhaps it's just not that deadly for the age group and lots of taxpayer's money was wasted putting them in hotels here in boristan. |

| #3 ^It's like turf wars among gangs. They already have so many pathogens that Johnny Came Lately has no chance. |
