I was there...I dont remember hearing about it...in fact that summer I took a week long train trip to the West with my Dad and brother....
I do remember having perfect attendance at school for three years running around this time...
I never got sick, not even a lick.
I felt gypped.
The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.
This is going to hurt.

Masks do not stop viruses. Their only effective use is as a lucky charm talisman. 6 feet does not stop a virus. Gloves are improperly used, and will not stop viruses either, the way people are using them.
It is not any more transmissible than any other flu, and it's the same vectors for infection. Most people who get it don't even bother with a hospital it's so mild. The people who are dying are already dying from something else anyway.

No, that would be YOU. You are a classic case of agoraphobia. You believe masks actually stop a virus. You believe gloves actually stop infection the way you use them and remove them. You believe this virus is an automatic death sentence (it isn't).
It is because you are illiterate about virus, about the N95 specifications, about the use of nitril gloves, and about mathematics, which show the infection rate is quite low (not even qualifying as an epidemic, much less a pandemic). It is also going down. The death rate too is even lower, and is also going down.
Not a vaccine in sight.

It kills by interfering with respiration, if it kills at all. It is those with weak systems already that succumb to it. They are dying already. Quite a few deaths are marked as 'by Covid', when Covid is not involved at all. Several coroners have been falsifying records, a felony in some States, and they are getting sued for it. At this point, we don't know how many are infected, or how many 'died from' Covid, as opposed to something else. There are just too many instances that show these numbers are essentially random in nature (of type randU0.
Corona is much more transmissible and more virulent. Healthcare pros compare it to 1918 flu.
The rice-a-rona is not any more transmissible than any other flu. Most people show mild symptoms at most. My cousin (a nurse) and her husband (both are reasonably healthy as far as I am aware) contracted the rice-a-rona. They are both doing just fine, as is the case with most all people at their age and respiratory health status.
There is no reason to fear monger over this virus.

There is reason to believe that cities like Stockholm and London are approaching herd immunity and the figure is around 20% not 60%. The US Centers for Disease Control hardly a hotbed of libertarian nut jobs, announced last week: the infection fatality rate of Covid-19 is nowhere near 3.4 per cent as first feared, but around 0.26 per cent. Seasonal flu’s IFR is 0.1 per cent, 0.2 per cent in an especially bad year. Thus Covid-19 is barely more lethal than a bad flu.
Not three months, the first case was detected in December of last year. It's also not that new as it is an RNA virus very similar to SARS. They were developing a vaccine for that back in 2003 but it petered out, Farr's Law in play, and there weren't enough people to test it on. The same seems to be happening with this virus as well.
