A reality check on the corona virus reactions.

There are no shortages. I am in the grocery industry. The only problem is that the hoarding overwhelmed supply lines. If people would stop panicking and acting like hysterical lemmings, there is plenty for EVERYONE. ;)

This isn't about supply and demand; it is about hysteria promoted by a media and political party that don't give a shit about anything but political power.

Increase in demand (outward shift in the demand curve): For example, a sudden heatwave leads to an unexpected demand for energy that cannot be met.
Decrease in supply (inward shift in supply curve): For example, an unexpected freeze results in the destruction of orange crops leading to a drastic reduction in the supply of orange juice.
Government intervention: Shortages can also be the result of government-imposed price ceilings.
Textbook definition of a shortage. Doesn't matter if it's rational or not, it's still a shortage and now in week 3 a self perpetuating one.

And yet, it did not overwhelm China which was the epicenter and a third world shit hole.

Nope, it didn't.

I suspect the Communist bosses were glad to get rid of a few people.

The Chinese have so little regard for human life that they practice infanticide - not just abortion, they kill baby girls by the million because it's their culture.

And DEMOCRATS side with them.
 
Wrong! The first case was identified on Jan 20th! What is 5428 divided by 54 the average is more than 100 per day. As to the death rate we are lucky so far there have been 824 deaths or 1.5% of those infected. I really do not understand how you can down play the seriousness of this. Shit man our medical people along with the medical people around the world all agree! I guess you know something the medical community and the rest of us don't. Let me guess you think this is a scam.

Wrong; first case in Washington State was estimated to have arrived on January 15th (I was off by ONE day). He arrived at an urgent care clinic January 19th. WTF is wrong with your brain? It's gone FULL retard over this NOTHING BURGER. :rolleyes:

We have had 15,111 deaths from flu in the same timeline with only 544 dead of Corona in the US. What is 544 divided by 308 million? Good lord; stop flailing and THINK.

On January 19, 2020, a 35-year-old man presented to an urgent care clinic in Snohomish County, Washington

He disclosed that he had returned to Washington State on January 15 after traveling to visit family in Wuhan, China.

If it is necessary for you to think of me as a "heartless cunt" in order to feel good about the horse shit you are spouting...please feel free to do it with my blessings.

I am simply inviting you assholes who think there is nothing wrong with simply lifting the quarantines against the advice of goddam near every medical specialist...to LEAD THE WAY. If you are so sure this will not lead to worse things...just do it.

What could possibly go fucking wrong?

Yet this Nobel Laureate says otherwise

Story at a glance


Michael Levitt analyzed data from 78 countries that have reported more than 50 new infections each day and found signs of recovery.
Levitt received the 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing complex models of chemical systems.
The Nobel laureate accurately predicted the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in China.
A Nobel laureate and Stanford biophysicist estimates the United States may see a downturn in new coronavirus cases sooner than health experts have predicted, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Stanford University biology professor Michael Levitt, winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry, said his models do not support predictions the coronavirus will stick around for months or years and cause millions of deaths. He says the data do not support such an extreme scenario.

“What we need is to control the panic...we’re going to be fine,” Levitt told the Los Angeles Times.

Levitt previously predicted accurately when China would get through the worst of its COVID-19 crisis. The Nobel Prize winner predicted China would peak around 80,000 cases and 3,250 deaths. He was not far off, as China has reported more than 81,000 cases with more than 3,200 deaths.

Levitt said he can see a better outcome in the U.S. than what has taken place in China, Italy or Iran, especially with social distancing measures in place. He said social-distancing mandates are critical in cutting the number of coronavirus cases.

Again, we do not have a toilet paper shortage, a Paper towel shortage, a disinfectant shortage, pasta or frozen foods shortage. What we have is HOARDING by people who have been scared into hysterics.

Trying to suggest otherwise makes you look stupid.
