    Today everyone is overreacting. Next year we didn’t overreact enough

    It’s a no win scenario. People don’t wanna sacrifice a little today for the future. But they gonna want their government check next year

    That’s not entirely true.
    Most who catch this virus survive and a lot of people who have had it report that it is no worse than a bad cold or the flu.
    It is not a death sentence.

    What I can’t find out for sure is that if one recovers is it gone forever and that person will never have to worry again about it? That’s what I wanna find out for sure.

    If so. Then lock up everyone at risk and let everybody go

    It can’t be that simple. But it may

    In that regards think of the flu, this is a virus, it mutates every so often. How fast, not sure, YET. So yeah you'll be immune to the strain you got, just like you are with a strain of the regular flu. But, just like the regular flu, it mutates often enough that in 6 months/a year, you'll be getting hit with a different strain. So you'll catch it.

    Is it dormant in the recovered person or can it be reactivated on its own device? In other words, can a recovered person spread it at a later date?

    right now, supposedly, 14 days after the fever is gone you are no longer contagious. This is the latest numbers on the spread.

    upload_2020-3-23_16-29-44.png upload_2020-3-23_16-29-44.png

    Mortality Rates
    4% world
    1.3% US
    4% China
    7.8% Iran
    9.5% Italy
    And Italy supposedly has a better healthcare system than ours.

    It’s almost like shingles for some older folks. If they had the chicken pox when they were kids then they’re susceptible to shingles later on.

    Um yeah that is fake news. NPR already had him on this morning, he went into self-quarantine as soon as he knew.
