Assume a TENTH of a percent mortality (one could certainly claim a defensible 1%, but let's go with one tenth of that). So, your input is that 7,800,000 deaths is the best thing that could happen. Are you up for a troll of the week award or just a poster child for mental health? |

Vietnam has been very good at keeping infections down, also as of a few days ago they had no deaths, I think they may now have had just one. Thats a country of around 90 million people, population wise. Compare that to the US. Vietnam has a much higher population density than the US, also. Australia is similar culturally, but again, much much mucjh lower rates of infection and deaths. Why is it so high here? Its as if we are deliberately doing everything wrong. --- Quote from: jonovid on July 31, 2020, 03:51:51 pm ---what do you call an overreaction? not sick , not dying , not deceased , only 3 or 5 positive tests, wow mass panic, :scared: 80,000 tourists evacuated from a Vietnamese city because of only 3 or 5 positive cases. :o is this nonsensical human behavior, https://www.travelpulse.com/news/impacting-travel/around-80000-tourists-evacuated-from-vietnamese-city-due-to-coronavirus.html --- End quote --- |

They have now stopped watching the news entirely, it's just too depressing, it's just non-stop covid coverage, all of it just stoking fear. My mum said she'd just go insane if she watches a minute more of it. --- End quote --- Yes this is non-stop. But this is on some level even worse than during the peak period, when people were mostly confined. Sure that was also non-stop back then, but the situation was felt as exceptional. Why worse now IMO? Reason is simple - that was drastic, but most people were thinking this was just a temporary thing and were seeing this as kind of a "fight" period, after which we would have "won" and the whole thing would be over. That's called hope. Now were are in the second phase - we could call it the "chronic" phase. Every new case makes the headlines (barely exxagerating here). As the situation is getting "chronic", it's thus becoming unclear when or if this is ever really going to be over. Of course this is depressing. There's nothing worse than the loss of hope, and everything in the media kind of conveys that feeling. |
