Coronavirus - how much do you worry ?

[kenya]

They are already reusing masks, sterilizing them somehow for reuse. Not sure how maybe autoclave?

Not sure where to begin, so much that could be commented on. Before I rant I want to state the US has already began sterilizing their PPE equipment. The FDA approved hospitals to be outfitted with units that can do 40,000 masks at a time.
The real question in all this is at what price we are willing to keep our freedoms. Face it, right now we have lost all rights, history has proven many times once they are lost they are extremely difficult to get back without a fight. Everyday this continues we move a step closer to a global society that will control your every move. If Trump does not win re-election it may already be too late. He is one of only a handful of world leaders seeing this, the rest are led blindly like sheep to the slaughter.
In my province hospitalization from the virus has not exceeded 1 per 10,000 to this point, 1 in 20,000 per icu patient but almost all our rights have been stripped. I have no problem with some controls but the truth is the daily death rate in Canada in 2019 was 7.758% per 1000 which is many times greater than the hospitalized patients from the virus. Time to swing the pendulum back a notch or too before it's too late.

The other that makes me fear for humanity is: 5G towers are reactivating a virus inside us-that one almost made me cry out of losing hope for humanity. Who ARE these people? HOW has natural selection not naturally selected them yet??! And HOW on earth do they come up with this stuff? I mean, these people have such wonderful imaginations they could make serious money making movies, or writing science fiction novels! and they're wasting their talents by burning down 5G towers in europe????

I have unfortunately had some interactions with people who believe this. Hounding me "to do my research" . I have come to the conclusion that they are, all of them, undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenics or are smoking wayyyy too much cannabis, or a bit of both.

OK now not worrying at all about covid19 because I'm watching DH ride round the garden on the bike somone gave him to fix up - no helmet, bald tyres, wet grass.

I have that one!

You should have no rights if you put thousands of other lives at risk! Sorry but that's the truth, if this pandemic is not stopped cold then see where your world will be, your rights will mean nothing. You are lucky right now that you have only a few cases, look around you that's where they all started out like .

[WLLady]

yes @kenya they found that a specific autoclaving protocol (certain temp, humidity, pressure) will effectively sterilize the masks for use again as long as they are still intact and haven't ripped or frayed. Which is good....because they need all the help they have!

"The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.”
Just sayin'

The common flu virus kills thousands every year. Are you willing to trade everything you have done in your life to have a redo?
Start over in a totally restricted society. Think of all the things you were allowed to do but never should have.

There is no comparison between the flu and covid 19
