Yeah, no, I was just exaggerating. But I feel like if you were infected bad enough, with how badly it impacts the lungs as is that it could theoretically make you cough up blood.CabriniGreen wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:19 pmWell, the reports were that they mapped the entire genome in like a couple weeks, which I thought a little suspicious, but I'm paranoid, lolPeppermint wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 10:58 pmI think the people who say that, like yourself are ignorant as fuck. Unlike the common cold, or the flu, which actually have drugs designed to specifically treat them, vaccines that are released and updated every 6 months, over the counter remedies that soothe the symptoms, and while yes the common cold is caused by a type of coronavirus. This one, literally no one knows anything about at all, no one is even entirely sure how it entered the human genome so effectively. Plus, it’s highly contagious, and those infected can spread it without showing any symptoms, it’s also aggressive adapts to its environment, which is why spring and summer coming will change nothing, look at how much worse it is in warmer regions like Iran.Bklyn21 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 10:36 pmIMO I think it lasts another 2 to 4 weeks , This is insanity these people going nuts on something that is no worse than the common coldCabriniGreen wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 10:26 pm On a serious note, how long you guys think this will last?
Or a better question, how long can the leagues, and casinos, and TV stations like ESPN and all the sports dedicated networks hold out?
Before the damage is irreparable? Or am I being dramatic?
By all means, take it with as much ease and be as care free as you like. But when your lungs feel like they’re on fire and you’re coughing up blood and pieces of your lungs because it developed into pneumonia, you’ll remember me and what I told you and wish you played into the panic too.
Anyway, never going away. Welcome to the new normal boiz
@Peppermint
But not that fuckin paranoid lol...
This is my question.... take Trudeaus wife, the Utah Jazz Players, Tom Hanks, okay?
They are going to die a painful, agonizing death, right? But it doesnt seem like that's the case, or that it's even a signifigant worry. It seems like they are expected to recover in about, what, 2-3 weeks maybe?
So is it a cold, or no? I've read the reports on cases in Illinois, there was a couple in their 50s I think, had it for 2 weeks, now have no symptoms. Is this like, a normal reaction for the average person?
Seriously, where did you hear this coughing up blood thing? Like is that real or are you exaggerating?
Tom Hanks is a serious concern, he’s in his 60’s and is a diabetic. Chances are he’ll be fine, because filthy rich celebrity. Same with any other celeb, athlete or politician that is in good health, and not elderly.
My fear isn’t wide spread death, it’s infection rate, and adaptability. This is going to be an on going problem, that eventually is going to make the flu look like nothing. We very well may understand it’s genome, and I could see why we did so quickly. Because we already know of other Coronaviruses; common cold, mers, sars. But unlike this Coronavirus, we actually understand those other ones have treatments for them, vaccines, over the counter drugs, etc. I fear this, because of the impact it’ll have economically but more so our day to day lives, and society as a whole. Other than death, and spreading to your pets and killing them too. It’s a virus, that makes people sick enough, that it can cause nations to collapse. Sure, you can recover in two weeks. But that means nothing, you won’t be magically immune, with no treatments what so ever. You will catch it again, and the second time around it’ll be worse because it’ll have adapted to your immune system and hit you harder than before.
Perfectly healthy people have died, not many but they have and they are increasingly so, slowly but more younger healthier people are starting to die. Like any virus this one is capable of evolving and already has considering its ability to spread at a consistent rate regardless of it’s environment’s climate, which is unusual because respiratory illnesses aren’t supposed to thrive in warm climates.
Honestly I could go on and on, and I already have in the general forum, in a thread called “Coronavirus in Italy” where this in-depth discussion about the virus would be more appropriate.
