It's a numbers game. 1:10 people will get the flu each year. 1:60,000 people have gotten COVID so far this year. COVID is 10-30x more likely to kill you. So if you get the flu 10-30 times in your life, that's like getting COVID once in terms of odds of dying. I think the rational argument is that since all of us will get the flu many times in our lives, the risk (at the moment) of dying from the flu is still far worse than COVID when you consider the odds of getting COVID. In fact, COVID cases would need to hit between 20-60 million worldwide before the death tolls would match the flu death tolls. We are so far from that number of infections that I think it makes sense to say we are still more at risk of dying from the flu because of how much more likely we are to even get the flu. Once you are sick, yes, COVID is 10-30x worse. BUT the odds are so stacked against getting it in the first place that the flu will still be the dominant killer.

In the end, it depends which odds you like better. Would you rather get the flu 30 times, or COVID once?

Flu, no doubt. So much uncertainty behind COVID-19 and such horrible ways to go/suffer- pneumonia, cytokine storms, encephalitis plus so much uncertainty of the permanent damage of even mild cases (only speculation now).

Now I do bet there’d be some lingering damage from the flu 30x; but every time I’ve had it, I feel fine after medicating

I don’t know if no one is actually reading the article or what but the game he worked was on the 22nd and it sounds like he just recently tested positive. Thats almost 2 weeks ago. So more than likely he wasn’t infected at the time or wasn’t showing symptoms.

I doubt he thought “Well I probably have coronavirus but i’m gonna go handle everybody’s food anyway”

Obviously that doesn’t make the situation better, I’m just saying.

What do we really know about a virus coming from China. Are they going to tell us anything if it makes them look bad! That would be a he!! NO. They will sugarcoat this thing even if it comes down to 10's of thousands or more of their citizens going 6 feet under. I honestly don't trust that government.

The incubation period for a virus is the time between catching the virus and showing symptoms of disease. For the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, health officials estimate an incubation period of between one and 14 days. Most people start showing symptoms about five days after becoming infected, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Some people say that going to work sick is just fine. Thankfully they aren't in any positions of influence.

By the time that a case is confirmed, it's likely that already been weeks since that person was infected. The incubation period before any symptoms begin can be a couple weeks and then the symptoms may not become severe enough to seek medical care for a couple more weeks. Additionally, infected individuals can be contagious and spread the virus during the incubation period which is what makes this virus so difficult to contain.

We're going to see some major changes to sports this year. The Olympics will likely be canceled. If we're lucky, professional sports will continue to play so that we can watch from home, but I expect them to be played in empty stadiums with all tickets canceled and additional precautions to prevent the players from infecting each other. Some of the biggest music festivals have already been canceled and sports will be next.

It’s not like this is some new virus. It’s been around for a long time and has never been a concern in the public eye.


Look on the back of a spray can of Lysol. It’s listed on the back as one of the 99.99% of germs and viruses it kills.


There’s THOUSANDS of viruses floating around that never get publicized and people die from them also. As most viruses and infections the majority or deaths are from people with weak immune systems like the elderly, babies, and the terminally ill. As most other viruses it has been floating around America for years. It’s not an epidemic, or an outbreak. Most of us would have already been in the hospital if it was really that dangerous.

Wrong, from the CDC...


A novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified. The virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.

To tie this a bit to the hobby - this will bring about the next recession, it is already starting. If you are in the hobby for $$, sell now.

Nowadays too many people are slaves to the headlines.

Big things are starting to get cancelled, whether its the right thing to do or not, and thats the big domino.
