You think that's cute? I'm 100% serious. Its mostly taking out the old..and I've heard a couple Democrats say that we should limit healthcare to the old because they're a drain on society. I'm only seven years from sixty so there's a chance I may not even survive it. I personally thought it was a valid point.

Yeah, I suppose a FB post from a "friend of a friend" is a reliable source of information. Come on people!! Mark, You're a smart guy.. The number of cases will double every 4 days if the experts are right. On the 6th it was estimated 500 to 600 cases in Seattle. Do the math . That is 32000 to 38000 by the end of the month just in Seattle. That means we will need 2500 to 3000 hospital beds by the end of the month just for virus patients. That doesn't take into account outlying areas. I'd say that guys warning would be a good thing to heed. Bruce, I agree with your math. However I think there are probably already thousands walking around that have been exposed who don't and won't ever show symptoms even though they carry the virus. We are all carrying around pathogens that have the potential to kill us if our resistance to them fails. We will see.

Lot of falsehoods in that FB post.
"First it is a flu" Corona viruses are responsible for colds, not flu's. 30% of all common colds every year are caused by viruses in the corona family and always have been.
"devastating when people get really sick they need weeks of ICU" Current estimates are 50-80% of those infected with CV (the current novel corona virus (there have been many over the years) aka Covid-19 aka SARS-CoV-2 aka 2019-nCoV) never seek treatment beyond over the counter flu and cold meds. Yes, the very, very few who get really sick occasionally need weeks of care. Usually due to having preexisting health issues or contracting secondary illnesses, such as pneumonia. Such people always need extra care. Most with CV will never be hospitalized, much less in ICU for weeks.
"Because of how fast and effectively it spreads." CV spreads much the same as ordinary colds and flu's.
"There is 2 week incubation period" Actual incubation period is 3-5 days like most colds and flu's. This myth got started because initial symptoms tend to be so mild as to be ignored for weeks.
That is something to watch for with CV: sneaks up on ya starting slow then building. Most colds and flu's are sprints. CV is more of a marathon.
"many who have it never show symptoms." Hey! Actually snuck a truth in there.
As a side note, it's interesting that there is a much larger panic over CV (currently between 0.7-1.7% CFR and even initially only thought to have a 3.4% CFR) than SARS (10% CFR), MERS (38% CFR) or Mediterranean corona virus (41% CFR). (CFR = Case Fatality Rate) Hmmm...

could it be so low in the US because the US took immediate action and banned travel instead of waiting weeks?

If it's only killing those over 60, the trapping community will be mostly extinct when it's all said and done.

I thought you were young guy trying to be cute with your remark. I'm 69 and have had several friends pass this year and I guess I am a little touchy . Seems like I made a mistake. Nope not being cute at all. Believe me when I say it. I have way too much grey in my beard to be joking. Just stating a fact that most of us are old or petrified. Most of the young are too lazy to do what we do.

This disease sounds like a cure for Social Security, pensions and Medicare problems. All because the old people don't wash their hands as often as the new generation.

Seen a meme that said people are so scared that you could rob a bank with just a booger on your finger.

There are more people killed in car accidents daily than all the deaths so far due to the Corona virus. Why is it they haven't outlawed cars?
