I hate this mentality. Maybe the public should worried and be extra careful too.
Downplaying the dangers of reality is the line of thinking that created the Chernobyl disaster.
Lying about this to prevent a panic will literally cost people their lives as the virus spreads. You'd think we'd have learned this lesson but time and time again, when a crisis happens we make the same mistake over and over again.

No, I'm more worried that telling the truth and not mincing your words with the public will cause them to do genuinely insane shit. Like going round with guns robbing and killing people, raiding supermarkets, rioting. Shit that will actually cause society to break down.

What's best is to stress the seriousness of the virus and that it is life threatening, but not to give precise details of just how fucked things may or may not be. You need to keep some level of calm or else human civilization is not going to get through this.

There is no evidence of that ever happening. What actually happens is that people get stuck in their homes because they ignored the warnjngs and sometimes a random person gets shot by the police to prevent 'loiting' because they took the wrong bag of rice or something equally ridiculous.

In what way? Because an idiot that shook hands of those with COVID-19 managed to get and said idiot has plenty of underlying health issues which make him a prime target for severe infection.

Because if an immensely rich world leader cannot overcome a routine case of covid-19, even despite being prioritised by the NHS and all the stops being pulled out to save his life, then the common man does not stand a chance. Plenty of people will eventually get such a serious case and we will likely see hundreds of millions dead.

Every individual who ends up in ICU will get the treatment needed that should supposedly bring them through in the UK. Even being Prime Minister and wealthy only changes the fact they will monitor him more - the treatment is still the same irrespective. There are no known anti-virals or medicines that can reverse this or suppress it. He's moved to ICU, they give him the same standard of care but just keep an extra close eye - there is literally nothing more they can do more. How well he manages it is more down to his current co-morbidites and health - which aren't exactly fantastic for his age to begin with.

Is being prime minister of any country all that stressful? They have no backlog of work. They have no deparment of their own. Everything about the papers about how hard Prime Ministers have to work seems a bit of a myth put out by the Press Office. If you think about it: what do they have to do really?

Chair the cabinet: 2:30 hours per week.
Chair a couple of cabinet committees: 4 hours per week.
Answer questions on the House: 30 minutes per week.
Audience with the Queen on: 1 hour.
8 hours a week really.

Of course they have to read all the briefs, to rush from place to place, shaking hands with people. But other than that there's a lot of things people want you to do, lots of things you should do, a number of things you can do, but very few things you have to do. After that is all up to the you, you are the Boss.

[citation needed] conservatard. the only outlets I know to have downplayed this shit are Fox et al. and this wasn't long ago in the past, but in some ways continues to this day (of course they have been trying to spin as of late the federal government's response and the projected numbers of 100k-250k deaths as some sort of miraculous achievement). I haven't heard of any major news agencies other than Fox preparing to be sued due to misinformation

here, I've google "coronavirus distration from impeachment inquiry" between the dates of Dec 1 and Feb 29:

https://www.google.com/search?q=coronavirus+distraction+from+impeachment+inquiry&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A12%2F1%2F2019%2Ccd_max%3A2%2F29%2F2020&tbm=

or you can do a search yourself. find an article that makes the claims that you say, because I can't, nor do I remember any agency saying that. good news reports facts, and downplaying a virus isn't a fact, it's an opinion.

searching "coronavirus meant to hurt trump" with a similar timespan

https://www.google.com/search?q=coronavirus+meant+to+hurt+trump&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A12%2F1%2F2019%2Ccd_max%3A2%2F29%2F2020

look at the results. there's a _lot_ more evidence of my claim that conservative media was trying to downplay the virus as an attempt to hurt Trump, politicizing a public health issue.

Pretty fair I think, he's personally wealthy and also leading one of the world's more well developed nations, he didn't appear to be in ill health prior to becoming infected except that like most politicians he's overweight but not morbidly so. I mean it's still possible he could die, a very small portion of infected people with no apparent comorbidities have died but on the whole they don't, he could have comorbidities the public doesn't know about, he'd be in much more danger if he's had previous heart or kidney disease.

He's right though, maybe not with that specific claim re impeachment but the ideological lines about the virus changed dramatically sometime around February/early March.

In January I remember the only places even talking about coronavirus were fringe right-wing networks, 4chan, and doomer subreddits like r/collapse. Back when it was known as the "China flu". The left were discouraging talk of it as being a disinformation campaign that was racist against Chinese people.

Sometime around mid February, the dialogue started to shift. The right hatched the idea that it was a plot to hurt Trump, or the more libertarian angle that it is being overplayed to suppress personal freedoms.

Now its almost entirely lefties I see that are being most doomer about the virus. The "leftist blackpill" (same crowd as climate change doomers) caught on to the seriousness of the virus and now they are the main people who are dismissing any good news as "Trump/Boris disinformation". Ironically they'll be the same ones cheering if Boris or Trump dies from this thing.

My recollection of February, was me panicking and telling everyone the virus is a big problem, and everyone I know saying "its nothing" and "its just the flu". Then Trump acted like its nothing on TV, and now everyone thinks its a problem (which it is).

I went to the doctors office like 7 times and brought up Coronavirus each time with the medical staff I was visiting. Each time it was "Its just the flu". They didnt fucking know, but they acted like they did.

Fuck this "Orange Man Bad" attitude. _You_ should have known. How is it Trumps fault? Everyone, including Trump, way underestimated the virus. So now we have a problem and its Trumps fault everyone fucked up so bad? Its Trumps fault you failed to anticipate this problem, and prepare for it?

You fucked up, and Trump fucked up, but you can at least improve yourself. You can at least take some responsibility.

My greatest fear is he made a deal with republican senators of basically: "we're gunna let this outbreak happen, and if you vote NO to impeach me I'm gunna make sure you get the medical supplies you need" Basically using the pandemic to secure his impeachment trial.

SARS, Ebola and MERS were absolutely worse than Corona-chan, they just were contained earlier on thanks to those people "crying apocalypse". So you literally owe your life to the people concerned about these diseases and working to contain them. SARS has a 30% death rate compared to COVID-19's 1%.

H1N1 wasn't worse than COVID-19 or even the regular flu, which became known around the third month of the epidemic, hence there were very few restrictions and no lockdowns during the 2009 pandemic.

Yeah but the overall deathrate from H1N1 was only 0.09% which is roughly on par with the flu or less. This became known halfway through the 2009 pandemic. There was an early panic generated by H1N1 during the early months but it is a million light years away from the situation of COVID-19 today, there were no lockdowns, no worldwide travel bans, just a few countries that barred travel from Mexico and a few schools closed, befitting its status as a much milder disease.

It is clearly Trump's fault who went on TV multiple times and assured the sheep of the right wing that this was nothing and would go away soon.

that's exactly the opposite of what he needs tho

I hope he doesn't, but obviously he will.
He really ruined things for me with that brexit thing. This is just how i feel truly. I wouldn't say it out loud in public. He doesn't deserve to die obviously but i would be slightly happier for a moment if he did. The more weak you are the more schahenfroude.

Am I a bad person ?

You people are fucking retarded. I’m so glad this disaster is more likely to kill those who don’t believe in it.

Are you Chinese by any chance?

I mean if my assumption is correct I suppose you wouldn’t tell me. I’m just starting to think this 5G thing is a conspiracy theory pushed by a foreign power.

You need to spend decades first to make the masses intelligent enough for intelligent response. But current elites stand no chance for being elected by people like that, so here you go.

Congratulations, you have been promoted to the rank of "Useful Idiot" in the eyes of the CCP. You mistook what was fake and easily faked for what was real and now your only imagined "solution" is music to the CCP's ears. Cui bono?

Fortunately people with better critical thinking skills will make sure the CCP's dystopia will never become reality, and you should pause for a moment and consider that no matter how much mindfuckery goes on in our open societies they are still a fucking paradise compared to the hellhole that the CCP wants to create worldwide.

lack of oxygen causes brain damage

the core of that report seems to be that the lack of oxygen is not as lung-centered as thought before, but that the failure of delivering oxygen to tissues is more about what happens to the blood cells that transport oxygen.

oh fuck off, retard. the mental stability of the west went to shit and can only come back after people learning the hard way of the stupidity hee have committed by embracing post modernism and other relativistic stupidity. you can't hold a civilization together when the base of society is more worried about waiting to kill each other tan to kill their leaders that sold them out to the chinese.
you cuckservatives and the faglibs will get both of your shit kicked in for pushing for anti-freedom laws while politicians laughs at your ass for defending them while they sell you out to the next country with cheaper labor
