Coronavirus Facts and Fiction - January - May 2020 [Closed]

The only thing all this fear mongering is going to do is tank the world economy. After reading numerous stories from people that have recovered they all say the same thing, it’s no worse than the regular seasonal flu that they get every year

While that’s true there are some additional things to consider. Many people (myself included) get vaccinated for the flu which keeps it from spreading as fast as CV is spreading. Those who are elderly or in mortal danger of the flu, can get vaccinated against it.

Also, we are currently at risk of both viruses which puts additional strain on the hospital system.

I’m not sure yet if people are overreacting. I’m skeptical that it’s as bad as some say, but I’m not sure it’s as harmless as others say :thinking:

Conversely, the one’s who have not recovered have nothing to say.

Was out for a bit and stopped by the local Scheels (I never used to go there)…The 9mm ammo section was out of what I wanted so I had to buy some brands and types that normally I would not purchase. Spoke with a nice older salesman (about my age…LOL), and he said that since last week, it was impossible to keep the stock up.

Got plenty of JHPs and now some ball ammo too. If it comes to that…Ball will do the job too.

LOL This sounds like fear and loathing, Corona Virus edition.

I lived in Tampa area for about 12 years and saw about 4 serious hurricanes in that time. Got sorta used to the panic and empty shelves. I hope the panic here is equally unfounded and clears up just as quickly, but who knows…

That won’t detect electromagnetic radiation in case that’s what you’re wanting it for.

That’s for detecting radioactivity not radio frequency.

considering the data i unless you’re in one of the at risk groups panic and fear are pointless

This is the real problem with this

Now if you’re in one of these groups or have something similar then your worry is legitimate if you’re in the bottom group and are freaking out you should be ashamed
