Exactly my thoughts, he's a beast online. On February 28 2020 17:45 Haukinger wrote: So is there anybody in his right mind who'd say we couldn't do well with 2% less people? Remember you cannot select which 2 % will die. It won't be just mass murderers and generally evil people  3 my grandparents died in 2 years and that were very shitty 2 years. And remember mostly old people die from COVID. | ||

The true risks and numbers will be clear soon enough. Too bad the vaccine is still a few months down the road, I am not looking forward to this continued mass scare. | ||

If you have better sources than WHO post them. | ||

That said, it's not about the death rate. But I won't explain why again because many people have in here before, so if you just wanna downplay the virus because of a low death rate, go on. | ||

And no, there is no need to panic - but yes, there is a need to take measures, which governments & health organizations are doing. Hopefully that would help to contain the epidemic. | ||

That is what could happen if an epedemic is going unchecked. | ||

Leading causes of death in the low income countries which can be prevented or lowered HIV/AIDS Diarrhoeal diseases(you would be surprise how many children die from this) - these are, BTW, completely preventable Malaria Tubercolosis Birth asphyxia and birth trauma Most of these are nonexistant in the west but west have their own issues. | ||

I would be livid if I traveled all the way to Poland and then got surprised at the last minute by something like this. I bought a ticket and got 2 e-mails at 2 am that refund info will be provided next week. So seems to be they indeed will refund the ticket, but not travel costs obviously | ||
