I wonder how many homeless people are gonna die from this virus

[gkozbwp]

“The virus will infect you no mater what country you come from.”




laughs in greenland

[charlesvandenburgh]

It's the mutation of something we don't understand; that is the concern.

[ldfghdosivuuhnbvo]

I'm disappointed in all the comments. Not one person mentioned how thanos is trying to remove half of us

[dfrodney]

Journal your symptoms. Health workers will value you for making their job more effective.

[orome]

Ten times higher "Slightly higher than the seasonal flu". SMH

[Mia-bheb]

The real scare is the possibility of another recession ...

[keeskloost]

Especially many older, vulnerable people will die.

[lurkingshadow]

Me an Asian: Sneezes and blows nose.

Other people: He has the coronavirus! *runs away*

[DavidJ]

Trump actually thought he could con the coronavirus into thinking that it wasn't real, so that maybe it would just disappear.

[davidhefner]

I would stay away from McDonalds along major highways. As they have more travellers.

[derek]

Now am scared. With my asthma I will die if I catch Corona. Half huh 😳 I can't die now

[MHiggins]

We are facing a crisis unlike anything we have faced in our lifetimes. The Iraq war was a crisis but it was in Iraq. The Syria war is a regional crisis but it’s in Syria and isolated to that country. The migrant crisis is on the southern border and its isolated there. These crisis have virtually no impact on our lives. This crisis is extremely severe and will directly impact our lives here for the foreseeable future. There is no immediate solution.

[grahamdrew]

CAN'T DO MUCH IF THERE ARE NO TESTS ....if only there was a pandemic response team trained to deal with such things....

[JohnSmith-dqdx]

Coronavirus: Yea I'm kinda a big deal now
Employer: I identify as an ostrich, I know nothing

[ilikeboxing]

If you got a low immune system your at risk

[brothatsdj]

0.1 percent multiplied by 10 is only 1 percent.. like do these people think we’re idiots??

[lindapindabelinda]

The death rate in Italy is currently 8 percent because their health system is overwhelmed. Please start using accurate numbers.

[ATLbench]

When they introduce the vaccine, how many of y’all will get it ?

[daniels]

1 percent mortality is very conservative. It’s around 3.4 percent. So far in Italy it’s been closer to 6 percent if you do the math.
