Q: WILL THIS DISEASE BECOME ENDEMIC, IS IT LIKELY TO BECOME SEASONAL?
I think there is a high likelihood this will become endemic and seasonal. Coronaviruses have probably been endemic and seasonal in human populations for hundreds of years, and we see this type of pattern with the “benign” coronaviruses that cause mild “colds” and other respiratory symptoms.

well yrs, corona virus isnt new, its this strain that new, it called 19 as it was first identified in 2019, it will probebly become endemic and ( more ) benign and be around for a long term to come, with have had the herpes virus for 5 milion years

Covid viruses are not new. Typically, Doctors have just diagnosed them as a respiratory virus and you treat the symptoms and let the virus run its course.

Covid-19 was just more harmful to the elderly and people with underlying conditions.

Coronavirus es aren’t new, and haven’t been claimed to be. They also haven’t been this deadly. This isn’t a conspiracy, but a new virus.

Paint a white horse grey and it is still a white horse. And yes, Everything around this virus is dripping with conspiracy.

Paint a white horse grey and it is still a white horse. And yes, Everything around this virus is dripping with conspiracy.

So, show some evidence. This is a new coronavirus, hence the frequently used term "novel coronavirus". That's pretty common knowledge. SARS was a similar coronavirus (technically, the novel coronavirus is a SARS virus: SARS-CoV2). The common cold is a coronavirus. "Coronavirus" simply describes the physical structure (it looks like it has a crown).

So, where's the conspiracy? And who, precisely, do you think is killing all these people, and for what reason?

 

[CB Jones]

The conspiracy is the handling of it.

There is a lot of money and power given out during the pandemics and disasters.

You mean the utter incompetence displayed by the trump administration?

It begs the question: who do you believe is getting wealthy over the pandemic, and how do you believe it ought to have been handled instead?

Do you agree that this is a dangerous virus that has been and continues to be deadly?

The money is in federal reimbursement for state and local agencies and increased budgets for certain departments. Plus notoriety for certain officials.

This goes on during all large emergency responses.

Do you agree that this is a dangerous virus that has been and continues to be deadly?

I agree that it is a deadly virus for the elderly and those with underlying conditions.

The Spanish Flu after the First World War -

The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.

Do you guys think we're going to match those numbers?

Unlikely. At the very least, medicine and knowledge are better today. I’d be interested in hearing from some scientists in a few years (when we know more) how this virus compares to t Spanish flu in infectiousness and mortality.

I will make the claim right now that when we look back 3-5 years from now and look at the REAL numbers the total death rates for 2019-2020 will not be much if any different from most other years. A seasonal spike and nothing more.
We have had a "new" respiratory illness that under any other circumstance would be considered a rougher year for the flu and life would have gone on a usual.
Using it as a political tool, a lot of powerful and pissed off liberal politicians have literally changed the economic/social landscape of the whole world.
I think this makes where I stand pretty clear. I am Way too busy for whiners.

I will answer a question with a question; what should have been done that would have made ANY difference?

its a poor relation, the Spanish flu was doing infected to dead in 3 or 4 hours.

reading today that the chance of catching corona in single exposure is 4000 to one, if you put 4000 on a train with one infected person with the SF, not many would walk off after a medium journey
