It's all Media Hype. Virus, Schmirus

in #news5 years ago (edited)

Corona Virus:

  • Declared global health emergency
  • British Airways, Aeroflot and other flight companies cancel trips to China, some for a month at least, Costing them untold millions
  • 66 million people (the entire population of the UK/France) completely quarantined and isolated
  • Companies run bankrupt nationwide, economy permanently damaged, particularly in places such as Hong Kong
  • Schools close down for weeks/indefinitely, causing more economic and educational damage
  • Mass hospitals built in days to cater to the overwhelming demand
  • Supermarkets run dry, delivery services cut off/canceled, people dying from lack of resources
  • Visas for Chinese nationals revoked worldwide, more untold millions in economic damages
  • Nurses and Doctors working so much over days without a single break that they are forced en masse to wear adult diapers so they can sh*t themselves while they work
  • Cases doubling every couple of days (though likely more than official stats let on)
  • 1,500 cases of either Critically ill or dead in a few weeks
  • Numbers of infected within a few weeks surpass SARS total over 9 months
  • Can transmit without symptoms, through pets, credit cards, breathing, and other unknown methods

Opinion piece writers with self-proclaimed doctorates in virology sitting at a safe distance:

'Nyeghhh, the flu kills more people, it's just media hype, Nyeghhh'

... right.

Sort:  

If the thing about the doctors wearing nappies so they can work crazy shifts and treat patients is true, isn't that a health hazard unto itself?

Yeah it's true, there's a lot of nurses and doctors sending out videos of their duties and life there, other footage of them totally freaking out and breaking down from either panic or exhaustion, it's pretty damn rough - and for sure not safe in more ways than just hygiene

Yeah, many doctors work too much. True.
