You my frien are an example of over reacting. My first line was yes it is bad.

Your rant here is just another over reaction. We have had many virus scares, we will get thru this but your rant is meaningless to solving the problem.
And your comments are based on nothing of fact, irresponsible, and not only meaningless, but dangerous if anybody else adopts your approach. You can lead a horse to water .......

Bad things don't just pass. Actions make them pass.

So what actions are you going to do to make it go away, lol? Making a bunch of noise and over reacting does nothing. That's all I am trying to say just shut up and things will eventually work out.

I never said not to be sensible, just not get crazy

Read the CDC guidelines, lead by example, and put forth info based on facts and science. That's all I am trying to say, just shut up and things will be worked out. End of conversation. LOL

Some providers left their parlors heading to Flushing due to crazy virus outbreak AND their strong emotional and financial support system in Flushing. They will be back to their routines after things settle down. The question will be when.

Sorry, Wayne, but "yes it is bad" does not quite capture the scale of this mess. Especially when you lump it in with other minor outbreaks we've dealt with in the past, and when you point to only a few cases nearby so far. Angela Merkel, hardly a histrionic world leader, thinks up to 70% of Germans will get the disease. If the mortality rate is even half the current estimate of 3%, that's more than a million deaths in Germany alone.

It's hard to see how any amount of posting, talking, reminding is "over-hyping" a potential disaster on that scale.

I don't deny that there is some chance you are right--namely, that this will turn out to be less of a catastrophe than the scientists think it will be. But in this case, I think the smart thing to do is err on the side of extra precaution, and that includes making sure everyone is aware of how serious this may be, and that they are doing everything possible to slow down the spread of the disease.

If you are in good health, Corona is not much different than the flu. Of course, if someone has a compromised system or other underlying issue, then Corona can be deadly just like the flu. There are confirmed cases of Corona in the United States, but then again their are confirmed cases of Tuberculosis also. We take a gamble everytime we go out in public.
Have you taken a look at what is happening in Italy...I know people over there..the country is overwhelmed...and the whole country on lock down..we are headed that way

I'm not a corona denier. I understand the large group gatherings and traveling around the country in a tube. I'm a small business owner hoping this passes. I wish it was May 1st already....
Good luck...we all need it...I work for a luxury hotel in Manhattan...40 percent of employees lay off...plan for a later date of things getting back to normal...there is no vaccine

Just take a look at Italy..it has not passed them ...we are six weeks behind...All major business understand that this is not just a passing thing. what makes us Americans different from other countries.that leads you to say nothing serious will happen here..we have same immune system..most of those countries have a better health care system than we do..I think fear has people with their head in the sand...

Instead of making all this noise, do something positive. I have talk to several providers/spas to suggest they close ahead of even a forced closure. A couple have closed. Your noise over abd over does nothing positive.
