Sorry, I should have been more direct to saym14, my question was rhetorical, but what i meant was "go start a fcking thread on "Covid-19 is a hoax" and don't ruin the RA thread with your political conspiracy theories"
Sorry, I didn't digress until I got dog-piled by a couple of snow-flakes that were worried about their "safe space". Just keep watching and believing everything CNN is telling you. It's become a logistical nightmare JUST GETTING TO RAPTOR SCHOOL because of this flu BS. So then, this IS about Raptor School as I'm not going "for now" due to the politically correct, sniveling safe space crowd has made it almost impossible to travel. They've cancelled the recption because of this BS, so again, this IS about Raptor school.
On the grand scale of the entire North American population, this disease is NOT that much of a threat. The coronavirus actually is quite contagious but it is not as deadly as originally presented by the media. T
he four studies published so far suggest a survival rate of 99.4% - 99.8%. If you are not elderly or have a condition making you an "at risk" candidate, it's the flu. PERIOD. The ONLY purpose of wearing a face mask is so that if you are "hot" and cough or sneeze you do not infect those around you. The face mask does absolutely nothing to protect you from exposure. Not understanding that fact will cause you to be over confident and not take proper precautions.
I'm not sick, so I'm not wearing a mask. If that makes you feel unsafe, stay home in your moms basement. 10 time more Americans die of obesity every year than will die of this flu. I'm over 50 (Gen-X), so technically I'm "at risk". I'm going to go live my f-ing life. If I get this flu, then so be it. Even my 90 year old retired USMC father agrees that it's time to stop the BS and move on.
OK... I'm done now unless it starts snowing again.
