And sadly it's NOT wrong.
Covid-19 *respiratory* symptoms are flu-like (but not really, the harsh totally dry cough is typical of something else, cause your body use a "natural" mechanism in a wrong context and it's why you toss out
nothing - virus copies apart).
But there's more than the lungs involvement as I try to say.

To the comment about how I'm making you all look nuts.
Trumps approval is hovering around 45% and I disapprove. That means I'm left of 45% of the American public and you guys incidentally regard me as being so crazy far right that I have been repeatedly called a Nazi here (despite other members holding significantly more extreme pro-Palestinian views).
You all worried about that are so massively bubbled that you have absolutely no idea that you all (the pearl clutching ones, not everyone) are very far left.
You're looking at a guy who is in the left half of the population( and whose favorite journalist is an openly gay socialist) and thinking he's an extreme right winger. That's how far gone some of you are.

Apologies for double post but I'm on mobile.
I have heard of that. I checked the original document and it does indeed say that although anecdotal reports are all over the map. I don't trust the “fact checkers” because they've claimed as false things that are literally right there in the original document.
I don't think it matters much because nobody trusts the official numbers much anyway because the numbers are impacted by testing availability even before any numbers potentially get fudged.
I also don't read much into the “empty ER” videos because hospital admins are well aware of how that would look as well as the transmission risk and I would expect them to try hard to make sure waiting rooms stay clear.

That's quite the strawman you're arguing. You know why? Because actually, no one gives a hot shit what you think. Be left, right, middle, up and down or round and round, you're still irrelevant to anyone sane.

No, you're driving us all nuts with your harebrained idiot schemes, and your volatile mix of unearned arrogance and easily butthurtness is really fucking annoying to deal with. You're about a half step above the idiots who are running around the UK burning cell towers because they think 5G is killing people, and you contribute nothing to this thread. I deeply, deeply suggest you consider taking a step back, and quit posting the crap that you do, Tony. You're shitting on the conversation, and ruining it for the saner members here.
Lowenz, I know all you want to do is contribute to this thread. Like the rest of us, you're bored, stuck at home. You have the added detriment of living right in the midst of a crisis zone. Trying to figure this shit out is a good way to cope with all this. I can commiserate. But you're not being very constructive here, and you're taking things far too personally when your theories get questioned. Calm down. Take a step back. Breath. Come back once your calmer head has prevailed.

I'm perfectly calm and they're not "my" theories.

What the actual fuck are you doing, Wisconsin?

In the middle of a coronavirus pandemic, Wisconsin is voting on Tuesday.
Gov. Tony Evers (D) has repeatedly tried to delay the state's elections, citing fears that in-person voting could bolster the spread of coronavirus. But Wisconsin Republicans and the state's Supreme Court, which is controlled by conservatives, rebuffed Evers. Republicans also fought off Evers's efforts to mail ballots to every voter and allow ballots to be counted beyond the original April 7 election date.

It's simply a way to inconvenience a voter base unfriendly to them for simple petty shits and giggles. They'll say it's to prevent voter fraud, I'm sure.
