Corona Virus, How Has It Affected Your Area So Far?

It's about as much a 'movie' as ffxi patches are 'content updates'.

(it's not a "new" "movie", it's just a joke, it's mostly redubbed B-movie with some corona related news clips thrown in)

Looks like he had a jam related accident.

The death rate is unknown, because most people who have the virus have no to minor symptoms. The only reason the quarantine happened in the first place was because they were afraid the hospitals could not cope with the number of elderly patients potentially getting it.

If a leftist government was in control the lockdown would last for literally years, they are the babying parties. Most people want to be treated as adults, they know the social distancing rules and they don't want to waste their lives under house arrest.

Quarantine should always be around the sick and the infirm.

Ultimately, the governors make the decisions so democrat led states gonna be in lockdown a long time.

Also; everyone is so focused on assuming healthy people will be fine just because youre not likely to die

Hot spots erupt in farm belt states where governors insist lockdowns aren’t needed

Cases in parts of the heartland are starting to spike, raising concern about new hot spots that could quash Trump’s push to reopen the economy.

260% increase in South Dakota?

It's not "dishonest reporting" to say that South Dakota had a 260% increase in cases. It happened. The report is accurate.

It's dishonest to say 260% when you went from 50 cases to 130 cases.

It's misleading, and nowhere in that article does it show actual data, like the number of cases so far in South Dakota.

Protip: There are just as many cases in Travis County than there are in the entire state of South Dakota.

It's not "dishonest reporting" to say that South Dakota had a 260% increase in cases. It happened. The report is accurate.

The initial nationwide lockdown was done because they feared hospitals could not cope (they had insane projections that have since been scaled way back), that is now passed to most places because everything has been stepped up and we know most places have very few cases / spread out populations. Many hospitals are near deserted compared compared to normal patient counts due to people being locked in their houses and so not having normal accidents. There has to be a point when things go back to normal, the longer this goes on the more damage is done to peoples lives, their mental health, the economy and many other things. People are starving, businesses are going under.

Mew York, London? Sure, lock those places down as long as the governors / mayors want. Year, two years? Sure if you want, nobody will stop you. Country towns, small rural states? No, this is totally unacceptable babying well beyond the risks. People know about social distancing, people know to wash their hands, shops can limit how many people enter, etc etc That's enough for these places, anyone with any fear can still stay at home just fine.

Where I live there are so few cases you would not even know there was a problem at all unless you were told on the internet or TV, yet my entire town is locked down, most shops are closed, the only way to see a doctor is by phone...mainly because of London. The same applies to the US due to New York and some other states.

In the US, each states governors makes the final decision. If you live in a Democratic state, you're going to be enjoying long term lockdowns because their leadership agree with you. If not, you might not. It's all based on number of cases and the hospitals ability to take care of the populations. They will be keeping an eye on infection rates etc so this could still change after the fact.

As a grown adult we have the right to freedom, we do things every single day that are dangerous. From driving, drinking, smoking, taking recreational drugs, skydiving...whatever. We are not prisoners, there has to be an end point. The risks have to be assessed, the entire nation is not New York or London.

The action of our leaders should be proportional to the actual risk, the risk of this virus to most people is low. If you live in a major city, that's not the case. The lockdowns should not be blanket, this is common sense.

Everyone that has any worries, can stay locked in their houses, they can use gloves, they can social distance, they can use a mask. They can do whatever they want.


Most people under the age of 60 will get minor symptoms, many have none (and if you say otherwise you need to prove it). If you are older or have immune system problems you can self isolate, you can be cared for. The sooner the economy is trucking again the more power we have to look after those people.

Also your statement about permanent organ damage is highly misleading, you can get permanent "organ damage" from the flu, from any bacterial infection and many other things. It won't have an impact on your life in the vast majority of cases, what you are talking about is called minor scarring.

Fear mongers will have us in permanent lockdown, they will never want to lift it because there will always be a risk (because everything has a risk). It's about calculating when the risk is at an acceptable level and the doctors and leaders are the ones who do that.

Places that have serious problems, will remain locked down. People that are afraid or have issues, can stay locked down. People who WANT to go back to living their lives should be able to do it if they live in places with health risk is at an acceptable level.

In this lockdown right now, the entire nation can't: see the doctor, goto the dentist, goto a none essential shop, go out more than twice a day, goto the beach, goto work, goto hospital for checkups, hookup, goto hospital for non-essential surgeries, do a lot of stuff that make life worth living.

Again, the GOVERNOR has the final say. NOT TRUMP.

At this point, you really need to stop posting. You have no idea what youre talking about, and it shows.

Going from 50 to 130 is a 160% increase, not 260%.

Nope.

Then just remember; YOU are the cause of deaths. You are the reason you wake up in the morning and see on the news every single person that has died that morning is now dead. You and your views are directly causing this. I hope you are happy and proud that you have killed more people with your *** than have died in recent wars.

What the hell are you on about you lunatic? We are on a ffxi forum, I'm not making laws. Whatever happens, happens no matter what either of us want.

We are discussing our personal views on it. Does your nurse know you're on the internet again?

Oh I'm sorry do I have an opinion you don't like, maybe you should call the police? Oh wait, we aren't in communist China so you're SoL.

Nobody wants people to die but most of us don't want to be in prison for the rest of our lives either, by your stupid logic we should be in lockdown forever cause there will always be some risk.
