You do until someone puts one in your hands and theres someone shooting back. You wouldn't be long looking for a bar of soap then.

Anyway most likely you wouldnt get a gun, youd be taken out of your house and shot, or piled into a barn with your family and locked in before being set on fire. I'd stick to the netflix.

Its your opinion but its a ridiculous one.

Every single one of us is on the front line, doing our bit by staying at home and limiting contact with others.

In world war 2, those on the front line wanted nothing more than to be at home. Instead they were surrounded by death, cold, hunger and eventually most were forced to run directly into their untimely, painful deaths.

I know which I'd prefer.

I think even comparing them is ridiculous TBF, and I’m including myself in that. Chalk and Cheese.

I think it'll be far worse than italy given their healthcare model. We actually wont know the true death toll from USA because many will die without going next or near a hospital as they couldn't afford to. Sad really.

It won't change one single thing in the USA , even if 500k die. It wont change anything

Washington has actually managed to stem things after a bad start.

How are we off for hospital ventilators?

I see in the UK they've finally decided on which of the many options to mass manufacture, and the NHS has gone for The paraPAC™ plus 300.

Anyone with expertise or knowledge here to talk about ventilators? It does seem to be the number piece of kit/hardware in this war against Covid-19.

You'd want to be a proper snowflake to think this compares to ww2. Sitting on your hole, watching netflix and bravely venturing to Tesco to do a bit of shopping. Some people would need a kick in the hole. They havent a clue what hardship is.

It's been taken out of context.
Someone said that this was the biggest crisis the world had faced since WW2.
That's not comparing them, just saying it's the biggest crisis since something else happened.

On a positive note, imagine all the people worldwide (not least in China) who have had the virus, either didn't know they had it or recovered from a very mild dose and are now immune for life (as far as we know!). Big scary virus which perhaps millions already immune from. I know it's not a great comfort now, but it will be.

Massive "Source?" needed here.

Never say that. War is not about guns. It's about artillery surrounding your town and airplanes shelling streats, schools and hospitals, suddenly killing people on the streets.
Sometimes you spend a months not leaving the shelter. If you go out on the street, every few hours you hear sirens and you never know is it real or fault alarm. I still remember one croatian general when journalist told them... Is it true that you have same chance to be hit by grenade as you have chance to win the lottery.. He said... It's true, but draw for this lottery is every 10 seconds. Stay in shelter.
Every time somebody tell me how hard is in home isolation, I remember this. 30 years since, but still remember.. Take a soap and wash your hands. in war you would probably use soup for food.

We'll see how much higher it goes but relatively speaking they're still doing better than a lot of European countries.

The US is 5 times bigger than the UK for instance but only has twice their death rate.

The big problem is New York state, 505 deaths today accounting for half of all deaths.

Maybe that post but theres tons of people complaining about how tough it is in "lockdown" or how its like a war. Its really nothing like a war. And on a scale of 1 to 10 of how hard this is and could be its about a two. People have facebook, boards, twitter, netflix, normal tv, xbox. God forbid they might even read a book but the information in it might overload them.

Err, you do know that even Trump, who claimed that it was one person from China and then 15 but soon to be none....is now saying that TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND deaths would represent "a great job"?

I don't give a flying fig about Trump. I'm looking at the numbers only and relatively speaking for their population they're no worse than a good number of European countries. I look at data not partisan spin.

Things are going to get a lot worse over there. Cities queuing up to be the next New York. New York won't be the worst.

I guess it depends. I'd say for me then yes it's a 2...but then there's others and it will be far worse, those in abusive relationships, spouses and children living in those homes. We don't know what they're going through.

Then there is the loneliness for elderly people. I read in Italy that some elderly people were going out to the supermarket (even though people would deliver to them) because they just wanted to have some brief human interaction with a real person. I don't know how hard they would rate their experience on a scale of 1 to 10 but they must have found the lockdown pretty unbearable at the time to take the risk.

So while it's not a war there are certainly people out there who are having a terrible time in this lockdown.

Well New York is their biggest city so I would suspect it probably will be.

California has done a very impressive job so far, they have x2 the population of New York State and only have one tenth of their deaths. Dr. Birx accredited them for taking action early.

They have 1303 new cases so far today in California and 30 new deaths recorded.

3 quarters of tests done are yet to be processed.

A disaster is unfolding of proportions hard to imagine at this point and there is an imbecile in charge.

The 2009 flu killed 575,000 at most. This looks like it's got the potential to surpass 1 million.

Even comparing a War to a Pandemic is incredibly dumb in the first place so hence even getting into that argument was stupid of me... but war isn’t physically contagious the last I checked, so mentally speaking this is rather distressing in a completely different way.
