Be Sensible

Two more big conferences have cancelled their Chicago conventions. According to one news report, this means 100,000 attendees won't be coming to town and spending money. Assuming at least a two-night stay, that's a lot of empty hotel rooms, missed meals, shows, and transportation opportunities. Rosemont is getting tagged, too.

The governor is "frustrated" over nineteen cases of COVID-19. Nineteen people out of 12.74 million in Illinois. A massive infection rate of fourteen hundred-thousandths of one-percent (0.00014). With zero deaths in Illinois.
  • Monday night, local health officials alerted Cinespace Studios on the West Side that a crew member on the upcoming Fox show “neXt” had tested positive for the virus. A source said the crew member is a woman in her 50s who recently traveled to Chicago from California. In a statement, Cinespace said its campus would undergo a deep clean and would stay
As an e-mailer noted, a lot of cops work side jobs with Cinespace Studios at various movie and commercial shoots. Be aware and take precautions. But unless you're over 60 with underlying health issues, the recovery rate is looking to be well over 97%.

As a PhD in molecular biology, I have studied the Coronavirus extensively and have concluded the following: (1) due to the national media’s extensive coverage and warnings, people will avoid those who are infected at all costs, (2) the virus will wreak havoc on our economy as people refrain from traveling, eating out and meeting in social groups, (3) the economy will plummet into recession which will create an uphill battle for Trump to win re-election, (4) our first “open” Communist presidential candidate will have a better chance of winning the White House, (5) after the Nov 2020 election, people will realize that the Coronavirus is no more deadly than the common influenza outbreak 😷 every winter (which is annually responsible for 16,000 US deaths), and (6) the leftest media will and be gleeful for revenge enacted on Trump even though tens of thousands of honest Americans will loose their jobs, homes and savings.

After tonguing a person infected with the Coronavirus and becoming inflected yourself, statistically you still have a higher of probability of dying from lightening, a snake bite or a spider bite than from the Coronavirus. Think about it. Wonder why the leftist media covers it 24/7. Can you think of some theories?

The fat, hot sweaty gov is frustrated. His morbid obesity is disgusting and he needs to go on a stringent diet. When that happens then he come back to us and talk health issues. Send in medical experts to talk about the virus. Yank fat boy off the stage. The only frustration he has is looking in the mirror and wishing away loosing 200 lbs.

The corona virus will jam fat boy and the Imp in their asses with more financial debt and corruptive practices in this bankrupt State and city. Once the corona dust settles where do you think these Democratic Socialists are going to make up for all the lost revenue from cancelled conventions, empty hotels and the like. Fat boy, Toni Prickwinkle and the Imp are coming after your wallet. People will be abandoning the city faster than the Feds can indict crooked politicians.

Your numbers are not right. That 97% recovery rate is the overall rate the under 60rate is much much higher. In fact the current 3.4% mortality rate will be found o be much lower because all that have contracted the corona19 are not known. So stop worrying unless your in the real at risk group, elderly with serious health issues. All this panic is way overblown.

Ask a Democrat JB Pigfluenza and nobody is getting tested because there are no Covid-19 test kits available.
And from what the CDC is saying, only a doctor can order testing. You just don’t walk into a corner clinic or Walgreens and take a test.
Results are not immediate either. Looks like Dems state and citywide are just spreading panic bunk.

This started in third world China. Open market live animals for sale to eat. No chance of anything going wrong where you have live animals, rats, bats, dogs and cats picking at each other then comes the insects and flies to spread disease even more. The country has no safeguards whatsoever. Men in China are dying because of underlying conditions mainly heart disease because over 50% of men in China smoke cigarettes and by smoke I mean packs a day. In addition the air quality has to be the worse there then in any other country. The satellite view of China before and after they shut down was staggering. You let a third world country become a global economic giant and they still live like their ancestors. It’s a fucking shame the whole world has to suffer.

I have family members in this state and out of state. Their jobs include marketing and setting up and running these trade shows around the country. It looks like everyone will cancel this year and maybe into next depending on what is happening with the virus. No one want to fly or stay in hotels or mingle in large groups until more is known. They are telling me that local governments on the West Coast are already banning group meetings over 200 people. The temporary end to fans at major sporting events, baseball, basketball football is on the horizon and imminent . More then one company they deal with is issuing new laptops to everyone in the anticipation of a regional quarantine so people can work at home. It is coming. Be prepared.

epidemiology/biostatistics guy here. what you want to do for any place's CV19 numbers is look at the ratio of fatalities to official cases (cfr). the higher that ratio is, the less people are getting tested. lots of places only test them if they're hospitalized. you project the real cases based on this - the higher the cfr the less you trust the official case count.

if the cfr looks like over 15% just assume you have no idea how many cases there are.
