if???? You really think this could go on forever..., REALLY??? I got a bridge for sale that covers the whole lake, North/South, (but I can make it go East/West if you prefer!!) if you're interested. This will be over (a lot) sooner than you think IMHO. I have a simple question for anyone that cares to answer. Why was there no panic, NOTHING "shut down" in 2009 during the H1N1 pandemic? The corona virus right now, is no where near as bad as the H1N1 ended up, (yet), but, if they have already shut down as much as already has been shut down at this stage of the corona virus, why didn't the same thing happen for the H1N1? It's a rhetorical question, just curious for some explanations from other's... This is just a hunch, I could be wrong, but i would bet a week's pay that the corona virus doesn't get as bad as the H1N1 virus did in this country, and NOTHING was shut down back then, not even for an hour. Go figure...

I meant "if" as in "if" things move forward during the time we'll be up north or the places in our area/that we frequent are still open. I'm not confident it's gonna be as smooth as you suggest.

I'm not saying it's going to be "smooth", (the media/ Democrats will see to that), I just think it will not be as bad as is currently being "predicted" by some. One of the things that doesn't get mentioned every time you hear that the U.S. has the most corona virus cases in the world right now, is that we don't have the most deaths!! I believe that is a testament to our superior health care system that the media refuses to report, as well as anything else "positive" that is going on. I find that extremely curious... We all know why, and that is probably why no one wants to address my question in post #13.

Because of today's technology and shutdowns, we'll never know how bad CV-19 could have been.

So I guess we'll never know how many lives could of been saved back in 2009 during the H1N1 virus, since nothing was shut down, and there was no panic. Would that be an accurate statement? And, if lives are saved as a result of the shutdown, will anyone get any credit for it, and if so, who??

Exactly, which is why each threat needs to be looked at independently and with the current social systems in mind.

History will show if the approaches we've taken made sense.

Personally, I think there's a balance to be found but that Americans—as seen in so many things—don't necessarily love moderation.

Will history show who would of been to blame for all the needless deaths back in 2009 during the H1N1 pandemic, for NOT shutting down the economy?? Or, should the old cliche, (I know how much you love cliche's!!), "at this point, what difference does it make anyways", come in to play...???

Huh? What are you even talking about? And why are you even comparing? Almost every epidemiologist has said the two aren't comparable. https://theconversation.com/coronavi...to-come-134076

I think you know exactly what I'm talking about, but in typical Liberal fashion, you don't want to have the debate because you know you can't win, so you plead ignorance. Funny, (not really), how hypocrisy never sticks to the Left. I know, another political post, but politics is in every aspect of our lives, like it or not.

Actually, no—I really can't understand what you're trying to say in that last post or what point you're trying to make. And, since we're labeling, that's typical Cal Coon fashion.

I will pm you my number if you really want to know what I'm talking about. If we keep on going on this forum, it will just get shut down... (again).

You are emabarassing yourself. H1N1 was much less dangerous. In the U.S., over the course of 1 full year it killed about 12 to 14k. COVID-19 is about going to double that in April alone.

Ok Einstein. We'll see who ends up embarrassed... The question is, will you have the scrotum to take your medicine (on this forum), if, and when, time proves you wrong??? I already admitted that "I could be wrong", it's just my hunch. BTW, how embarrassing is it that you can't even spell the word "embarrassing" correctly, huh, Einstein??? Go away. The only time you seem to post lately is to insult me in some form or fashion. Am I living rent free inside your warped little mind for some reason...???
