Chicken Littles

[farming101]

Hopefully, I have never come across as a Chicken Little.

People the world over accept that death is the end of life and that most spend a part of their life planning for their retirement and death.

It is inevitable. It is also very true that not all life is saved, can be saved, or, incomprehensibly is desired to be saved.
These stats from Worldometer, April 4 starkly portray that truth. How many of those deaths already logged this year could have been prevented?



People do not appoint, elect or hire other people to keep them from never dying. They want such ones to give them a long and prosperous life and a death with dignity and minimal pain.

Ultimately, humans manage death and sickness as best they can. It is a part of life.
I would hope there is a hotline to Vital Statistics and the SK Health Authority. It is the best way to know how this is playing out, keep forecasts and statistics fresh and up to date.
And finally, it will be how a plan is made to get us past this phase of dealing with a new virus and back to a semblance of day to day living, whatever that will mean.

Some may find this interesting..

But furrow, how do you, as a leader of a country, not knowing what the actual mortality rate is (somewhere between 0.1 and 5%) and under what level of isolation for a new disease, knowing there is no cure, no vaccine, seeing countries like Spain and Italy pile the caskets, decide not to shut down the country?

Is it better to be wrong then millions die? This is an absolute no win predicament. Sure, when 3 months go by, we are all so smart and then the posts will be about how they did it all so wrong and if i was PM blah blah blah

None of us have to make that decision. We just sit here and post, consequence free, pretending we are in control of these decisions when actually we maybe only have that control over our own house.

It's like planning today if you will spray fungicide in July. You get 2 days to decide.

"What could or should have been done to get ahead of the curve? Any comments?"

I said way back, anyone travelling out of country should be clearly informed that they MIGHT not get back in if something like this shows up else where. All flights and entry points will be SLAMMED shut till we understand WTF is out there. We had ZERO cases domestically, ALL were imported and spread here later.

Yes us and parents have all directives in order...

Hey FJ, here's a bit of history on travel restrictions....
Early February....

Remember 230,000 people in Hong Cong hold Canadian passports and can still come "home" I believe.

I presume there are many more in mainland China.

We won't send a plane but I think I saw we will subsidize the ticket
