Coronavirus: Are You Scared?
- Thread starter probyn
- Start date
The results look like its roughly 1:2 scared to not scared
For the guys scared/concerned, would this make you stop or reduce seeing SPs until the outbreak is controlled? Interested to see this response if this will be a significant number
If a significant portion will stop seeing them, i can imagine the ladies will soon start ramping up there efforts to attract clients

I think there are large market corrections coming in a lot of areas, sex work definitely among them. Things could get very grim out there, think war time conditions. “Regular” women will be trading sexual favours for food and shelter or other goods. SP’s won’t be getting $300, $400, $700 an hour.
I also suspect the housing market will collapse.
If they can’t stop this thing, the world is going to change in extreme ways.

2% fatality would make it as bad as the spanish influenza, which was pretty massive.
CBC even had an article out tonight suggesting you stock up as stores in China and Italy are empty with panic buying and people self quaranteeing.
It appears to spread before symptoms, though nobody has found out exactly how or when yet.
It'll hit here and likely everyone will get it, but almost all of us will just have a bad flu, some with no symptoms and a few not in healthy will become seriously ill.
Like your numbers.
Don’t be so sure. China makes everything, and they’ve been shut down for a month with no end in sight. Supply chains will be affected regardless of whether we suffer a big outbreak over here. The place that makes stuff isn’t making any stuff. This is already going to happen.
Once Toronto gets up to 100 and then very quickly to 1000 cases and beyond, grocery stores will empty, exactly like they have in Hong Kong and Milan, for example.
No stuff, no food, nobody going to work, schools closed, cities shut down.
Hummers for ham sandwiches seems like a pretty likely outcome to me.
The comment about regular women trading sex for food and shelter. Isn't that called marriage? Lol They're years ahead of their time. Lol.
Those people who have been predicting doomsday is already here and telling people to stay home are clueless and those who are at the other end of the spectrum that keep saying there is nothing to worry about and the flu is worse are just as clueless, and many are presenting misinformation not facts. Like those who were saying infants are at the same risk as the elderly, which is not true.
The facts are this virus so far has had no affect on the young ones, it also affects more men than it does women, and it has a dramatically higher death rate amongst those that are 60 years old and above specially those with resperiatory issues.
The fact that the Corona Virus is highly contagious should be of concern to all, as in a few of the cases the person who tested positive for the virus had no contact or direct links to other people who had tested positive for the virus.
Although the death rate is around 3% if this virus is not contained it will travel through the world due to it being highly contagious and the number of cases will dramatically increase. China did a great job in containing the virus by shutting down cities let's hope other nations are able to do the same, otherwise like I said it's going to travel and travel fast and in some cases it won't be found out until two weeks time which by that time will have already affected too many people.
If the number of cases globally gets to 250,000-300,000 it won't be stopped until dramatic actions are taken.
Well, of course, there is nothing good in this virus. But do you guys know the statistics on how many people die of flu each year? The amount is awful. Speaking about corona virus, the reason of death is complications, so the older people and children are more at risk. But still, I wouldn't visit China now.
Expect Toronto to be put on lockdown if cases ever reach between 500 to 1,000. This can happen very quickly (see SKorea, Iran and Italy).
If/when that happens all bets are off
If/when that happens all bets are off
i would lock i t down if the cases reach 50...this is a new virus and pretty much unknown...
Many people have posted on here that children are at risk, again this is incorrect. Matter of fact there have been no death of anyone between the ages of 0-9 from the Corona Virus.
Like I said earlier this whole notion that the flu is worse is just another attempt at trying to downplay the Corona Virus. The virus is highly contagious and in some cases there are no direct links or contact with other people who had tested positive for it, which makes it a very dangerous virus. As well for the flu there is a vaccine for the Corona Virus there isn't.
I am much more concerned about Brazil confirming it's first case yesterday than all those countries.
We all should be hoping that these countries can contain the virus as well as China did.
Wait for it to ravage its way through Africa, India and the rest of Asia. Also the USA and probably Canada will have a huge explosion of cases once they start actually testing on a mass scale.
South Korea may look bad, but they’ve also tested over 60,000 people.
The case in California, the patient was intubated for 5 days before the CDC would test him for coronavirus. The USA is going to be a big mess.
Also, we’ve all seen the 3 kids to a body bag videos. Of course this will affect children.

I agree. Countries with less ability to quarantine will get hit with huge amount of damage.
Honestly, it's when this starts spreading through the United States that this becomes a major issue.
The almost 10% of people that aren't covered by any sort of health insurance aren't going to be racing to the doctor to get checked out. Nor will they likely be self isolating because sick leave protections down there are a complete joke. You're basically going to have people that are infected (but likely have NO idea) refusing to stop going into work when they're symptomatic, which results in the virus spreading like wildfire.
The economy down there is so fragile that it won't take much before everything comes crashing down.
I'm infinitely more concerned about how all of this will affect the economy, than how my health will be affected.

Coronavirus updates: Stockpile food and meds in case of infection, Canada's health minister says
Health Minister Patty Hajdu is encouraging Canadians to stockpile food and medication in their homes in case they or a loved one falls ill with the novel coronavirus.
Updates below
That’s good advice for any potential crisis from a viral outbreak to power outages, she said Wednesday.
“It’s good to be prepared because things can change quickly,” she said.
She also suggested people should do what they can to ease the burden on the health care system in the meantime by staying home if they’re sick, washing their hands and getting flu shots.
The virus known as COVID-19 is different from influenza and the flu shot doesn’t provide protection against it, but the fewer people who are sick, the less strain on doctors and hospitals.

I got a little miffed earlier today.
I decided to go have have lunch at the Chinese Bao that's opened in my neghbourhood, it was closed. I thought, the hysteria is too much. I went to do my groceries, when I got back to my car it was open. I'd forgotten that, unlike the other eateries on the strip mall, they open at 12:00.
