Message: [QUOTE="ColchVEGAS, post: 3475899, member: 8908"] Are we really going to try and use statistics from China to say how bad this really is? They tried to hide this virus for months and brush it under the rug so nobody would find out which is why this has gotten as bad as it is today. I was initially on the side of this is serious but being overblown, that is not my feeling anymore. Mortality rates will rise over time and not to mention the under reported tests and deaths of people that are not confirmed to be carrying. Italy dragged their feet on containment and look at the mess they are dealing with. They were faced with the decision to say we will let people die and treat those that have long lives ahead of them. That is extremely scary and an extremely tough decision to tell your country. This is an extremely serious virus and we all need to treat it that way to limit and contain the spread, which looks like it may be too late unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
