For instance, how does a country like Japan with such a high density population only have 29 deaths from this virus. This is all a big mind fuck to me at this point.

That's one of the problems with people thinking profit driven companies will self regulate, and why governments ultimately have to step in and force them to do the right thing.

I agree, but at the same time there are a lot of examples of private company CEO’s taking unprecedented measures to protect their employees and customers. In fact, I think a fair number of companies have taken better preventive measures to protect the public than that taken by the federal government.
Have you ever attended a sporting event, where a fan called a foul on his/her own team? Of course not! They smirk, and hope that the referees didn't spot it. Yet, those same fans will scream their ass off to call foul on the rival team.CNutz":2dzl2jl5 said:What would be great, since political discussion is clearly allowed. We should figure out a way to do it like adults, and in a non-partisan non-rhetoric manner. I guarantee most of us probably feel the same, and if everyone would dig up their heals from whatever "Political Team" they've decided to be on we could discuss these things without slinging shit everywhere.
Not saying this thread is slinging shit right now, just that we've had many that have. Just a thought.

Two family members of a New Jersey woman who died from the coronavirus last week also reportedly lost their lives from the illness on Wednesday.
Grace Fusco, 73, a mother of 11 from Freehold, died in a hospital Wednesday night, her cousin and family lawyer Paradiso Fodera told the New York Times.
Fusco’s daughter, 55-year-old Rita Fusco-Jackson, died Friday, becoming New Jersey’s second coronavirus victim.
Meanwhile, Fusco’s eldest son, Carmine Fusco, also died from the virus at a hospital in Pennsylvania earlier Wednesday, Fodera told the paper.

If you contract coronavirus, and have not been vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia, going to a hospital could be a problem. I've always heard that there is no better place to contract S. pneumoniae (strep), than in a hospital. According to Dr. John Sinnott, MD (USF Health Infectious Disease Epidemiologist), secondary infection of pneumonia is what's killing patients. They go into the hospital with coronavisus, then contact pneumococcal pneumonia. Check with your doctor to see if you're a candidate for vaccination.
