*Whilst some citizen journalists are quite noble in their intentions, a lot of them rely on click bait.

It was 110MPH on the M1 motorway travelling north to Nottingham. The force said the man was stopped near Junction 22 in Leicestershire.

Mph. He drove 240 miles to save a quid on a loaf. I'll have to assume "loaf" is some kind of euphemism for Russian Super Model Escort (that might have been his mode of transport as well) with a magical vagina.

One could argue that it's anecdotal, "There's no one here now, so they weren't here yesterday ...", but the news' footage clearly shows a busy period. It might just be that, a busy period that was by chance filmed by the news media.

It seems he might have contracted from a family member.

I still think our state over-reacted a bit. 624 cases out of 2 million people? .000312, exceptionally low numbers. Granted, part of that is isolation but a lot of it is also the fact that we live in a state with few people who are generally spread out. I think they could start easing the restrictions by the end of May. Even more than the businesses losing an alarming rate of income, I'm thinking of the schools because how many kids are really learning right now? Guessing less than 10%.

624 people out there infecting every single person they come into contact with for a week before showing any symptoms, then each one of the people they infect doing the same.

This is about stopping it from spreading and there is no such thing as 'only this many' as that number rises non stop until you have New York.

What exactly is your point with the video? Do you believe this is all a hoax, or that there really isn't that big of an issue?

I said active. There are 1,006,526 active cases worldwide as of this post. The figure you're talking about are total cases ever, which includes people that have recovered, or died. We just crossed the million active case threshold a little while ago wth the update of NY's numbers.

i think its reasonable to be skeptical of what the media is shoving down our throats. why the fake hospital scene? why did the urgent care owner lie?

obviously there is a real issue happening but to what extent has been the question all along. and we wont know until this is all over but at that point, it wont matter, it will be too late

[MifuneFan]

What fake hospital scene?

[travisbickle]

@Lacit170 ^Exactly.

And if you think viruses are scary, wait until we have another depression from the economy being shutdown for another couple of months.

Desperate people>>>>viruses

the hospital scene shown on the news of NYC hospital being overwhelmed was the exact same footage from what Italy showed their hospitals being overwhelmed.

blatant false reporting
