[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1852548, member: 87243"] It's stuff like this that makes my think about leaving my rural town in Wyoming and moving to Alaska where there are NO people. I would come to town at the end of winter and people would ask "Well, how did you handle all the shortages?" and I would have no care, because I had no direct contact with people for months. Deputy819, so far our jail here in SW Wyoming is still taking in people, nothing like that is going on. We are still doing our educational programs and classes for the inmates with direct contact, but the admin did have a "Corona Virus" meeting yesterday to go over plans, so maybe that will change..... Death rate of the corona virus seems to be about 2% of the population infected, where as the rate of death for the common flu hangs around .1%, so yes it is more deadly, mainly to those immune compromised. Those people with healthy immune systems, it doesn't seem to have much of an increase in death rate, at least from what I have seen. Not making light of those with compromised immune systems, I have a couple family members that it would very possibly be deadly if they caught it. However I don't think a 1.9% increase validates all this sheepish panic. This kind of behavior can lead to much more catastrophic outcomes than the virus itself, especially when the shortages start to become food or medicine instead of a non life-essential item. I am glad to hear the person you know is getting better. [/QUOTE]
