    Sadly, US and European leaders were not the intelligent ones listening to sensible advice. They were late in closing the boarders and implementing strict quarantine that was accountable to the authorities. Now this virus is running rampant through US and Europe.

    The Philippines was smart to close the airports to domestic flights weeks ago. Meanwhile contagious sick people are flying all over the US and Europe. A few days ago the Governor of Florida stated that there were 190 flights a day from New York to Florida and that statistically speaking every on of them had an asymptotic carrier aboard.

    Having shut down domestic flights, here is a situation where the Filipinos are smarter than the US and Europeans.

    Those of you that have expensive health insurance may have wasted your money.
    My backup is a Saint Peters burial plan. It may also be money wasted as I've heard through the bamboo telegraph they will not handle Covid19 casualties.
    If I met my maker my wife has been instructed to have lots of cold beer and potato chips at my wake. That's not going to happen either. She feels it's in bad taste to throw a party.
    Looks like the only sensible thing to do is follow Notmyrealnames advise and don't get sick.

    The world's IQ would not change, because it's a relative measurement. The world's range of IQ would stay the same. Using IQ to make an insult is not a sign of genius.

    If this virus had been given a free run, with no intervention, it would have killed many innocent elderly people but also the World's IQ would have shot up.[/QUOTE]

    I think just the opposite. The IQ would go down, unless the reference is to poor uneducated folks.

    Seemed like that to me - wipe out the lower IQs, don't recalibrate the test, and surely test results will be lower.

    If the entire World Population took an IQ test ...............the average thing they would get on the test would be "drool"

    Hoy! Speak for yourself about the IQ bit. If I succumb I personally think I will be a terrible loss to the world even though I am over 80.

    "Over 80" ... Age or IQ or both?
