I don't disagree with many of the posters here, however, it seems like there are several (you know who you are) who consistently post 'this doesn't look good' twitter links.

I will agree that things are not looking good for containing this virus, most people are looking for legit ways to prevent the spread and not 'holy *****... 'insert twitter post here' this is definitely not good".

Twitter will be the downfall of modern civilization... This is pretty sad coming from a guy who is only 31.
If the information posted here is too disturbing for you, then you can either stop looking or you can do something about it.

Get involved with your local emergency management committee and ask how you can help.

Volunteer at your local hospital, church, or shelter.

Educate your friends and relatives about Covid-19. Tell them how to prevent being infected, and what the symptoms are. Tell them to prepare for the chance that they or a family member is infected, and ask them what they plan on doing with their children or anyone under their care. Those over the age of 60 need to be especially aware of prevention.

People panic when they don't understand the threat they might face. Water and electricity won't be affected to any extent. Food shortages may occur, but it will be temporary if they do. Schools and businesses may possibly close under extreme circumstances to slow down outbreaks. Vaccines are being developed by over seven different companies at a phenomenal pace, but will probably not be available for a few months. Remdesivir, Kaletra, and chloroquine seem to be effective in treating severe infections, while most people will have mild symptoms, or possibly none.

Member a couple hundred pages ago on this thread when I posted that my biggest fear wasn't the virus but the economic effects and the public panic when this hits. This video is a microcosm of what I was implying.

The panic hasn't reached its full volume. People are slowly releasing what this all means.

The ferals and criminals are quietly waiting for their turn In the background......not time for them yet.

yeah, no hospital is going to accept non-licensed/certified help at this time, and many are not wanting non-patients to even be around. Good idea normally, but not during this event. Switch it to "church".

Interesting doc

fatties with diabeetus did not escape appendix 'A'
Not all diabetics are fat.

I was a 75# freshman in high school when I got it.

Things like this can kill me as quickly as a fat diabetic.

In 2 years though. That's like saying you have a 50/50 chance of getting the flu in the next two years. Also, I assume fly numbers will drastically go down as well? Looks like this is our 'new flu'

Maybe this will change their smoking culture for the better. Italy is being overrun and don't have the resources.

Here in Colorado we have less than 2 dozen cases but our 'genius' governor declared a state of emergency yesterday.

No, it doesn't.
The virus is contagious for 5-6 days before any symptoms are shown.... this thing is just getting started and it will get worse before it gets better.
Joe Rogan had the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy on his podcast yesterday. Very good info that dispels a lot of the myths being spread here & on other social media.

It is no doubt to receive federal dollars but a state of emergency over a handful cases?

Do the math. 48 months. Worst case 53 million infected.

Even if you shift it to 24 million infected in 48 months. It's 500k a month infected/5K dead per month at 1%case fatality rate.

That's on a linear growth rate. This thing goes exponential.


BTW - something along these lines is going to happen in 194 countries in the world all at the same time frame.....


Are you starting to understand why this is a much larger problem beyond "getting Trump for political reasons"?

I understand your calculations above but I don't believe in one assumption that you currently are making. I think the total number of cases is significantly less than what is reported. On the numbers of 100-1000x.

Reason is if this is spreading per the data people have shown we can't test nearly enough to know how many people really have this. Basically if we are only seeing 15% serious cases in the 1% of reported then it's a different story.

Merkel is just making statements to induce fear and say I'll save you! Follow me.

Cigar smokers seem to always be tactful and don't litter.

We're not seeing anywhere near a 40-50% hospital admission rate here, correct? It seems obvious that there are underlying complications that enhance the severity. And I assume these complications may be clustered in communities or nations/cultures?

If you have been to Italy the Interion Italians are fatties. The ones in the coast are thinner because they eat more seafood and Mediterranean diet.

I know Italian Americans are fatties
