There's really no way to know whether or not those missiles caused damage or not. Missiles get shot around in the middle east all the time and do nothing, for example, Israel is constantly getting hit by random missiles that don't do jack.

What kind of weird word salad is this? You can tell whether they did any damage by assessing the damage.

The Dutch government only provides flu shots for over 60s and chronically ill. Anyone else needs a prescription from their physician and pay out of pocket. Apparently vaccinating young, healthy people only prevents one case per 64 inoculations and it's considered not effective enough to be worthwhile financially and medically.

Interesting. In Austria, you can get flu shots at pharmacies and they cost almost nothing. Depending on where you live, it's even completely free.

Number of people in serious/critical condition in Hubei province rises to 1,562, up from 1,294 yesterday

Not getting the flu shot is really dumb and also selfish. Herd immunity is a real thing and yeah - maybe Billy Jo won’t die if she gets the flu, but then she might spread it to someone who will.

Flu shots aren’t 100% effective because they aren’t always on target, but when you look at the huge numbers of infections each year, every little bit helps.

This applies 100x to one time vaccinations for vaccine preventable diseases like measles. Polio is gone but stuff like measles is somehow coming back due to dumb-as-gently caress anti vaxxers.

It's only a matter of time until Polio outbreaks come back in the US, I'm pretty certain. If vaccination rates keep slipping then it's only a matter of time. So look forward to that I guess

the x-axis doesnt even benefit from that scale at all. also measuring something like polio only in fatalities

The x-axis is not in log scale, it's in linear scale but they added a major tick mark at 1.

If they're manifesting symptoms than those people were likely infected a week, ten day, maybe two weeks ago. China was still keeping that poo poo a secret from the masses and people we're still out and about. If we are still seeing 2000 new cases a day two weeks from now...

I think you know what happens, or at least have as much of an idea as anyone else.

The Chinese government has promised to keep shipping in essential supplies but who knows to what extent that's being done. The supply flow is enough for now but may need to be increased as more people run out of essential supplies at home, it's unknown what those rates are or even what they need to be. Money is hypothetically not a concern if the government continues providing basic necessities to the quarantined areas, people there appear to be reporting that they're adequately supplied for now although a lot of fresh stuff has disappeared

If a quarantined area goes 2 weeks with no new detected infections then they'll probably end the quarantine and institute mandatory testing for a few weeks for anyone leaving the area, since any active infections are supposed to at least be testable by that point

If the infection rate remains linear like that then that'd actually be really good, with sustained effort you could probably completely eradicate it in a few months if the R0 is trending close to 1.

The fears right now are that 2000/day is just the limitation of accurate testing and that the true numbers aren't reflected in the reported numbers at all. A mere 2000/day limited to quarantine zones would be pretty awesome compared to that

The infection and fatality rate spikes because people are no longer well nourished or treated enough for their immune systems to save them. Secondary outbreaks build up from the presence of dead, lack of sanitation/trash removal, etc. This is basically why quarantines are really, really measure of last resort and often do more harm than good but addressing major public health crises otherwise is a lot of :effort:

She's sort of scared to admit it because she knows she'll get shouted at, but also she still doesn't get the flu shot. I shout at her about it.

The next 10 posts will concentrate on the part of this post where I said I shout at women.

From statnews.com
" And those numbers might be higher still but for the fact that China has a backlog of tests to be processed. Ryan said the problem isn’t testing reagents — the country has indicated it has adequate supplies — but the sheer number of tests that need to be run."
