For some amusing incompetence. quote:A luxury around-the-world cruise has been diverted to Fremantle in Western Australia, instead of Singapore, over concerns about a potential coronavirus outbreak. Singapore not safe to dock in? That's OK, we'll skip it and fly people in from Singapore to dock else-ware. Surely this can have no possible downsides.

It is comical, but what is more comical is why anyone in their right minds would want to get on a cruise ship in the current situation.

If I were going on a cruise I would board in a full bio suit and bring a decontamination kit. Be the sole survivor.

kaesarsosei posted:Is is too simplistic to say that this thing will only kill the already weak or those with underlying health issues? It seems to have about a 2000% higher chance to kill the general population versus the season flu. It could be as much as 5000% higher but we cant tell this early on. The only reason we are concerned about this is because of how badly it floods the lungs it can kill healthy, moderately aged people too. kaesarsosei posted:It is comical, but what is more comical is why anyone in their right minds would want to get on a cruise ship in the current situation. Peer pressure is a hell of a drug. Or being afraid of your in-laws pressure I guess. That being said you are totally not going to catch the coronavirus on your rich white people Caribbean cruise. But the realistic chance of a scare on your cruise, which will end up in you staying on the ship for months as its quarantined and turned into a literal floating prison ala waterworld, makes the trip not worth the risk. coronavirus fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Feb 10, 2020 |

2 cruise ships that had people get on board at just the right time (before travel restrictions, after outbreak became widespread enough to have decent odds of getting carriers among the passengers) are quarantined and are not great places to be stuck 56 other mega cruise ships are just fine

I wonder if they took into account people smuggling themselves out of impacted regions, sick or asymptomatic.

I've heard rumors that Chinese people in wuhan are currently locked into a death match with roving gangs of wild pangolins, who push them to the ground with their enormous titties while coughing onto them. Millions have died so far in this struggle. They've also acquired boats and are currently looking for suitable cruise ships to board. All of this might just be rumors but I want my fellow goons to stay up to date and safe.

BoldFace posted:It can send anyone to the ICU. There is no certainty, only probabilities. This is what people don’t get. They might see 10% chance of being sent to the ICU, and think “Ah ok, basically no risk”. A different way of putting it might be “for 1 in 10 people there is a 100% chance of going to the ICU” not that is a lot better. But it at least communicates how dire it can be for those that get it. People see 10% and feel like it’s something they can dodge or shrug off.

I’m curious about the critical/serious cases reported (like 4000 last time I looked). Like, how many critical cases so far made a recovery. I’m assuming they’re not just keeping them alive without hope to make the number look good, since they’re so short on medical resources (and they could just lie about the number anyway)

Some eggheads are speculating one of the hospitals in Wuhan was contaminated in some fashion and people were getting infected through cross contamination.

And I don’t think people should be afraid, just don’t take unnecessary risk. You can see this behavior with how people plan for the weather, their health, driving infractions, etc. anything with a percentage, lots of people seem to not be able to translate the chance of something happening vs. if it happens to you, it happens 100%.

CPA Hell posted:I’m not saying that’s the actually rate. Just using it as a hypothetical. And I don’t think people should be afraid, just don’t take unnecessary risk. Ok. Though I think the normalization of risk tends to happen for things that people have experienced a bunch of times with no bad effect (risky driving), or the bad effects may occur in some indefinite future (smoking). Novel risks don't have that effect as much. And the other thing that de-emphasizes risk is the perceived control over the situation -- standard example is fear of flying vs driving. Thus people in the US panic buying face masks. This is a new and frightening thing and they have no control over it. A mask feels like it re-asserts control, even though masks are less effective than some basic hygiene practices.

Dog Toothbrush posted:Masks and hygiene are better than hygiene alone, objectively. Most people buy masks because it's easy and don't actually do the hygiene part. But let's put that aside. Why weren't you wearing masks 2 months ago? It was flu season, flu can kill people. You had an infinitely higher chance of getting flu back in december than the ~0% chance of encountering coronavirus in the US right now. Panic buying masks when you live in the US is hoarding, not a sensible precaution. Hoarding is bad.
