My family had MREs in the 90's and we mostly just ate them when my parents didn't even feel like the half-assed cooking they normally do. I though they were pretty good TBH, but I guess if you're in the field and living off of them it would suck.

Is it a good or a bad thing if they’re overestimating the mortality rate because there are likely a huge number of unidentified asymptomatic carriers that aren't being counted?

Yes, there's downward pressure on the CFR from all the unidentified carriers. There's also upward pressure from those who died and haven't been found, and those who died from COVID but the deaths weren't counted as related. There could also be significant upward pressure from overwhelmed medical systems that run out of beds, ventilators, and other forms of critical care.

All we know right now is that it's much more communicable and deadly than seasonal flu. And that's enough to have a big impact on everyone and every country. Take basic proactive steps now, and if it turns out better than expected then you just don't need to buy rice/beans/TP/medicine for a while.

MREs are never cheap and if they are, they're expired or literally on the verge.

Remember Astronaut Ice Cream? How it was always like, $3 for a two ounce bar? And it never tasted anything like you were hoping?

It's the same with MREs.

So the gist that I am being getting from the COVID-19 is that, while it's still higher then the flu, it doesn't seem to kill a lot of people but is extremely virulent. There is also some case where people who recovered from the virus catch it again and is in worst condition then the first time, but we have not a lot of information. In fact we don't have a lot of information at all on how it's spread. One other thing it seem that someone found a way to make a vaccine and it could be ready in august so IDK.

The big question for us here in the US, and the world in general, is whether this thing will survive well enough through warm weather that it can come back big next winter. Even if there are hidden infected people in the US right now, just waiting for the 2 weeks incubation to set things off, the rate of doubling wouldn't be hitting tons of people before May and the normal end of cold & flu season. Your parents are gonna be ok, for now.


SARS was sufficiently hampered by warm weather that the first summer pretty much killed it, there was too small a reservoir before it was winter again. Covid is way more infectious than SARS to start, but if it also happens to really hate summers that would be really helpful for us. OTOH if it can keep that R-value close enough to 1 to persist like normal cold viruses then it's gonna be tough 9 months from now.

Is there no way to find out whether this will be the case? Must we simply wait for summer and see what happens?

Regardless of whether it completely disappears I somehow doubt it will survive here in Vegas with our 110 degree daytime temperatures. Hell it's already like 75 and winter hasn't even ended


Something funny I read about this cult, apparently they have members sit super close together, packed in on the floor. And then after every sentence in the sermon they are encouraged to shout AMEN at the top of their lungs, ensuring the propagation of virus-laden plummage or whatever they're calling it now

doctorfrog posted:

That last sentence is really weird.
Prepare yourself.
Prepare yourself for an expectation.
The expectation that you must prepare yourself for is this: that this might be bad.
Now, you shouldn't expect this, yet, but you should be prepared for the expectation.
The expectation? That it might be bad.
Note that we're asking you to do this, this is entirely optional on your part.

Yeah it's some super amazing weaselspeak. In this case they are simply trying to avoid panicking people but they're trying a bit TOO hard and descending into the realm of incomprehensible nonsense

Wuhan undercounted the dead body a lot in Jan. A lot of people died without confirming the virus in their bodies. The government has an idea how many people died thru the cremation data. However wuhan also severely undercounted the light patients and asymptomatic infected. They can't get a number unless they do large scale antibody test on the whole city.

You could get a good estimate against historical data though, surely? Compare how many fatal cases of "flu-like symptoms" in Wuhan the last 10 januaries with how many this january. If an average january has 500 people die of respiratory illness, and this year 800 people died of respiratory illness then probably about 300 of those folks were Covid19.

If you've never had real ice cream, sure.

Give Ben and Jerry's a crack at it, then maybe, maybe I'd try it again. But because it's B&J it would cost $8 for a 2oz bar.

MREs are good because they are stupidly calorie dense, around relatively easy to transport in a pack, and have their own heat source. They aren't a cheap or tasty source of food, and usually aren't the best choice if you are preparing to hunker down and weight isn't a serious factor.

Also, it's generally just a waste of time and money to stock up on food.
