I know nothing about vaccines but if people can get re-infected by coronachan just a few days after they recovered is one even possible?

I do find it funny that the press is like how can we trust China when we have the Trump administration which only cares about one number.

It’s clearly here and the US for both political and cultural reasons can’t contain it. The only thing helping us is the US isn’t a super dense place. It’s still going to ravage the global economy.

its still pretty wild seeing everyone just going on about their days like nothing at all has changed while the stock market shits itself and the online world is in full-on panic

just something weirdly unnerving about the huge disconnect between the two

i assure you the US is an extremely dense place

right, but the thing is there is no actual proof of true reinfection. People had it, tested negative, and then tested positive. im not aware of any proof of the "and then its deadlier the second time" thing that is not also possibly explained by a false negative and then a positive later.

The only thing is this: which in itself is not yet credible sourced, and so far only deals with people treated with gilead's remdesivir antiviral drug. which, is still a pretty big deal but i dont think anyone was banking on gilead's antiviral as a magic bullet anyways and it's not being used in the US in either case.

There's literally only 40 something deaths so far and people are acting like 50-100 million deaths is a given.

I kinda hate this thread, lmao, it's either racist poo poo or some loving nerds trying to pretend they're an actor in some medical drama and getting gleeful when they see a dangerous virus spread because they momentarily feel correct.

poo poo sucks basically

SunAndSpring posted:

like god drat, lmao, half the threads are "WOW HAHA YES, IT'S IN A MAJOR TRANSPORT AREA, I LOVE PEOPLE GETTING HURT" (someone else will post that report was made up like with the Las Vegas scare but everyone will ignore it), motherfuckers were in here going "THE INSCRUTABLE ORIENTALS HAVE RELEASED A *BIO-WEAPON* TO REDUCE THE SURPLUS POPULATION" and didn't get probed

this poo poo's basically indistinguishable from those loving Reddit subs where you watch people die but oh well! good to know so many of my fellow leftists here are absolutely loving insane sociopaths and that basically nothing matters, lmao

This reminds me of the Ebola thread a few years ago, 50,000,000,000,000 incoming deaths

Oh hey, ~150 new posts to the saner version of the OH GOD OH gently caress WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE SOMEONE SNEEZED AT WORK TODAY SO LONG GOONS thread, I wonder if anything noteworthy happened or if GBS sprung a leak?

*looks*

Uh huh.

BIG HEADLINE posted:

The usual suspects are going to shout you down with videos and r0 figures, but ultimately I think it all ends up being some version of:

"NO! NO!!!! SEE THIS IS ALL I HAVE! IF THE VIRAL APOCALYPSE ENDS THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT I DON'T HAVE TO CARE ABOUT MY lovely LIFE ANYMORE! SO I'M GOING TO DOOM POST AND/OR SPUR ON THE DOOM POSTERS BECAUSE I SECRETLY HOPE IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN SO EVERYONE'S LIFE ULTIMATELY MEANS NOTHING AND MY UNIMPORTANT AND MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE MEANS JUST AS MUCH AS SOMEONE WHO LIVED THEIR LIFE TO THE FULLEST! WHERE'S THE NEAREST CASE, I WANNA BE A SUPERSPREADER!"

Prince Myshkin posted:

It was from a respiratory disease specialist who was on the front lines of fighting SARS. But I'm enjoying very smart goons mocking that guy because they made a spreadsheet or whatever the gently caress.

Prince Myshkin posted:

He didn't say it would be over, he said it would peak. Meaning infections would continue but the rate of infection would start dropping. You people are morons.

Prince Myshkin posted:

It might, it might not. It was just a prediction people ITT are misinterpreting for their masturbatory doomsday fantasies. We're still a week out from 10 days and like I said above, the number is dropping for the rest of the country. If the growth stays localized it will be easier to stem.

hi hello yes, now that it’s been a few weeks and it’s clear this isn’t going to cause the apocalypse or whatever bullshit please stop being loving weirdos itt. you can hate China and China’s government or whatever but this isn’t world war z calm the gently caress down

Why don't you take a highly leveraged short position on industries that would be hosed by this instead of making smug posts in CSPAM

Posting apocalyptic declarations about what "will" happen when clearly no one has any loving idea what will happen is insanely smug

The language barrier here really makes it harder to understand as well, but yeah maybe the drug subdues it enough in the short term, but does not remove it 100% or is somehow interfereing with their imminue system so it flares back up again. That or its somehow claiming that the aquired immunity goes haywire the second time causing a cytokine storm

The article also is rather alarmist and sourced from unknown people supposedly hiding their identity from the PRC. Its possible, I dont trust the PRC either, but its still a really out there claim. This is nasty enough as it is!

GABA ghoul posted:

Not sure about that. The pandemic is not particularly dangerous to the working age population and I'm pretty sure at some point most western states are going to decide to just power through it and gradually remove quarantines. By the time next year's infection wave hits we might already have a vaccine or some of the novel antiviral drugs will have finished trials. China is already ramping up production again.
