QuarkJets posted:The jury is still out, not because the data has never been analyzed (it has, in many ways by many groups, many of them linked in this thread already) but because the data is inadequate. The estimates drawn from studies like this one are useful but are also known to be full of systematic uncertainty and should not be taken as gospel. All sorts of crazy poo poo is in that analysis too. The most immediate, alarming things are secondary organ damage (kidneys, gnoads, heart) of unknown amounts and lung damage similar to TB over much less time (2 CCP officials have had lung transplants). There's also the possibility of it getting into the nervous system, so.. yeah.. THAT'S a neat party trick. But we just don't have a lot of study yet.

Or is this it just existing conditions that were part of the reason they got so sick"? The nature of the virus and the complete failure of containment in China means that we're never going to get a proper answer, which The US' response is largely awful, but it's not like there was ever a chance of prevention when it came out that China intentionally did nothing for six weeks.

If there's a bright side on this, 'Made in China' is about to become box office poison.. for the STUPIDEST goddamn reason. I've long maintained we needed a more diverse supply chain as a nation.

My bay area tech company was already pretty casual about WFH, but my manager, who is out of state anyway, says "do whatever seems right". The only company wide thing so far is that an email went out today saying biometric fingerprint readers are being disabled and the buildings will be badge only for now.

On the other hand apple has decided to ignore the problem. Facebook and Linkedin have both instituted mandatory wfh unless absolutely necessary.

Just saw the virus showed up in my home city back on Feb 21 but wasn't confirmed until today. Glad I can't be blamed as patient zero if I happen to have picked it up and bring it home somewhere along the way. I've been really careful and carrying soap amd sanitizer with me, but I've been on some really packed trains and among some crowds here in Tokyo.

Are they seriously not going to cancel that thing? The only comic con I've been to is the one in San Diego, and if it's anything like that, it's lines and lines of unwashed nerds waiting for hours to see some GoT actor or some bullshit.

US government should definitely isolate, stop flights, close borders, test everyone, and quarantine with extreme prejudice. Its criminal levels of failure that they didn't. Individuals have the responsibility to push for sensible and effective policy, but our citizenry is largely as ineffectual and ignorant as our leaders, so there are no mass protests or any fitting level of reaction to any of this. We designed our own fate long ago by propping up the leaders who we chose. RIP
