re: South Korea; Mass testing, local quarantine procedures, plus they were one of the first countries outside China to have an outbreak so they would also be one of the first to reach an inflection point. Will be interesting to see how well that tracks in other countries with similar large scale outbreaks. They also had that one cult that was purposely spreading it which meant law enforcement was involved early which may have helped.

China has managed to stomp this into the ground after over a month spent loving around. That's still a victory, even if their leaders are monsters for doing nothing for so long. They hosed up, but they course corrected. Meanwhile the US is still in the loving around phase, basically trying to do the coverup thing but by accusing people of just lying or exaggerating instead of just arresting them (although who knows), or by simple censorship. Trump has asked the AG to open a DOJ investigation into journalists reporting on the disease. He and numerous other officials have downplayed the virus at every opportunity. We can't get tests to the places that need them, and research labs making their own tests were ordered to stop; it's too important that private labs be allowed to profit off of testing. We need a lot of course correction right now but it sounds like the CDC has resigned us to 150M cases QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Mar 12, 2020 |

Pawn 17 posted:I have some bad news for you. China actively censored doctors, journalists and hid information about the virus for months to protect their numbers. Also their delayed mitigation efforts is the reason why everyone is in this situation in the first place. It is easy to contain an outbreak among a dozen people. It is not so easy to contain an outbreak of what is likely exponential orders of magnitude over the currently reported positive cases.

The illness originated in china, thats why. Do you have a agenda? NO, and NO, I don't accept that "all" governements are filled with shithells, because thats a way to defend the ones killing their own citizens to protect rich people savings.

The plague has been in Iran for ages and they're doing just as much to help it spread as China initially did. My agenda is 'wow, look at the rich fucks prop up their precious numbers with our bodies'. Which set of rich fucks doesn't really matter.

My company is giving everyone the option to work remotely and pretty much everyone has the ability to do so -- well, except for two local offsite data collection facilities which employ a large number of contractors and cannot cease operations (we do a lot of survey research). Next week we're doing the whole mandatory work from home thing to test infrastructure, except for the two data collection centers - one of which employs hundreds and they share stations between shifts. That place is going to get rocked. My floor in my building is pretty chill and a lot of people work remotely already, so I still planned on going in because I'd rather have my giant monitors.

It is a theory, but currently it is humid and cool here. AZ is also still only testing people who have been out of country or dying, so the best way to get tested is flying to Canada apparently.

FlamingLiberal posted:I mean that is what I am assuming is going to happen, because Trump is not going to admit he was wrong and Congress isn't going to do poo poo about this. Without a massive coordinated effort by the federal government right now, we're going to be looking at closer to the highest possible number of cases. Some states are trying to fix this on their own but a handful of states taking action isn't going to be enough. It's already out of the bag. Ity was out of the bag before it left China. This isn't Ebola where everyone who gets it starts melting. This is a virus where 80% of those infected won't think of it more than a cold or cough. It was never going to be contained. The problem isn't the people who test positive for the virus, the problem is the people who have it and never knew. This virus will be around until it mutates away into the pool of other coronaviruses or we all die.

look at south korea imo. right now they seem to be in the curve flattening phase, and its pretty likely the amount of new cases daily will start to fall sometime in the next few weeks. this is hopeful thinking though. also, compare fatalities in south korea, where people are generally pretty healthy and greeting culture is not very physical (handshakes etc) to fatalities in italy, where people drink wine and smoke and kiss eachother every day i hope its not unrealistic to think that projections of millions dead and hundreds of millions infected per country are based on the situation as it stands now, with exponential growth but in relatively small pools. does anyone have a projection for the number of cases in south korea before they started curbing it hard?
