This can't be right? 1000 deaths is a lot but that really should not be pushing anybody so far above capacity

I swear Steven Soderbergh went to experts and asked two questions - what is the likely way a virus could spread, and what will govts do to gently caress it up. Yeah I watched the movie on my flight from London to LA right before poo poo started to pop off and its just been like a slow moving train wreck you can see from a mile away. Fat Damon was cool too.

Apparently nearly all the new tested cases today in the Netherlands were just healthcare workers too, as I guess they are the only people they are bothering to test. No need to take any big steps though you guys, like closing schools or setting quarantines. The pragmatic, non-panicky Dutch will get through this by just acting like it's not there!

Hazo posted:Ridiculous that dogs have a coronavirus vaccine before we do. I was thinking about this yesterday. The situation has almost been a perfect storm for people to not give a poo poo about. The people in the most danger are the elderly, who are most likely to attribute anything other than status-quo to being "fake news", so it's hard for them to take it seriously. Young people aren't in as much danger so they don't worry about themselves - and honestly, they don't really give a gently caress about the olds either. So nobody has really been too concerned yet. Then I got to thinking - what if it killed young people? Or babies? Would people care then? Probably, although maybe not vastly more. Then I thought....what if it killed people's DOGS? Heads would be loving rolling right now. Trump would be hanging from a crucifix outside the whitehouse. Martial law would have certainly been declared, the military would have seized all research and manufacturing capability and the country would be 100% dedicated to discovering and manufacturing a vaccine for the dogs, and so on. So yeah don't be surprised when it comes right down to it...dogs > babies > olds.

Just talked to my former roommate who's an ER doctor in a small-medium sized city. He hasn't seen it first-hand yet but has been on conference calls with different peer groups dealing with it. He's lucky he has the next 2 weeks off so he won't be dealing with it directly but even still, sounds like lots of dumb fucks are still coming to the ER for really trivial stuff, then get pissed off that it's taking forever to be seen. Their staffing is also very tight at his place so if 1 doctor goes down with this, they won't have proper coverage and will be totally hosed from overworking. He had a patient yesterday with a perforated large intestine and called the ICU at the nearest major hospital and there were no available beds. So now is apparently a really bad time for anything bad to happen to you because you might be SOL due to lack of capacity/equipment even if it has nothing to do this with dumb virus. According to him, the current projections by the time this thing runs its course are pretty staggering, something like 10x the seasonal flu, with 50% infection rate expected and an estimated 800,000 deaths in the US.  the Greatest Generatiom and Boomers

TP is actually the smart buy, because you can wrap yourself up like a mummy and boomers are loving terrified of mummies, so when everything goes on lockdown, you can just knock on the door and when they answer it and see a mummy, they'll faint and you can rob them of food and valuables.

So check yourself into a Spanish hotel for a month or potentially longer if travel restrictions get stricter or wait a week and take your regularly scheduled flight home and leave your girlfriend behind?

https://twitter.com/Tylerjoelb/status/1238178944131760129 the state of ohio is now urging people to ignore the CDC's official statistics (due to lack of available tests) and assume that at least 1 percent of the state's total population is now infected

A neighbor just had six 48-packs of water bottles dropped off at their doorstep by Amazon, sitting there tempting thieves and probably covered in CORVID-19 by warehouse workers not permitted to take any sick days  Besides we all know toilet paper is the item to stockpile, not water. Whoever commands the greatest amount of TP for their bunghole by the time this is over shall have a grand coronation and be named Cornholio I, the first god emperor of humanity.
