didn't china also basically just assume that a whole bunch of people with the symptoms just had corona, which i would think would mean that a bunch of people who "had it and recovered" are actually just getting it for the first time

Yeah, they just assumed anyone with viral pneumonia was a Coofer and ran with it.

I have a friend with a family member who is a VP at a major health company and they say similar measures are going to be rolled out in Northern California in coming days/weeks.

Yeah, I was talking to a friend last night who works at a local hospital and what I gathered is that once it starts getting rough, they pretty much would stop elective surgeries and repurpose the pre-op/post-op suites for the beds.

the linked tweet about reinfection was deleted so i’m gonna say let’s wait for more sources

Yeah I'm down with that.

Like I said, reinfection isn't impossible but that would be real rapid. My money would be on the tests throwing false negatives now and then, either from bad tests or from an ineffective nasal swab etc etc

corona-chan is making a supplements fool out of me. downing those melatonins like a dang lunatic, stirring turmeric and cracked pepper into water and shotgunning it. i'll put any kind of stupid herb in my body. supercharging my immune system by putting allspice up my butt. what's that do? I don't know, seemed like it couldn't hurt.

Ditching any and all elective surgeries. Which some hospitals did two weeks ago. Only the worst loving kinds of boards and administrations are keeping them on for obvi cash purposes.

That's staff and supplies they can I'll afford to waste on tits or rhinoplasty.

"Elective surgery" includes a lot of medically useful and even necessary surgeries, it just means that it's not a medical emergency. Hernias, joint replacements, benign tumors, all elective.

Which, yeah, still deserve to be on the back burner when you have an influx of patients in respiratory failure, but we're not just talking boob jobs here.

Mexigoon here. People are starting to buy in bulk the neccesities: Toilet paper, rice and of course, beans. I went to the supermarket a couple hours ago to buy some more toilet paper, and these aisles started to have empty spaces. Most other stuff seems okay, but some of the special milks started to look pretty empty too.

Goddamn. Cases went up by 8x last week.

Worst part is for every case you see there are probably 10-100 you don't see yet

Part of the rapid early growth is testing catching up to those unseen cases. There aren't actually 8x the infected people, we just know about more of them (and then the actual infection count also rose 2-6x, but we don't have a firm handle on that because we don't know how many undiagnosed cases are out there.)

Those China doctor teams are from different provinces. For example, the Iran team is from Guangdong and the Italy team is from Shanghai. The joke going around China is that for the US they will send in the Taiwanese team.
