So this has lasted a while now, eating Chef Boyardee straight from the can, blocking all sunlight from entering the room with hastily taped garbage bags in front of the windows. All social contact has been cut off, work is a distant memory. Using an old pair of socks to wipe up the results from last nights porn marathon. Also, what is this virus everyone's talking about?

The annoying thing is that if we do a good job containing it and prevent thousands of deaths from spreading information and reacting correctly, people will bitch that we took it too seriously cause "see? It didn't even kill that much"

rear end cobra posted:Italian kissing and hugging culture probably helped spread this thing too? I've been thinking about that argument a lot, as far as why Italy will be worse than the US (not that you're saying this, just seeing it around). I don't think it holds up. Americans notoriously eat out all the time, love fast food, don't wash their hands, love crowded bars, and generally just don't give a gently caress or listen to science authorities. People are rushing to get onto cheap flights, the bars in every city are packed, and there's no way any government could shut down bars and restaurants in the US. There'd be riots and looting. I feel like culturally we are just as pro-germ spreading as Italy or anywhere else.

The spread in the US will almost certainly be worse than Italy because of the oral-fecal route.

FlamingLiberal posted:That's a 7% death rate across the board It’s because Italy’s overall infection demographics are similar to SK’s from that graph, but only the very sick (mostly 40+) are getting detected there. So all of the deaths are reported in Italy, but only a quarter of the infected, making the death rate appear very high there just like all other countries with poor detection.

Of course the US isn't going to get its poo poo together so this is all a moot point anyway.

Glad at least some public events are being shut down. 99% of this bitching and "its just a flu" is coming from people I know who are super pissed about stuff they want to go to or watch being canceled. "Wtf they're canceling E3 AND every esports tournament? Omfg people are so retaaaarded its just a cold."

They believe the weak will all die, they'll rule the world, and there will be a lot fewer jobs that will go to men, so women will be forced to stay at home to be sex slaves and raise kids.

I actually managed to find some at a food store (Giant) in the Philly suburbs! I grabbed two boxes on the 3rd and another two on the 12th. The whole milk was gone that second time, but the rest was well stocked. I also bought an extra gallon of the ultra pasteurized milk because that has a may expiration date. I know we don't NEEEEEEED milk for our diet, but I need it for my sanity. Because if we don't have it, my three year old will ask for it at least 6 times a day, and I just don't need that.

Few things are more dangerous than dumb smart people. These dipfucks going ~we have a model a bloo bloo bloo~ can't possibly, at this point, model this thing correctly. And their dipfuck ideas assume that herd immunity for this virus is a thing, whereas reinfections from coronaviruses are not uncommon. Meaning herd immunity is a bullshit idea in and of itself, nevermind the fact that a whole bunch of people would get turbo-hosed by this policy along the way even if herd immunity were real.
