Switzerland's federal government just escalated the crisis and has now taken control of the response, usurping the cantons' authority (which is a HUGE deal). All "non-essential" businesses are now closed, that's everything that's not a supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, post office, bank, gas station, convenience store, etc. Everything will stay shut down, nationwide, until APRIL NINETEENTH. They're also putting 8000 troops into service, mostly those with medical experience. They've stopped just short of full Italy-style lockdown, but that can't be far behind if people can't just voluntarily stay home even though there's nowhere to go. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/covid-19_switzerland-declares-coronavirus-crisis-an--extraordinary--situation/45620148 greazeball fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Mar 16, 2020 |

Inept posted:people need a purpose when poo poo is bad to keep their mind occupied Also planting trees is useful for more than just carbon sequestration. The old CCC programs seem like they were great for massive infrastructure projects. So not only did they let people find that purpose you mention, but they (often) did so in a way that made a real difference. That said, part of my job is hiring out tree planting crews for conservation work and drat have the rates not improved. Last crew I hired was something like $135 per thousand seedlings in the ground.

Hello. savvy investor here. Wondering what it means for the stock market that everyone is pretending to work from home, holding conference calls regarding projects with deadlines that can't be met, in support of products that will never ship, to a customer base who is in no position to ever buy them?

The market already reacted to this expected news, that's what that big cliff you see started in February is about. It's still trying to find the exact bottom. Don't time the market we are almost certainly closer to the bottom than we are to the start of the drop. If you pull it out you will pay more when you rebuy it and lose money. If you have extra money, everything is on sale!

But when I look at the graph, it's not even down to the 2008 number. not even close, and even though some great companies and apps have been made since 2008, like farmville, I wonder why it shouldn't go lower than the 2008 number?

so china is not having many new cases because everyone is cooped up and nowhere is open, that makes sense. people aren't getting sick but they also aren't living life, does the shutdown part still continue for months? i don't know how viruses work. will it die off if it doesn't get a chance to spread? if everyone in a country is locked down, and all the people who had it upon lockdown either succumb or recover, does the virus just disappear from existence at that point? how long would it take for that? i know a perfect lockdown is impossible, i'm asking if that is the logic of it.

Finland has officially gone on lockdown and declared a State of Emergency. The borders are closing, all people over 70 are officially quarantined, all government facilities and buildings are closing down until further notice and the government is urging all private businesses to follow suit. Finland has never before declared a State of Emergency, not even during the war. I guess this poo poo is really real, huh? Source

I'm not a doctor but yeah, when you get a virus, it's a fight to the death. The virus can live on surfaces for a few hours but once you recover, you don't carry it anymore. The problem is that people give it to someone else before they show symptoms, then it starts reproducing and that person passes it on, etc. Hence, lockdown.

Trump just did a thing On Saturday, the House passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act after negotiations with the White House. The bill, supported by President Trump and headed to the Senate, aims to provide money to most American workers stuck at home due to the coronavirus. If the bill is approved by the Senate and signed by Trump, it would grant two weeks of paid sick leave at 100 percent of the person’s normal salary, up to a $511 per day cap. It would also provide up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave at 67 percent of the person’s normal pay, up to a $200 per day cap.

large_gourd posted:if everyone in a country is locked down, and all the people who had it upon lockdown either succumb or recover, does the virus just disappear from existence at that point? yes, if there's no other living creature for the virus to infect. that is what seems to have happened to SARS. and that's why we were able to wipe out smallpox. if there's some animal that can be infected that people live in close proximity with, it gets much harder because the virus can 'hide' in the animals. it's harder to tell when animals get sick and you can't socially isolate a farmyard. so for a number of diseases we just have to live with them because we'll never be able to stop pigs and ducks from getting flu. so for this one we might be able to get rid of it since pangolins are not an animal that people live with, other than a couple awful markets in china. OTOH this one is waaaaay more infectious than SARS so it may be impossible to eliminate like SARS.
