And yeah, flattening the curve is a about letting medical services respond without being overwhelmed, not just saying "gently caress it, let's try Society again in 18 months", not that this won't be extremely rough.

You know how in school you read about some horrible event and you ask why the people didn't see it coming with all the warning signs? You know how the answer is oh they did but they didn't think it would be this bad? That is this right now. We might be on the road to handling it so it's not a complete poo poo show though

QuarkJets posted:It's still unclear to me how many infected people can truly be considered "mild" in the way people normally think about illness, like how a mild cold might be sniffles and a cough for a few days. The studies of case severity designated "mild" as anyone who doesn't require a machine to breathe for them, I'm more interested in the people who are actually asymptomatic or so mildly symptomatic that they barely notice that they have it; I have absolutely no sense for how common those cases are. All of the case reports I've read describe significantly diminished breathing capacity, aches and pains throughout the body, high fever, and being sapped of energy for up to a few weeks; what's the frequency of cases where people just trudge along and are like "oh I had coronavirus? Weird" I wonder about that, too. Anecdotal but there's that basketball player who touched all those microphones to be funny and then turned out to have the virus, there's Idris Elba who apparently has no symptoms whatsoever. I don't know about the Hanks couple. But I hope most people are asymptomatic. And to agree with the German goon a few posts back: here in Europe poo poo turned real last week. Where last week I went to work and stores etc. like normal (well, we talked about the virus a lot at work) now I am not allowed to go to the office and I work from home. I went to the supermarket yesterday and tried to take as much precautions as possible. In my case I tried to keep distance in the supermarket, but other people did not so some people still came really close. Then when I sat in the car I washed my hands with hand-sanitizer. It struck me how many people were in the shop area, some just sitting on benches next to each other enjoying the sun and kids playing. Although a lot of public life has shut down (businesses, movie theaters, restaurants etc.) a lot of people still don't see the danger or choose not to socially distance. Supermarket stock was pretty bad though for some stuff, like milk, bread, meat, paracetamol.

I feel like it's getting handled despite the people in charge of handling it. My local grocery store here in Michigan is moving to have their first open hour (6-7am) be for 60+ customers only, which it basically is already. That's nice to see but the shelves are getting real, real bare. No chicken, eggs, milk, even sausage and beef is getting really low. Plenty of bologna and a smattering of hot dogs, that's about it for protein. No bread, beans or rice, very low quantities of canned veggies and soups and this has been since Sunday morning. Plenty of hummus though! The foreign food section has everything except tortillas.

They only ended up being mild because we had a very rapid response to them. CDC usually lead the charge on that, and were even the ones to send test kits to other nations. SARS wasn't nothing to the people who contracted it. MERS, same. Both had long-lasting lung damage associated with infection. Swine flu was the same deal, and concerns about avian flu becoming easier to spread among humans remains quite real. That's the problem with having legitimately competent people at the helm. The poo poo that sounds bad turns out to be not quite so bad because everyone did everything right (except for China trying to pretend that SARS didnt exist). EDIT: also yeah it goes without saying that Ebola is a loving monster in and of itself like lol that bad boy started out with a 90% fatality rate.

My girlfriend, who is from chile, is currently mentally slamming her head on the table from what she's hearing from her family and friends. The chilean government is loving around as usual, the health system is normally already stressed by the seasonal flu and woefully underprepared for this, and her family is convinced that gargling and drinking vinegar kills the corona virus. People are really stupid and really hosed, my god.

We've lived in suspended existential threat for the past 20 years. Its like when history "ended" in the 1990s we've needed a threat constantly. Now that one's here (or something close to it - this isn't world ending), there's a sizeable population who are just fatigued I think, or arrogantly think they're not affected. I get those people but I also want to shake them, because when this hits them, the rug will be pulled out from under them and they'll hit the deck hard.

This is also definitely some of it yes I agree, but all of those especially in terms of transmission rates were nothing like this.

In Turkey, a mid-ranking bureaucrat from Northern Cyprus broke the quarantine by sending police to pick his daughter from the literal quarantine bus carrying people fresh off the plane and had a "well my daughter is important" press conference after a massive backlash when her name got out. Another instagram "influencer" girl broke quarantine after arrival and posted stories from the most populated district of Istanbul and now trying to hide from the police and public. My sister who has chronic asthma and recently had a baby keeps visiting my mom after seeing her husband (he works in a big supermarket chain, almost 16 hours a day now due to demand) at her home despite me yelling them on the phone. She's like "I HAVE A BABY AND I NEED HELP AND I'M ALONE" which is like exactly what she has to do but she sounds she's hellbent on killing my mom by acting like a petulant child. Like, selfishness and stupidity really know no bounds.

Someone stole all the toilet paper and tissues from the bathroom at the casino multiple times last night. I had to close one bathroom and take turns posting with my officers at the other bathrooms. It was honestly pretty funny. Whoever took the TP didn't break the locked holders, they just unspooled it into a bag or something. That is the working theory.

I don't know about the Hanks couple. But I hope most people are asymptomatic. My solution was to go to the supermarket at 7 AM yesterday when it opened. Worked out reasonably well as it seems the desire of people to stay in bed, trumped the desire of people to go to the supermarket.

I'll try to talk to my brother in law and see where he's at being the more sensible one of the two.
