Would a blood transfusion with a just recovered person make you immune? Imagine how much the rich would pay for that.

Serious post: the real reason that the 14% CFR fatality rate is useless during an ongoing outbreak is that recoveries/discharges will always take longer than deaths. It's only a useful number after the epidemic is over. Really, with how screwy the reporting has been I don't really think any country's self-reported numbers can be trusted. A thorough investigation after this is all over will reveal a LOT i feel like

Blech. I’ve had this vague, extremely mild sore throat for days on and off now, and can’t figure out if that’s an early sign or not cause there is so much conflicting info online. It’s just really weird and not something I’ve experienced before. It also sounds inline with allergies but I’ve never really had experience with allergies in the past, but we’ve had some really crazy spring weather so it’s possible it’s a pollen reaction...I dunno. And I’m supposed to go into work tomorrow! Great. And the situation is tricky because my work is handling this horribly. Basically no one is social distancing and it feels totally out of my hands. It’s a complete mess I don’t even want to go. They even told us to stay in the office, together more than we normally would to justify keeping our full time hours. But if I call in sick for any reason whatsoever We’ve been told that we can’t come back without a negative test, so calling in sick means I’m basically unemployed because it’s hard as hell to even get tested right now. The whole situation is loving garbage.

Gonna be "interesting" seeing how many in the UK follow the rules, and exactly how the police deal with it considering the government has eviscerated them (and everything else) over the last decade.

You know where things are inside your usual store. Grocery shopping already sucks as it is in these conditions. Now imagine doing in a store with an unfamiliar layout, unfamiliar procedures, and having no idea if any given item is actually out of stock or you just don't know where to find it.

The Dutch government just got a bit more serious today. They are going to start fining people 400 European funbux if they see more than three people standing closer than 1.5 meters away from each other. Mayors now have more power to close things. Any public gathering is banned excluding funerals. Salons have to close. Stores than remain open have to set limits on customers inside and provide better safety for their employees.

Maybe go volunteer at your local hospital Serious talk, you would make an excellent wiper-downer or whatever. Not jizz mopper, but corona-mopper.

Teachers are paid salary, not some daily hourly thing, and in lots of places still teaching, just via online stuff. Which is annoying and all sorts of awkward and weird. But uh... no seriously what are you talking about lol. Now teaching paras and substitutes? They're hosed by this.

Is there a lack of testing in NL? 10 times as many deaths with roughly the same amount of cases as Austria.
