Fun Fact: snail used to be a slur for Lombards because they were slow to react to something once so that's why there are so many snails in medieval marginalia

I guess it's still relevant

Well, eventually 98% of them will get better and they can be forced back to work.

this kind of depends on the age of the average doctor and if they have hypertension, diabetes, etc

So our warehouse has been shipping for the last two weeks because the CEO decided that we qualified as essential (we definitely aren't) and today I found out that most of our senior management believe it's either a hoax or a Chinese bioweapon

So, even if it is a Chinese bioweapon, that wouldn't change the need to stay away from other people and half nonessential business.

this person is an idiot saying that the doctors in italy who had no choice but to give ventilators to younger, healthier people when they ran out is eugenics.

That's exceptionally dumb considering the whole point of eugenics is eliminating traits from the gene pool and the elderly who don't already have are most certainly not going to start now

Heard my CTO wondering aloud if the reason so many senior government officials in Iran were infected is because they tried to buy the virus as a bioweapon from China. Just utter brainworms

And they reason America has so many obese people is that the election system got captured by the corn industry and got their forever subsidy; plus the state has no motivation to keep its own citizens healthy and spend less money on health care cost because the healthcare system is purely for profit.

I love the reasoning for the bioweapon thing, like the only thing you can say considering it started there is "they made a bet that they could contain it without imploding as a nation and that we couldn't, even with a big head start" and like, well what's it say that they were apparently right?

Cities will absolutely be in a national guard enforced lockdown with soliders armed with real guns and humvees parked on street corners. Once enough police are sick and out of work, and enough random acts of violence like landlords getting shot start to pile up it's just an inevitability.

In spain they try to use the "patriotic" angle to make people shut up about it.

Meanwhlle they are on television talking about the millions masks and everything they have on the ready. They are in full 1984 denial.

Is barbaric, criminal. Many first responders are gonna die. Already 12.000+ medics and nurses.

As a rule of thumb you should multiply confirmed cases by 10 to get actual cases which covers people sick at home and never sought treatment, asymtomatic carriers and people still in the early stages of infection so we'll be at like 3 million on Saturday, yeah.-

The number #1 bioweapon strategy is to have it almost exclusively kill the elderly and infirm, and also to forget to develop a vaccine for it so it affects your country precisely as badly as the enemy's

Yeah plus over time it's basically a war of attrition especially if this the vaccine takes 2-3 years to be available.

Can you any country afford 2 -3 years of medical doctors and nurses dying off?
