Just like how relief workers going off to africa need to get a malaria shot, anybody who goes to the US for some poverty tourism will have strict guidelines around vaccination and decontamination upon return.

Nurge posted:Who contracts it is really utterly irrelevant. It's about who goes to the ICU and who dies. Do you think the 1.5% of 0-18 year olds will be filling up the ICU at a greater rate that the 60% of 50+ year olds? I'm going out on a limb here but couldn't you postulate that if only 1.5% of 0-18 year olds are actually catching it then they're unlikely to form a large part of the ICU cases or deaths. So not really irrelevant at all.

People are already beginning to starve in India, and many don't have clean water in their apartments, and previously relied on water delivery which is now banned by their lockdown. There are 1.3 Billion people in India. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/world/asia/coronavirus-india-lockdown.html https://www.pri.org/file/2020-04-01/covid-19-triggers-mass-migration-india Even if you don't "subscribe" to the NY Times' reporting (so to speak) and/or NPR, you would probably agree that a humanitarian crisis is imminent or already taking place in India. Its got me pretty worried  I found this charity that has a good rating (on Charity Navigator, which is another website I had previously never heard of, so whatever that's worth) and that appears to distribute funds globally.I can't actually vouch for it in any way so ... I am in the market for reputable Charities that go directly to India if anyone knows of any. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/coronavirus-relief-fund/

Here's an interesting article looking at the contact/droplet vs airborne debate: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2763852 TLDR: That distinction was made back in 1930 to describe TB transmission and hasn't really been updated since. Recent study of sneezes/coughs show that they form a warm, humid cloud of droplets of various sizes, traveling up to 23-27 feet and depositing droplets along the way. Of note, virus particles were found in the ventilation systems of COVID19 rooms when they tested for it in China

Nurge posted:Well. I mean. That's still quite a lot honestly. But either way it's kind of pointless to worry about. If you practice good hygiene you're pretty unlikely to die from it. Good hygiene, but no masks.  Who needs condoms when the rhythm method exists? Only 0.0001% of couples could use condoms correctly, am I right?

The upwind apartment had dozens of cases for days with the hosed-up sewer situation, so it’s not exactly comparable to “someone across the street had a cough”, but still bad.

Sucrose posted:I’m not saying that we in the US are not hosed, but you might want to check out coronavirus deaths per capita, dude. That'll be an interesting statistic to check after the current pandemic is over but comparing those numbers right now when we're only at the start of it is really really pointless. The USA is currently sitting at 15 deaths per 1 million population, if they eventually hit the 100k to 240k minimum the White House has predicted that'll increase to somewhere between 305 to 733 per million, and there's every chance it'll go even higher. Is that going to be better or worse than other countries? There's no way of telling right now and it'd be pretty pointless to speculate. gently caress Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Apr 2, 2020 |

Elon is such a rookie. Spend the extra eight hundred so you can say that you donated over one million dollars of ventilators (that aren’t actually ventilators). Also, remember when Musk and LAX had that spat on Twitter? LAX was right LOL.

The Scientist posted:People are already beginning to starve in India, and many don't have clean water in their apartments, and previously relied on water delivery which is now banned by their lockdown. There are 1.3 Billion people in India. I wish I had the article but the developing world is going to be in bad shape because all the major countries of the world are shut down and don’t have resources or medical personnel to spare like normal. I wonder what India’s real numbers are? The US already has 100K cases now and our population is 300 million. India has 1.3 billion people and they are crammed up. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have more cases then the US by now.

love to be that guy still arguing about how masks dont work when countries where masks are prevalent have maybe over 100 cases in three months and a face mask is the minimum PPE against the virus might as well be trying to convince everybody that its just the flu and not worth shutting down the economy or practice social distancing

Wouldn’t we be in pretty bad shape if a giant chunk of the country simultaneously got “just the flu” anyway? I mean, flu season is generally spread out over a bunch of months. And the flu sucks so much that we vaccinate against it.

I'm pretty sure even many years from now there will still be massive questions over what the really numbers were in many developing countries. But yeah what ever it is it's probably really depressing. (as The Scientist said, if a good charity is found to help out people in India dealing with this, please do everyone!)
