Dog can catch it but we don't know if it even does anything to them or they can transmit it because it dies(the virus not the dog lol) too fast.

People can't stop leaving their houses and going to parks and poo poo so the New Jersey governor just ordered them all to close. Grocery stores are also ordered to limit their stores to 50% capacity and everyone inside must wear a mask, employees and customers. I was at the store yesterday and I'd say it was about 50% at the time. We went from 1k to 1.5k dead so far this week in NJ so I'm sure it'll get worse before it gets better.

It can't be stressed enough that we actually don't know a whole lot about this virus yet and new information that subsequently needs confirmation is being pushed out all the time.

Nothing about this is a fast process.

Right. Proper experimentation takes months to years, and pressure from people and governments to get results sooner more often than not has the opposite effect, as bad researchers muddy the water with poorly-constructed trials and badly-run experiments push garbage data that can be used to reach incorrect conclusions which people and governments latch onto, pushing for more research and time to be dumped into dead-end "cures" and "treatments" that ultimately do little or nothing.

We're probably going to find out that some subset of the information we've been leaning on for the quarantine has been wrong the whole time, in fact. The impossibility of human-to-human transmission, the idea that most cases are at least fever-symptomatic, the idea that dogs can get it, the hope that infants can't get it, are universally asymptomatic, or cannot get it badly enough to die, all disproven, and now we're building solid cases against the surface transmissivity and the viability of the Trump Pills, but whether or not they fall this list can only get longer.

Just about the only thing we know for absolutely certain is that we don't have an abundance of evidence and we lack the means to collect more quickly, because the hospitals with a lot of cases (and therefore the possibility of experimentation and testing) are almost universally understaffed and undersupplied and cannot spare the time or equipment to conduct reliable experiments and collect viable data. Unfortunately, this sets the stage for bad actors to fabricate or cherry-pick evidence to "prove" whatever they want, a lot of which is absolutely already happening.

As I've said before, I'm being over-cautious and zealously recommending over-caution to my friends and family because even though you might look dumb in retrospect for washing your hands every 30 minutes and minimizing going outside if those turn out not to have been necessary, you'll look a lot dumber if you don't and then die.

And here is a symptom of the problem. Dogs don't seem to be able to get it normally, I can only find two cases where a dog has gotten it, both from deliberate exposure in a lab and both in China. There is no reason to think dogs can get it normally from the data we've got.

This is the truth. I'm fine with quarantine because my life was destroyed back in 2016 and I barely left my house before this happened because I was often physically unable to. Not much has changed for me. I just get to rest a whole lot more now that I don't have my part time job anymore.

Watch a couple YouTube videos on spotting fakes if you haven't already. The counterfeit ones are prolific and you have no idea what's in there. Easiest test is to turn it upside down and see how fast the bubble moves, if you can see it moving second by second, it's been made by some random

I thought the concern was not whether or not there was genuine weed in it but other dangerous additives like vitamin e which will basically do the same thing to your lungs as a bad case of roni

I like how the shaded areas of uncertainty make it look just as likely that the numbers will be lower than the line as higher. Like this isn't a wildly optimistic projection, and it's just as likely that deaths stop at 55k as go all the way up to 80k, but surely no higher.
Okay so with those charts, I had the same initial reaction of "what kind of fanciful nonsense IS this?" but it's really just a wrap-up chart of the better and more reasonable forecast charts above it on the page. It's not its own thing, just a different way to visualize the same data set that happens to look utterly ridiculous when viewed in isolation.

https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-kingdom

There's still a ton of unknowns, but this isn't a fly-by-night sorta deal run by statistical novices. It's run by health statistics guys, not politicians.

It's all just a projection, to be sure, but those two charts are less dumb in context, and they will change as the observations change. :shrug:

This is an especially terrible idea given the number of cases in New York, New Jersey, and DC. You don't ease restrictions while your neighbor states go into progressively harder lockdowns unless you want to import their problems and make them yours.

The dead are buried in trenches.
