I am absolutely getting this stupid virus. You remember that scene from Contagion where the doctor is in a restaurant and he just has a moment of paranoia looking at everything around him and all the touching of glasses and the talking into people's faces and poo poo? I'm going out of my way tonight at work to be careful and, I think I washed my hands about a couple dozen times combined with using gloves regularly, disinfecting and wiping down everything, and I still kept catching myself doing something that would've transmitted the virus into my respiratory system because CONSTANT VIGILANCE! is nearly impossible when I have to keep track of all these tables, all the orders, all the customers, all the new tasks we have to do And I'm like "gently caress" Then I go "gently caress it it doesn't matter, look at what all the other idiots are doing, you would've caught it anyway" Then I go "gently caress"

surely this can't stay swept under the rug like this for long, that is such a comically absurd and impossible to explain any other way difference from last year to this year. And I'm sure just about every state is doing the same thing. I feel like the dam is gonna break on this and the number of dead americans will suddenly be found to be 250k or something

Even the nominal opposition or journalistic institutions won't report on anything that big out of decorum poisoning.

SKULL.GIF posted:Judging from what I've seen tonight, and this is in an actually fairly conscientious place judging from other anecdata I've been picking up, I am convinced that we as a country have done absolutely loving nothing to reduce the max spread of this virus. Not one single thing. At best we've slowed it down several months, but COVID-19 is going to hit every single last person in this country that it would've hit in the first place if we had taken the Sweden route. Yes. Feeble attempts to stop the virus failed utterly. Stopping it was probably never really possible, not as long as international travel exists. Slowing down was somewhat effective, buying us more time to figure out PPE supply lines and study what treatments work -- less than we might have hoped, but still better than nothing at all. Now it won't stop until at least 80% of the population has immunity. Either by everybody getting sick and half a million Americans dying, or continued weak attempts to slow it down dragging things out until we get a vaccine in 2 years.

By this point, in the USA, the true extent of the spread will measured by the waves of ICU capacity shortages throughout the country. Best we can do right now is to not forget the reality that this is not over. We did not win. 100k deaths was the goddamn shadow of what we now face. Tell people to wear a fuckin mask and stay home if they can. Every one of you should be at the forefront of the push for change after this. Most of you saw this coming a mile away, and most of you understood how and why our capitalist system would fail. Teach others how to do the same. You're good people.

if 80% of Americans get it, it’s going to kill way more than a few hundred thousand people. 1% IFR would give us 2.6 million corpses. Every percent after that gets you another 2.6. if hospitals collapse or get strained again, or if the IFR is actually higher (and the secret pneumonia pandemic points to that tbh), then we’re way off the reservation on what people will tolerate. IMO. Every society and every form of propaganda has a band of effectiveness and a breaking point. 6 million dead is way beyond anything that has ever stressed the US.

That gets into the territory of everyone living old person personally knows someone who died. the death toll in florida being like 3.5x as bad as the official numbers makes me wonder if they aren't already in just as bad a spot as new york w/r/t deaths per million population, but with less response and less of a gently caress given so it's just gonna keep going like this until more people have died in miami than in new york

I mean, we can also just pretend it didn't happen. americans so far haven't been fazed in the slightest by 100k dead, like, not even a little bit. we literally don't give a single gently caress. I kind of think 50 times this many dying still won't mean anything to most americans compared to "I want to go to applebee's"

I kind of think 50 times this many dying still won't mean anything to most americans compared to "I want to go to applebee's" I disagree. 100k is still in the realm where most people don’t know someone dead, and small enough that we can physically keep the disaster shunted off to the margins. It’s macabre but just physically dealing with 3 million corpses is such a big task that you can’t keep it out of sight, never mind the emotional side of things.
