The number of deaths doesn't seem to be growing. Not growing yet might be implied there, but hopefully NY and NJ learned some lessons in treatment that others will have learned from. Until we fill up the hospitals at least.

Within the last month or so, they also have found a drug treatment that has been shown, with actual evidence, to significantly reduce the fatality rate. Even if more people get infected, the fatality rate is probably going to go down. At least until the hospitals fill up or the drug runs out.

Now that I've finished this daedric quest I have been bequeathed MERIDIA'S CLOTH MASK which convoys 100% resistance to disease and burns nearby undead for 5 hp each second. Time to go wrestle with some corprus beasts.

Here is a meta link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/05/20/coronavirus-does-not-spread-easily-surfaces-objects-cdc/5232748002/ I'm not seeing any journal publications in this article or in the CDC announcement showing that surface transmission is rare, only that the virus does survive on surfaces. And from the very start the CDC has advised almost the opposite to what's been advised by the army of scientists and doctors who are actually studying and treating Covid-19 So I'm going to remain skeptical about this claim

Undoubtedly good news, reducing death by a third in critical patients now we just have to deal with the potential crippling debt incurred by a weeks-long hospital stay, possibly in the ICU

Wearing masks and washing your hands and self isolating isn't a 100% guarantee that you won't get the virus, it just mitigates the probability as much as humanly possible. Even if you take every precaution possible you're still rolling the dice every time you step out your front door. On the other hand, there's also a chance that you might never get it even if you're an idiot who doesn't wear masks or maintain 6 feet of distance, just out of sheer dumb luck. It's all a crap shoot.

the whole point of following the social distancing and masks and stuff is to slow down the rate of contagion so that the system, shipping, farming, health care, etc you name it, isn't all affected at once i stopped reading the news as carefully as say when that guy got ducks instead of chickens but if its still as contagious as it was back then im pretty sure like uhh what everyone is going to get it?

all depends on where you live, which is depressing considering it should be a national response united not johhny hoggs wild world of rona freefer'all nyc where i am went from 1000+ deaths a day in april to 18 today in june. if we get sloppy we're going to be back to square one but it looks like we're one of the 4 or 5 states not in a scary spiral for once

Even if more people get infected, the fatality rate is probably going to go down. At least until the hospitals fill up or the drug runs out. I was skeptical about how big of a deal this was because of loving course you're going to treat respiratory inflammation with a common steroid. Today I read an article from the University of Colorado saying they've been treating people with this since March. So don't read too much into it.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Most epidemiologists have said from the very beginning they fully expect up to 80% of humanity to get it Yeah that was when they thought the best we could do was flatten the curve. It turns out that it’s totally possible to bend the curve to a decline and many countries have done that. With contract tracing and other health measures where applicable, they can keep the virus suppressed indefinitely, till a vaccine is available, and never have more than a single digit percent of the population face the disease.

The U.S. is almost uniquely incapable of dealing with this threat. I say “almost” because America has company in Brazil, Turkmenistan, and Belarus. The virus isn’t a bioweapon targeted at America, but if it were it would be a roaring success.

Lol that the one time America faces a common ennemy, which is the easiest way for a president to get full support and collaboration of the population like it happened after 9/11, the sitting president dismisses it as a hoax, dooming both his presidency and country. All this idiot had to do was to claim there is a war against coronavirus and that America must unite behind him to fight it back, but he's just too dumb to do anything else than attacking democrats.

He didn't follow gently caress-all when it comes to rules. He followed guidelines given by idiotic/cowardly us administrations who have to contend with a population base that is almost uniformly self destructive idiots. The RULES are: To protect yourself wear a N95/FFP2 masks or better; to protect OTHERS wear any other mask. If wearing community protection masks: Keep 2 meters distance from anyone with a mask, keep 10+ meters distance from any murderer without a mask (anyone without a mask is at least an attempted murderer at this point), do not be in public buildings that aren't actively and strongly ventilated (not stay, be, never be in one). To repeat the important part: Community masks only protect you if everyone wears one. Everyone. Sadly the USA has a hilarious abundance of assholes. Also: Make a conscientious attempt to wear it correctly, e.g. no pulling under the nose, which is something a lot of politicians love to do because they're idiots or have staff who want them to be murderers.

There are lots of people thinking they’re doing everything they can by wearing a mask their friend’s cousin’s grandma made and washing their hands. Spotted in another thread: quote:I did get a family wearing matching tyvek suits on the plane a few days ago, which the entire crew thought was pretty entertaining. I say “Good on them.”

He kept saying "it'll go away on his own" because his childhood church preached about magical thinking and he to this day believes saying a thing multiple times makes it happen. Now that we're deep in the poo poo and looking at probably 200,000+ dead this year, he realizes it's too late to "fix" this and is instead focusing on making people forget about it. I think somewhere in his tiny brain he realizes that politicizing masks was a mistake, but he's too vain to wear a mask or to admit he made a mistake. You can realistically pin 10s of thousands of deaths directly on Trump being dumb and lazy as poo poo.
