The goal is to keep the hospitals at exactly peak capacity so the virus can burn through the population ASAP without causing excess deaths from people not being able to get care. We are far past the point of containment, when this is all over there WILL be millions of dead Americans, even if the lockdowns are extended for 1000 years because people have to leave their homes to buy food, which means that they'll eventually get infected.

the great public's works project of this economic crisis could be a nationalized grocery delivery force, but alas, cowards, all

I thought Australia was supposed to be the chud nation of the southern hemisphere. How'd they get it right this time?

we're just too far away from all the rich europeans to have had a bunch of imported cases show up before we could catch them. also the prime minister formed a 'national cabinet' with state premiers that then successfully pressured him into doing coherent national policies for social distancing etc. its kinda like if all the new balkanised regions in the US actually scared trump instead of making him more belligerent

Interesting paper for the BCG heads:

quote:

Conclusions. BCG vaccination prior to influenza vaccination results in a more pronounced increase and accelerated induction of functional antibody responses against the 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) vaccine strain. These results may have implications for the design of vaccination strategies and could lead to improvement of vaccination efficacy.

The only way I think you can get BCG vaccine in America is if you are in a high risk group for TB, but I've talked to a nurse who works in a TB treatment hospital in Texas who said that even she does not have the vaccine. So I don't think it's very easy to get. Apparently there is a lot of TB in Texas.

If only there was some way to prevent that... :thunk:

We're averaging like 30k cases a day as is.

What do they think is going to happen when we blow past 60k cases and 4k deaths a day? Politically and economically the states/governors making these decisions are going to be crushed. How do they not see that?

They do not care because the people pulling the strings will not be affected by this. The rich just want us generating wealth and value they can continue to extract from us until everything is dead.

That's clearly not going to happen, testing has been ramping up in the last week and is double what it was the month before that.

The rich tend to be the old and they're at the most risk of dying.

Once it starts scything through the upper class and wealthy neighborhoods they're going to freak out the most. And it will happen if they open up like this.

they will blame the liberals and win re-election in a landslide. lol @ u for thinking results matter in red states. MS is literally dead last in almost every possible metric states can measure to compete with each other with and has remained under republican rule for basically forever. it literally does not matter how badly they gently caress up, they will still win the next election

no, they said there is not yet evidence of immunity, which is NOT them saying that there is evidence that you don't gain immunity either, they think that there is a chance of some immunity.

it's looking like somewhere around 2/3rds of people probably gain a months or years long immunity, but that 1/3 of people might not and that herd immunity requires 86% of people being immune for something with an r0 this high

specifically what has been said is that we don't know if catching and surviving the virus confers immunity. If it does we don't know how long it lasts.
