chitoryu12 posted:For comparison, SARS had a mortality rate of 9.6%. There's currently no indication that coronavirus is going to actually be some kind of Spanish Flu epidemic depopulating cities, except for what people hysterically post on Twitter. The way the media reports it, you'd think Wuhan looked like a level in The Last of Us right now. This coronavirus spreads much easier than SARS ever did. 50% of people are asymptomatic or have a slight cold and spread it during the entire course of their infection. It also has a 7-14 day incubation period before you manifest symptoms during which you’re also contagious. It’s why it’s R0 or rate of transmission is so high, nearly 3.5. The flu has an R0 of 1. 25% of everyone infected need to spend over a week in a hospital to get better, which overwhelms most hospital systems very quickly. This is why China as of two weeks ago was asking the WHO to get countries to start sending them hospital supplies because they are spent. Also why they built two 1,200 bed hospitals in a weeks time. Both of these are already at capacity. Also, the streets of Wuhan DO look like the last of us: https://twitter.com/abc/status/1225504703888461824?s=21 https://twitter.com/tomthunkitsmind/status/1225971834652418048?s=21 Edit: REDACTED https://twitter.com/darrenplymouth/status/1224985964445126656?s=21 Blind Rasputin has a new favorite as of 01:11 on Feb 14, 2020 |

I have a typical "goon body" so even if the Wuhan Flu only kills the old, feeble, and already sick then I'm pretty hosed.

zoux posted:Please link me to the internet where people aren't constantly melting down about the destruction of global civilization over this 2% mortality rate virus. Performatively shaming people for not talking about a thing that everyone is already talking about constantly is one of those dumb attention-seeking engagement tricks like telling people that someone doesn't want them to know something that should always be met with an immediate block every time.

Both of these are already at capacity. To be fair, most of the country has been on self imposed quarantine since around New Year’s. Mrs. Burd’s folks are out that way and have had a truck parked across the entrance to their village with signs up asking people to kindly gently caress off. There are some super dank meme material coming out of the country right now due to the sheer number of folks that are sitting around being bored as almighty gently caress. A decent amount of art as well for that matter. Apparently folks and the party are dropping off free food so no one is going out to prevent further spread of infection.

My opinion of it is it’s literally, “not great not terrible.” Just watch the news and check Twitter like once every few days. If cases actually do start picking up in the US then wear a mask in public places (please wear it correctly it should be firmly sealed around the nose and cheeks and chin) and use hand sanitizer after touching anything and wash your hands often. Do not touch your face in public places. But the quarantine actions are legion and may actually be working to keep it contained. I feel there’s a significant chance they keep it from going wildfire in other countries. It’s also very helpful that China is actually cooperating this time around. What you can do now is go buy masks rates for droplet and cough protection, hand sanitizer, maybe latex gloves. Masks are already sold out in Australia due to wildfires and now coronavirus. The entire country is simply out of them. Same as a few other places. Their prices will likely continue to rise as the world’s supply gets absorbed. So buy them early

You have to give China credit, in the span of like two months the internet went from protesting China's online censorship by calling their leader a gay cartoon character to praising China's online censorship for doing so well at suppressing to flow of misinformation about the coronavirus. America wishes it could sway public opinion online about its suppression of civil liberties that easily.
