Having read war Z - lol. If there is one place where the actual Death Virus will originate, it's gonna be china. China is also well known for underreporting any negative numbers, so expect the actual count to be much higher.

man saying a virus is " a 2.6" is the lamest way to classify these things if you want the average human to take this seriously give it a cool name like "the virus is omega level" or "the virus is dragon class", that sounds dope as gently caress. "This is a 2.6" is for nerds.

So what's the actual risk of this thing. All I've read suggested that it's a slightly more dangerous flu, but nothing really ground-breaking?

Imagine everybody was suddenly monitoring everyone who had the flu, and whole cities would be closed down. That's what this is at this point. The main concern seems to be that China is incredibly unreliable about everything so nobody knows just how bad this thing is so far.

I don't want to spread any baseless rumors but I heard up to a billion Chinese are now dead and the horseman of the apocalypse, plague, has been seen with Xi jinping. Now this is only third hand rumors I read in a toilet Stall in a Chinese restaurant (run by Koreans) but with those inscrutable Chinese you never know!

200 people dying is propably the hourly average of people dying of smog in china. My theory is that China has been waiting for this to happen as they are propably well aware that they are a hotbed for the next superplague, and they're using this as a test run for when the big one hits. They can try out all their containment plans, show great leadership with Chinese characteristics, and learn what actually is going to work.

redreader posted:I have a colleague who is not dumb (master's in engineering) and her husband is an EMT. She never gets the flu shots because her husband has told her it's 100% worthless.

I've got a masters in engineering and let me tell you buddy, I ain't even the dumbest idiot in my year. Honestly the flu is so far in my life nothing more than a slight nuisance for a few days and I think most people can get by without a shot no problem, on the other hand it takes like 5 minutes and is free so why wouldn't you do it.

If you're concidering wearing a mask stay home you dumbasses. They're close to useless for protecting yourself and if you don't want to infect anybody that's when you stay home and don't be a selfish rear end in a top hat .

Dog Toothbrush posted:Wearing masks is actually an effective prophylactic against spreading the disease and somewhat-to-not-very effective against getting it, kind of important for a disease that’s communicable for weeks before symptoms arise. Performative my rear end Not really. Masks are one of those things that intuitively should work but the actual effect is very minimal. Surgical masks are basically as useful as hanging a tissue in front of your mouth, and these 95 masks only work if they're perfectly used. Generally the consensus seems to be that masks would have a small effect if people used the perfectly 100 percent of the time, but that's something normal people will find extremely difficult to do. The thing that actually helps is washing your hands and staying home when you're sick. There is almost not reason for anybody who is sick to go out, except if you live in a third world country where people get no paid sick leave. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/01/25/799007842/coronavirus-faqs-do-masks-help-is-the-disease-really-so-mysterious https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/23/health/coronavirus-surgical-masks.amp.html https://ohsonline.com/Articles/2020...aspx?m=1&Page=1

I meant not going out to work or socialist or do anything not strictly necessary for your survival.

Man I live in the most populous city in the EU, I'd get hosed by this too if it reaches here. At this point if people feel better with their dumb masks then go for broke, I'd vastly prefer if people actually practiced proper hygiene and self quarantine instead though. Or even better, both.

Jabor posted:So potentially infected people should go out to get food and stuff, but shouldn't bother wearing a mask to avoid infecting others while they do so? Not sure why you got probated, if this discussions is seen as detrimental to the thread I'll drop it, but the main problem right now is that masks are only recommended or all that useful when used correctly and appropriately for the situation. If someone is diagnosed as having coronavirus, is for some reason not monitored and absolutely has to go out by himself, then he should by all means wear a mask. In almost all other scenarios though, such as wearing one preventively, wearing them for prolonged times, moving around a lot while wearing one, not knowing how to use them, etc. they have very limited benefits and can give people a sense of false security which can cause more infections. On top of this I've read that health professionals are already seeing shortages of these masks, that they desperately need to take care of patients, because people who might never need them buy a shitload of them. I'm gonna drop this topic anyway and I'm sorry for derailing the thread with this, the importance of using health related tools and procedures correctly was hammered into me when I did my civil service as a young man, and I get irritated when people ignore scientific and medical research because they don't trust it. To be fair if a plague reached my city I'd do everything I could as well propably.

I've heard rumors that Chinese people in wuhan are currently locked into a death match with roving gangs of wild pangolins, who push them to the ground with their enormous titties while coughing onto them. Millions have died so far in this struggle. They've also acquired boats and are currently looking for suitable cruise ships to board. All of this might just be rumors but I want my fellow goons to stay up to date and safe.

God drat American health care is depressing to hear about every drat time. The biggest medical bills I've had all my life is this one time where I didn't go to the dentist for a few years and had to pay 200 for a teeth cleaning and about 7 plastic fillings. If I'd gone with the normal amalgan ones it'd have been free.

Yeah sure it's roughly 15 percent of pre taxed income, but as I understand it many Americans pay that much but still have ridiculous things like copay or arbitrary limits under which they have to pay?

WorldsStongestNerd posted:Its not at all. Most of the civilized countries with actual healthcare don't have a predatory college debt system. In fact those things seem to go hand in hand. In Germany Uni is literally free, and you can get a loan that you only have to pay 50 percent of, capped at 10k, if your parents can't support you. The capped at 10k doesn't means you don't get more than 10k, that's just the maximum amount you have to pay back. You do pay some semester fee between 100 and 500 euros, but that is usually just to cover your free public transport, sometimes including train tickets through an entire state. E: Getting a place as a doctor at a uni is almost impossible though, and many need to go to private unis that cost between 5 and 10k per semester, but if you've got perfect grades and are lucky you could become a doctor absolutely debt free. Yeah true, I studied in FL and we paid a bit more than 100 euros when I finished. In bigger cities or in the south people pay a few hundred generally though.

Barudak posted:Ive heard posited it would be a strong net positive in countries like Japan by simultaneously rapidly culling their aging population while preserving maximum wealth transfer to younger generation by parents not spending on last mile health costs. It is also undeniably a very good thing for the planet, as people dying and a recession are directly responsible for reducing co2 emissions. So let's just turn that frown upside down and praise papa nurgle for bestowing us this blessing of pestilence. Truly he cares deeply about our plight.
