What was once a little-noticed local epidemic in Wuhan has broken out of control and is now a worldwide pandemic infecting over 856,000 people (officially as of 3/31 23:59 UTC) and likely much more than that (unofficially). COVID-19 / SARS-nCoV-2 / Boomer Remover / Corona-chan / or just simply Corona sent stock markets across the world into a plummeting nosedive, put dozens of millions out of work, and is currently overwhelming hospitals all across the West.

There is no vaccine, and there will not be a vaccine for several months at the earliest. There is some speculation backed by studies that the BCG vaccine may be effective in protecting against the coronavirus, but this is not confirmed. Do not drink aquarium cleanser, or really anything Donald J. Trump tells you to drink. Unless you're wearing a full body seal, masks are more about preventing you from spreading illness than they are about preventing you from catching the virus. Wash your hands, keep several feet of physical distance between you and other people, avoid going out as much as possible, and stockpile beans.

Laurenzi had heard anecdotally that many COVID-19 patients in Italy suffered from a loss of smell, so he started reading all the scientific papers he could find to see if his anosmia and ageusia would ever abate. One of the papers, a review published March 13, mentioned that SARS-CoV-2, like other coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, could target the central nervous system, possibly infecting neurons in the nasal passage and disrupting the senses of smell and taste.

she / her family at risk or is it just anxiety? at this point all you can do it minimize contact and hope for the best, if she needs something to do to feel like she's helping there's probably a mutual aid group in your area that will need volunteers/info/money

doesn't matter much what the total number of cases is, or what the number of hidden cases is, this shifts by a week or two at most



the only thing that makes a real difference is the transmission factor, and to change that we would have to institute serious lockdowns

So surely the CFR has to go down somewhat as doctors get more experience and gain better treatments right? Even in the old thread doctors were posting that they were having good results with certain therapies (IL6? I don't know what any of these mean) and while obviously they're not silver bullets there likely will be other therapies too that will together at least reduce the death rate?
