i think its likely that this first wave kills less than 100k. the problem is once it slows down Capital will force through an economic reopening and we get another wave in the early fall, and the argument will be the first wave wasnt so bad and the economic consequences will be so disastrously obvious at that point people will just go along with it.

this sounds about right

the spanish flu happened pretty much the same way with two waves of people dying, both being about equal in # of dead

the last part isn't actually true. america's healthcare system, for all it's faults, has more ICU beds per capita than any other country (except germany, but we still beat them out a bit), even if overall hospital beds are lower per capita. maybe you can chalk that up to hospitals focusing so much on juicing their marketing that they over-build capacity for regular use but in this case, it's definitely doing work to keep down the death rate.



the question is if this advantage can counter all the other problems this country has

i wonder if this chart is for dedicated icu rooms/beds only or if it also includes acute care rooms/beds

when i was helping design hospitals pretty much the only difference between the two was icu rooms had 2-3 more available device hookup spots so it would be pretty easy to convert them into icu rooms if you knew you only needed a ventilator in the room to keep people alive

A question about the anti-bodies test. Do anti-bodies help prevent reinfection from a coronavirus? My understanding is you can have anti-bodies for a coronavirus, but those anti-bodies do not help the bodies immune system prevent future occurrences like influenza viruses.

I am probably thinking wrong--but it seems the only way the roni is going away is if we hide from it long enough for the virus to die off. And with the confirmation covid is transmittable to domestic animals like cats--fat chance of that happening.

(the silver lining--if my line of thinking is right, we won't be wasting money buying lots of lots new ventilators...)

you can still get sick from it but having antibodies means you are much more likely to just have it develop into cold or mild flu like symptoms than death

Running nose vs death....hmmm....thanks for making me feel a little better about the next year. :)

the flu "vaccine" doesn't make you immune to getting sick like other vaccines, it just means instead of getting wiped out for a week you'll feel crappy for a few days and maybe miss a day of work*

*provided you are exposed to the like 3 strains of flu the people making the vaccine think will be active that year

I am very interested if there is any protective effect from being constantly exposed to the other human coronaviruses (virii?). I know when my son was born for the first 4-5 years he and I got sick every 6-8 weeks thanks to daycare. Curious after the dust settles if a large portion of mild/asymptomatic cases were parents with younger children.

maybe :shrug:

i'll have to ask my gf about that this weekend since she's a microbiologist/virologist

i do know that being in super indirect contact with very weak or incomplete strains of the virus is a legit good thing which is why we make it a point to go out on walks together

I don't think there's an actual secession movement forming yet (outside the cranks), but the groundwork is being laid, particularly if some bullshit happens in November like cancelling the elections or if Trump wins again and cranks the acceleration to max

also if there is a bunch of fuckery with the census
