Grizzled Patriarch posted:the majority of the us would be outside the radius of the lava and the bulk of the ash, but it would basically destroy all agriculture in the us, gently caress up water supplies, and knock out the power grid, and in worst-case scenarios it would make rainfall decline so sharply that most of the worlds rain forests would die, etc. Really getting tired of all these slow motion disasters. Give us a giant asteroid or something instead.

Well, a second person at my wife's work has it. And they aren't shutting down or doing anything special. It's been nice knowing you goons because it's definitely going to end up in my household sooner rather than later.

FizFashizzle posted:there's really no point to do testing tbh I generally agree but a lot of policies and rules are being written around "exposure to a confirmed case" so not testing fucks over people who can't get access to stuff like 2 weeks off to quarentine because they can't prove that their spouse has it and poo poo like that. So they go to work and spread it around.

Rad-daddio posted:That BPM is either really good or really bad. I'm a goony goon but mine generally sits around the upper 60s or low 70s and if I don't drink for a month if drops to the upper 50s. If I'm also working out regularly it drops to the mid 50s. So that doesn't seem to far off. Given what's going on with high BP being a risk factor I probably should not drink this month because my BP is high and that'll lower it. Plus generally just not depressing my immune system. gently caress, I'm gonna face the apocalypse sober. That's' bullshit.

Paramemetic posted:Even of known cases, even in the US, only 5% need hospitalization. Of the 5% that needs hospitalization, 20% die. The "oh poo poo we're hosed" stuff is from when hospitals are over-run and is the entire reason to try and slow it down so that there is time to manufacture sufficient PPE and ventilators which is also why our response to this at a federal level is so terrible because we aren't utilizing this time before the peak to be churning that poo poo out.

I tested positive for Covid 19 , I was super sick for 2 weeks prior to going to hospital, I was trying to ride it out (I’m 35 , no health conditions) but I finally went to the ER and I had pneumonia in both lungs. On the bright side you've made it through so now you're basically a superhero in the post apocalyptic universe.

Limerick posted:I have no idea what the USA is going to look like in one year but I feel I can safely say we're all hosed. Slow down, but only because 90% of the service industry is already laid off. The next round will be factories that produce things that aren't being purchased right now, is my guess. A bunch of them are currently on furloughs but it isn't like the situation is gonna be drastically improved in a few weeks when the furloughs are up. The economy is pretty much ground to a halt other than grocery stores and big box stores.

We're gonna get a bunch of extra people killed just because she's digging her heals in on this. And it's doubly stupid because according to the info out there Iowa is actually sitting pretty good on number of hospital beds and ventilators as long as people take things seriously and flatten the curve.

Paramemetic posted:it would be inefficient to scale up testing capacity because eventually everyone will have the disease or we'll cure it and then what will we do with all that testing capacity???? One of the biggest failures of government in all this has been a lack of committing to buying a poo poo load of supplies such that companies can know if they retool or invest in equipment they'll have market for it. Like we should be signing contracts to buy thousands of ventilators and tens of millions of masks and if we don't end up using them all who gives a poo poo.

Our area, like NY is about 10 days ahead of the rest of the country on this but hopefully we are peaking. If so I expect a rebound in mid May once we open back up but by then we’ll have 15 min covid testing.
