Same for Colorado. This thing's not over by a longshot, and we'll keep getting more outbreaks until testing and targeted isolation become practical, but it is manageable.

I’m very worried about the chuds going “See? It wasn’t so bad” and going back to their old behaviors immediately. However, I can still focus on doing the right thing for my family. No movies, concerts, large gatherings, etc. for us until there’s a vaccine. Period.

Doc Hawkins posted:this is not just a chud thing. most people need to work to eat, and everyone has trouble understanding abstract dangers. I'm talking more about going back to old behaviors of not social distancing, not wearing masks, not washing hands, etc. People have to go back to work but it doesn't have to look like it did 6 months ago. Yeah it's hard to deal with abstract dangers, but the Chuds are the only ones I've seen calling this whole thing a hoax and insisting on shaking hands, calling people to gather in crowds to support businesses, and flaunting guidelines.

Mr. Nice! posted:R0 refers to how many people an infected person subsequently infects. Models were built on an r0 of 2.5 or so, that is that someone infects on average 2 and a half people. Turns out that's less than half the actual observed r0, so this thing is actually infecting a lot more people than we expected. That means that for herd immunity, vaccination, etc. our models way undershot and it's going to be worse/take longer than previously expected. Note this is extremely situationally dependent, and what the paper describes is most relevant for describing the early outbreak in China and not necessarily the behavior in other areas. For example, the authors state: "Among many factors, the lack of awareness of this new pathogen and the Lunar New Year travel and gathering in early and mid-January 2020 might or might not play a role in the high R0." If you looked at the number based solely on that woman in South Korea that infected multiple churches, the R0 would be 1,000.

There haven’t really been stories about reinfections anywhere apart from one or two possibilities that seemed to indicate testing issues more than anything else. Reading the article, it says that it was young people who experienced mild symptoms that had the low antibody counts, while older folks had the expected amounts. If that means a vaccine would be most effective in the older population that seems ok. Edit: and then you have comments like this: https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1247780776277467136?s=20 loving Twitter, man. Please don’t let it scare you.

I think the goal is to thread the needle by telling people that what they're doing to help is meaningful and working while keeping them from thinking they can start to relax. Cuomo can attempt that for his state, but he's not going to get out there and say "But buckle up, Florida!" Well, now that I think of it I think he actually has said that multiple times.

Stravag posted:Dont they not report a death as a covid death unless the person was tested for covid prior to the death? Its not like they have a surplus of tests so theyre using them only on some patients right? CDC guidance specifically states to report deaths with a COVID-19 statement if the disease is considered the primary cause of death or a contributor, with or without a test. Local compliance/enforcement is one thing but I’m not sure where the idea is coming from that there are stringent requirements for reporting a COVID-19 death. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-1-Guidance-for-Certifying-COVID-19-Deaths.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Apr 10, 2020 |

Forgive me for disagreeing with a Twitter man but a lit review that only makes the observation that smokers appear underrepresented in the number of hospitalized patients does not strike me as “bizarrely strong evidence” of the benefits of smoking, which we already know to cause a host of cardiovascular issues. Being dead at home also keeps you out of the hospital. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Apr 15, 2020 |

Defenestrategy posted:What can Trump actually do to "restart the economy" what ever the gently caress that means if no one actually pays attention to the dude? Cool, movie theaters/sports/what ever opens up but what does that matter if no one with discretionary spending actually goes out for fear of the corona? I mean sure you'll end up with weirdos who hang on trumps words going out and being dumb, but they're already doing it as far as I can tell. Trump could easily cause a situation where chud businessowners call their employees back to work in direct opposition to the orders of the state governor. Right now the chuds are grumbling but still abiding state leadership. What I don't get about the "re-open the economy!" chuds is how they expect to force people to patronize businesses that are just going to make them sick. It's not my loving duty to catch the 'rona at a movie theater.

Midjack posted:Did or did not we just have Florida spring break a few weeks ago? There are plenty of people who will run right out to stores, arenas, and theaters as soon as they’re open regardless of how terrible an idea it is. I don't think it's plenty enough to keep those businesses running like they used to for more than a few weeks, and certainly not once those people start getting sick and are forced to stay home anyway. I can think of a number of people who would take the chance but I suspect a lot more would not.

The death rate for kids is basically (maybe even actually) nil so when they say 2-3% they’re talking about the overall death rate for the population who would presumably become infected once kids become carriers and spread the virus to the vulnerable. Still ghoulish but not anything different from what those freaks have been calling for since lockdowns started.

I just can't get along with panicking and exclaiming that "we're hosed" every time Trump shits out more garbage on day 997,478 of this nightmare administration because I know it's largely ineffectual bloviating.

facialimpediment posted:If the chuddy fucks all over decide not to stay the gently caress home because going out owns the libs, the game's over and we're in for a second wave. I wonder how this is actually going to play out. I confront this behavior every day with coworkers and friends on Facebook pulling the "muh constitutional rights" and "it's just a 2% fatality rate!" bullshit while arguing that everyone has a duty to shovel money into their local Dave & Buster's. An extremist right wing group is planning a protest in my city with the direct backing of the administration, but it really doesn't have a lot of widespread support among the local population. I don't think it's Trump's base that will somehow force everyone out again, I think it'll be congressional (in)action on further stimulus packages that will change public opinion and force people to take that risk because they will be well and truly unable to care for themselves and their families. If the stories are accurate, the notion that the I in the DJIA is acting extremely cautious about reopening the economy might keep that from happening, though congress will still waste time with the usual game of brinksmanship.
