Just had a thought: hurricane season is coming. Are chuds going to protest evacuation? They're essentially being forced from their homes, right? Are they going to hold up "give me liberty and death" signs? Florida's response as well as the other southeast chud states combined with potential mass evacuations uh hoo boy hurricane season is going to be a doozy

I know someone who lives in one of the hardest hit counties in Iowa who insists on taking their 90 some year old dad on a road trip to one of the counties that is open so he can get out of the house  I seriously have to stop myself from saying "just hold a pillow over his face it'll be quicker". Although this person is actually good hearted in so many other ways they just don't understand the danger so I couldn't bring myself to say it

Flesh Forge posted:so, Texas has had 33,573 cases vs 935 deaths = 2.78% CFR, which is still really suspiciously out of line with all the other states with a lot of cases (even Florida) TN somehow has a 1.6% CFR. I really hate to sound  but I'm convinced my state is flat out lyingWe also somehow have a 46% recovery rate. Here's the definition of a recovered case on the TN department of health's website: "People who are confirmed asymptomatic and have completed their isolation period, or are at least 21 days beyond their first positive test" We are flat out just counting anyone as recovered as long as it's been 21 days since their covid test without any follow-up to actually see if they're still sick lmao

Notorious R.I.M. posted:I think the end result is that a bunch of other metroplexes end up reopening and then following NYC's model: surge until about 20% infected, then slowly suppress cases. I think Americans are too stupid to suppress cases with 0% herd immunity advantage, but 20% or so seems to be about the proper amount of training wheels since an R(t) < 1.25 is good enough rather than needing < 1. Herd immunity of 20% would mean R0 is still at 4. You need herd immunity of 70% to bring it down to 1.5 and then over 80% to bring it below 1. The NY outbreak didn't slow down due to any meaningful change in R0 thanks to herd immunity. It was due to the lockdown actually working.

All the chuds crowing about how if you wear a mask you must be a scared little baby is projection. They refuse to wear a mask because then they will have to admit that this poo poo is serious and it scares them. They hate it when other people wear a mask because it reminds them how scared they actually are deep inside.

Thoguh posted:I was finally able to get my surgery rescheduled to fix my ruptured bicep. The surgery isn't for another three weeks but they are requiring me to go to my primary care doc next week to get a COVID test. The test is on the 27th of May and the surgery is on the 8th of June. I understand the thought behind requiring the test but that's just shy of two weeks before the surgery, which is a lot of time to go from negative to positive. I know this was pages ago but are they not having you go into isolation between your test and surgery? That was the policy for my surgery. If not then uh yikes and good luck

Hancock County TN just got its first case. This county is rural and tens of miles away from anything. There's literally nothing there so no one's traveling there. The people who live there are also too poor to travel anywhere else. This is the tip of the iceberg and I predict TN is totally hosed now.

Dr_0ctag0n posted:Unless testing is mandated and forced we will not have accurate counts. The virus is asymptomatic or has very minor symptoms in a huge number of confirmed infections so nobody is going out and getting tested. Did you even bother to look up an update? They were asymptomatic. 3 of those inmates have died already.

Notorious R.I.M. posted:While SARS-CoV-2 has a very high R0, it looks like it also may have a very low dispersion factor. That means that it goes off like a bomb in the right places and doesn't really spread evenly at all when the ingredients aren't right. Here's parts from a good thread on it: I read in a study somewhere that 80% of secondary cases were caused by only 8% of initial cases. IIRC that was the case in the first SARS outbreak too. Most people would spread it to maybe 1 other person, usually someone in their household or to a HCW, but then there would be superspreaders that would spread it to like 80-100 other people. Epidemiologists still don't know if superspreaders are due to different behavior or different physiology (eg viral shedding).

The most likely scenario is that covid will become endemic and due to mutual selective evolutionary pressure over the course of several years, maybe decades, it will eventually become just another mild cold virus like the majority of other coronaviruses. Humanity had a window of opportunity back in February or March to prevent this if we had all done full rear end lockdowns mass testing and contact tracing but we didn't so welp

The real question is how much retail and dining goes under if more people don't suddenly decide to start going out again. Nah poo poo's going to get wild. Summer months, especially June, are big for weddings. Some of the chud states (Iowa  ) are allowing weddings to start up again.

Thoguh posted:Meh, we never had a huge spike after Easter. There will be some weddings that are superspreader events but they'll get lost in the noise of some churches/gyms/restaurants spreading it. I don't think we're gonna drop but this will cook along all summer while most people work from home, sports and concerts are canceled, and school is out of session. This fall as more offices back fill up, kids go back to school, and we have football games... Then shits gonna get wild. What are you talking about? If you search "coronavirus Easter" you'll find plenty of articles discussing local and regional Easter spikes around the country. The only reason there wasn't a nationwide spike was because most places still had social distancing orders. I mean it will probably cook over 4-6 weeks because that's how long secondary and tertiary cases will take to appear but lol if you don't think poo poo's going to be popping by the 4th.

Dean of Swing posted:So when is the infection bump going to hit? About 1 week for incubation, another week to develop symptoms, get tested and then get results. This would also be the incubation for all the contacts, plus 1 more week for symptoms etc. Although peaks start getting huge when the third generation appears. So probably about 4-5 weeks.

I lol every day that chuds who call millennials "snowflakes" are throwing tantrums about having to wear masks. It's literally the least inconvenient measure you can take. And it's a hell of a lot less inconvenient than multiple months of lockdown. Actually that's the stupid part. They want all the businesses to open up but then they also want to take no precautions. You can't have your cake and eat it too ffs
