I think the best scenario is to slow down the rate of infection as best as possible so that healthcare doesn't crash. Wait and hope a vaccine is available sometime next year.

As i stated before, all my family are doctors, currently on the front lines in hospitals here in the hotzone, i'm on quarantine. I'm fully willing to skype call them if you want me to. No, i'm not joking, people need to take this seriously and i'm willing to do all i can to give a clear representation of how grim it is.
(This goes for anyone else who is in your same situation, drop me a DM if you need to)
Coronavirus: All sport in Italy suspended because of outbreak
All sport in Italy suspended until at least 3 April because of the coronavirus outbreak, the country's prime minister says.

The UK Government needs to be more proactive and implement these kinds of measures.
Burning Cat Con in Portland has been postponed until 2021
Can't say I'm surprised, "world's largest game of freeze tag" doesn't sound like a great idea right now!

immune? I thought we have already seen cases of re-infection.
That's a good source of info with proper sources cited. Thank you for sharing.
I agree with this post. No reason not to keep up hygiene and help preventing an infection, either for yourself or others.
Not everyone will get infected. Heck, take the flu this year. We have five people in my family, with two members who never cover their mouth when coughing or sneezing. And yet, me and my father never got the flu. All we did was wash hands and not touch our face.
Only like 10% of people get the flu each year, and that's without us taking any special precautions as a nation. Even the worst-case scenario from that leaked hospital presentation that had so many people panicking only had 30% of the population being infected. The odds are still in your favor.
It's an incredibly kind gesture, but my parents won't listen to anyone but Trump and FOX news. Their minds are already made up.
Coronavirus can travel twice as far as official ‘safe distance’, study says
Health authorities advise people to stay 1-2 metres apart, but researchers found that a bus passenger infected fellow travellers sitting 4.5 metres away.

Wear facemasks if you have them in crowded places.
You only have to avoid the flu for a few months of the year, and there's your body's immunity to flu and the vaccine. We've got more than a year where you have none of those advantages. My money is on the virus
I work for a large company in healthcare and they just canceled all domestic travel. People are starting to trickle back to the office from Seattle and New York.
Guess I will start working from home.

Those numbers are climbing like Italy's. Not looking good.

Facemasks will not prevent it, especially off the shelf ones. Save the masks for people that are actually infected and the health care workers that need them.
I just linked you an article where it says facemasks prevented it.
Fuck him I'm more concerned with the dumbshits that don't wash their hands.
US announces economic measures after markets plunge on virus fears – as it happened
Cases spike sharply across Europe and emergency measures in place from California to Saudi Arabia. This blog is closed.

I'll clarify, certain types of masks can, but those aren't typically available off the shelf. Regardless, health care professionals and the ones infected need the masks first.
So he stayed in ICU for 19 days? No wonder ICU's are getting swamped (assuming most grave cases take around 2 weeks) :/US announces economic measures after markets plunge on virus fears – as it happened

That's a critical problem, at least 2 weeks of ICU seem needed in those cases... And so that ICU bed is occupied for so much time for the same person.
Yeah that was pretty funny.
I'll do the Vulcan salute from now on
Oh, I officially know someone who's having to self isolate. There was a case at her dentists which she visited last week! Fortunately we don't live in the same city. Starting to get real though.
used to live in Fulton. I wanna say I'm glad I don't live there anymore, but it's not like Fulton is very far away from me lol. it's a 30 minute drive.
So this is being kept hush hush, (so I have no sources, so believe it if you want)
so I work at a McDonalds and I just had a conversation with the managerhere in Australia a McDonalds has been shut down and all workers have been quarantined because a customer infected one of the staff.
what happened is a customer gave a travel mug to a staff member for a coffee, the mug was infected with the virus. McDonalds head office had stopped all travel mug sales nation wide because of this.
head office is likely keeping a lid on this because if word got out that a store was infected it would cause people to stop going to Maccas.

I live in Alaska so we are pretty much required to take Vitamin D during 8ish months out of the year. I do 6000IU of D3
The Italian government will probably apply a law tomorrow that blocks all sports events until April 3rd. Anyone's guess what that means to the various sports championships, cups. The Champions League and Europa League too, because unless UEFA stops those events too or allows Italian teams to play in a neutral team outside of Italy that's also gone. Reminder that Juventus, Napoli and Atalanta are still very much in the fight.
This whole thing has made me realize how much i touch my fucking face. Probably shaving off the beard soon to avoid it ;P
If you want vitamin D go outside for like 20 minutes.
Quarantine doesn't mean you can't go outside.
Yes it's so hard to not touch an itchy part of your face. We do that all fucking day. We just don't notice.
Ugh. First case in my county (Larimer in Northern Colorado). Fun. No information about her getting it from travel either. Wonder if this case was community acquired...

I was just saying at the current state mate.........but you are correct. Let's leave it for another thread, I'm still amazed our cases are as low as they are presently with being the central hub.....but we did just have that recent school positive test. I think the entire school is shutdown now.
yo if trump finds out all the McDonald's workers are working through the covid will he executive order Medicare for all
I live in Ireland so we barely get any sun anyway tbh. Constant storms every week in Galway
Thank god.....I have aetna
I wonder about those without insurance though.....hopefully Pritzer announces something for folks not covered or something.......
Well at least the insurance companies want you out of the way.....probably because they know it will cost them a fortune if a ton of people are running in public as this gets worse for prescription drugs.
This is really nice of you. I think one of the problems is that these type of people have been told NOT to trust anyone outside of their sphere, especially intellectuals and academia and now it may cost lives. Trumpism may be eating itself.
