It makes sense; right now you have to go through a huge fucking song and dance to get tested. They're not testing any John Doe who walks in with a fever and a cough right off the bat. You're going to have to either show a connection to the virus (travel, contact with a confirmed case) or have major symptoms and test negatively for like every flu test available. And even then, you still aren't guaranteed to get a test by your local Health Department. Basically, you have to have a decently high chance of having it already to get tested, so naturally the rate of positive cases is a lot higher. Once people can go to a medical clinic and say "I have a fever and a cough" and get tested on the spot, it will lower dramatically.
You know, assuming we ever get our shit together to have the testing capacity for that.
If the strain mutates, a vaccine may not be as effective even if it comes out sometime next year. We don't know if that will happen but I'm saying don't necessarily put all your hope into that.
Fucking McConnell says the Dem bill is too ideological and wants a smaller bill. WTF. Hate that fucker!
Wouldn't the virus mutating be good news-ish? Viruses tend to mutate to become less aggressive/fatal.
Took a day off and bought food for few weeks. It was relatively okay but people are really going nuts with buying toilet paper, feels like a meme. There was a dude with nothing but toilet paper in the cart.
Also it seems it took a virus to stop people from eating at McDs because the one near the mall I was at looked like a ghost town.

As we weren't fucked enough. Can't have the evils of socialism infect America along with the virus
In the midst of all this we still have elections going on. This could have some serious ramifications.
Another Serie A case.

Coronavirus will also cause a loneliness epidemic
We need to take both social distancing and the "social recession" it will cause seriously.

I've been curious just how poorly the US has mishandled this, so I wanted to see what our cases looked like compared to other countries. Most countries follow a similar curve to France(rough, but the trend looks to be there), China and Italy here. The only other country with a gap like the first one in the US graph is the UK, and I can't find anything else equivalent to that second long period with just a few cases each day.
I'm not a mathematician, but it looks like we should have a lot more diagnosed cases than we currently do. Eyeballing it, maybe at least double?

Have we got the results of the COBRA meeting yet? There's still hope they'll do something.
There are, yes, but honestly so many of our students receive accommodations--and we are so relaxed about things like going a bit over time on a test with everyone anyway--that it would be a real wreck to actually implement. Good in theory, though. Thanks.
A vaccine won't be available til next year. "Flattening the curve" probably means we have to remain in this shutdown state for the good part of this year, right? Some very renowned virologist already said that this virus probably won't slow down much in the summer.
No idea how this will work. China already wants to ramp up production again soon.
CBC released an article on how to self-isolate.
It is definitely far more serious than what is being reported, but this kind of thing isn't happening due to super secret inside information. We as a nation are locking ourselves down ahead of the tsunami. Later than we should have, but people are taking the initiative and doing it on their own. You can feel it now, where I am at least. People on the street are getting it. They're going into wartime mode.
If schools continue to refuse to close down, people will be pulling their kids. It's just very difficult to be that first parent who does this. The social pressures involved with being that freak who pulls out their kid are more intense than non-parents really know. The fact that the education bureaucracy isn't pulling the trigger and making this decision for the parents is an absolute national shame. Schools are one of the top vectors for spread of any disease.
My conspiracy theory is that these bureaucracies know that if all of the kids are home for a month, a meaningful percentage will notice that they aren't falling behind and indeed are moving ahead while studying at home, and won't return.
With how Europe is locking down right now, I think travels would be greatly reduced anyway. The US has bigger problems it has to fix.
It isn't just about keeping things secret, either: doctors are testing kits are a finite resource, and not everyone who has any chance of having the virus is tested. Not gonna throw random numbers that could just alarm people but it's obvious the numbers are much higher between those infected without having symptoms or those who just can't be bothered/can't afford to stay home sick.
So that's how a true world wide crisis looks like.
2020 looked so boring at first, where we complained about slow game releases in Q1.
Edit: I can almost guarantee Trump will be the last person on this damn planet to get the virus.

He'll have some kind of fucking natural immunity because of course.
The odds you will be able to go are very low, you shouldn't go anyway.

Last night was so creepy in my area of NYC. Nobody out, complete silence. And all you could hear were several helicopters flying back and forth.
How are we still at this point?

Here in Colombia, our sub-president declared sanitary emergency and announced the cancelation of every event with over 500 people.

We're late to the party but the adopted measures are for the greater good.
Duque decretó la emergencia sanitaria en todo el país por el coronavirus
En todo el mundo se han registrado más de 125.000 casos de infección en más de 100 países y territorios, causando la muerte de 4.600 personas.

still awaiting Pritzker to ban public events.......smaller venues have already cancelled. No way he will let 15,000 gather inside the united center come this weekend right?
Ugh I've been apartment hunting this past month and I feel like now I have to put it on hold until this thing at least calms down.
nah. He will go to a top hospital and be fine, the hate for poor people is strong in him.
I have one to Vegas in May too. I'm honestly not counting on it.
It does, I'm thankful that my region is taking some strong preventative measures. (seattle area)
We were going on the 22nd, that is for sure canceled now.
Indeed. Our district just announced a few minutes ago, they're trying to get a waiver from the state to be exempt from the 180 days, but for the moment I just want to know how the kids who need the meals are going to get them.
Think I'll stock up on canned foods, water and some medicines for my parents today, them being in their 70s and retired they need to stay home but they love going out.
Pretty sure this will happen to all of us traveling this year? I don't think this will be over in like 4 weeks.
I can't confirm this, but there are rumblings on campus and online that we have at least one case
I work my ass off. I'd rather die than be stuck at home on vacation. I expect in two months I'll have already had the virus and either recovered or died anyway.
That's what I heard. Someone with connections to the UF medical field told me. Hoping that's not the case.
