My opinion is that doesn't not make up for lack of due diligence on the front end of things.

The Chinese government has been sending personnel and equipment to a lot of the worst hit areas in Italy. Part of it is propaganda, but this is the type of gesture that will be remembered by European countries in years to come, especially as the US decides to bunker down and not cooperate.
700+ cases in Chile, one new death that was confirmed after the official number was "updated" in a pandemonium of a local authority and the central government.
Curfew was set yesterday from 22 PM to 5AM, some journalists claimed that the decision was because wealthy fucks going out to party in the middle of the pandemic.
However, due to delays in transportation, subway and buses were flooded with workers.
This country is going to a hole thanks to incompetence.

The official stance is basically "hey now slow down let's wait and see, maybe it won't be as bad as every expert in the entire world says it is"
Feel totally fine, but my stomach is upset this morning. Real pain in the ass how general symptoms of this thing are. Every little common symptom immediately makes me think I have this and will die.
At least the weather went back to shit so I don't feel so bad about staying inside all day now
It doesn't matter what your opinion is. When we have daily news of new aid from china arriving while all we get from the US is border closures or insults from agent orange it matters more than some random argument if they could do more or not. There virus is here, we cannot change the past but i will take every aid i can get to get through the present.

Who said it did? They just said the massive amount of supplies China is sending is helpful. That is a fact.
My workplace in Michigan is actually trying to pull a GameStop, holy shit. Fuck all of these penny pinching idiots for putting everyone at risk.
Just remember -- one symptom generally means nothing. Could be anything. Keep tabs on the symptom requirements and you'll be ok.
Welp we just got news about the shutdown that's happening tomorrow and I guess everyone else saw it because it's crazy. Not much though, there's limits on eggs, meat, paper and water. Hopefully it doesn't get crazy here.
C'mon, I just had someone earlier telling me this wasn't happening actually and it was fake news lol
If it is like Illinois, almost everything is open except clothing stores.
Of course they're less valid, that's a direct result of the methodology. Non ill people come on, ill people are not being tested. Also the capacity problems are being called into question by numerous microbiologists and professors of epidemiology, did you read the articles?
My problem is this, let's say containment is not possible, there are still many, probably tens (hundred?) of thousands of people at home with a cough and possibly a fever. I'm one of them. They could be tested, the capacity is there to upscale, but they're not, so they have no clue as to the severity of the situation, and most likely will go outside and certainly their family members as long as they're not certain. At the same time as a result of the severe under testing we get told that "only 4000" people have Corona, which is an astronomically small chance to get infected if you go outside. More accurate numbers will get people off the streets as well.
This is a choice based on money and because the RIVM is extremely sure they know better than the WHO. They have a reason to be arrogant of course, but still. Even the UK upscaled their testing immensely. But the country with the highest percentage of microbiologists keeps sitting on its hands.
Just found out officially that my company is essential because of defense contracts, and the email we got from our CEO implies that all manufactures are. Don't now how accurate that is.
Atlanta Mayor holds off on stay-at-home order, per governor's request
Stay-at-home orders typically have had a number of exceptions, including visits to grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, liquor stores
April 1st looks promising.At least the weather went back to shit so I don't feel so bad about staying inside all day now
Just a reminder people like this exist and are probably in positions of power (this guy thankfully is just some random CA Attorney)

My first time watching Cuomo and its amazi
Herd immunity without a vaccine is basically saying you are willing to let a certain number of people die to get to it. But it seems like at least the Netherlands are doing some measures to reduce the numbers of infected. If you try the speed run option of herd immunity you end up with many dead because your healthcare system is not able to provide the level of care needed.

I hope so cause that is the day I'm supposed to move into a new apartment
I'd feel alot more comfortable if Newsom (California Governor) was doing daily briefings like Cuomo
China has no fault in this.
They informed the world in early January.
That was before the virus left China.
The problems Europe and the US and other parts of the world are facing now have nothing to do with Chinas actions and everything to do with a lack of preparation and other kinds of mistakes on their part.
Obviously China was secretive about the outbreak in their country as long as the thought they could contain it somewhat.
As soon as they realized that containment won't work anymore they informed the world.
That's not ideal but the warning came early enough.
The world had months to prepare, but didn't.
We had months to ramp up supply chains, increase hospital capacities, educate the populations about measures and eventual shutdowns, organize international containment and tracking efforts and most importantly implement a robust testing infrastructure.
Countless countries failed at these tasks because they didn't take the issue seriously. The consequence will be countless deaths and much more economic damage than necessary.
As I understand herd immunity is good, when you have a vaccine. As the video says we don't know many things about the virus yet to know how much percent of population is needed or how much lasts the inmune period to be actually effective.
Is just a way to keep a country's economy running at the expense of thousands and thousands of people dying. I'm glad my country did the lockdown to protect as many ppl lives as possible even if our economy takes a huge hit.
Herd immunity is fine. But herd immunity as your plan to deal with a pandemic is the dumbest strategy. In fact, it's so dumb that it probably shouldn't even be considered a strategy.

The disease is spreading, the surgeon general said, because many people are not following the guidance to stay at home.

Oh wow, I have family there. I'll rally this info to them. Btw, do you have a solid network of people in your city? My apartment neighbors and I have set up a "bounty" that we communicate via group chat to reduce bouncing from store to store (thus reducing our odds of contact). Example being "couldn't find flour at (store) ... bounty for anybody who grabs some on their next grocery run".
Again, what do you expect the US to do when they are struggling just as much as Europe?

This seem to be more and more popular view in Wall Street, and Wall Street got the ear of a large chunk of our political system.
I dont unfortunately. Ive been looking at the austin subreddit as they keep a good track of what groceries stores are looking like. They mostly report that TP is gone within the first few hours of store opening.
The other issue is that THIS IS NOT HERD IMMUNITY IT'S JUST IMMUNITY.....
Herd immunity is when enough people in the population are immune to confer immunity to those who are not immune, i.e. babies, elderly, immunocompromised. HIT (Herd immunity threshold) also varies based on the R0 of a disease. In this pandemic strategy, immunity and herd immunity is being interchanged. They're just saying let's get enough people sick that they can recover and return to work. They're not thinking about herd immunity. They just want people to have adaptive immunity.
Man how is it not slowing down at all? Hasn't Spain been quarantined for a while now?
My daughter is doing a circle time with her pre-school teacher using zoom. What a world we are living in.
Here in Colombia we are at 200+ cases and we are already on total lockdown.
WTH chile?
Since it seems that now in Italy companies can stay open until Wednesday to organize WFH and to close any ongoing matter, our company will do exactly that, working until the last possible second. I can't even blame the boss for this decision, it's anybody's call when we're gonna open up again. April 6th like intended? Another 2 weeks later? A month later? In June? Seems logical to try and get as much shit done as we can and then just see what happens. Keep in mind we produce stuff so the amount of things we can do from home is negligible.
