Lol, the Ministry of Health in Brasil said that the "quarantines started too early."
They're planning on reopening the churches as soon as possible too.
Fucking disgusting spineless hacks.

I've struggled with anxiety for years, and now I personally feel okay in myself, but everytime my brother lets out a cough to clear his throat I get into a mental panic for his sake. I constantly fear the worst with my family and there's nothing I can do about it, they're smart and sensible enough but I want to just grab them, lock them in a nice house and keep them there until I know it's safe for them.
God fucking dammit Brix, the reason Wuhan/Hubei only had an infection rate of whatever-low-% is because they completely locked the fuck down like a prison.
Yeah it kind of sucks. I've been dealing with it for years. A couple years back I had constant panic attacks 24/7 for a whole week. Nobody will ever give me medication for it so I just gave up and try to control it with breathing excercises. I have a long beard and dreadlocks down to my waist and every doctor I see about it assumes I'm a drug seeker and brushes me off

It will be very soon.
The contagion curve is crazy.
But I mean...that much was obvious after Trump's indecision 2/3 weeks ago, when there were only "600 reported cases".
That figure was downplayed and it wasn't a huge number per se, but anyone who took a look at the map realised the disaster that was coming; it wasn't 600 cases in the same city which could have been kept under control. Not even in the same state. It was 600 cases uniformly distributed across the entire US. Not a big red circle, but dozens, hundreds of red dots spread across the map.
Anyone could have guessed what was going to happen.
At this stage I can see Trump getting frustrated at not being able to control it and just say fuck it, we're opening everything.

Trump is really going to make all these governors kiss the ring in their daily press conferences in order to get supplies. And all he wants are sound bytes he can piece together of Dems praising him for election commercials.
and that rate is likely not true at all considering they had crematoriums running 24/7 at some point. no one knows what the rate is for wuhan in reality. certainly not what is officially stated but no one can tell.
"Everything is fine now. See I'm outside and golfing! See no flu, all a hoax. Giant, big and very big hoax"
Based on some testing (in Iceland and in one Italian village where they tested absolutely everyone regardless of symptoms) it seems so far that more than 50% of the infected are completely asymptomatic. Which is good news because the true mortality will be lower than they thought, probably, but it's bad news because even the asymptomatic people are contagious.
oof...
germany is also playing with the idea to ease up everything after easter, younger people will be allowed to go out then while older folks or people at risk will have to care for themselves...because economy.
Abolutely this, it is actually proven that kids (0-9) are more likely to not show any symptoms at all but still be contagious.
him holding up the sign and saying "15 days to stop the spread" is so cringe. PUT THAT FUCKING SIGN DOWN! lol we are "10" days into 15 days SMH
I'm high risk as I work in a bank so lord knows I actually have this shit. Already one confirmed in my company today
I met with my doc on the 12th for my yearly physical. I brought up coronavirus and my concern about high BP and shit. He basically spouted off some nonsense about how I shouldn't be worried at my age (40) and that I've probably already had it. LOLWUT?
yeah no, it might be time for a new doctor.
If we could push for mass serological testing, it'd be a game-changer. We would find out that the true number of infected people is insanely higher than previously thought, and we could slowly let people who got the virus and recovered from it back to work without compromising the broader public health.
It's a cloth mask. You wash it.I don't have an N95 mask. I've got one of these:
If I put this in the oven, won't it catch on fire? LOL

China has been investing in businesses, buying them out and gaining influence over smaller European countries for a while now. But Italy is a big one. This is worrying.article about italy/china connections. interesting to say at least.

Didn't know where to ask this, but how do you ignore certain topics? Can you ignore by words in titles? I can't find the option.
I never knew so many people on my street have dogs, and I said hello to several of my neighbors (everyone was the required distance)
I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but in my country, oh I fuckin guarantee once the weather warms up people are gonna be out and about. Yesterday was already about 5ish Celsius warmer than the day before and I counted 30 people where I'd normally count 4-5.
Good, I never understood why the media gave him a platform, well I mean I know why...but still
quite a few

Because there is no set rule that X amount of patients with covid die per day.
Got tested on Saturday and the hospital calls me today to tell me that my results are still pending. I can't say I'm too thrilled about that.
is there some obvious reason why italy and spain are getting wrecked so much worse than most places? i read it was because of the aging population, but surely they're not that much older?
Which Country Has the Oldest Population? It Depends on How You Define ‘Old.’
(2019) Japan, Italy, and Germany top the list of the world’s oldest countries—if the data are based on the share of the population ages 65 and older.

New infections aren't distributed evenly neither geographically nor temporally.
Some of the people initially infected might have only spread it one or two people at a certain date, whereas a superspreader might have infected hundreds of people that were all congregated together on a different date.
If they don't, then they're going to crash it for the places still trying to take it serious.
I fully expect it to be out of control in Colorado Springs and Greeley by the end of the month and people traveling into metro Denver to cause it to spiral out of control despite most of the metro locking shit down this week.

couple that with a healthcare system which is not prepared for such an influx of patients and it is the recipe for disaster
You're looking at the Worldometers numbers I assume?
Normally speaking Cuomo gives the new numbers every day around 1pm, which are then branded as that day's numbers even though it includes deaths from the previous day after 1pm and doesn't include numbers from the current day passed 1pm (so for example today's numbers were really the numbers for March 24th 1pm until March 25th 12.59pm). However, yesterday a website (NBC New York I believe it was) released a 2nd update at like 6pm which included dozens of new deaths which weren't yet included in Cuomo's presser 5 hours before it, but those weren't included in the official statistics until today.
Numbers released during Cuomo pressers were 75 deaths today, 53 yesterday and 43 on the 23rd.
Ah that explains it. Yeah I was looking at Worldometers. Thanks.
Older population, polluted area, smokers. Another reason can be antibiotic resistant bacterias in Italy. The pneumnia and complications are often caused by bacterias (that the body normally could reject) after the virus has weakened the body. They use too much antibiotics in Italy, both to treat patients and in meat production.
