Well shit guys, my family may have Corona now, my dad is old and smokes and came into contact with someone who had it 5-6 days ago, no symptoms yet but it’s said to be a 14 day or more period

Didn’t think this would affect me, hope my brother in the hospital is okay, he’s already in a coma and just hanging on, hope to god things get better

We’ll take lots of medicine and hope this dies out for awhile in us

I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm praying for your family.

Mainstream sources have been calculating Case Fatality Rate by dividing the number of confirmed cases by the number of dead. That's wrong. The correct way to do it is to divide the summed number of recovered and dead cases by the number of dead (1872 / 827), after which, we arrive at a case fatality rate, in Italy, of 44.1%.

In other words, oh fuck.

That would require a far greater number of resolved cases, or more accurately elapsed time. If your resperatory system fails completely and you die it happens right away, while people who were infected at the same time might be hospitalized for pneumonia or simply have flu-like symptoms for several more weeks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of the "its just a flu, lol" people, but you do no good by using numbers just as inaccurate as taking deaths over total cases.

Ug... Having to deal with a bunch of friends being forced onto leave and their project possibly being tanked because their boss is an alarmist...

It's going to be hard with people like that contractor being intent to go to work despite being infected.
A recent one from a contractor.
Oh trust me, we all at USAG Humphreys are not happy. SHE WENT TO THE MAIN PX STAR BUCKS!!!! GAHHH! but honestly security has increased all over the base because of it. Hell, we arnt really scared of it. We have been watching it since it left china and made it here to Korea. Trust me when I say, if it was as bad as everyone is making it in the media, then the base would be on lockdown and we would have quarantine tents and decontamination facilities all over.

I am not joking. So can everyone in here please calm the fuck down. Now you random
That is actually 100% correct. The reason why it's so high is because we're seeing that initial wave of elderly who die off quickly without lingering on for an extended period. We need a larger sample size, and we need to see what it does to younger people. When the numbers in Wuhan were similar, I calculated a 50 to 60% CFR, and that was simply because the first few dozen died quickly because they were elderly or had pre-existing conditions.

Oh, check this out. In Italy:



It's totally normal for them to be driving Centauros through the city during a little flu. It's nothing. There's nothing wrong here at all. o_O

When the military is installing a quarantine yes.
It can happen in the states if the governor decides to mobilize to set up a quarantine with CDC help to support them.

Calm down dude.

So how wise is it to acquire a stockpile of essential stuff like food, toilet paper, hygiene products for an extended period of a few weeks in case shit hits the fans and stores are closed?

I'm quite calm but expect more infections to happen.

Was your unit going to do those coop exercises with foreign troops?

I heard all those wargames are now cancelled.

Meanwhile, in the rapidly unraveling state of Iran, something Ironic.


I thought they're only ever supposed to say stuff like that in-regards to the West

Because guys like the Chinese would actually fuck them over with military and economic power and not have a populace that will take big issue over it

So the county I live in recently found an infected person and both my workplace and the bus transportation system I use to get around aren't fucking around.

Hand washing and sanitizer has been deployed to combat the menace.

If you ask me we can't really contain a virus this contagious but we can severely slow it down. Hopefully slow it down enough for so our hospital s won't be overwhelmed.
