I fully agree in some regards. It is not as bad as people make it but we should still take it serious as it has a massive infection rate.Talk about annoying.
I couldn't give two shits about this silly virus. Just another type of flu in my book. Killing far less people.
I was hoping to take advantage of all the lemmings panicking about it to use the cheap airfares to travel. But then they started all this self isolation and travel ban bullshit.
I tempted to say after this whole thing that the media doesn't deserve freedom of the press anymore. All they've done is inflated something way out of proportion, spread panic, caused needless damage to economies and people's livlihood without a single redeeming feature of their coverage.
I have been laughing at the memes online though.
So..if I go ahead and show you those that have been infected with the Virus and have gone to get treatment and are not hospitalized? Are not dying? Huh? What? Imposisble!!!
Exactly
I would recommend using John Hopkins. It is what the US Army here is using to watch the virus and is honestly a better source.
I say take it somewhat serious but not as serious as some people are
That would honestly work better.Heres a wacky thought, what if we just isolated the people who are actually at serious risk from the new virus? (unlike the vast majority of us who aren't)
So we can just quarantine all the old, infants and already immuno suppressed people. It would be less of a hit to the economy, the vast majority of us could just get on with life and we'd have less annoyingly slow drivers on the roads and whiners in retail queues. Its a win/win situation.
South Africa's coronavirus cases rise to 38, Health Ministry says
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in South Africa rose to 38 on Saturday from 24 a day earlier, the Health Ministry said, as the government weighs new measures to contain the outbreak.
@Scottty how's it going over there?
What are you talking about? He was just another unfortunate victim of the american pigdog Trump virus. Glorious China Communist Party is already working hard to fight this attack on our revolution, and confirmed deaths are steadily dropping every day as more and better data is collected. I would not be surprised if it soon turned out no one actually died but simply fell asleep, and all will soon wake up and go back home 120% healthier.
Use only data outside of China and Iran (they seem to be outliers), and then deaths/(confirmed recoveries + deaths) to get an upper limit, because most Coronavirus cases will be unconfirmed, or use deaths/(estimated recoveries + deaths) to get an estimate. As someone said, it currently isn't accurate because there are too few cases. We can't use current cases in the numerator or denominator because we don't know what will happen, and we need to make sure that deaths are in both.
And when it actually reaches anywhere near the destructiveness (as in actual fatalities) of a bad flu season... you let me know, okay?
If the power goes down, the problem becomes exponentially worse, so I assume maintaining it and other essential infrastructure like water is among the government's highest priorities. There are probably many things that could be done to minimize the danger to employees, and worst comes to worst, they'd likely resort to offering hazard pay; assuming they can't just get those who are unfazed by the virus, like Es Arcanum is, to come into work regardless. I mean, people will do this for a living:
Work at powerplants and elektrodistribution networks goes on as normal.
She could accidentally into e.coli challenge instead. And then she will regret not stocking up on toilet paper.TikTok user kicks off stomach-churning ‘coronavirus challenge’ by LICKING toilet seat on plane in new low for Covid-19 hype
As the world self-isolates and engages in social distancing, social media influencers are more desperate for attention than ever before, including one woman who licked a toilet seat in what she called the “coronavirus challenge.”www.rt.com
Yuck.
