Age breakdown for latest Italy deaths.



So yeah, if you're young and healthy you should mostly be okay.

But a worldwide culling of the aged population? That is what this is looking like right now.

 

[sinnergy]

Most people are in denial until they are personally confronted with it by being close to them. Then they start to panic, because they realize they lost valuable time to prepare. There's no escape from it anymore. You get it, most survive it, 3 % won't. The main issue is that 3 % of 7.5 billion is a crazy high number. And this might come back in Fall.

225 million dead - that's unlike anything we have ever seen.

In our generations yes, but the plaque and the Spanish flu where just as bad or even worse..

Now we think we can conquer it all, but that’s not true.

 

[Jtibh]

is that your commentary or did he actually say that? can’t find an article on it

Over in the US, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of NIAID and the CDC's point man on the outbreak, delivered some appropriately severe comments in a statement to the press delivered early Sunday.

The celebrated epidemiologist warned the public that they should avoid public gatherings because the virus's seemingly rapid spread within communities on the West Coast is "not encouraging."

• FAUCI SAYS SCOPE OF CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK IN UNITED STATES 'NOT ENCOURAGING' BECAUSE OF SPREAD WITHIN COMMUNITIES
• NIAID HEAD ANTHONY FAUCI SAYS U.S. NEEDS TO LOOK AT CANCELLING EVENTS WITH LARGE GATHERINGS OF PEOPLE IF COMMUNITY SPREAD OF CORONAVIRUS INCREASES.

Will have to find video

Now we think we can conquer it all, but that’s not true.

It's going to be interesting to see what we learn from it. Globalization, open travel, these things could come to an end.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

It is interesting seeing new faces pop in here as things get closer to them personally. I imagine by April most of us will have some near brush with COVID-19.

Hopefully Gaffers stay safe and wash hands.

Half of me wants to stock up on everything and lock my family inside for a couple months.. But the other half hopes this is 'just the flu bro' and will peter out before it gets thsuper thserious here.

Sigh.

 

[Liljagare]

Sweden is expecting cases to flare on tuesday, due to the returning alp vacationists.

203 as of today, no fatalities though.

"Be okay" can still mean mild to severe pneumonia for 2-4 weeks.

Televangelist Jim Bakker Ordered By Attorney General To Stop Selling Fake Cure For Coronavirus

Whatever televangelist Jim Bakker is selling, the New York Attorney General ain't buying. Lisa Landau, Chief of the Health Care Bureau, gave The Jim Bakker Show 10 days to comply with a cease-and-desist letter that tells him to stop touting an alleged cure for the coronavirus. The letter was...

18000 predicted by March 26th.

Since they're at 7500 now, I feel like that number could be even higher unless they have A China-like turnaround this week. Even when China did it, it look a couple weeks to see the fruits of their work.

Now if it just.. Stops. Like China did, well it's not so bad I guess. The problem is what if it doesn't stop. That's a hell of a ramp up. Doubling every 3-4 days?

that store was packed but the toilet paper was only 20% gone, we are not savages over here in my town

sorry it took so long, took me an hour to wash my hands. they still feel grimmy

The couple of stores I've been to yesterday and today in the Seattle area seem to have completely restocked and recovered from the panic buying over the last week.

That's also my plan. I'm not in the danger group, nor is my wife and kid so after people get what they want i will just wait a few days and normal stock will be available

No cruise for you!

Frankly this should have been the guidance after the first round of death ships. Doing it now is almost comical but I know people who were still adament about going on their cruise.

The Cruise Industry might have been lobbying hard not to get such travel warnings against them, these things dock in lots of places $$$$. Remember the one delayed in New Jersey? The False Alarm after that they went back to business as normal.

Twilight Zone, the fucking Twilight Zone

 

[McHuj]

I have a cruise booked for June. If I cancel now, I have to move the money to another cruise within the next 2 years. If they cancel on me, I get my money back. I'm going to wait it out for now and hope they cancel on me.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Italy looks like the best place to watch right now for how this can go in Western Nations.

Not really, no.

Italy has high numbers of old, diseased people who basically can only survive for an unnaturally long time thanks to free universal healthcare. Many of these people live at home, cared for by their children and nephews who often don’t realize the level of hygiene required to take care of a frail elderly person (and nobody likes to be called dirty so they’ll vehemently deny they may have transmitted germs to their old father/granny).

Many others live in residential facilities where there’s so many of them in pitiful health conditions, often demented. Our hospitals are notoriously dirty, our residential facilities often are too.

Our medical system is notorious for an abnormally disproportionate use of antibiotics and steroids.

Italians relish physical contact, handshakes, hugging, kissing. It is not in our culture to wear surgical masks in public unless one has cancer or immunodeficiencies, and employees usually don’t take any precautions from communicable diseases such as the flu because if they fall sick they will get paid anyway.

And yeah, while we’re surely not the dirtiest, most ignorant, most selfish people in the world, we do have a low civic sense so many people simply don’t realize what they do may affect others on a deep level.

 

[Karma Jawa]

The end is near...I’m down to one roll of toilet paper.

Seriously, when did toilet paper become the panic buy of the year? I know people are shitting themselves about this virus but I didn’t think it was literal.

 

[All Hail C-Webb]

I failed in convincing my elderly parents with pre-existing conditions to stay home the next month. They've promised to be careful, stop taking subways and busses, but it's still a risk that will eat away at me.
Rest of my family will be safe, and I'll be staying elsewhere for the next few months, or until aive got the antibodies, to insure that.

I actually went to the other forum, and wow fo they have a lot of selfish shit heads. If it don't directly effect them, they don't give a fuck, but then if you don't care about their tiny issues, or don't call them by their preferred pronoun, you're the POS.
Entitled little bitches, not even giving a fuck about the people who raised them to feel like their insignificant selves are actually worth anything.

Sounds pretty similar to a lot of Americans if I'm being honest (as an American ).

Don't see what the big deal about toilet paper is... as long as you have running water, just hop in the shower.

Is there any word on the allocation of these cases? God I knew they were going to fuck this up. It's loose now. 500 cases means that really there's like 5000 cases at the very least.

Ok lets not go crazy. Not the entire world is going to get this. Even in China where it went crazy it was not 3% of the TOTAL POPULATION that died. China has 80000 cases out of 1.3 billion people and only a 3 thousand of those died. 3000 out of 1.3 billion is not 3%.

I am not a its just the flu bro guy, its serious and one of the bigger impacts will be economic, and then we will see the political fall out of this. But 225 million people aren't going to die. I think 50K might even be a struggle if you look at China.

I'm still struggling to understand the worlds reaction to this, i get that this flu is hugely contagious however just over 4,000 people died in the UK last year from seasonal flu, mainly older persons or persons with other health issues and theirs no panic buying, quarantine etc..

Is the concern here that as its hugely contagious it would put a unprecedented strain on countries health services and render a proportion of the population ill and unable to work for a period of time?

I just cant get my head around the current reaction to this, which makes me think is there something governments are not telling us about this virus?

Apparently the UK currently has more cases than Italy had two weeks ago.

 

[V4skunk]

This would have been over already if they shut shit down when it first broke out.

No flights in and out of China, China keeping their effected areas quarantined and then the rest of the world helping where possible while still being vigilant for potential cases in their own countries.

But no, it was downplayed by the WHO and international governments because it wasn't close enough to home yet and keeping the global economy was seen as more important than the health and wellbeing of the general population.

Now we are in a situation where the long term implications of this will far outstrip what would have been a temporary economic downturn for a few weeks.

I know its easy to say in hindsight but people should have seen this coming. It was only a few weeks ago many on here were saying "it's just a flu" when companies were pulling out of trade shows and exhibitions. You don't see many people still saying that now that it's hitting closer to home and their parents/grandparents might be at risk.

Lots of low iq leftists are still saying corona is only just flu.

Ok look again at the numbers for the flu.

Now imagine the same flu but this time it also has the ability to spread silently via people who don't display any symptoms of being ill plus there being no vaccine or set treatment protocols.
