SPAIN update
Rudy Gobert traveled with, shared a locker room with, towels, showers, etc with an entire team of people and only one of them tested positive. Now I don't know if the others were false negatives or if they got lucky.
But the spread of it in Italy is just insane. I wonder what the majority of the spreading is coming from? What do you guys think? Person to person contamination? 2nd hand... like touching surfaces, putting hands in your mouth, etc?
2,000 a day is just nuts.
With today's video from Dr. Campbell and some other articles, I think I've finally wrapped my head around the actual end goal of social isolation policies.
As I assumed, the goal was never to "eliminate" the virus or "starve it out" as some have said. That's simply not going to happen and this Coronavirus is probably going to be with us next year and beyond. The goal is all about reducing fatality numbers by slowing the rate of spread to reduce stress on the medical system. Still, there's no doubt that most of us are going to need to catch this disease at some point. It would just be a lot better if we caught it later in Summer since there would be fewer hospitalizations from other illnesses (flu, etc.) during that time and if we manage to spread it out, we should be able to effectively treat people who need critical care.
Makes sense to me. I was just confused yesterday, because it sounded like the proposals were focused on a few weeks of social isolation and then we could go back to business as usual. That's clearly not the case and we're going to need to keep this up through summer at least until a critical mass of people have become infected and recovered so that we can develop herd immunity.

Aren’t most meals “family style” in Italy? Like Buca Di Beppo?Rudy Gobert traveled with, shared a locker room with, towels, showers, etc with an entire team of people and only one of them tested positive. Now I don't know if the others were false negatives or if they got lucky.

China's numbers are such a lie. There's multiple reports going against the official count, suggesting >1.5 mil cases and >50k deaths. That would be much more in line with population numbers and the measures they were taking after trying to hide information. Especially since there's also reporting saying this probably started as early as back in November.

Italy
Wow. Cases slightly down, but deaths way up.
7.2% CFR right now
European people are a lot more touchy feely in their greetings so that could play a big role in it, I hypothesizeRudy Gobert traveled with, shared a locker room with, towels, showers, etc with an entire team of people and only one of them tested positive.

Also, if they were openly communicating from the start the rest of the world could have prepared more appropriately.
You really believe China has only 3k deaths when Italy (who actually has a section of Chinese citizens btw which likely exacerbated the problem there) has almost half that already? I believe they've done a lot to quell the spread, but there's no way that their numbers are accurate.If China is lying, then please answer me the following questions.
Why don't the many WHO staff on the ground in China say otherwise?
Why is even Wuhan slowly beginning to return to normality?
Why are almost 100% of the cargo ships heading for Europe again?
Why are the production sites of foreign companies all running at 80 to 100% capacity again?
And perhaps the most important question: Why are there no videos, Twitter posts, Instagram or Facebook posts about the "true" state of China? It's not as if no one there can communicate with the world.
Im not the one for conspiracy theories, but China is not to be trusted. They will do what it takes to silence people. I don't doubt that the situation is more manageable now but I believe they are hiding true numbers to say face with their people.You really believe China has only 3k deaths when Italy (who actually has a section of Chinese citizens btw which likely exacerbated the problem there) has almost half that already?

keep them fingers crossed
What the fuck.
How can it have been already in development before the outbreak? If this is true then something fishy is going on.

COVID-19 is a coronavirus.What the fuck.

COVID-19 is a coronavirus.
I guess so?Ah, so this would be a broad-spectrum coronavirus vaccine, not one specific for COVID-19?
Its completely possible but the tweet dose still say it will take more time with authentication and going through all of the red tape.What the fuck.
