1 in 5 infected needs medical assistance.

Just a thought, could it be that the responsibility here lies with the media being absolutely awful? If you were to compare the UK's press conferences with the US ones you'd see for instance in the UK journalists mostly trying to figure out the details and maybe find the holes in policy, where in the US the goal is more to sensationalize and accuse Trump of racism or carry out some kind of sting/gotcha. This follows years of shrill wailing and screaming about every little thing that maybe has led the public to stop trusting them. Just a thought but I'd be curious to see if you can see any merit in that.

I went to order some random food on amazon, none of the “typical” hoarded items that people usually go for during crises. And so much shit was out of stock. Don’t fucking tell me all of it is because of the coronavirus. I just wanted to order some fucking pretzels and some chocolates.

To prevent the health care system capacity from getting overwhelmed at any one point. I guess their thinking is that one super-long shutdown is not economically and socially feasible.

I get why. They can’t just lock everyone up for six months. So I think the idea is. They can’t stop people getting the virus. But they can hopefully control the spread and give themselves a fighting chance. If everyone got it at once then fatalities would be insane. But if they try to make so they can treat those that need it and slow the incoming critically ill it won’t overload the hospitals. Plus hopefully with it getting warmer etc. The virus may die out. Anyone infected who got over it should isolate. Then hopefully some people are immune and can then go back to work etc.
what’s difficult is no plan they will suggest won’t have an element of playing with human life. Unless a vaccine is found right now that is safe.

Quake, DOOM and others could easily be played via dial-up, the amount of data you send and receive while gaming is negligible.

I've been downloading some stuff on Steam overnight (eg off-peak hours) and using the backup facility to put it on a big fat drive I ordered from Amazon so I can easily switch games if the internet gets slowed down at all later. That's prepping.

Physical copies of games don't help when you have to download 100GB patches (yes Modern Warfare I'm looking at you)
mcz117chief

Yeah, and then you need to download a 100gb patch every once in a while too. I spent more time downloading patches for that game than actually playing it. It is completely ridiculous how you need to have around 250gb of free space to download a patch for that game. I remember once it asked me to download a new seasonal update, which was around 100 gigs, and it said I didn't have enough room to perform the update despite having about 190 gigs free. Absolutely ridiculous. I had to remove a ton of games just to play MW. I couldn't take that insanity anymore so I deleted it a few months back.
Well this didn't age well.
Even though they are partially responsible for thousands of deaths in Italy, it was totally worth it to stick it up to that Orange Man!

That’ll be because they download it in compressed form and extract it meaning you need at least double the size of the file. Of course if they split it into batches the compression wouldn’t be quite as good but it’d help a fucktonne (get 1, extract, delete, next).

That movement was right, and it happend because people started insulting and spitting at random Chinese people in the streets, even though they never been to China in fucking years and they had nothing to do with all of this. (we have some big chinese communities in 2/3 cities) They avoided even chinese restaraunts. It would be the same thing if you were to treat like shit the italians who live abroad but never have been back home during the virus, only because of their nationality. (and I hear this is happening in Germany)
It wasn't to be cucks to evil China, or to stick it up to Trump(what does that have anything to do with this?), it was just for human decency.

Hrmmm, I looked at her twitter feed.
She has an angle against the CCP but she seems fairly reasonable and backs up her stuff. She's got some eye opening stuff on her twitter account.

People should stop the false narrative about Italy "hard, because old".
It leads to people below 50 thinking "oh, so it's only dangerous for oldies", which is bulshit, 22% of hard cases in US hospitals are 22-40 y.o.
I don't see the difference in trajectory between Italy vs most countries (note that scale is logarithmic, linear raise means it's expenential):

No, they are not. The same way you are not partially responsible for whatever shit your government does or what your neighbour does. People are only responsible for their own acts as we are individuals. The moment you start talking about "they" versus "us" everything goes to shit.
Unfortunately, rough times bring out the worst of the human side, from hoarding in supermarkets to insulting chinese people or trump supporters whose relation to the problem is zero.
Maybe if we were not that hostile to one another, no nation would make biological weapons in research labs as all the well-known superpowers do.
Let's be better than them.

Sorry you have to deal with a douchebag ideologue. I've got one I work with who argues that "The real danger of this thing is the President calling it a Chinese virus! Racism is not ok!"
Yet...thousands of deaths = ok? Truly staggering logic.
Ideologues gonna ideologue.
Tries to save people, gets censured and (probably) killed by the State. Sounds about right for China.

I still think that the high smoking rates in Europe (Especially Italy and France) are the biggest reason for the high death toll.
There was a video going round of a young UK woman in critical condition telling people to stop smoking, I assume because she was also a heavy smoker.

You know that heavy smoking reduces your lung capacity, right? Cancer is just the end game.
My smoker friends can't even walk up stairs without getting out of breath.......... How do you think these people will cope with pneumonia? (They won't).

There was a backlog of test that is being worked through now that capacity was increased 10x. They specifically said to expect a sharp spike and a sharp levelling off 3 days ago at the press conference

It seems the NHS is already having to use palliative care for patients with serious cases.
Having to leave them to die on a general ward instead of even trying to save them in intensive care. Cases are going to explode big-time in the next week.

It might come as surprise but you'd be utterly astounded about just how bad some peoples personal hygiene is. It's a mistake to assume everyone had good role models in their life to teach them basic principles.
