Oh shit, is that why he murdered his wife?

It's reasonable it could have been a motive for whoever killed his wife, yes. Who wouldn't get homicidal over no golf ?

What are people doing for funerals in this time? I don't know anyone in my personal life that has had to go to one, so I have no idea how they are handling this.

My mom was supposed to go to one earlier this week.

I told her great idea bunch of 60+ year olds together you can plan the next one while you are there. Sure the dead person would prefer no one else to die

She then decided not to go

What I'm wondering, is what happens to everyone pregnant? I have a friend whose supposed to have a kid in a month or two.
Unlike other procedures, you can't really delay when to pop a kid out.

If the hospitals are overloaded, what's going to happen to all the childbirths?
I'd suggest getting a midwife and have a home birth.

More French lockdown news :
A lot of beaches (on the Atlantic coast) have been closed to the public. Too many people chilling out on them.

City police have been extended the right to control people's certificate to circulate outside. In France, most of the policing is done by the National Police and Gendarmerie (which is technically MoD), city cops are auxiliary and secondary with narrow tasks.

The Defender of Rights (an independant position supposed to monitor some abuses) is calling for urgent measures to reduce overcrowding in prisons for the inmates safety. He's calling for resorting to more releases under parole and suspending sentences for people vulnerable to the disease. Outside visits have been suspended some days ago.

Town councils (for mayors reelected directly in the first round of elections) should be postponed.

Daily deaths and new cases are still higher than yesterday.

What is Nate Silver going to do exactly? Run some more poor stats? :lol

You'll never guess.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's not "bad" but not a ton more informed than anything you'll read here or in any similar thread populated by laymen.

The more you learn about testing, the clearer it gets that it varies a ton from country to country and that the positive case numbers, while reflective of a situation and comparable trends, isn't super useful at this point. Especially since testing capacity is still ramping up, especially in the US.

He's for example already trying to say that Washington state seems to be trending more positively and had a better response than NY when we're still very much at the onset of the crisis, barely a few days in as far as statistical data is concerned. I guess we're all looking for any good news or trends ASAP but it's too early to tell.

Same thing than in Europe. Mixed messages from authorities, lack of preparation on the macro level. People being a bit dismissive of the danger (not casting stones, I guess I was). It only gets real when people start to die in great numbers.

I don't understand why people didn't start to take it seriously as soon as China literally locked down a city to stop it and it continued to spread all over the country anyways.

I guess it's a human problem and less than an American one but then I look at how South Korea and Japan responded by literally immediately closing schools down a month ago and here Americans are just now stocking up.

It's baffling to me.

I started to prepare when Japan closed down schools, personally.

So the schools in the UK are being shut down tomorrow. I'm predicting by Monday, as I commute to work, I will see kids in groups hanging out around the town treating it like a holiday. lol

I mean it's hard to explain to kids. In the aggregate it's not great but it's probably better to have small groups of kids than a massive concentrated gathering in a school even if the virus is running.

Yeah, maybe. At the same time it sort of defeats the purpose a little though. We'll see what they do, but I would be surprised if I didn't see any kids hanging out.

Also I'm realising more and more that this is going to change the world in a serious way. I really don't know what the world is going to look like at the end of this. Never have I felt more like I am witnessing a very significant moment in history. Years to come kids will be reading about it in school in history books. I guess how significant this moment is will depend on how well we deal with it. Unfortunately it is usually the worst case scenario that gets remembered most. We don't yet know which it is going to be.

Okay wow, I thought all these lockdown procedures would limit it to like 10% of the population for the rest of the year. I had nothing to base that on other than just feeling that we must be completely containing it with all the restrictions. If 50% are infected in 8 weeks, that would mean hundreds of thousands could be in serious condition and need hospitalization.

1. China cracking down harshly on its citizens usually isn't something to get Americans worried.

2. The president and everyone around him kept telling the population there wasn't a problem, it was over hyped, a hoax made to sound worse to hurt Trump, etc.

Even once it got here and people started dying, it was old people in a nursing home passing the flu around, etc. This is what happens when you have a leader of a nation who constantly lies and is completely untrustworthy and unwilling to tell his population the truth because he thinks it is a reflection on him that a fucking VIRUS is spreading around the world, which is why he makes sure to say it isn't his fault at every briefing. And also because all the people that would have been on top of this 2 months earlier got their budgets cut or departments wiped out 2 years ago because Trump didn't like the idea of paying people waiting around for a virus pandemic when he could fire them and hire them back when the problem came.

The US response to this could've been better but they did close the border with China very early.
I'm seeing reports and hearing from people that they had sudden symptoms(sore throat but no flu etc.) way earlier in like January or December 2019 before COVID-19 was first reported about.
 
Soon the curve either flattens with the measures taken and most people get a mild 3 - 5 day flu-like sickbed or the world will look like this

I've read from numerous medical experts of different nationalities that the aim of current lockdowns is to reduce social interactions by 70-75% to slow the infections. Even if a kid is playing with a group of 15 neighbourhood friends that's already cutting a lot into the potential number of people he might interact with at school.

That's why I'm a bit peeved by the outrageous reactions (media/social media/internet) because there's a photo of 15 people in a park. I understand why you can't let it slip and police / authorities don't want to give an inch, but closing restaurants-bars-most shops-schools-funerals-religious, sporting & cultural events is already a bit of a nuclear bomb.

I haven't kept an accurate count but I can believe the number of people I'm in "proximity" with in a day has been cut by 3, 4 or 5 and that's with me having to go to work and take public transportation.

That's maybe a maximalist, pessimistic projection put there to force the federal hand. It seems impossible to have a real idea how far the virus already is with the amount of testing done at this point.

I understand that it will be very difficult to keep kids from hanging out. What kid wants to be stuck inside. When I was a kid, having to stay indoors was done as punishment when I had done something wrong (lol). So yeah, I get that. And I also acknowledge that in some sense hanging out in groups is better than being exposed to hundreds of kids in school every day. I guess the one thing that will bother me a bit, is where they are hanging out. Around town. An area where many already congregate.

Most things I have read on US supply chain are relatively soothing. TP will be dicey for a few weeks, but there will be a point where people won't buy more than the year's worth of toilet paper they've already hoarded.

Main things that will go away for a while are likely to be specialty imports, fruits, veggies, etc.

Biggest issue just now (aside from obesity) is med supplies, most n95 masks are being held by idiots.

Yeah. I think many people including myself didn't think it would reach them. The other thing, on the surface it sounded less threatening. It only really killed the elderly with underlying conditions. Like the flu then. People didn't grasp exactly how infectious this thing was going to be, or quite what 1-2% would mean in that context. Even though the mortality rate is quite a lot higher than your typical seasonal flu, it still didn't seem that threatening. It's the spread that makes that figure really threatening, and realising there is no vaccine to actually control it. It seems just breathing is enough to infect someone. That said the 1-2% figure may still be a little bit too high anyway.

https://business.financialpost.com/financial-times/do-i-quarantine-in-the-hamptons-the-rich-flee-on-private-jets-seek-expensive-concierge-medical-services

Quote
As coronavirus spreads through New York City, Dr Kruger is in fact doing a roaring trade. “This last month has just been insane,” he said. “I’m getting 75 calls a day, asking: ‘Do I quarantine myself in the Hamptons? Do I stay in the city?’”

Quote
The wealthiest Americans may separate themselves through concierge healthcare services like the one operated by Dr Kruger. They can provide instant access to primary care physicians in luxurious settings and, he claims, a test for coronavirus — although not one using one of the government’s officially-authorised kits. Not unlike private jets, they may also allow the wealthy to bypass crowded emergency rooms and so reduce their risk of infection.

But once they are sick, it is not clear that such services will spare them from the same public health maths to which everyone else is now subject. (The equation might be even worse in a place like Aspen, which is now suffering its own outbreak but has limited healthcare facilities.)

At that point, patients will require hospitalisation in an intensive care unit, and possibly a ventilator to help them breathe. With the rarest of exceptions in America, that is still determined by medical need. “Once you are sick and in the hospital,” said Dr Blumenthal, “whether you have concierge medicine or not is not relevant.” Given the shortages of hospital beds and medical equipment being forecast by authorities, money may not much matter.

“You can’t find . . . ventilators no matter how much you’re willing to pay right now,” said Andrew Cuomo, the New York governor.

Several cruise ships with passengers still stranded at sea

https://thepointsguy.com/news/cruise-ships-stranded-as-ports-close-coronavirus/

Quote
In one of the most extreme cases, British line P&O Cruises on Wednesday announced its 2,388-passenger Arcadia would be forced to travel more than 8,000 miles from its current location near the southern tip of Africa to the U.K. to get passengers off the vessel. South Africa denied the line’s request to let passengers disembark in Cape Town.

The voyage will take more than three weeks.

In addition to Norwegian Jewel, the line’s 1,996-passenger Norwegian Spirit is still at sea after being turned away from several ports in the Indian Ocean. It recently had been heading to Cape Town, South Africa. But, as P&O Cruises discovered this week, South Africa no longer is accepting cruise vessels.

The COO of one of our big supermarket chains said that their sales for the last three weeks have been the equivalent of the week leading into Christmas. There is plenty of stock, but it is a distribution problem and a shelf stocking problem.

STOP. FUCKING. PANIC. BUYING. YOU. DUMB. CUNTS.

if you go into hyperinflation because your country is printing a trillion dollars a month over 18 months just for the public to survive and a loaf of bread costs $100, you'll be glad you panic bought and froze a bunch of food now

Starting to hear more and more from people wondering if this is it, the societal collapse and end of the world and we're all just meme-ing it and messaging each other kinda hoping it'll be ok.
I dunno, I mean it's easy to blow off that kinda end of society/world talk, but as things go it's sorta like "but what if this is it"

WW2 has to have been worse than this.

Nah. Spanish flu infected 25% of the world population and killed as many as 100 million people, but the world eventually moved on. As bad as this is, and could be, medical technology, hygiene, and knowledge of how viruses spread of far beyond what was available in 1918.

Or, if you wanna go back even further, the Black Death is estimated to have killed more than 20% of the people in the world at the time.
