It's a US centric site and the US has a problem of under insured or uninsured people where the bill for corona virus treatment is over 3000 dollars. The President assembled a team where the lead wiped his nose before shaking the hands of leading physicians to treat and study the virus who also happened to attempt to pray it all away during his tenure as governor amidst an HIV outbreak. The CDC released a man with corona virus in Texas into the public. Trump repatriated people under quarantine against the CDC's wishes.

I'm not sure what you're expecting nor why discussing American politics in relation to the virus should surprise you.

So California has something like 200 coronavirus test kits for a population of almost 40 million. Apparently this is because test kit production is hampered by issues in the QC method and so FDA/CDC had to go back-and-forth figuring out how to solve it.

We are woefully unprepared for a fucking bat poop virus.

Yeah, that’s fucking bad.

For you single folks out there, how do you feel about dating now? I’m worried about adding a person to my life that I’ll be making close contact with and who is in completely different social/school/work circles and who knows where they go and what precautions they take to try to minimize getting this.

On the other hand if I just give up dating completely until this dies down it could be a year or something.

For someone like you, how bad is the flu? Could that kill you?

Yeah, as I just found out last month going through H1N1 flu. Definitely not ready to get that sick again so soon after. My lungs still haven't recovered, I'm good but when I exercise I'm getting winded a lot quicker than before I got that flu, so feels like when you haven't run for a long time and have to build your lungs back up again. Or they're still healing idk. But yeah would be a very bad time to get this.

And the problem is less banging different people every week, and more just going on dates with tons of different people. Not sure what I'll do.

I'm holing myself up in home and not meeting people cos I live with my parents and don't want them to get infected, but most people here are still living their lives albeit being a bit more careful in regards to hygiene. As long as you're cautious about it, I don't think you necessarily have to stop dating completely.

I don't care about dating. I care about family. I want to see my grandma and I see her regularly but how do I know if I'm infected or not if I display no symptoms? I don't want to give her this unknowingly. She's over 80 years old. She could very well die. So I'm not visiting her despite wanting to see her.

Did my regular grocery shopping tonight. Either the supply chain has already been severely affected, or people are really starting to panic buy stuff. Apparently toilet paper is already scarce.

I grabbed a couple of extra tins of tuna and beans and an extra bag of frozen vegetables. Will grab another couple extra things next time, but I don't see the need to grab 20kg bags of rice and shit that I don't normally eat. That's just a good way to end up with stuff that you will never eat.

In the long run, the likelihood of contracting it is probably 1. The virus will most likely sweep the globe long before a vaccine is ready, which will take several more months. Some carriers have been unknowingly walking around with it for weeks, infecting many more (because for some there are no symptoms and for those who experience symptoms, the disease becomes infectious before they do).

China fucked it up when they kept quiet about it in December and instead punished the messenger.

Probability is a numerical description of how likely an event is to occur or how likely it is that a proposition is true. Probability is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.

Yeah I can't find my favorite toilet paper at all anymore

There are other brands still that look like they won't be sold out too soon but I hate having to now guess which tp will be acceptable for my very demanding butt

Also the soap I usually buy in refill bags was also sold out, among some other brands. I stocked up on coffee and some meat to put in the freezer but now I'm thinking other people will start mass buying even more stuff so the shelves will be emptier every time I go to the shop so I better go again tomorrow and contribute to the problem

There haven't been any cases in my city yet but I guess it's just a matter of time. Then the shops will really start getting empty.

Seems like a dubious statistic when there are an untold amount of people that carry it without ever showing symptoms. I'm sure they have a statistical model that is based around those people, but there is no way they have actual empirical data on what that number should/could be.
