If someone is claiming that the victims are lying, they're not to be trusted. End of story.

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.
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?

“Where we are right now feels a lot too close to Marshall Law for my comfort already, all in the name of a respiratory flu,” she wrote in response to a comment.
What is Nate Silver going to do exactly? Run some more poor stats?
Brehs, what is wrong with Americans? I been following coronavirus since December-January and been prepared, had some money saved up just in case. My mom is telling me she's just now going to the store to get food stocked. Why did it take Americans months to prepare for this? What is wrong with this country and its citizenry?

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.
Quote from: Leadbelly on March 19, 2020, 02:56:39 PMSo 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. lolI 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.

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.

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.

We'll see what they do, but I would be surprised if I didn't see any kids hanging out.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.

So people thought this one would be like H1N1, Ebola, sars, etc

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?’”
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.
Brehs, basing this on tax is a bad idea. I didn't make much in 2018. I'm worried.

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.
Norwegian Cruise Line is facing troubles with two ships. 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.
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"
