As coronavirus spreads in Iran, authorities have moved swiftly and aggressively to contain independent reporting about it by harassing, detaining and censoring journalists and social media users.

Tehran has questioned or detained journalists who contradicted or questioned official reports, warned that those publishing statistics other than government figures would be arrested, and issued censorship orders to news outlets. In at least one case, a journalist was forced to retract comments made on social media.

Quote

Tehran’s attorney general, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, warned of severe consequences for those publishing statistics from nonofficial sources

Good to know somebody is cracking down on the irresponsible media at this time. If only we had this kind of leadership.

First person I know in real life announced she got it. Someone who used to hang out with my group of friends back in the 00's, but then she got into a long-term relationship and nearly dropped off the face of the earth.

"But if a celebrity is saying, 'Hey, listen. I don't have no symptoms. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling healthy. I don't feel like nothing, but I went and got tested and I'm positive for the coronavirus,' that cause confusion," she said in the expletive-laden video, during which she wears a mask. The video has been viewed more than 15 million times.

Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, said "the general public, people that work regular jobs, people that get regular paychecks, the middle class, the poor ... they're not getting treated like celebrities."

She said it can take days for everyday people to receive their test results — if they are tested at all — which has not been the case for a number of celebrities, politicians and professional athletes.

"The coronavirus is very much real," she said.

It doesn’t really matter economically that MS is not doing any sheltering. People are too scared to spend anyway.

This graph seems to suggest that Germany is on the same trend than Italy or France for growing fatalities, if you align it to start on when the tenth fatality occured.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/fq0uz3/coronavirus_fatalities_tracker_oc/

Germany is more populous than France, Italy, UK or Spain so it's still better per capita and they started with social distancing a week or more ago so maybe it won't become as bad before they plateau deaths.

It's been speculated that early clusters started with young people coming back from ski vacations and that Germany tested more early, so maybe that's why there's so much lag (relative to other countries) between the confirmed cases and the fatality curves.

No certainties in any of this.

Started early with diagnosis, alot of ICU beds and ventilators, the big peak was in a rather small town with only like 150k people living there and they went onto lockdown pretty fast. Alot of the other cases were people that got back from holidays or work in affected regions. Was already mentioned, but the ski holiday people really fucked everything up. Think they made the the majority of cases in Norway and they helped to spread it in Germany quite heavy.
Another case of horrible imports from Austria.

Anyway, the biggest factor is certainly the age. The big share of people that got it are people under 60.

Wife's job closed for less than a week and they're back open for business as usual on Monday. I asked her if she wanted to try going in (her work area only has 5-6 people and they sit about 6 feet apart already), but she told me that her boss texted her that he didn't think it was at all safe for people to go back and that it's the head office telling people to come in. $:-\$ So she's staying home and only has about another week left of PTO/sick leave...after that, no pay, but better she stay in than risk that shit. Hearing that ATL is likely to get worse and peak in the next 2-3 weeks.

Italian numbers seem to have stabilized, but I imagine one or two weeks more of lockdown will be necessary to see new confirmed cases decrease and more recoveries happening, lifting some stress on the healthcare system. It's pretty certain it will be extended imminently beyond the April 3 original date.

France already extended to at least April 15th.
Spain is apparently closing all non essential workplaces.

Expect governments to opt for face masks mandatory in public and at work, disinfection units and keeping social activities closed and the elderly isolated so the world can 'open' again.

A vaccin or cure could take 18 months or even two years.
