They should probably install charcoal or some sort of post-anus filter for anyone carrying the disease

UnknownTarget posted:Ironic take; given the relatively low lethality of this virus (compared to SARs) and the fact that a lot of people who get it don't even exhibit symptoms, the Trump administration's "ignore it and it won't be a problem" attitude might actually be correct. Yeah, with a mortality rate of 1-3% it'll only kill between 3,000,000 and 6,000,000 Americans. Trump's totally correct. You nailed it.

It's not going to infect 100% of Americans, even if it's uncontrolled. But a 10% to a 33% infection rate in a year is totally realistic for an uncontrolled infection. So it can kill somewhere between 300 thousand* to 2 million** Americans a year. *Worse than anything besides heart disease and all cancers combined, but not as bad as all cancers combined. **Worse than all top 10 causes of American death combined, but still not enough to trigger any Mad Max or Zombie Apocalypse fantasies. golden bubble fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Mar 3, 2020 |

It will not infect 100% of the people, so the number can be more like 200.000 in like 3 years Anyway the objetive must be to stop this now, we don't want this to be a thing that kill old people every winter from now on.

Tei posted:a thing that kill old people every winter from now on. The idea that this is seasonal is essentially wishful thinking based on nothing right now. This is a brand new disease and it's already spreading in places with reasonably warm weather. Southern China, for example, isn't exactly cold. We certainly hope it will be seasonal.

golden bubble posted:**Worse than all top 10 causes of American death combined, but still not enough to trigger any Mad Max or Zombie Apocalypse fantasies. I know this isn't what you're saying, but I am disturbed by the black and white thinking I keep seeing on this, where people are like "whelp, it's not gonna be like the walking dead, the government won't entirely collapse, so I don't need to prepare in any way." There's a whollllllle lotta real estate between "everything is totally normal" and "we all gonna die" that would drastically change how life looked in this country for an extended period of time. For example, one thing that pops to mind is that many of the jobs that were added to the econonmy in the wake of 2008 are gig economy typse of jobs, which are generally jobs that involve interacting with a ton of people. Not only would I not want to be, say, and uber driver with a pandemic going on, I also don't want to be a passenger with random drivers I don't know. I would assume that segment of jobs would see a huge decline. Then the question become, what do those people do for money in an economy where people in urban areas basically don't want to leave their houses. It does make me glad that I could in theory do my job remotely. If it comes down to it, I'm grabbing my laptop and heading for the mountains for awhile. I highly doubt it'll come to that, but I'm gonna be drat sure I'm prepared to if need be.

The US doesn’t seem to fussed about people getting adequate healthcare for regular life threatening ailments, I’m not sure why they’d be suddenly concerned about people getting turned away just because it’s some fancy new disease

My sister is a nurse in Washington, I jokingly asked her if she's a virus zombie yet and her reply was "Haha not a zombie yet but there is a case at our hospital" Combined with having a wife with a weakened immune system and I don't think I'll be sleeping soundly for quite a while.

A friend's company has banned all corporate international travel and asked that if you travel personally you self quarantine for two weeks after returning. My company has asked that we all wash our hands and pay attention to CDC advisories. My company is clown shoes, generally, though. So not unexpected.
