I suppose back in those days they didn't have tests so they'd be mixing flu/spanish flu/common cold together so everyone catches em all, which is bad. But if you have 100 patients with (the same strain of) Corona, would putting them all together and only protecting the doctors be bad? Maybe also all kinds of diseases hopping around patients? Would that be worse than letting the critical patients stay home though? That also seems like a death sentence.

Something like this hasn't happened (outside of Asia, which has learned much more from SARS/Ebola than us) in 100 years. I have great confidence that 1 patient in the Netherlands can receive excellent care. But when numbers rise, we run out of everything quite quickly. Edit: Well, the Netherlands isn't exactly privatized, but there's definitely been some "We should bring some MBAs in here, they make everything better" going on.

It's important to remember that Trump wants to burn America to the ground because a lot of americans mock him instead of pandering to him like he's a god emperor, so letting the virus ravage the population is par the course.

They confirmed roni in my city, so I’m wondering when and how bad the panic’s going to get. We have a comic con in a few weeks. They came out and said that YES, ABSOLUTELY they’re still on. I seriously doubt it, though. What guest is gonna want to fly here? I’m a teacher. There’s no way I haven’t been exposed. I also have the immune system of a god and a Chinese engineered superbug conspiracy is about the only thing that could take me down. Even then, I doubt it. I dug through all my poo poo last night to get ready in case I’m asked to send packets home with students if we close. I may copy it now just to get ahead of everyone else in the building. I like all the education sites with ads on them all like, “Closed for Corona Virus? Try Kafliddle Premium!” Like dang, y’all’s some vultures just to get that sweet PO money. My parents want us to come over tonight. My dad has a lot of heath problems. I’ve informed them that they are, in fact, dumbasses.

While tump is in fact a festering trash bag filled with used condoms, expired hungry-man meals and a low grade malice towards anything that's not him, I wouldn't be surprised if he forgets the roni exists unless someone has just mentioned it to him. Otherwise he exists in a perfect bliss possible only through the complete smoothing of one's brain and deterioration of one's already limited mental faculties.

The beans, disinfected wipes, and TP were pretty much all gone at the two grocery stores I went to last night, I guess people started panicking more after they announced that one dude with the roni had been riding the Toronto AND Mississauga transit systems for three days while sick. I guess if we have a bunghole emergency I'll go over to my mom and dad's house and liberate some supplies from the vast Costco hoard in their basement, since they're in Florida until mid-April, as is the way Canadian boomers.

As a youngish person you are likely to have mild symptoms or none at all so you’ll just need enough to make it a couple weeks just so you don’t get others sick.

No but seriously why is it TP of all things that people are going crazy panic buying? Here was my local supermarket in the SE of the UK yesterday: If I had to self-isolate at home for two weeks and ran out of TP, I'd just shower after I take a poo poo. The only other thing that the shop seemed to be low on was big bags of rice. Plenty of frozen meat and veggies and tinned food. Are people going to eat the TP?

That means not starving to death and having enough of any supplies and medications you depend on to function normally.

To all the people wondering why TP is going out of stock: it's a shitload cheaper than kleenex or tissues and if you know the odds are good you'll catch a respiratory infection where you'll be sneezing a lot you'll go for what's cheap. Also no one wants to quarantine and run out of TP.
