Mar 9, 2020 You’ve completely missed the point lol Yeah same here. I would probably survive as I’m young and have no underlying health issues, but contracting it would put some of my older family members at risk whom I come into contact with.
Mar 9, 2020 It already hasn't been contained properly. Rapid spread is happening without testing in Russia, India, and The US of A.
Mar 9, 2020 A lot of similarities with the cold, but from what Ive read you get a dry cough instead of a wet one (no mucus or flem in a dry cough) so thats a big difference. Mainly just being sore, fever, cough, dry throat. I started coughing mucus so Im gucci
Mar 9, 2020 This virus is mainly being over hyped by the worlds governments to get people to buy a bunch of groceries to help boost their economy. Especially since people are cancelling cruises, traveling on airlines for the time being (not helping the local economy). A Walmart near me sold completely out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Like yeah that hand sanitizer is really going to help you from getting this virus. The Flu is still killing way more people. This virus has been around since 1976 and has done little harm. Plus, everyone should own at least 5 biohazard suits, for future more serious outbreaks.
Mar 9, 2020 yeah there's really more of a chance of you paying your rent to your mother on time than dying from this
Mar 9, 2020 This is the biggest risk right now. A vaccine may not be developed for another 6 months if not longer. Markets are already reacting harshly to the virus spreading across the globe.
Mar 9, 2020 anyone in the UK want to make some money? https://www.ladbible.com/news/uk-volunteers-to-be-infected-with-coronavirus-for-3500-20200309 @EminemBase imagine how much pizza hut you could get with this
Mar 9, 2020 This whole thing is a big attack on Trump. Nothing else.. expected something new after the impeachment.
Mar 9, 2020 correct my math/process... strictly talking in the united states (not because i'm a sheltered-c----, but because this is the data i'm working with): on average, 8% of the US population gets the flu each season seasonal flu has an R0 rate ("R naught"...which is the number of people an individual passes the virus on to) of 1.3 coronavirus is estimated to have between 2 and a 3 R0 rate (let's call it 2x's that of the common flu) this means that if uncontained, 16% of the US population could get coronavirus a conservative average coronavirus death rate is 2% rn 2% (death rate) of 16% (infected US population) is .32% (US population deaths) US population is ~330 million 330,000,000 * .0032 = 1,056,000 dead lots of factors to consider though: we're attempting to contain the virus wayyyyyyy more than we do for the flu counter-consideration: the flu has a vaccination, this does not temperatures are starting to get warmer, and as they do so, the virus will fade away quicker just because there's a ~2x's R0 rate, it doesn't mean that exactly 2x's the number of people will get infected
Mar 10, 2020 There’s no basis for the idea the warm weather will slow down the virus. some other things to consider: - this is the first wave. The worst pandemics in modern history (specifically Spanish Flu) had a higher mortality and infectivity on the second wave after mutations and recombinations - The United States has dropped the ball big time on preventing its spread. There are hundreds to thousands of unreported or untested cases currently - the United States only has 3 hospital beds per thousand people. In addition to corona virus deaths, people will die because there aren’t enough beds in the hospitals to support the influx of infected (case in point, Italy) - reduced transportation and economic slowness can lead to other difficulties and even death. Stuff like insulin or other vital medications and supplies could be held up in gridlock.
Mar 10, 2020 Well, I truly do hope millions of Chinese and Americans die, the world is overpopulated and these 2 are largely to blame. Also remember when global warming climate change wis big scary and I said "who gives a f---, some s--- will wipe half of humanity before we get close to f---ing the earth"
Mar 10, 2020 Out of everything, this is my only real concern right now. My little girl is only 3 weeks old, if I catch it where am I going to ride out my 2 weeks of man-flu? Wouldn't dare risk passing it to her.
