See how coronavirus is spreading around the world — and what lessons we can take from the countries beating the virus.

The answer is nothing at all - we are not interested in learning. We're America, fuck yeah!

The answer is to stop testing..... problem solved!

This shows how bad this country handled this issue. We have the steepest case curve - over Italy, China or anywhere else when we convert to logarithmic scale and normalizing for 'first case' on the x-axis.

The initial response by our inept government has really fucked us, It was not the time it took for the stimulus or anything else, it was the time it took for the government to realize this is no hoax.

Thousands of Americans are going to die because of this stupid administration. Plain and simple.

There is a thought to this. The course of treatment for any flu like symptoms will be the same. People who have some symptoms are already quarantining. There is really no point to testing general public if they're sick. Docs, nurses, etc, absolutely I would still test though cuz tht can still help.

If anything , we should be testing general public who do not have any symptoms so they can quarantine themselves

I have been saying this for the last month. No one took it seriously in this administration and we're already too late. But we need to do what we can now to increase hospital capacity and control spread further. Instead, they're talking about opening it up. Ugh

 

[twobullz]

That elections have consequences?

But after thousands have died, around November Trump will claim that his leadership saved thousands of others from dying.

good article....thanks.

and for Americans, it's about the worst news possible. We're in the path of a category 77 shit-hurricane slamming into us during an 12.0 earthquake.

Do any of you wear masks when going out in public....if you go out at all?

I don't.

I do slip on gloves, though, whenever going into a grocery store.

Healthy people wearing masks is useless.

Best to go out as little as possible and wash your hands.

How do we know that's actually not the real you instead of a mask?...I mean, maybe it's a recent selfie.

Depressing article

Assuming they're unquestionably healthy. The value of the mask is for those people who think they're healthy, but don't realize they're just asymptomatic.

It is obviously Obamas fault, and god blaming us for allowing the gays to have sex.

Doubles every three days. These numbers should terrify you. Stay the fuck home

Doubles every three days. These numbers should terrify you. Stay the fuck home

plenty of holy-shit in those numbers but what's maybe the scariest is how much the death toll is accelerating from one day to the next

3/1: 2
3/2: 6 - 4
3/3: 9 - 3
3/4: 11 - 2
3/5: 12 - 1
3/6: 17 - 5
3/7: 19 - 2
3/8: 21 - 2
3/9: 26 - 5
3/10: 31 - 5
3/11: 38 - 7
3/12: 41 - 3
3/13: 49 - 8
3/14: 58 - 9
3/15: 65 - 7
3/16: 87 - 18
3/17: 111 - 24
3/18: 149 - 38
3/19: 195 - 46
3/20: 263 - 68
3/21: 323 - 60
3/22: 413 - 80
3/23: 541 - 128
3/24: 704 - 163
Now: 938 - 234

at this rate, we could hit 1000 deaths in a single day in about a week

No but I'll tell you, In Taiwan they will check your temperature whenever you go into a restaurant/Tea house, grocery store or mall. If you pass you get in. If you don't, You stay outside for a few minutes and they try again. It's amazing to me as to why we can't do that here.

It's really scary because we really don't know when this is going to end. I guarantee you we'll lose someone well known soon too.

Well allegedly people are most contagious before they even show symptoms, so I doubt that would help anything.

Also, who feeds the people who don’t pass the “temp test” after they are kicked out of the grocery store?

You can't say that it won't help anything. You can say that a lot will get through but it will certainly catch some.
