They're not fecking around.Wow, that’s mental.

I was going to leave it until the 18th to get a full two month review but the next few days doesn't seem likely to change anything.Reading about this on the BBC. It looks likely to be a more serious outbreak than first thought as it is probably human to human transmitted. This is apparently the seventh corona virus in humans and genetically most like SARS.
Hopefully it dies out quickly but I think this is most likely the kind of news you get at the start of the apocalypse.

That's actually insane. Do those in charge have a problem with following scientific evidence from rest of the world? It's negligence at this point.Not to mention we have tens of millions of people genuinely believing that quarantining people after they're symptomatic is going to stop the spread of the virus.
Exercise outside if possible matey - light jog outside etc.Oh Man, I've been holding off going to the gym since this escalated because it seems like a prime spot for superspreaders but now i'm thinking I should go...not that im obese but being fit and active seems like a good state to be in.
I'll go for a swim and a sauna that seems like a safer option
The elderly nurse youtube guy that keeps getting posted on here had an episode all about it.I did read about it but it was over my head.
They won't be kicking these nurses and doctors out of the hospital room when they're lying on a bed needing their expertise.No she can't. The nurse can report her to the PRTB. Still, though, can you imagine having to deal with that shit when you're already having to deal with the stress of your job putting you in harms way every day?!
Yeah the stuff that I've been reading and listening to both said that it wasn't an impossibility, per se. I think it was more to do with the fact that nobody knows 100%, so many professionals were speaking about alternatives and saying that just because you do test positive twice it doesn't necessarily suggest that you've been reinfected. More likely that it was just lingering in the body and the person that was being tested had a false negative test.Pretty sure that generally its possible if the virus mutates pretty much (my in law and brother are both doctors so going off of them here). We can't be sure how many times the virus has mutated already though, and if it will keep changing or what else. But theoretically it's definitely possible to get reinfected.
Yeah I did watch it but I can't remember it now if I'm honest. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and get brain fog as result or so my gp tells me, so I really feel like I've got severe cognitive problems sometimes and hence I really struggle with some stuff, but that's for another thread.The elderly nurse youtube guy that keeps getting posted on here had an episode all about it.
Every country made that mistake and also doesn't help that politicians joined the bandwagon on that speech. If it wasn't for the italian health professionals exposing how out of control the situation is (and bare in mind that the Lombardia region is one of the best places in the world in health services) that also helped on triggering this decision.Not to mention we have tens of millions of people genuinely believing that quarantining people after they're symptomatic is going to stop the spread of the virus.
Due to what? An economic collapse?Could this pandemic be the turning point where over the next few years China surpasses the US as the world's foremost power? All depends on how the US handles it I guess.
By all accounts, false negatives are relatively common.Yeah the stuff that I've been reading and listening to both said that it wasn't an impossibility, per se.

Consensus being (amongst the experts i've been reading and listing to) is that it's unlikely, but not impossible.

I was thinking about this earlier today and if it goes ballistic in America as predicted, you could imagine the likes of Trump politicising it as a biological weapon from China and uses it as a means to war.Could this pandemic be the turning point where over the next few years China surpasses the US as the world's foremost power?

How come they suddenly have all this cool tech ready to go?
True. The "Stay at home, wash your hands frequently and you're good" speech went all over the place. They were treating this threat as a seasonal flue.*promoted the bandwagon
Italy have waived mortgage payments for a while not sure about rentJust in theory, how would a nationwide lockdown work? We've got mortgages and rents to pay, and general living costs. I guess, the living costs (outside of bills + food) get driven down in the event of a lockdown but what about mortgages and rent?
How has it worked in China?
Bit hyperbole to say the least, its shitty situation but its nowhere near lost like you are suggesting, there is no way every single person is going to know someone who dies from this, no way!I was going to leave it until the 18th to get a full two month review but the next few days doesn't seem likely to change anything.
This is going to be the worst epidemic we have lived through and I don't think we are going to be the same people afterwards. Its going to go on for ages and everyone is going to know someone close who dies from Corvid-19.
Sucks to be right on this.
The government probably suspends debt collection and allow the army to deliver food door to door.Just in theory, how would a nationwide lockdown work?

This would be the same Who that sang 'hope I die before I get old' I suppose?At this point, I’d hold more credibility to The Who (band) giving me Covid19 info than the World Health Organisation.
Sad state of affairs.
How come they suddenly have all this cool tech ready to go?
Italy have suspended mortgage payments already, so you'd probably see similar bespoke measures elsewhere. Ultimately though a lockdown would be extremely difficult to sustain for an extended period for a multiple of reasons and the government can only do so much to negate those factors.Just in theory, how would a nationwide lockdown work?

You're talking about a landlord, remember.That's very true. I really dont get people like that. You'd think civilians would be more understanding and show compassion to those who care for the rest of the population.
Okay thought so. Yeah, I guess the more you let it spread the bigger/longer lockdown you need to control it. I reckon if at the initial outbreak, China and the govts had acted pro-actively they wouldn't have to take measures as severe as they've had to now (China have now been in lockdown for over a month IIRC).Italy have suspended mortgage payments already, so you'd probably see similar bespoke measures elsewhere.

Bit tricky to do that when government advice is to act as normal when coming back from all but a very short list of countries. Their only advice is to keep an eye on yourself, and self isolate if you get symptoms.I wouldn't be able to hide my reaction to such stupidity. Maybe they should quickly pass a legislation criminalising reckless exposure.
A lot of people are misinformed or just dont care. One of the major reasons why it spreads out so fastYeah. Pretty much what I've been saying for months. I find it a little funny that its taken 3 months for a lot of people to start taking this seriously.
Well... they're republicans.Do those in charge have a problem with following scientific evidence from rest of the world?
They're presumably just night vision goggles.How come they suddenly have all this cool tech ready to go?
Are your really surprised? People have been allowed in from Italy when it was locked down domestically.Surprised Madrid fans were allowed into the country with Spain also taking off.
Unfortunately, many people are idiots. A low-level of understanding of math would help anyone, and make them realize that this is a much bigger problem than the number of people who are infected today. A lot of people in a conceptual level fail to understand what does an exponential function mean, and intuitively think that '500 people got infected in a country of 60 million, so the risk of me getting infected is 500/60m, and so not a big deal', or 'it took 3 months for 500 people to get infected, so in the next 3 months there is gonna be another 500 people to get infected, so not a big deal'.Some twat posted this in response to me on another forum.
Words fail me.
