So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

so quarantining shit outside for 72 hours is futile; some labs are seeing it last 9-28(!!) days in this weather.

ive purchased some UV sterilization lamps as well as a space heater. ill be quarantining all mail and non-perishable food and supplies in a closet at 86+ degrees f for at least 3 days.

my intention obviously is to suspend the items on glass and hit them with UV from above and below.

this should be obvious of course.

Italy is in deep trouble. They were mostly northern Italy cases, but now cases are popping up everywhere. They’re adding cases every hour. And given the tourism to Italy, that spells major trouble. 10 northern Italian towns on lockdown for a week, as if that is the cure.

They thought they had patient zero narrowed down because he dined with first person diagnosed and had recently been to China. He had zero antibodies though. He clearly has no symptoms given he doesn’t have it. They are scratching their heads now.

Forget Iran. That place is going to be China in early January by the end of next week.

weve reached a point where 'managed' is going to involve concepts like shutting down the border, grounding commercial flights, and generally halting interstate transport for at least 30 days.

China numbers. ROW is bigger story now plus who knows how fake these are. 76,921 Chinese cases. So we are creeping on 2k outside. I’d guess it’s 20x that. People now just getting test kits in and starting to realize grandpa might not have the garden variety flu given he morphed from the sniffles to needing a ventilator in two days

San mentioned this early on, but this thing is a respiratory virus. It’s hitting these places where male smokers outnumber women. And killing them. There might be a war real soon on tobacco interests if you want to take a position.

Are you guys worried about the flu or not? Real question.

Dude we posted basically that a month ago.

Extrapolate that 77k number into that 29 million and adjust for deaths. It wouldn’t be that bad because China healthcare often means welding people into their apartment, but this little fucker is virulent and nasty. If the vaccine doesn’t pan out, the deaths on this thing will dwarf those death numbers

I’m fully aware. There has been 70k regular flu deaths worldwide. This thing has the potential to dwarf those numbers if it breaks bad. Not saying it will, but it might. And this was a particularly bad seasonal flu season. Worst strain in a long time. Average year has .01 death rate. This year it was .05.

Not sure the total impact but the anti vaccine movement probably helps that uptick as well.

For comparison, COVID-19 has a death rate of about 2%, or about 200 times that of the flu during a typical season.
