I have plenty and the grocery stores still haven't been rushed in my area. Although some cleaning agents are not available. One could easily get the groceries they need at the moment.



As of now thank goodness full scale panic hasn't sat in here yet in MD. The only thing that's impossible to find is hand sanitizer anywhere. Hand Sanitizer shelves are completely wiped out.

Yeah, I just became mindful of all the indirect contact I have with people via surfaces just going about my day. Barring a hazmat suit or Spider-Man sanitizer shooters this is going to be super difficult to avoid. Flattening the curve is the only option remaining.

I mean I wash my hands a lot and try to be careful about what I touch, but am I not supposed to talk to people, go shopping, get the mail, drive my car, etc? All I'm hoping to accomplish with being careful is not increasing the rate of infection. If I don't get it it'll be mostly because I got lucky based on how this is projected to spread.

I recognize there is risk. I carry hand sanitizer and paper towels in my truck. I use a paper towel to operate the gas pump. I take advantage of the alcohol wipes to clean the handle of shopping carts. I consciously not touch my face until I can wash my hands after general exposure. I know I still might get it.

That's not going to save you when the HEB bagger coughs. Especially not if it turns out this is airborne and not just passed by droplets (jury still seems out on it). Through no fault of your own you still have a great chance of getting it if it progresses as expected, eg infecting until it has infected enough to not be easily transmittable any more. It's great you are taking a ton of precautions and I hope everyone else here is too but there are too many chances to get it from a population that is largely going to get stricken with it, and it'll only get more likely over the next months most likely. I have no illusions of being in control here other than trying to minimize what I reasonably can without becoming a nut like Howard Hughes. I do expect to get it at some point.

The load that can be carried by dust in the air is much less.
But if it keeps recirculating I guess you could get a significant viral load.

Hell, we dont even know what load it takes.

It also might be that people with the mildest symptoms produce the largest loads early in infection, which is unsettling but might explain why it’s so contagious.

This is such a mess, but it is getting people interested in science and asking good questions so we might be more capable next time.

I probably wouldn't even be sweating this shit, if I was in my 20s or 30s.

I'm in my 20s or 30s and I'm not afraid of it for my own health, but I'm afraid of getting it from someone else and then spreading it completely unknowingly. They say some people who get it don't even have symptoms for a while and don't know they have it. Hardly the most scary virus but it can kill some.

Take comfort in knowing you are wrong. Government and quality of HC makes a world of difference, they won't all be the same. I don't get how you're presuming they will. Go to a country with socialized medicine and try to compare their waiting rooms to those in the states.

I have. While it's not the same everywhere, they're actually not that different. I would actually attest that the average time to get help in the ER is probably worse in the US (and I'm not even including cost, which is many times higher).

If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things — praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts — not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They might break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.

It assumes a good size of the other 250 million that are left will also get it, and some will contribute to the total count (at less than 2% rate).

But that's exactly what that tweet was talking about. Without early measures to avoid spreading this thing around, you will have a high rate of infections.

It's really not that surprising a number, very well within the bounds of reasonable guesses. 40% to 70% worldwide infection rate predicted. Split the difference and call it 55%. 0.7% mortality rate like South Korea measured and you're at 1.26 million dead in the US. Conservatively take that to 1% because of how unprepared we are in addition to our poor health vs Korea (eg we're fat fucks with bad blood pressure) and now you're at 1.8 million. Hell even at 40% infection rate with 0.7% mortality you're talking 916k dead.

that's why they are not even going to put the effort to test

no point and it actually would cause more panic. that's the same thing that probably China did. that's why they have their curb down. it just means they slowed down testing. no point.
