Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[ChumpDumper]

Just consider your hands fubar and clean them. If you touch your face with a dirty glove, what's the difference?

99% less likely to touch my face with a gloved hand. It's really just in the bigger stores. So much going on.

devastating


“I’m worried that New York might not be the worst-case scenario when you think about other states that have even older and less-healthy populations, and fewer hospital beds available,” said Retsef Levi, a professor of operations management at the Massachusetts Ins ute of Technology who has developed modeling tools designed to help public officials prepare for the spread of the novel virus and the disease it causes, covid-19.

Why not 1000 Wuhans? Wouldn't that be epic? And you could say you called it. YOU!!

I have a ton of nitrile gloves, but I probably wouldn't waste them on the store.

Anyone ordering HEB or Wal-Mart curbside? I haven't yet, but heard HEB has their together on this.

This is a nice scapegoat, but nowhere near the full picture. We also passed on getting tests from the WHO, the CDC took too long to start and to authorize colleges and private sector to make tests.

I don't care whose fault is it, but we botched a 3 month head start, and for all the grandiloquence about the tests now, it's too late. We still don't have a big picture, and we're just about to find out based on how many people die every day. We failed this one.

You have to be honest with yourself and ask why our country and other western countries failed.

Nah, it’s too late. Without mass testing, complete lockdown was the only way and it’s not happening.

the far right revolution over the last few years didn't help matters

[Trainwreck2100]

CDC-constantly getting their funding cut, and oh and btw they fired the pandemic team. But it's the CDc'a fault

Nixon for opening up China. Fools thinking as China got wealthier it would evolve toward democracy. Greedy businessmen selling out the country for cheap manufacturing to make more money.

China's.

The West was complacent, but not devious like the CCP.

Genius short term move but the race to the bottom led to an overreliance on dem commies for a stupid just-in-time medical supply stocking scheme.

[midnightpulp]

Don't forget the medical personnel. Except for the assholes hoarding the malarian drug, they're the real heroes.

Yep. And the brave Chinese whistleblowers, as well. Not to mention all the checkers, baggers, fast food employees, truck drivers who are keeping society running. Exposes how people like Zucker aren't really that valuable in the grand scheme.

good about the next steps. after the initial shutdown... what happens next??

Is the coronavirus playing games with the world? Do lockdowns have a lasting effect? Hong Kong was a rare success story in the global war on coronavirus. But it also showed what happens when such measures as social distancing, hygiene and protective gear are relaxed too soon. In the past week, confirmed cases in Hong Kong suddenly doubled, mainly due to overseas imports, prompting Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam on Wednesday, March 25 to bar all non-residents from the territory.
This pattern of ebb and surge, which is unfolding also in China, Singapore and Taiwan, begs questions. Is the lockdown model for containing coronavirus at fault? After all, people do get fed up staying at home. Or was the lifting of restrictions premature? These questions lead to another: Maybe the virus did not in the first wave reach what epidemiologists call “critical mass” i.e., infecting enough people for the “herd effect” to kick in. It therefore returned for a second visit.

damn

so even in strict lockdowns, herd effect does not kick in so 2nd wave could be as deadly
