Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[SnakeBoy]

, that wasn't very reassuring.

Well I found it reassuring that very smart people have been trying to figure this out for a long time.

Better than the alternative...

Moving around corners and passing people in the store is an awkward dance.

I'm finding myself getting pissed off when people get in my 6 foot zone. Sucks it's like this

[DAF86]

lol all those "America yeah" commentators when they find out the US was involved too.

I had a guy at tractor supply who kept standing like 2 feet behind me in line and he had the sniffles. Would have really pissed me off if I wasn't 99% sure I've already had it.

Yeah, the bigger the store, the more people act like it's a normal browse and chat scene. Dollar General has been great as they always have something if not what I'm specifically looking for and I'm in and out quickly.

Capitalism bad now.

But props to Dear Leader for his second stopped clocked moment during this show. Also, been saying this for years. The profit motive and saving lives is fundamentally incompatible. This 3M situation is an example of that.

Inheirited a lot of mom's food hoard, but Dad and I still need eggs and stuff once per week. Probably enough canned goods to not have to go to the store at all for a month.

At some point, I have to wonder "is it really worth it to get X"? increasingly... those gravy packets look more and more edible. heh

Basically he's doing everything two months late.

"Could have"?

Yeah maybe it's time to lay off the crazy conspiracy sites for a while.

This screws China, USA and pretty much everyone else short and long term economically.

[RandomGuy]

Yeah, I keep seeing 2 but there's no way that's it.

Some counties in Texas report zero,while right next door there are a few dozen cases. Zoom in on north texas around lubbock.

Aint' no way we have data on all texas counties.

I just find this situation funny because conservatives sure are singing a different tune about capitalism right now. Even Dear Leader, via the defense production act, is behaving socialist. That said, I'm a capitalist, but not a total capitalist. There's some areas where it's just incompatible due to serious conflicts of interests.

Built up about three weeks worth in smaller purchases here and there. One sizable curbside order in a week or so and that's gonna be it for what looks like the peak transmission time here.

Dude, what conspiracy site? I uploaded a video from RAI. That is the most prestigious Italian network. The only reason I searched for it it was because I saw it on live TV here in Argentina.

[pgardn]

, that wasn't very reassuring.

Its about coronaviruses involved in disease in general which we must have a look at and fall back on.

But Now we got a new guy on the block.

This below an opinion but it involves more recent studies. On some of these you just have to follow the citations in the article before you find even larger comparison article.

https://www.the-scientist.com/news-o...-viruses-67088

where just one fork leads to...

https://www.cell.com/cell-host-micro...128(20)30072-X

And then you realize there are even more citations exponentially increasing and many are from China. Which is to be expected, but peer reviewed and trusted when you get to a series of real studies? not just comparison articles.
Bleh.

Its new. It’s different.

lol Hindsight expert will be a career description by the end of this pandemic

[Blake]

Piece of hobby lobby.

[RandomGuy]

Yeah, I just noticed the guy used no citations of facts and was a chemist.

If you want to just get an understanding of coronaviruses this is a good read. Hard slog and impossible to understand everything in it without being an expert but still a good read. From 2009...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2830095/

Or just read the conclusion. Can't say "we" didn't know...

There is your shutdown challenge. Understand all the technical stuff in there. (bookmarks) Fun weekend project. I got a lot of that stuff, but there is enough vocab to occupy a few days.

[Nathan89]

yea,200,000 plus here we come

Apparently the 100k-200k is modeled only till August and doesn't consider a second wave. So yeah unless these drugs being tested end up working miraculously.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sorry your guy is such a horrible failure when it actually counts.

Gotta be a terrible feeling.

[Nathan89]

Trash said the virus was another Dem hoax, and rightwingnutjobs are saying it's a plot to take down Trash, left wing media is overhyping the virus to make Trash look bad. etc

False.

[DarrinS]

Yeah, the bigger the store, the more people act like it's a normal browse and chat scene. Dollar General has been great as they always have something if not what I'm specifically looking for and I'm in and out quickly.

My local CVS pharmacy is pretty empty. And you can usually find the soap, isopropyl alcohol, etc. that is usually gone at the grocery. But, CVS is pretty expensive. I don't GAF at this point.

.0066*.6*330,000,000= way more than 200k

Expert modeling keeps inching the average prediction up, currently past 200k.

At this point, if Trump says "less than 200k", the smart money is on more, and even you know it.

Yeah, the 24-hour CVS stores here haven't cut their hours so that's been great at night.

[Nathan89]

, my only daily test is to make sure I can smell things.

This thing is so ed up.
