Coronovirus discussions

I like this one from MI:

The problem is that in order to achieve that yellow urve, you have to shut nearly everything down and keep people away from eachother for a long time. People with the virus, symptomatic or not, will be capable of spreading it for several weeks. So all this quarantining and social distancing will have to be kept up for months. I just don't see the populace complying with that. We're going to be somewhere between the two curves above.

According to Carmaker1, MY2021 is toast. Best case would probably be mid2021 as a MY 2022. Of course the general economy or viability of Ford and its suppliers might upend that as well.

Where was this said?

Nevermind....

I'm sure it is the type of situation as at my work. ... they don't know what they will do yet, so they will not commit one way or the other. I can't say I blame them, the way things go in the world we now live in.

The damage to the economy and small business is so much more severe than the actual virus. The hysteria and media drivin panic along with the whole country shutting down is causing so much strife. I bet the suicide count outnumbers the virus deaths when all is said and done.... But anything to try and make the president look bad before the election, right? I'm so sick of it.

That and the general health deterioration of being homeless, from job loss.

If we’re lucky, you’ll think you were right in a month. The CDC said if we did nothing, we were looking at 1.2+ million deaths in the US.

I highly doubt the president allowed the left and the press to push him into destroying the economy. There is a reason he has made this choice, and that reason is the alternative is much worse than we can comprehend/ are being told.

1.2M seems optimistic.

With a modestly easy to spread disease that hides symptoms easily you can expect about half the population to get it (165/330) over the course of 3-6 months, with only half of them reporting because the others are asymptomatic, and if the overall mortality rate is about 1.5%, being reported as 3%, then you're looking at 2.475M. There are easily that many unhealthy/susceptible people available (half of Italy's fatalities had 3 or more pre-existing medical conditions).

This is the type of stupidity that needs to be suppressed. The country is not shutting down to make the president look bad you absolute fucking moron.

I spoke to a good friend of mine today. We worked together for many years with a great group of guys, but the company went out of business. He now works with most of our old coworkers for a (large for industry) company here on the island. They hosted an event last week that I chose not to attend because of the risk of infection. I saw the pictures on Facebook of all the guys and felt I should have gone at least to see everyone. He told me today the company is closed for at least two week as one employee has tested positive and many more are sick including him. The doctor tested him for everything except covid-19 because they don’t have test kits. Doctor says all other tests are negative so it is most likely Coronavirus. He told him to go home and try not to infect anybody else. He is self quarantined in a bedroom, wife and kids in another room. Ten of his coworkers have same symptoms and no test to confirm. No big deal right? Thing is, they are not counted in the number of confirmed cases. How many more positives are out there already? This virus is spreading fast. And yes, I am glad I didn’t go to the event.
