CORONAVIRUS Death Thread

[Jibartik]

IMO we should be shutting down travel from coastal states.

3 months of heavy quarantine worked in Wuhan, a city that is about our coastal states populations... so that means we can stop it here.

We just need to admit we need to stop it first.

It's amazing we need to argue about whether its real first lol but whatever, western culture is what western culture does.

I personally expected america to respond the way SK did with efficiency and demonstrate our amazing for profit healthcare system etc but nope.

If we all just observed china since November, like we could have because it was wide in the open, we'd have been prepared and we wouldn't have had a stock-market crash, (or if we did it would have come 3 months before the virus came here and we could have addressed it rationally).

We basically are behaving now, like did China in November. Like Iran in December, and Italy in February. If we dont get lucky or shape up this next 2 weeks, we'll need to china again, only this time we'll be imitating china from around January, which was locking people inside their houses, building hospitals and care centers, and burning bodies.

Scary stuff.

Edit: At least we know, that in a city of 11 million if you get 75k infected you can stop the spread and contain the virus (if you consider where china is today the other side of the tunnel, which I do). So we got that much going for us, which is nice.

We're talking the kind of fear that like, a global conspiracy to create a fake virus is designed to shatter a foreign economy right?

I just am looking forward to when we can start talking about this thing seriously instead of injecting money into the economy via the fed lighting every match it can strike while we pretend its a hoax.

[solleks]

can you restructure that to make sense

if a higher percentage of people were smart enough to smell this bull shit, they would have no power to do anything

If you want to chose to believe this like I do go ahead, "We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying."
