The Coronavirus Thread

[Sean Hayden]

Dr Anthony Fauci, US infectious diseases chief, concurred that the US is "starting to see the levelling off and coming down" of cases and deaths.

...the US mortality rate is "significantly less than many of the other countries, when you correct them for our population".(Dr Birx)

The US is still in an early phase. Numbers will get worse.

Close to peak actually.

Close to peak actually.

call me cynical, but 'A' peak.

[Sean Hayden]

--supposed to peak around Sunday. I'm hopeful.

Yes, the first peak, as I understand it.

But 'as I understand it' is a bit limited. All I know is that everyone who matters is taking it very seriously. Even Scot, who disagrees with the majority understanding, sounds to me like he is taking it seriously.

I wonder what the next unexpected news around it will be. At the moment, we don't even know when a lockdown will end, nevermind how such a thing would look. We just got an announcment about more orders (as opposed to the advisories we have had) and a new enforcement crew.

Out on the land, your tent should be the same as your house (no visitors allowed). I wonder how much the GNWT is expecting to enforce, and how they'll do so (logistically I mean, they have made clear they will use fines/etc.)

What's going to happen next:

April 20th: Scientists find out that cats are a major vector in spreading the virus
April 30th: Governments decide, all cats are going to be culled
May 15th: All cats gone. Cat pictures are banned on the internet.

...May 1, 2020: Civil war breaks out in America between cat people and dog people.


Saw a FB ad for a t-shirt - COVID 19 2020 - Operation Enduring Clusterfuck.

Dogs too. And stobor.

Mosquitos are immune, though, lucky for all of us.

No, saw that on TV today. Cats can catch the virus, dogs can't. (It's the opposite with sticks)

[Sean Hayden]

We either peak around Sunday or we don't Cunt.

If we do I imagine we'll be back to work very soon afterwards. They are talking about beefing up healthcare first. So, I guess as soon as we slow down and the inventory starts filling back up we'll be opening more.

So if someone jizzes on your dog, you can't catch the herp?

At least by your 'logic'...

I understood there would be several peaks, but also that when there was no risk of healthcare capacity crisis, there was a much easier time dealing with those peaks.

So if some country starts producing morebetter tests, PPE, ventilators and cheeseburgers, they will lead the world in fighting this.

If an infected human gets in contact with a cat, the day can get infected. The virus can then infect other cats and maybe even humans. The same is not true for dogs. The virus cannot live and multiply in dogs.
