Big mess is millions dead since that's what has been said so much. MILLIONS.
I projected millions of dead in this thread by the end of the year, so give it time.
Still, I hope very much to be wrong. I laugh off having been wrong if that means that millions havent died.

We're still in the flat part of the exponential curve.
This goes from 10,000 to 100,000 just as easily as it goes from 10 to 100.

Then what? How will we look at ourselves and all the hysteria that has been fueled? Anyone gonna say anything like, damn I was wrong
Millions dead has been the mantra since feburary...
You might want to go back a page or two and see the tweet thread I posted by doctor from Italy. Their hospital system is maxed out and the death rate is now 6%. South Korea is .5%
assuming containment measures fail, which they already have in the US, the death rate in a country is going to depend on its ability to give advanced medical treatment to those with respiratory failure. Beds per capita is what will be most important.
South Korea 13 Italy 3.5 US 2.9
Biden and Sanders have cancelled their rallies tonight and I am going to assume for the foreseeable future.
Harvard will be shutting down campus. Dorms must be vacated by March 23 and students are being told to not return from spring break. All classes will be conducted online only.

They are, but the public ones are under supplied due to the current presidents antics and I expect the virus to spread like wildfire soon enough. Time will tell.

As far as the death rate goes, are we accounting for people going to hospitals and not being able to get care for just various non-virus related illness or injury? Seems like that's going to be a really big problem if hospitals are maxing out their capacity.

If 12 weeks from now we did not have a national lockdown and my holiday wasnt affected I will be very happy.
I will have some excess supllies that will be used throughout the rest of the year. Im not panicked, I just took sensible precautions.
I dont feel like Im making fear driven decissions at all, just rational. And even if the whole Corono situation somehow goes away within the next week, I would act exactly the same next time something similar occurs.
Every country where there is a significant outbreak goes into full lockdown within a couple of weeks. Whether or not that is justefied by the severity of the virus itself is not relevant. The lockdowns are going to happen and when they do, the impact on our personal lives is going to be huge.
Well, not that much for my family, cause we have plenty of food, and when the lockdown starts, thats number one. Having a couple weeks worth of supplies in storage is never a bad idea.

With Rutte at the helm as our prime minster we might not have a lockdown if we had 100,000 cases! Did you see that interview, how utterly weaksauce his measures were?
"we increase the measures if the cases increase" THE CASES INCREASE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT TAKING MEASURES UPFRONT YOU ALOOF IDIOT 
We're headed strauight for a lockdown in our country, if it took 12 weeks it would be astonishing.
Prediction! 1000 cases in Holland before the week is out. On sunday you'd think I'd be tripping but with 382 cases on tuesday its not that outlandish anymore, is it? A doubling and a fart and we're in the 4 digit club.
Italy no longer, it now is in the 5 digit club along with China

No, I called you out for being wrong when you said that masks "won't do any good" with regards to protecting from COVID19. Then you admitted they do help a little. Sheesh, come on dude, you're embarrassing yourseslf.

Mensa is a social group with an entry requirement. It allows people who often feel isolated in society to find peers that have common discussion level. People who are part of Mensa often find friends where they never had any before. Typically members have little interest in sports, social media or gossip and struggle to identify socially. Mensa connects these lonely people to others who are like them. It is not about elitism in any way, though people who can't get in might think that.

I'm not gonna lie IF I got COVID 19 id probably be more freaked out about not being able to smoke herb anQuote:
mushboy said: A real fuss or a fuss everyone else is making? Cause everyone else is being batshit crazy.
All of us here live through the SARS outbreak, H1 N1, zika virus, outbreaks of measles. With all of those people did freak out unduly and we didn't see Community transmission we didn't see infection rates doubling overnight we didn't see fatality numbers rising in the percentage of fatalities Rising. It's also very important to note that this is a very new problem that we don't know how to contain at this point. This is the first time in medical history probably since the polio or the Spanish flu in the sense that with polio parents were taking their kids to the doctor after any small cough or cold because it was a very deadly disease, for a long time we didn't know how to deal with it and just as recently as a few years ago there's been a few remaining iron lung survivors.
We are at a time when the who and cdc who barely weighed in on the other outbreaks I mentioned say this is already getting worse, it's not fair to compare to other diseases fatality rate because its SO new and spread and killed SO fast it's unprecedented. They just had a interview with a 30 year old man that has Covid19 and he is lost almost all of his left lung capacity due to severe pneumonia like symptoms. This isn't just older people and babies we need to worried about here. I think Neil deGrasse Tyson said it best he said something to the effect of that, this is now turned into a social experiment to see if people will actually listen to the data will they actually listen to the scientist,will they actually listen to the precautions needed to be taken. Immediately I saw Trump jumping in downplaying how serious this is because he doesn't want to agree with scientist or be in agreement with any liberal. Then you got people like Nancy Pelosi using it as a political tactic for the election results of the democratic candidates. This goes Way Beyond party lines
This will increasingly be affecting everyone not just the old or the very young if we don't take more financially drastic action.

What a poetic world it would be, with things being as they are, if Trump caught this and died.
Not saying I'd want that or like that, but it would be as poetic as that Iranian health minister denying COVID while he was visibly sick with it, or that Iraqi information minister we all see whenever Ythan drops a sandwich in the server, denying the Americans were anywhere near on Iraqi TV, while interrupted by the roar of US bombs going off.
Trump is totally in the risk group. Elderly, not too healthy, in contact with very many people because of his job.

To be fair aside from an entry requirement that's true of all niche groups. Mensa is made up of people some of them nice, some condescending having a high IQ and an aptitude for lateral thinking doesn't preclude any particular personality failings
Actual on topic content coming next I promise
So with the mortality rate at 3.4% is it the overrunning of hospitals capacities in a short time that's the great fear hear? maybe im being dense. I'm well aware any increase in global mortality is worrying, 3.4% seams to me a reason to wright some big government checks, wash your hands when you go out or come in and keep an eye on that elderly relative, not a reason hoard basic essentials go full T.E.O.T.W.A.W.K.I out in the desert covered in anti bacterial hand gel screaming about the old testament (please read hyperbole as humor)

Look I of course don't want to catch it, but I'm not really changing anything that I don't do normally. I already wash my hands a lot (I'm kind of a germaphobe when it comes to my hands). I'm not going to wash them anymore than I already do. I'm not going to go to work wearing gloves like Ive already seen some people. I'm not going to wear a mask in public like I've seen some people (masks don't keep you from catching it anyway).
I'm living completely as a normally do and if I catch it then I guess I catch it.

Its at that point one must pay attention 
This whole COVID thing is like Greta Thunberg with an UZI: "Either you end the chaos or I END YOU!", kids catch it just as easy with little symptoms, brutal symptoms for the old.
