Coronavirus Thread mark II: Official Apocalyptic Edition

[San Lumen]

Their is no sense of having a different take on anything on this thread.

there are right takes and there are wrong takes, and yours are wrong

it would be one thing if they simply are different, but they're wrong too, so what can i do about it? feign idiocy and praise trump?

This is someone who thinks Trump can do no wrong and purports to speak for all Republicans

Anyone of note got Covid recently?

[Telconi]

You hope that's the result of everything you see.

I want competent leadership in a national emergency and to see him pay for his mishandling. What a terrible thing I know

Then why do you do it?

Do what?

Anyone of note got Covid recently?

that depends on what you mean by "of note"

Anyone of note got Covid recently?

Got it ? Thousands no doubt.
Died from it ? That's more manageable.

Anyone of note got Covid recently?

We just lost a clutch of musicians from Ellis Marsalis to Bill Withers.

Why do you want to see him "Pay for his mishandling" if you know it's a terrible thing?

Louisiana’s peak is gonna be...at this rate...Good Friday.

That is...both disturbing...terrifying...and I dunno how to feel about this. The earlier the peak comes the better I guess, but...the peak in resource use is Holy Thursday...

Geez Louise, truly entering the Garden of Gethsemane with Christ, I see. Hopefully we come out of tomb with Christ sooner than later.

Just don't follow Chirst's example. Stay inside.

Well,I've been thinking about who your head fell to the ground.Is that Richard Milos of the stone age? I was impressed by his smile

...I don’t know how to respond to this. But I am inside. But yeah...this gonna hurt real bad during Holy Week of all times.

So this virus is an egalitarian.27 top artists have died, most of them from the United States.Although they are very old, they can still bring you a lot of surprises if they have the chance

Tip: next year, ban carnival and the spread will not be so bad.

I just hope this doesent turn into the new flu.


Also, just as a “show of hands”
What do people think in relation to China once this mess will be all over.
Repercussions, ect ..

[Torisakia]

So according to this website, Alabama's peak in resources will be April 17th while the peak in deaths will be April 19th. So from this I can deduce that because there will be more patients than resources, the patients will die. But because those patients are dying, it frees up the resources to then be used on new patients and thus dwindling down the deaths.

Pretty certain my Macroeconomics professor used an example like this when explaining supply and demand.

We'll just tell them not to do it again and start the whole process over.

It’s a shame he was so accurate ...

This pandemic overall, is perhaps one of the greatest events to ever happen in terms of revealing the folly of globalization. Once this is all over, the world has a big opportunity to move away from globalization if not do away with it permanently, with regards to the manufacture of certain things.

There are many articles trying to explain why the richest country in the world can't get enough suitable masks to its people. But not one of them can truly do it justice how pathetic the world economic order is, where 50% of the world's production for masks is in China and many other countries have forgotten how to make domestic equivalents. Same goes with ventilators and much more.

Even if one is to keep globalism in its current form, I don't think many would argue against keeping the production of necessities like medical equipment within one's own borders.

Or in favour of outsourcing your research facilities to China.
Which sadly is exactly what has happened ove the past decade. It does not help now.

This is a very badly written article, but the graph shows something I can't find a better source for. Research and development spending per country ... The USA dominates and China doesn't make the list.

Wherever remedies are discovered, I'm sure they will be shared around the world. I'd be more concerned about having pharma manufacturing within your own borders. Whoever actually makes the stuff will serve their own people first.

Dismantle them. That is the ultimate goal.

Our Secretary for the Department of Interior and Local Governance got it. Other than that, I think everything else has cycled through the news.

Things go on as usual except that the EU and especially germany loose a hell of a lot of prestige with the periphery whilst China gets a big boost on account of not just successfully handling the situation but selflessly helping others do so as well.
Whether this means more people in the long run start seeing the western way as less beneficial than the Chinese system is anyone's guess.

Make no mistake, the only winner in this pandemic is the PRC.

China is mostly in the media due to their "selfless aid" consisting of useless substandard masks. I doubt that will impress many.

[Albrenia]

Most of the media I've seen has been rather harsh on the PRC for causing the whole mess. As for how well they've handled the crisis, I'm not sure their numbers or claims can be trusted quite yet.

Reportedly wuhan has cranked out 46,000 urns for their claimed 3,300 dead. Their crematoriums have run 24/7, enough time to cremate over 40,000 bodies. Chances are China suffered far worse than they are saying. Hopefully that isnt the case and the urns/crematoriums were just a precaution.

In other news my managers wife has a fever and I'm developing a cough. Construction is deemed sacrificial essential though so if I call off of work without a doctor's note saying I have corona virus I'll get fired and lose my health insurance. Dont worry though, the warehouse we are building for an auto parts supplier is on schedule and will be ready some time in late 2020.
