I'm gonna leave the house tomorrow and I'm gonna go to Atlanta, and I'm gonna work a few hours, and I might stop at a really nice chinkeye dumpling place on Buford Highway for some -oh-so damn good dumplings. Then whatever I catch is coming home to my family, but hopefully I don't catch anything!

SC schools are closed and our company just went to a work from home stance. I’m in a small satellite office with only 3 people so not as much of an issue for me.
My parents are hunkered down and good old dad is as paranoid as ever...so I doubt they’ll leave the house for the next two weeks. Which is fine with me. We’ve shown them how to get groceries delivered.
We’re going to spray and disinfect every evening after the kids go to bed like we do if one of them is sick. Also, our laundry is beside garage entry so we’re going to impose a mandatory hand washing for anyone that comes in...especially if they were around other people. All clothes are to be washed daily.
We’re going on a war footing. All of the shite going on freaked out the wife so this gives her back a sense of control. Plus makes me feel better too.

I'm going out tomorrow like Chauncey Gardner in the movie "Being There" (1970something), I highly suggest everyone watch it on netflix during your hiatus from life.
I'm going out like this...

A fedora would help with the social distancing.

China was forced to build hospitals.
Italy doesn’t have enough room either.
Not because of media and overparanoid.

And people wonder why it’s important to have informative, ACCURATE public health messages from the president.

I think it has been a small % of the cases, but as the cases grow, so do those net numbers. Seems like healthcare folks are coming down with bad cases of it. It could be lack of sleep mixed with exposure.

Yea the net numbers of young people should increase as the overall cases increase and that makes sense. It’s also not abnormal for young people to get sick from something like this, it’s just that a lot of people are blowing it off as it can’t affect young people.
I think this is going to be a really interesting week, the hospitals are gearing up like they expect it to be rough but I think that’s to try and be safe, though if it hit like it did in Italy it won’t matter. Their system is getting run roughshod over right now.

Keep in mind Italy has a 2nd World socialized healthcare system.
Weird that people are pointing at Italy and saying this is why the US needs universal healthcare.
Also sorry for busting into my wife's wine stash last night and shitposting. I don't remember what hole I went down to end up with MMB.

If we got hit like they did it wouldn’t matter about any possible differences between the healthcare systems though from what I’ve read theirs actually isn’t that bad in northern Italy. That being said one has to think the large influx of Chinese immigrants there helped lead to a huge surge in spread.

Sure their numbers will increase but that doesn't mean infection rates and deaths necessarily will.Infants and children along with working adults were the very 1st to be infected and get sick during H1N1 LINK
quote:
Few young people had any existing immunity (as detected by antibody response) to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus, but nearly one-third of people over 60 years old had antibodies against this virus
Here are the age CV-19 age demographics from a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated. LINK
From these numbers it's pretty clear cut who's getting sick and dying from the virus.

This is false. They are absolutely first-world, and their healthcare system is one of the better ones in the world (considered third, if I recall). This shite can hit us just as hard if we don’t take measures to slow it down. You start having people flooding ICUs that are already operating near capacity, and we could all get screwed.
Those of you planning to go out and purposely show off the fact that you are unafraid and defiant are making this worse. fricking two weeks, man. Sit in your damn house for two weeks. It ain’t that damn hard. Your life will go on. And you may buy everybody a little extra, much needed, time.

I don't know much about Italy's healthcare system but they do have more intensive care beds relative to population than we do.
This morning the Albany Herald reported 8 new infected patients here in the Good Life City. Five of those victims are hospitalized. Three are recovering at home.

We’ve had plenty coming in from Italy completely unchecked for weeks. China as well before the ban. We are not immune.

It is a socialized system having socialized problems. It's a fact, spin your wheels all you want, spin spin spin, but it will still be a fact.
