If we're shutting all these things down to flatten the curve, then how come this pandemic won't peak until May/June...

NYC is just becoming detectable right now. Another two weeks, another two weeks, another two weeks. NYC is going full lockdown very shortly, and the numbers are still going to explode.

Nothing burger pandemic?

Is there any point in acting differently to normal, seems inevitable that almost everyone will get it eventually. Plus it shouldn't kill you if you aren't really old.

It looks to be ending up that way, depends on numbers the next few days. Sick people should absolutely stay home, but people need to remember only suspect cases for those at risk and healthcare workers are being tested so no new cleared cases can be added.

Enough are already infected to just about max hospital capability once they get sick. It's 10 days or more from now until all the currently infected get sick enough to need hospital so that next 10 days of exponential growth is basically set in stone.

What I wonder about the flattening is if they prolong it, how can the economy ever reasonably restart? People will go insane and riot before then.

In Britains model they're relying on people breaking quarantine in order to ensure herd immunity. Chances are only young people will do it so it's a perfect scenario.

They have to 'flatten the curve', Bruce. So anyone who suggests letting it whip through the young fast can be ridiculed for not wanting global economic depression to protect the elderly

>implying the virus only started spreading when we noticed it and started locking shit down

This, precisely.

STOP FAT SHAMING ITS INSENSITIVE AS FUCK
Theres nothing wrong with curves

Coronavirus has an asymptomatic peruod ranging from 3 days to 14+, during which you are already contagious. People don't know their infected until they've already spread it. All they can do is minimize human interaction

The real incubation period of corona is 20-30 days

They waited for enough people to get sick to be able to explain those measures to the people afterwards

if COVID has a Ro of 2.5, then shouldn't this distancing make the average Ro drop below 1 and eventually cause some virus family trees to just stop once the person with it can no longer transmit it so easily?

It was already global in January then. I.e., these measures are draconian, do nothing, and are a test of martial law reactions

Wenall already have it you fucking moron. No social distancing or lockdown will get the virus out of people‘s system again. This is a govt cope. They know they should have taken those measurements at least a month ago but they were too scared because if muh economy. Now they close everything down because they are well aware that we‘re going to go into a full blown happening, so the economy is going to go to shit anyways. This way they can say „we did all we could. We took drastic measurements but it was too strong. Don‘t kill us pls, we tried.“

It's in the air.

IT'S OVER.

All of us already have it.

It will be activated trough 5G.

We are literally DEAD WALKING.

>how the fuck is the virus going to move from person to person if we're all in our houses for 2 months?

it won't nigger, that's the idea

Yes. I would have been fine with quarantine for those at risk. Death rate is .5% in those under 50 who aren't at risk. They're panicking over an opportunity to increase human immunity. In 10 years when we have another SARS like outbreak, no one will put 2+2

It gives you permanent fucked up lung damage and kills people in their 20s and 30s

>it won't nigger, that's the idea
And you think it's gonna what... suddenly disappear after we've been locked down long enough?

the NYC case is gonna be interesting because it's possible the number is going to skyrocket among Hasidic Jews. 100 were diagnosed today and that number is gonna go up.

But the upside there is that enough of that community is insular that the damage can be contained.

I still have to work whether or not you like it, NEET.

Not everyone lives in the California Bay Area. Everywhere else is normal, minus some businesses closing.

Oh yeah? Try flattening this curve bitch

Why do they keep fat shaming coronachans curves? Telling her to flatten her curves out is body shaming. I'm literally shaking

It's better to cancel the economy for 4 months than to unnecessarily leave thousands of treatable people dying in the streets. If the hospitals are full of corona patients, people can't get treated for other serious issues like broken bones, heart attacks, any surgery.

Oh yeah. That and the government slamming the economy into the ground bf or NO fucking reason

"Flattening the curve" is a meme. It's literally impossible when you look into the math of it.
medium.com/@joschabach/flattening-the-curve-is-a-deadly-delusion-eea324fe9727

then shouldn't the peak be sometime in April as opposed to 2 months from now?

In my experience none of the old people give a single fuck about no virus.

One of the Chinese doctors that discovered this and got muzzled by the government was like 34 and he died of it. Young people dying has been a feature of this for months, well know. Educate yourself more deeply beyond tabloids. Read the case studies that have been coming out of multiple nations since the start

flat is justice

And the ones who have had it and recovered, or didn't even know they had it because they thought it was just a flu... conspiracy I'm sure.

So you're just a retarded anarchist or something? What part of "flatten the curve" do you not understand?

Imagine when they realize how empty their life is inside ha hah

>Where are the numbers on the graph?
This looks like a bunch of pseudoscience malarkey.

How many people in retirement will now live in poverty? How many businesses are now ruined. How much of the economy will be further consolidated so that gram and gramps could fuck around in their depends for another year or two? OLD PEOPLE DIE FROM RESPIRATORY ILLNESS BY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS EVERY YEAR.

Those non Chinese death numbers say otherwise

It really looks like they pulled that graph straight out of their ass

It's already peaked. Anyone that says otherwise is a fearmongering kike shill.

Daily reminder that the number of infected does not follow a bellcurve and that that meme is retarded. The actual curve may have multiple peaks of varying size.

>believing the (((CDC)))
user, I don't know what to tell you.

Think I had a little stint of the Shanghai Shivers myself, but got over it. I did my part.

250 dead in their 30s in Italy

Also several bills will no doubt be whisked through Congress and the senate while everyone’s afraid and distracted. Such as the ‘earn it act’ happening now, a bipartisan effort to strip away more of our rights

Ah yes, The Great TP Panic of 2020. Can't wait to tell the grand kids about that one.

So we realize that "flattening the curve" is just propaganda to calm the masses? People will die, probably millions, you cant tell that to people though.

But what comorbidities did they have? Cancer? Heart problems? Compromised immune system from something, I'll guarantee you.

Because someone did. Search up the story about the fucking dude who just pasted a line in there and posted it to twitter. That's where the whole meme came from.

Source?

The never ending fuckery poster

I agree. See

>how many random people can catch the coronavirus from one person at a grocery store?
>the big events that would transmit this are pretty much all cancelled.
Public Health England estimates that 95% of influenza transmission happens during ordinary everyday interaction, with large gatherings only contributing 5%. Since this virus persists on surfaces longer than flu, I expect big gatherings to be even less important. While a crowd is an obvious method of exposing a lot of people at once, your chances of catching something are a function both of how many sources of infection there are around you and how long you spend in that environment. Most people don't spend a lot of their day in a crowd, but they will walk down the street, passing within a few feet of other people several times a day. They will handle items which could have been touched by an infected person, then fail to wash their hands before touching their face. They will brush against a surface which an infected person has coughed near, then not take their clothes off when they get home, smearing the infected material all over the place. Thousands of possible ways to get infected during a day.
More importantly, people will just fail to comply with instructions. A lot of people are stupid, irresponsible, misinformed or crazy. They think it is 'just a flu bro', or 'a Jewish hoax', or that everyone is going to die so there is no point trying to avoid it. I'm sure there are still millions of people in first-world countries who have somehow failed to notice there is a pandemic. The human capacity for incompetence is terrifying.

great read. shit's fucked.

The economy needed a reset fuckface, most people can't even afford to live; we're reaching a point where even lower-middle class people are starting to feel poor. Crisis always leads to opportunity

People will still be allowed to go to food stores.

Yes, I'm sure all the benefit will just trickle down Schlomo and Ching Chong's nutsacks and go directly to pay off your student loans.

>cancel the economy for 4 months
>4 months
I don't think you've really grasped how long this is going to take. If we get really lucky, we might have a vaccine ready in two years. Of course, that assumes there is some infrastructure left to manufacture and distribute the vaccine. If we don't get lucky... most of the people who would have died will be dead of old age before the shutdown ends.

>And you think it's gonna what... suddenly disappear after we've been locked down long enough?
The objective is to slow down the infected so the hospitals don't collapse until a vaccine is found.

Huh. Canadian quality of life is so much lower than here. Weird

It's really not, he's just economically illiterate and probably one of the retards begging for minimum wage raises then wondering why everything is inflating accordingly.

even people who believe in this stuff think they'll have to lock everybody down 3 or 4 times to get it to work...

these idiots know that if the first time doesn't do the trick, there'll be a lot of people who won't listen a 2nd or 3rd time, right?

This, this, this.

Trump knew in December from intel reports about COVID-19. He should have closed the border to all aliens and quarantined all citizens that came in, as the law already allowed him to do. Then he should have ramped up testing. The moment one person tested positive, the entire country should have been locked down.

Trump being a businessman, places high value on the economy. That clashes with a protective response.

>It will be activated trough 5G.
USA doesn't have 5G.

Is this what hanks meant when he talked of flattening the curve?
