Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

How bad will tech companies be hit?

 

[keko jones]

What is hard to accept about the reality that no country has a health system physically capable of taking care of half their population getting sick at the same time?

Italy is rushing student doctors into hospitals (10000 of them) and scraping their exams because they need the manpower. The US is calling retired doctors back into action right now. In this country we only have 6000 hospitals and maybe a couple million hospital beds (if we are generous). What happens if 10 million Americans become sick? 50 million?

The closures are the cost of ignoring preventive measures and ignoring experts. We had been warned about cutting government agencies that would address pandemics but we didn't listen. In the end, we will be losing more than if we had kept the CDC adequately funded and staffed to handle the spread of the virus when we first detected it here.

Let's hope we will remember this event the next time morons run on "cuts cuts cuts."

buc em dont give a damn about any of this, his real beef is the NBA shutdown. Somewhere in his delusional mind, still think the 76ers would of have won the chip this year.


SMH.

Country got a big problem with alcoholism

Cuomo Announces Bars & Restaurants Can Sell To-Go Cocktails During Coronavirus Shutdown

"Whatever you could order [in] the bar or restaurant or distillery or winery you can purchase through takeout," Cuomo said.

Reminds me of the It's Always Sunny ep where they quarantine themselves because of the flu and the gang gets sick one at a time. Turns out they were never sick just experience alcohol withdrawal.

How bad will tech companies be hit?

depends on the type of tech

Do you think this catastrophe could eventually force the country's hand and provide citizens with universal health care in the years to come?

It's forcing a lot of industries to re-evaluate their approach and abandon the practices of old. It's actually sad that it takes the threat of death to progress the world.

What’s an acceptable death rate? Have we not seen the full brunt just yet in the US? Sitting pretty low in NY at 0.9%. Washington is the highest at 5%. Most others within that 3% range. Worldwide average is 3.9%. Id say we’re below the norm. So we’re doing something right.

Too early to say. It's only starting to sink in here this week. I say In late April we'd know a lot more.

I’m wondering if there will be exclusive hospitals for all those affected, including doctors. And the doctors are forced to work. I want to say I heard they’re doing this in Italy.

Why are we still calling it “the coronavirus”?

I still think we are just under reporting everything. Not that if we report every case the death rate will go up but i still don't think we have our hands around it. It is strange to me how easily this thing spreads and yet our numbers aren't jumping like you would think quite yet

This virus is scary because of how it prays on the immuno-compromised. It is a strange virus in that it doesn't effect children and the elderly like you would think. The death rate for the older folks is very scary (IMO).

U.S. coronavirus plan anticipates 18-month pandemic and widespread shortages

WASHINGTON — A federal government plan to combat the coronavirus warned policymakers last week that a pandemic “will last 18 months or longer” and could include “multiple waves,” resulting in widespread shortages that would strain consumers and the nation’s health care system.

what should it be called?

God I wish somebody would knock this dude off. What a waste of human life.

My mans is LAPD and said his sergeant said major major announcement coming this morning. He’s thinking martial law.

Wouldn't the armed forces be the branch that executes martial law. I dont think police make that call..

That’s usually how things go unfortunately yet these old companies want to talk about how “innovative” they are.

I used to live in Philly for years and this is crazy to think about. One of my good friends works in Two Liberty and has been saying the same thing. I hope this doesn’t spill over into SIPS SZN for y’all

what should it be called?

COVID -19 or What it really is...SARS.

 

[everysingletime]

I hate how Trump is just going to keep calling this the chinese virus. If he wasn't the president I'd be muting him on twitter already for real.

 

[squatchnt]

COVID -19 or What it really is...SARS.

I was wondering this myself as I see the 2 terms used interchangeably. .

 

[everysingletime]

COVID -19 or What it really is...SARS.

SARS is a different disease

*There will be stipulations and the ones that are in need the most, WON'T be eligible...as always in every disaster.

China? Like the China we were in “trade wars” with. Man, it would be smart not to buy things from China, it might come with the corona...
