Coronavirus thread

The irony of all this is that it actually confirms one of StA's old hobby horses, which is that being overweight and diabetic is an extremely dangerous condition.

People who spent their whole lives not giving a damn red cent about their health are dying. Quelle fucking suprise.

I'm 6'1" and 185lbs. I exercise. I have never smoked. I'm also diabetic.

Fuck you with your sanctimonious shit about not giving a damn about my health.

Here’s the difference - you are free to quarantine yourself - no one is forcing you to stop.

But how long you going to keep it up? Is there some point when it’s safe to stop quarantining?

Do we all have to quarantine forever?

That is not how this works. First of all. It isn't about only a small percentage of the population possibly dying. People of all ages are dying and the survivors are often completely disabled for life. Second of all, how many times do people have to tell you that we need sufficient community testing to reduce r0 below 1.0? When we have the community testing in place and we have enough PPE out there for everybody, then we can probably go a long way towards reopening things back up. Without the community testing, you are just going to realize the worst case fatalities and crash the economy anyway like fucking retards.

Critical care survivors are often walking away with permanently destroyed lungs, kidneys, hearts, and even brains. It destroys organs.

You’re never going to get R0 < 0 without heard immunity - sorry man - you’re nutz.

LOL we already did it in several places using the isolation measures you hate so much.

We just need to buy time to get a drug treatment so all those people won't die and our economy won't crash for real. That is what this dingbat conservative plan is going to do. You are going to crash the economy for real.

Population levels, and area, state them, and where they were. Then compare it to states such as Mass, NY, etc... and you'll see you are living a pipe dream while the rest of us don't have the option to sit on our asses collecting checks for the rest of our lives.

It's herd immunity. As in groups of animals.
It's an rO < 1 not < 0.
Apart from that, your post is shockingly ignorant.

From two weeks ago..

Not every state on there is has it below 1.0 because of social isolation measures, but the glaringly obvious example would be New York.


Interesting note in the article:

Systrom adds this: “It’s clear that all non-lockdown states cluster on the right-hand side. While we cannot be sure the true Rt value is that high, this graph should give any policymaker in a non-lockdown state pause.” (The non-lockdown states are the red bars in the chart above.)

I think Florida is going to be a good test of the hypothesis in the coming weeks..


The blogger had a good point about us not really have a good idea which isolation measures are most effective and which are more theater than anything else. I'd argue filling in skate parks and arresting people watching a sunset are not terribly effective at anything except giving ammunition to morons who want to pretend like the virus is a hoax. We shall see..
