OK, so I'm questioning the quarantine request...
- People remain at home.
- Those who are carriers can't spread the virus to other people.
- Those who don't have it can't get it.
- In total isolation with 100% follow-through rate, it would only take 14-28 days for the problem to subside completely.
- Seeing as how that is not a viable alternative, I think 60 days of fairly stringent quarantine measures is reasonable. People do have to go out to get food and supplies, and people do have to be present at workplaces to deliver them.
- Everybody else whose employment is deemed non-essential will suffer financially.
- A relatively large amount of people are going to die from inadequate medical care.
This is the best case scenario.
Do you disagree with any of these premises or conclusions?
- Not a bad idea. For safety sake just in case this is not a total shitshow.
Do you know anyone personally, to have died from COV19? Does anybody know? (talked to my French buddy yesterday, he knew one 70 year old)
- Yes. How about the carriers before this thing went MSM viral? Or after this outbreak has settled.
- Yes and no. Those who don't have it, will eventually get it. This year or the next.
- Yes and no. Define
completely.- Better make that for the rest of the year, just to make sure that we're all safe.
- Definitely yes. Just because.
- Unfortunately yes. It is a shit world that we live in.
My thesis is that we all (most of us anyway) have COV already. And if we don't have it, we will definitely get it. Maybe not the latest mutated strain, but what ever.
This is how pandemics work imo.
Looks like we mostly agree.
Call me crazy, but tell me why we can't get rid of the regular flu for like decades.
I saw some stats a couple days ago from a Canadian news publication. Of ~180,000 tested, ~5500 were positive (~60 deaths). The prerequisites for getting a test are severely skewed in favour of those already infected or exposed to someone infected.
