The 2 week latency period is about to cause health Armageddon.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8112063/America-braces-coronvirus-collapse-100-00-ICU-beds-10-MILLION-hospitalized.html

quote:

America's hospitals will be overrun with coronavirus patients in just eight days and face months of strain, according to Obama's former Medicare boss. Andy Slavitt, former Acting Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, issued the dire warning on Twitter on Saturday along with a string of advice for the public, governments and health workers. 'Last night I was on with state & local officials around the US well into the night. 'By March 23 many of our largest cities & hospitals are on course to be overrun with cases,' he wrote.


I don’t know if any of this shite is true. But if it is, there will be a lot of people eating crow.

So you flat out admit you have no idea if it is true or not, but post it anyway. Thanks.

You are infected. Just don’t know it yet baw.


ETA: I actually hope this is true. It means the “flattening of the curve” measures are bullshite, and life can go back to normal if 500k have it already and its caused so little deaths

Then the death rate must be extremely low. Which is a good thing.

If that’s true, and I’m not saying it is, then I’m fricked.

Just so everyone knows. Daily mail UK is a tabloid site. I wouldn't trust anything on their site.

It sounds like this thing is morphing and becoming more virulent.

Most experts are dumbasses that spout off whatever helps them make the most grant money.

If I’m already infected I wholeheartedly embrace my mild cough.

If we accept that, where are the bodies? With that number and a supposed 3% mortality, we should see 15,000 dead. Certainly more than the 50 we have had die to this point.

Gotta counteract that 2000 point stock market rebound somehow.

How dare you try to be optimistic. That’s not how this works.

Unfortunately the human race is getting weaker as viruses are getting stronger so you have a point.
