D&D and the rising pandemic

[Doug McCrae]

I dread to think what's going to happen in countries that don't adopt these measures. As @NotAYakk says, the best evidence right now is telling us that many millions will die.

UK gave up on the herd plan.

We just cut 80% of flights to Australia, benefits going up $25 dollars, wage subsidies of $500+ per week.

Thats sad. Im sad.

Maybe you could use it as time to prepare a couple of extra fantastic side adventures so that when your group gets back together you come back guns blazing. With a bang right out of the gate.

I hate seeing good things end...

Some interesting insight on the differences between Italy & S. Korea, and how those differences may impact the results of their efforts.

For now it is partly because of vast differences in the affected patients -- young vs. old, smokers vs. not, writes MD and infection specialist Kent Sepkowitz. Soon it also will be due to another reason.

Also...

Hope it works for long enough! Regardless, nice out of the box thinking.

Since I estimate from their death clustering that they have about 47000 undocumented cases, that's probably for the best.

The USA is in about the same shape, but at least we are bigger and can absorb that. But exponential growth no matter how much people see it always surprises human intuition. There are a few US communities that are going to be shocked by how quickly the situation evolves.

Interesting. I remember being told in the 90s women have a better chance of surviving extreme situations. The nurse wasn't to sure if it was genetic or lifestyle though.

Yup be interesting in a week.

Just watched an epidemiologist say that over the long term the whole population will get exposed. Then it will become another childhood disease like measles or chickenpox. Just need to slow it down enough to prevent a health system collapse to minimize the scale of deaths. Treatments are coming and a vaccine in 18 months.
