It's official, this virus is #$@&!


just saw this in trending, thought I'd might make a thread about this since there's no talks about it other than the challenges here and there.

thoughts? please be respectful...

Its just a damn cold.
Its more severe than a cold.

And the severity of the problem isnt the disease itself (though it is actually pretty gnarly) but rather the rapidity with which the disease spreads and the medical care it requires.

For example, some estimates are saying we can expect a 40% infection rate. So...

In a town of 100,000, 40k people will get it. Given Infection/Severe case/Fatality rates, if 40k people get it, ~4,000 of those will be severe enough to require hospitalization. 400-800 of them will die.

Thats the ideal situation though.

Now, imagine those 40k people get infected in the space of a two weeks (small towns be like that). So now your hospital has to deal with 4000 cases at once. You got those beds available? The nurses? The doctors? The ventilators? Now, even in the best case, your hospital is beyond capacity. What happens when there is a car wreck? Where are those people gonna go? What happens to every other run-of-the-mill sickness and injury that normally occupy hospitals? Now we have a problem...

Yall gotta take this shit seriously. YOU might be fine. We're a mostly young population here. But your town? Your neighbors? You owe it to them to take it seriously.

Now were cooking, this thread might have some legs after all.
