I knew you were the crazy mad virologist in China who started this! ;-)

Quote from: Edgar Allen PoeTrue! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

Certainly not! Everyone has to make a living. Let's just cognizant of what's being sold and whether or not we want to buy it.

But but ... who will protect the Deplorables from themselves!

Was in my local town center, buying a few things in shop we have here called Savers, sells most cosmetic goods at a discount. When I walked in I heard a woman coming out saying 'No toilet rolls in here either!".
I brought usual toiletries, but thought I'd pick up an extra bottle of handwash since they always have an offer on, so 3 instead of 2. When I got to the counter (was a larger line then usual) the cashier said to me 'I'm sorry, I can't sell you more then 2 bottle of handwash'. For a second my brain just tripped into saying 'Wuh?!', but then reason kicked in, and I agreed with her, and told her this was a really responsible thing they were doing. She said they've had to ration certain things like handwash, hand gel and toilet rolls (which were the first thing to sell out), but I still congratulated them on keeping things within reason.

When I got to my local sainsburys, they only had 16 packs of toilet rolls left in so snagged one just incase things were to go south.

Remember when I did my conservative math using the best case scenario and came out to 66,000 fatalities in China alone?

Given this guy is estimating a global total of 480,000 deaths over the next 3-7 or so months and estimates it could be up to 15 times worse than seasonal flu. I feel like I got that pretty bang on actually. I'm not particularly happy about that.

Now in the grand scheme, 480,000 is nothing (as morbid as that is). The real issue is that industry will grind to a halt as people are too sick or too afraid to go to work. I think the economic effects of this will be the real killer.

Swine flu in 2009/10 killed 550,000 worldwide.  Not trivial.

Its funny how idotic humans like Trump are. I mean seriously the reason viruses were defeated was because government programs like cdc, and they have less funding because they are "socialist" programs. I'll give the virus a month or two before affected billions and see what the dumbass says then, but by then we will be doomed anyhow.

Thanks to re-infection it's gonna be the next additional virus to the seasonal flu.

Therefore it is important you get it, and not die from it.  And get the seasonal flu shot next Fall.

"Merkel Expects 60-70% Of Germans To Be Infected With Coronavirus" ... realistic.  German parliament listened silent and slack-jawed.  So basically like Swine Flu of 10 years ago, only more deadly, particularly for seniors.  Will Germany shut down the whole country, like Italy?

Meanwhile GB Health Secretary has coronavirus.

The last I read was from an American Health Organization.  I won't bother looking it up, because I can't remember what the source was, but it said that it was too early to tell what infection rates or deaths from infections would be.  It didn't play it down, but it didn't play it up.  This of course came through the media, which is the way everything comes down to us, but I watch countries like Italy and wonder, "Are they using draconian methods or are we Americans just  heads in the sand, until we find ourselves in a panic?"  The stock market is in a panic, but that tells us nothing.  The stock market panics  regularly.  Trump?  Well, you just ignore him whether he's in a panic, or just happens to be euphoric over being president at the moment.  I haven't noticed anyone stock piling.  Eventually, you still have to go out and buy stuff, and when the pandemic is over, there's still going to be people out there carrying it around.
