You are being calm and irrational. This triggered a global recession. Hundreds of millions of people are effected economically and otherwise. Yet you callously shrug.

I was watching the belgian news today and there was a doctor who said that they are actuallu surprised by the amount of young people who need to be hospitalized. I read another day that in Netherlands and Spain half of people in intensive care are under 50..
I saw a breakdown of the stats somewhere today in all I was reading, and it surprised me that the middle-age bracket had bigger numbers.... I'll look for it again and post it here.
So I found the place again. It is a gross enumeration of new cases, day by day, sorted by age in decadal groups. The 40s, 50s, and 60s are the larger numbers, but that's also the larger groups numerically to begin with, the working, mobile peeps....
There's some folks out there arguing the final mortality rate will be 3% overall.....
Looks me like an illness that runs its course in 3 wks whichever way it goes, and that less than 10% are serious illnesses, and that less than 10% of the serious cases will be fatal. It looks like a mean start to death time is 14 days. If it hits hard it gets you quick.
So far, doctors have not used antibiotics on the serious pneumonia cases that produce death via secondary infections. Dumbass Doctors still just using oxygen and hoping your immune system clears everything.
Damn sure we can do better. Gonna write Trump.

A startling new report from Imperial College London warns that 2.2 million Americans and 510,000 Britons could die from coronavirus if extreme action isn't taken to change the course of the outbreak.
Why it matters: The report's dire warnings prompted a quick course correction from both the American and British governments on their strategies, but its strict recommendations and long timeline — 18 months — to stem the tide could have far-reaching implications for both populations and economies.
What they found: The report states the effectiveness of "mitigation," which includes isolating only the sick and those linked to them while advocating social distancing for at-risk groups, is limited. It instead recommends "suppression," a much more wide-ranging tactic to curb coronavirus' spread.
The state of play: The findings caused a messaging shift on both sides of the Atlantic.
"How populations and societies will respond remains unclear," it concludes.
A startling new report from Imperial College London warns that 2.2 million Americans and 510,000 Britons could die from coronavirus if extreme action isn't taken to change the course of the outbreak.
Why it matters: The report's dire warnings prompted a quick course correction from both the American and British governments on their strategies, but its strict recommendations and long timeline — 18 months — to stem the tide could have far-reaching implications for both populations and economies.
What they found: The report states the effectiveness of "mitigation," which includes isolating only the sick and those linked to them while advocating social distancing for at-risk groups, is limited. It instead recommends "suppression," a much more wide-ranging tactic to curb coronavirus' spread.
- The researchers say that suppression "will minimally require a combination of social distancing of the entire population, home isolation of cases and household quarantine of their family members." It also recommends school closures.
- The report notes that this strategy could have to be in place until a vaccine is developed, which could take 18 months — saying it is "the only viable strategy at the current time."
The state of play: The findings caused a messaging shift on both sides of the Atlantic.
- While President Trump had previously brushed off coronavirus concerns and compared it to a winter flu, the White House advised people on Monday to avoid gatherings of 10 or more, stop non-essential travel and avoid bars and restaurants.
- The U.K. previously allowed its citizens to go about the world more or less as normal, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson walked some of that back this week — admitting that the country was only days behind Italy's outbreak and instituting more strict recommendations for at-risk populations. But it still eschewed lockdowns and closures like those being implemented around the world.
- The BBC called the report the "crucial piece of evidence" that spurred Downing Street to act, saying the researchers "first realized the scale of the problem in China" and noting their "advice is heavily influential in government."
"How populations and societies will respond remains unclear," it concludes.

between a rock and a hard place really, could loan him some money unsecured with no expectation of getting it back anytime soon, or I could buy into his business but I hate his business partners and they hate me.
