It's a bitchton of infectivity and unknown mutation capacity. Also the fact we'd rather not introduce a new bullet into the life's revolver chamber while we're playing russian roulette with it :p
as for mutation... uhm... yeah its a corona virus, those dont mutate as heavily or unpredictably as other RNA viruses. It is a concern for sure, but so is the mutation of the flu or even the common cold.
everything *could* mutate into something far more dangerous.
Yeah. Epidemic policies have been in place in most developed countries
I take you think we should open everything up virus be damned? regardless how many die?
They just lost their shit lol
now, yes, "essential" industries are still working. Thing is, those have dependencies. If a farmer cant get his tractor repaired or replaced becouse no motors are produced, youll see the consequences of that by fall.
Sure but you'll have ppl alive then to try and mitigate
why would the farmers produce goods if their money cannot buy anything worth having.
Why are they producing at all considering how shit it pays to begin with
Look, 'muricans are used to their 30 % diabetes death rate due to not being able to afford insulin, 5 % corona is a virgin compared to that <:smugon:512048583806025739>
@svarozhyc I have read that many Coronaviruses don't tend to mutate as fast as other viruses because they have an error checking gene that makes sure the host cell is doing a good job of making copies. IDK if that is true at all, or true for this virus.
Tru xav lol
yeah
it's unknown i'd say 😛 coronaviruses tend not to be very mutable but then define very lol how much risk you wanna afford basically but still you don't know what the risk actually is. There's like 5 known strains atm but they're not necessarily different strains 😛
Plus, less likely to mutate does not mean it won't mutate.
not as much as other RNA viruses at least. @[NWFLT]Leonidas Ceasar see M. R. Denison, R. L. Graham, E. F. Donaldson, L. D. Eckerle, R. S.

yep it's gambling with a blindfold with unknown stakes really
the thing is, people make the same gamble with the flu. Now, the flu is serious enough for me to isolate for its duration + 2 weeks, definantely not ennough for a shutdown...
you don't have elections to win in the future tho hehe they have to take into consideration what people want them to do <:disgusteng:595338918044500041>
true.
```the year is 2250, and the Earth has been united under the British Empire ruled by Queen Elizabeth the second. The queen sits in her throne room which lies in the megacity of Londonium, population 100 million, being kept alive by a combination of cybernetics and what can only be described as divine intervention. Mars has been colonised into a desert world and is ruled by the British Intra-Solar Company, the population being made up of convicts who work on tea plantations around the planets few lush regions. On April 3rd the first colony ships leave the solar system to colonise a distant world, dubbed 'Corona' after the plague of the 21st century which ultimately lead to the revitalisation of the queen's dominion. The world is believed to be home to native alien life, of which little is known; the royal stellar navy grows larger every day as the possibility of there existing hostile aliens not willing to bow to the queen will not be tolerated.

Thanks for that paper@Redneo Very interesting.
if thers gonna be an election in 2020... may not be the greatest idea, espacialy as older people aka people at risk are more likelly to vote generallly speaking
there's a massive deal in poland there were supposed to be pres elections in may
That's a future I wouldn't mind happening
peak quarantine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cr4iNrVfyM
@[NWFLT]Leonidas Ceasar and heres the paper that the UK and US seem to orient themselves on atm in terms of response. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf
or for taking in the information verbally, a video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbQ3oLvvecM
It's Finally Harvesting Season
@svarozhyc Well now I wish we could actually talk to sargoy without having to pay. I would love to familiarize him with the czech urban legend about that one communist lotr review <:smugon:512048583806025739>
yeah sometimes he says something about """eastern""" europe or something we've already done and you just wanna have a pint and spin a yarn on his ears
*oof*
Goddamn uneducated german
Also that review is specific in the way that we know the text, people remember reading it, we even know what newspaper it was, but nobody can find the original <:Veemote:501103628883591188>
@svarozhyc holy shit, you have it too!
Lol
Well, more like your version
