just because it works, doesnt mean you should do it

(bc if mutation, it is more ducked)

That's like asking people to die maybe for something that might happen

*fucked

I am somewhat impressed by the "UK strategy"

just because it works........

The NHS isn't going to be able to handle that many cases at one time. Also we still have no idea what this virus does to you long-term.

fucked if you do and fucked if you don't

@Captain Conundrum but some idea of some permanent damage, right?

lung damage?

> During the third phase, lung damage continues to build—which can result in respiratory failure. Even if death doesn’t occur, some patients survive with permanent lung damage. According to the WHO, SARS punched holes in the lungs, giving them “a honeycomb-like appearance”—and these lesions are present in those afflicted by novel coronavirus, too.

Yeah the lung damage sounds bad. What's ironic is that the mortality stats show old people getting killed by this, but there's a chance it actually takes more years off the life of younger people.

Yeah, respiratory issues kill a lot of old people as is even without something as specific as coronavirus.

Of course permanent damage is probably only an issue in the more severely affected.

Hard to know, really. At the moment none of that matters. All anyone needs to know is you really don't want to get this.

Yep.

Talked to my boss, he was all on board with doing minimal customer visits now. Doing courtesy calls and visiting people I don't need to is a bad idea with the issue in my area now.

Did you say drink some hand sanitizer and go back to sleep?
