I don't really think that IS what happend, but would it surprise you it it came out that it was?

form the country that shuts off the internet on a day where said country killed a bunch of protesters?

how nice would it be for such a country to have a smoke screen for why they are rounding up all the protesters out and about?

might be, might not be, but this is as usefull a line of conversation as any other about this thing.

Wouldnt surprise me but with how botched this is and how devastating it could be to the CCP its unlikely

unless they intentionaly botched this? you think that might have been the case?

They arent japanese

Why would they kamikaze

Das raycis bruh

because it's not kamikaze for the leaders, they are more then safe with all of the medical help the world has to offer.

and i'm sure these leaders don't care about their people, the people are just numbers on a graph or livestock to these leaders.

What the common person can do is have prepared 1.5 months ago in terms of provisions to last 2 months of quarantine. To all advocate for work from home if at all possible based on their jobs. We'll all take a hit economically, but it is better to bite the bullet now to stave off a worse condition later on. We need to flatten out the infection curve to not swamp our medical system and buy time.

see, now that all sounds like good advice TGA

Pretty much because if 20% of cases are critical

Due to logistics the death toll will rise

If infections keep rising

this isn't plague inc, infections don't mean people are gonna die from this thing.

This isnt a game

Which is why resources are scarce

when you say "cases are critical" are you talking about people who have the thing are critical form this thing?

How many nurses, oxygen and beds do you likely have to accomadate if this reaches even higher numbers?

Critical cases are usually the ones with pneumonia

if so is there any info on what other problems do those people have other then this?

In which you need oxygen

It also has long term effects such as fucking your liver

And your immune system

It's more than just dying from this infection, but the aftershocks w/a swamped medical system. While the hospital is running on 200% capacity (ala Italy), they're already triaging treatments. Meaning those who could have been saved on the severe end are let go because of limited resources.

On top of that there are other conditions that requires hospitalization, ranging from chemo treatments to strokes and car/work place accidents. These victims/patients will have no beds available to them because all capacity is consumed by corona. The deaths will spiral into other health crisis events.

so something like "otherwise healthy people should just stay home" would be about right yah?

unless you have something else going on (pneumonia for example) you shouldn't worry about it?

Not to mention secondary deaths due to reactions to the virus

Such as fighting for tp

Or any other preexisting conditions. Even if you're perfectly healthy, there's no reason to get infected voluntarily for 2 reasons.
1) Passing it onto someone who could die
2) +1 to mutation chance by volunteering yourself as a vector. No reason to increase mutation changes to creating a deadlier strain in your body

ok that's fine

but we are still talking about things that the time for acting on them are all long past.

right now the only thing people can do is not over burden the medical systems

The time to act was the first month

But communists fucked everyone

as they always do

Yes and the responsible thing for govt is institute a state of emergency. Be mature and upfront w/the American public. Something as simple as this;
"Dear fellow Americans. We are at the eve of a great battle against an enemy we cannot see. This not like any war that can be won with bullets and bombs. For the first time, this is a war that everyday Americans like you, can contribute to the front lines. While our health care workers are risking their lives attending to our sick and infected. We as a nation, need you all, from business owners to hourly wager earners. To work together in combating this grave threat to our nation.

I will be working with Congress to see to it that aid is provided to relieve families and businesses that will be impacted by this quarantine. The nation is calling upon you now to help us in this endeavor. Please remain in your homes so that this storm too, shall pass. This great nation has faced many threats, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to 9/11. I have confidence in you all that we will come out of this stronger, but it requires us all to act accordingly. "

and then lay out the steps.
Done.
Instead, NOTHIGN TO SEE HERE, JUST FLU

This was Yangs plan all along

that would have worked if people had stockpiles for just such disasters, but no one anywhere really does.
