Viruses DGAF about lifestyle or govt style. It's health care + pandemic preparation policies that governs the outcome of how it spreads.

um, ok that is only half true at best.

do i really have to explain how the population density would change how infectious something is in an area?
or how genitic diversity could slow the spred of something like this?
how about how nearly half of the US is mostly smaller comunities?
how most people get around with their own car rather then public transport?

i'm also sure that the climate is also vastly diffrent.

at the base of it all what can a normal person do about this anyways that they shouldn't be doing anyways?

because it seems to me that basic disaster prep would go a very long way to deal with this.

course now it's to late to be doing basic disaster prep for this thing.

You do realize that most of the population of the us lives in higher density areas

And are hubs to international travel?

And that most cases now are spread via people nothing to do with china now?

i'm sure plenty do, how does that density compair with the likes of china?

@Roof Korean and they usally vote dem so....

@SilverKestral shut up boomer

Its funny hoe you bring up china

When many cases of people dying also come out of villages

I still want the answer to "what should common people be doing that they wouldn't otherwise be doing"

@Roof Korean thats zoomer to you

there is nothing they can do

Other than not panic and stop swallowing the medias dick

most people probably will get the virus at this point

containment is impossible now

ok so if "there is nothing the common person can do" is the answer then it's not worth even talking about this stuff.

Theres nothing the average person can do about the large corrupted military spending

We shouldnt discuss it

Look at me bois the peak of intellect

uh that's not the same as an active disaster.

Im so different because im jaded

Im not like the other eboys

There's one confirmed case in my county.

Theres 7k and climbing mine

Oh county

@SilverKestral that you know of

@honkhonk yep

do the death counts say how meany of the deaths also were likely to die soon form something else?

We have 5 cases relatively close to my home

info like how meany people who wer in the peak of health before they got this thing and then dropped dead?

that would be much more usefull info.

@ARockRaider unsure but china themselves came out a month ago saying 80% were uncritical cases

Meaning that 20% is their official critical rate

no one with any brain cells really believes anything china has said

the numbers are likely much higher than reported

Then we have reports of italy saying 50% are critical
