I noticed our homie @DIO Brando that has covid-19 hasn’t posted in over 24 hours. I’m sure he’s resting instead of posting. But when you see this DIO, how you feeling breh? You hanging in there? Sending well wishes!

I’m good. Thanks for asking.

Much better today.

Pissed because I’m seeing people out and about in bars, clubs, beaches like shyt is sweet. Could’ve all been prevented.

Close but no cigar. You are exactly right to say the US is no Italy. But I believe your uniformed superiority is kicking in. Italy has much better health car system in place. In 2008 it was ranked 2nd best in the world to handle a pandemic. The US wasn't in the top ten.

That’s was 12 years ago, I was just reading articles last night on why it’s so bad in Italy and lack of sufficient investment in the health care system was one of the reasons.

When I heard about Britain’s ‘herd immunity’ coronavirus plan, I thought it was satire, writes Dr William Hanage, a professor of the evolution and epidemiology of infectious disease at Harvard.

The most fundamental function of a government is to keep its people safe. It is from this that it derives its authority, the confidence of the people and its legitimacy.

Nobody should be under the illusion that this is something that can be dodged through somehow manipulating a virus that we are only beginning to understand. This will not pass you by; this is not a tornado, it is a hurricane.

Like the money senator Collins single handedly blocked for pandemic response? You say this as if the US has invested in it's own health car system in the last decade.

I work in NYC. There are 5G towers everywhere. I'm guessing the telecoms are prepared to turn them up and fry everyone. Anyone old or with compromised immune system will be toast. They know this.

This comment is almost certain to get me banned. Just remember I always tell the truth. If you know anyone who lives with a tower on their roof, please tell them to leave immediately. NYC has them on almost every low rise roof top.

I guess a global pandemic is just not exciting enough for some people.

Another person got it in my area but is in quarantine

Something like 10% of cases require hospitalization. Do some napkin math and please dont downplay this to people you know. Just keep your mouth shut

When do you think a potential lockdown of the country might happen? In two weeks from now?

That’s my thought. I think we’ll see a big surge in one week and then a government reaction to it a week later. Maybe sooner but I’m not hopeful

Do the math breh.

each person infects a bare minimum of 3 other people. It could be as high as 6 but let’s assume it’s 3. So what’s 2300 times 3? What’s that number times 3?

and keep in mind the real number is much higher. there’s only 2300 cases that we know of...because we’ve done less testing and social distancing than any industrialized nation.

Most of the people that have it here A: have not been tested and B: aren’t showing symptoms yet but are still contagious.

give it a week.

Supreme irony

all european immigrants to africa throughout history have gone there without approval and overstayed.

By next weekend, we probably be forced to stay indoors.

I’m curious to see by what legal mechanisms they’ll apply that here. And for the record I think we should be doing it now and not waiting for next weekend. My epidemiologist friend said that going outside as of right now for a human interaction is like playing Russian roulette, and to try to play Russian roulette as little as possible right now.

But how do they do it? Curfews set by state governments? Marshal Law by federal government?

I think due to the nature of the U.S. and our culture that it *could* be more difficult to force people to stay inside.

This. The actual number of cases is probably far higher. Also I've been hearing a lot of cases of people having the symptoms but cannot get tested when going to the hospital. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a number of people who've died from complications associated with virus already. Without adequate testing there is really no way of knowing.
I think the administration is trying to keep the number of cases artificially low. We should all operate under the assumption that there is a large number of people walking around with virus but dont even know it.

this is why i chose to self quarantine, I trust that people will be bull-headed, ignorant and negligent which will assist this virus in spreading further. when i finally left home after 9 days to go to the market i only saw 2 other people wearing gloves and masks. theres no telling the number of people who touched those shopping cart handles and then touch their face especially kids.
