The shyt that worries me is if this shyt spread in DRC. They were already hit badly by measles that killed more people than ebola not long ago60,000 people infected
Remember people, it won't be at peak exposure for another 2 weeks...
Measles claims more than twice as many lives than Ebola in DR Congo
Just thought of something, this only like week 2 or 3 of the quarantine......
Yet there's a good chance this shyt won't be over for another 2 months

Yeah, I liked the movie.
I asked about his certain number and threw a few figures at him. I eventually ended the talk abruptly because it was clear to me his certain number would be disgusting highly.

I'm apart of one of those "essential industries" so I'm not unemployed or hurting for work but I stilltook the two weeks paid leave to flatten the curve.
Be safe out here brehs.
Seeing a million as the number of people applying for unemployment
I'm just glad knowing that when these
two weeks are up I'll have a job to come back too.
a breh is lucky Italy 10% mortality rate
Spain 7%
Iran 7%
France 5%
Uk 5%
These are some unbelievably high numbers for developed nations. I feel it for countries on the lower end of the spectrum, this thing is going to rip through them like crazy.
those bodybuilding forums are safe havens for MRA's and incelsdudes on the bodybuilding forum downplaying this
Saying this is all a set up to make trump look bad
How far is their head up their asses to believe that
The mortality rate is not accurate, there’s many who don’t have symptoms or do that don’t get tested.
Also Italy is only testing people who are critical.

AN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
While the coronavirus may be driving us to drink, there’s a more pressing issue: washing our hands.
Now, one of the world’s largest rum factories, the Bacardi plant in Puerto Rico, has tweaked its production lines to pump out ethanol needed to make hand sanitizers.
Olein Refinery, a Puerto Rican manufacturer, is using the Bacardi alcohol to produce more than 1.7 million 10-ounce bottles of hand sanitizer, much of which is being given to police, nurses, non-profits and others on the frontlines of the coronavirus.
Jose Class, the vice president of supply chain and manufacturing for Bacardi in Latin America and the Caribbean, said that, to his knowledge, this production shift is unprecedented since the Puerto Rican branch of the company was founded in 1936.
“I don’t think we even did something like this during World War II,” he said.
The sprawling, 127-acre complex in Cataño, on the northern coast, produces 80 percent of Bacardi’s rum, or the equivalent of 200 million bottles a year, and employs about 400 people.

Other Bacardi sites are following suit. The Bacardi Bottling Corporation in North Jacksonville, Florida, will begin producing 120,000 units of hand sanitizers this week, all of which will be donated. And eight other plants in six countries are expected to join the effort.
While the Puerto Rican plant has never had to deal with a pandemic before, it has seen its share of business adversity on the battered island, Class said..
After Hurricanes Maria and Irma raked the island, along with other parts of the Caribbean and Florida, in 2017, the company put $3 million into relief efforts.
While there are parallels between this health crisis and the hurricanes, which produced widespread infrastructure collapse, there are also key differences, Class said.
“What the community needed [after Maria] was different. Then, they needed food, water, a little bit of joy,” he said. Now what the island needs are ways to stay clean and disinfected amid a rapidly moving and contagious virus.

The temporary production shift began March 17 and will continue as long as needed — and it won’t affect rum production, the company said.

The initiative comes as Puerto Rico is entering a second week of lockdown and curfew in hopes of curtailing the spread of the virus. As of Tuesday, the U.S. territory of 3.2 million had reported 39 cases and two deaths.
As the U.S. government has acknowledged that the health crisis could leave hospitals overrun, it’s been asking the private sector to play a bigger role. On Sunday, President Donald Trump said he’d given Ford, GM and Tesla the go-ahead to retrofit their production lines to churn out hospital ventilators.
Class said this crisis is one where everyone gets to be part of the solution.
“We have ways to fight this. Just the simple act of washing your hands and being careful about your social interactions helps,” he said. ”We need to overcome this as soon as possible so we can start celebrating again.”

has he been held accountable for Puerto Rico?
The ICU beds in Atlanta are already at capacity.....
hospitalization rates are a shyt metric if you're turning people away and not testing them
speaking from a NY case I personally know of
