you can tell this is bad because the infamous 'flatten the curve' has unlabeled axes. no one has any clue how bad this is going to get, and they don't want to commit to a 'best-case' number, lest we get the best case, and it's still terrible.

Congress needs to shut down and set up for remote legislating. I was in there today and man that place is a petri dish. I practically bathed in sanitizer after leaving.

@mitchellvii Wake up and stop sticking your heads in the sand. Stay home as much as possible and stop complaining about minor inconveniences. This is serious and if everyone treats it as such, we'll all be better off

@mitchellvii Are none of you people watching what is happening in Italy? They are triaging patients and being forced to decide who lives and who dies. If it gets out of hand, WuFlu victims wont be the only dead. We'll also have heart patients, transplant patients and others who cant get care

[Hodling Spock @SpocksBrains]

@Mino942112 @benmezrich Politics? Yes, we isolate those over 70 to prevent infection. I told my parents to stay home as much as possible. But in order to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed, we need to take proactive and painful steps. Pls look at Italy right now. Its a disaster we dont want

[Hodling Spock @SpocksBrains]

@samuelpuppala @MattWalshBlog Or I'll put it this way. A hospital that is overrun with WuFlu patients would not the be the place I would want to go if I had an emergency like a burst appendix. I might have to wait some time to see a non-quarantined Dr

[Hodling Spock @SpocksBrains]

@samuelpuppala @MattWalshBlog rationed care. Its what is happening right now in Italy. Older patients who are less likely to survive treatment are denied treatment in favor of those who have a greater chance. Its called triage and its not something we want to have to deal with.

I was very skeptical of the coronavirus at first. I've seen the media hype up many supposed pandemics and disasters that fizzled out. Thought this was another one. But the point of the Boy Who Cried Wolf story is that the wolf really shows up one day. I think the wolf is here.

Given the warnings today from Dr. Fauci and Dr. Gottlieb, how can ANY professional sport, in any city, continue to hold events with fans?

The same holds for the NCAA at every level of competition - including March Madness.

This is why I support #staythefuckhome.

@MarkYusko Overwhelmed hospitals.

As China enacted stricter quarantines and built new hospitals, it tapered off.

Compare to Italy where they are short ICU beds, being forced to choose who to lives and who dies.

@HRHQueenDaisy @mitchellvii Now if you do those numbers x10, you'll get an idea of what COVID might do in the coming months. It will overwhelm our health system and lead to those other numbers going up too. We need to start to #bendthecurve

[Hodling Spock @SpocksBrains]

@dmalden @mitchellvii What would you say if I told you that by the end of the year, COVID-19 very well might top that list? Is it still "just the flu"? The complacency is what's making me panic, not the markets or the virus

[Hodling Spock @SpocksBrains]

@MrHodl @jeffrey94787164 @mitchellvii No, but why would they give them to us? In the event of a global pandemic, nations horde medical equipment and supplies. They didnt fuck up the original test like the CDC did, so they had supply. We had to scrap what was made and redo. Time lost = rationing

[Hodling Spock @SpocksBrains]

@MrHodl @jeffrey94787164 @mitchellvii Because unlike the flu, this is novel and we dont have decades of science and knowledge at our disposal, so developing quick and accurate tests is a difficult and time consuming task. That leads to rationing, so only acute cases get tested currently

@mitchellvii If you have a pond with one lilly pad, and the the pads double everyday, and it takes 45 days to cover the entire pond, how many days does it take to cover half the pond? Answer: 44. At day 40, you'd barely notice the pads, then BOOM
