Stay home. Wash your hands often and hope for the best. There isn't any way to completely seal yourself off, unless you are one of those Preppers hiding in bumfuck montana 50 miles from the nearest road.

Yep, with a lack of testing and vaccine/shot for it, social distancing is needed to stop this from spreading so fast. It's not going to stop it from spreading, but if you can slow it down, it helps.

I agree that the "all going to die" is hysterics, and I'm not sure anyone is saying that. I'm in fort Wayne and there are already 5-6 cases, one from a vendor at the home and garden show where he perhaps saw thousands of people.

By the time you double every square of the chessboard, there are a great many sick and a great many dead. I would imagine that you and I will know many of them also.

Well if they get it, they only have a 98% chance of survival. I mean, fuck, start planning the funeral and kiss them goodbye with those odds.

The coronavirus is NOT a type of flu as you tried to say earlier.

The reason they are taking such drastic measures is to try to slow the spread so it doesn't overwhelm the capabilities of the healthcare industry. The farther and faster this thing spreads past the abilities of the hospitals to treat patients, then the more at-risk patients are, because patients won't be able to get proper care or will get turned away.

This was a slide from the American Hospital Association's webinar in February to prepare hospitals for what to expect from this in the next 6-12 months in the United States in their estimation:

So if they can slow the spread and drop hospital admissions from the 4.8 million estimated in the US to say 1 million or 2 million max, then they can properly treat them and lives will be saved.

Pretty much any type of public gathering will be cancelled. The draft will be totally remote I bet. We really were not prepared for this thing and are going to have to play catch up.

I just had to go to Home Depot for toliet paper bc of all the idiots hoarding it.

The other posts were references to The Who songs as well.
