Why is this so complex.
because China successfully slowed the spread (narrator: through mass quarantine) and it's barely spreading in America (narrator: we're still not testing for it) so anyone that was concerned about this is currently an idiot.

But it probably won't happen. And this ain't it. AI synthesized a fucking vaccine for this strand in a week's time.

From what I've heard, this Wrencher guy has really helped turn Anderson's robotics program from a massively underachieving pile of shit to something that will maybe be representative of the talent at the school. So I'm betting there's more to it than this innocuous joke.

Well, as a Gen-Xer, I ain't so good with the maths myself.
In your defense, the study in OP claims millenials are as young as 20 today which doesn't jibe with google... '96 is apparently widely accepted as the last birth year for millenials.

1) that doesn't shock me.
2) I wonder if that stat is really generation-specific, or if it's more age-specific?
That is, had you polled previous generations (Gen X, Boomers, etc) at the same age, would they have performed similarly?
My hypothesis: young people are naive, stupid, and not very well-informed. As a former young person, I can vouch for this hypothesis. I may have been slightly more financially literate than most, but I wasn't super savvy in my early 20s.
Young people? Early 20s? I think Gen Z starts in 1995 so millenials are barely clinging to the early 20s and many are pushing 40.
I'm an elder millenial myself and most millenials i meet are just stupid fucking broke dick losers, so these results make sense to me.

Starting to think this was designed in a lab.
While I think it's possible this is man made, why does a dog getting infected make you think so?

Los Alamos reanalyzed Chinese data to estimate the initial R0 was 4.7 to 6.6 and the doubling period 2.4 days.
If we assume community spread is three people removed from person zero for a given cluster of cases with an R0 of 4 that means 64 people might be infected.
It takes 4.5 days on average before symptoms and the average person waits 5 days before being hospitalized. Intubation, when necessary, happens in 7 to 9 days after initial symptoms. So the woman in NorCal was infected over three weeks ago. During that time the number of cases have doubled 7 to 9 times. Compute 64 to the 7th or 9th power to get an estimate the current number of infected in that cluster alone.
64*2^7 to 64*2^9 = 8,192 to 32,768

This is the most rational post in this shit show of a freak out thread.
This makes sense coming from the cloak room guy that has repeatedly said humans should go extinct or at least be culled.

Just checked Amazon. Still available
I guess, but you're down to small quantities at jacked up prices from non-prime shipping sellers. By amazon standards, they are sold out.

Even if they do, a bed and antibiotics don't treat viral pneumonia.
Once the, as we've realized, very limited number of ventilators are taken, anyone with severe form of this is in serious shit. Several high profile 30-something doctors in China have died. Maybe they were exposed to high concentrations of the virus treating the sick, but seriously fuck the selfish people that want to downplay this.

Thought this was an interesting read. Falls in line with what my sister in law, an internist, has been telling us. Much ado about nothing, other than it spreads easily.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/world/asia/coronavirus-treament-recovery.htmlDid you just get here?
If you have elderly friends or parents, especially if they smoked or have other underlying health issues, this is a very big deal. The way this spreads and requires ventilators for so many of those infected means it could easily overwhelm our medical system. People that would not have died from a flu are going to die from this. Don't be a dumbass that's part of the problem, heed the CDC's warnings.

What about parents that constantly get damn colds from their kids? Asking for a friend.
Assuming you're not a smoker, I like our chances.

So that nytimes corona virus goes global podcast was pretty interesting.
Too long didnt listen: most kids will not get severe form of this because kids are trading similar corona viruses all the time. Most "colds" are corona viruses. The older you are and the more your natural immunity to those childhood viruses has waned, and the more compromised your lungs are (smokers), the more likely you are to have a severe case you can't recover from.
Prepare your angus to stay home for a month. The US can't handle this because we dont have enough ventilators.

Actually, you don't see the problem. Nobody here is saying we can fully contain it.
Using your example, if we could quarantine 90% of the people coming in to the US with the virus, that would be fucking awesome. Absolutely fucking awesome. Because, we will have a much better chance of providing the needed care for the cases that result from the 10% that slipped in.
I really don't think you comprehend what 5,000 hospital beds in Austin or 20,000 beds in Houston means. Maybe one of the Surly med professionals can help - @ChiTownDoc or somebody can inform you, but most of those beds are not empty most of the time.
I also don't think you comprehend what a 10-20% hospitalization rate means, and I really don't think you comprehend how intensive this care is - this isn't the flu where it kicks your ass for a few days - this is putting a good chunk of people into a very limited supply of hospital beds for 2-3 weeks, and they are having to be treated by medical professionals in PPE gear.
And I wonder how much PPE hospitals have on hand, when the Health and Human Services Secretary is saying they only have 30 million masks and need 300 million more.
This, so much this. Anything we can do to slow the spread is good. Now is not the time for arrogance.

It’s hard to imagine it getting to apocalyptic levels like you and others on here predict. For example I’d be shocked if it isn’t currently being transmitted openly across the US. I wouldn’t even be surprised if I have been exposed to it already.
Huh? For weeks now, people simply being tested for coronavirus has made national headlines... By now everyone that gets the flu is suspected of having covid, but you think Americans are openly spreading it and no one is getting to the pneumonia phase, which is like day 8-9?

Must be Inovio. They're projecting human clinical trials in April, results in the fall, and 1 million doses produced by end of 2020 for further trials and emergency use.
