COVID-19 Discussion

[Remy]

Now that things are getting a lil brazy I wanna know everyone thinks.

In California all stores other than necessity stores (grocery stores, pharmacies) are required to be shut down meaning people are pretty much only going outside for groceries. Grocery stores are selling out within the first 20 minutes of being open and the only way you get anything is if you stand in like an hour before they open.

 

Do you think it will get worse?

Is it overhyped?

How are things where you live?

[Finn-]

just a flue stop cry

[Jensen]

prepare for italy x100

[WrecklessFame]

The UK still hasnt done anything and im mad

[Luke]

I don't have enough food for this nonsense

shit sucks

quarantine at home is kinda nice though 

[Cxdy]

Overhyped cos media has to get them clicks. Only a few cases where I live, still single digit.

pretty fucking annoyed to be honest. 

[Rainz]

everything in sea is shut down until the 25th as of rn 😮

[Proccy]

think you only have to look at the numbers in Italy to see how bad things can get

[Utc]

Hopefully it doesnt get worse here in Finland. 

 

Stores are sold out of food and shit which is pretty bad

[dan]

It'll get worse, spreading more than any recent virus but only deadly to elderly and people with underlying issues, most of us should be fine, should prepare a bit if we have to isolate, time to max our accounts

[Union]

Not as bad here, although i see it going that way soon. Im working from home and shit to reduce the risk.

 

Ultimately its going to get worse before it gets better.

[Jordai]

Do you think it will get worse? Most likely for a bit, then it will die down when the governent stop being retards.

 

Is it overhyped? lmfao yes

 

 

How are things where you live? Not too bad tbh, work/schools are open l0l

[mpc]

In Denmark, we locked down last Friday. Schools, gyms and any events with more than 100 ppl are not allowed. Yesterday they even closed our borders to any country. 

 

It will differently get worse, Europe is one of the places right now which have the highest risk of getting convid-19. In Italy, a few days ago 200 people died over 24 hours, mostly around the age of 80.

tell that to italy 

[Ape]

The media overhyped it imo. People are making it a big deal over it. I mean I am more cautious about washing my hands more often then ever. 

 

I think it will blow over in a couple of weeks. Not a lot of cases in New Jersey at this time. People just need to relax about this whole ordeal.

[Kevyn]

I mean when’s the last time something like this has happened? We just have to look @ Italy & go based off that.

America is fucked if ur poor ur dead CYA 

[Remy]

seen some niggas fighting over toilet paper on ig

[Parm]

rage is fucking dead l000l

[Safe]

Right now in Sweden 7 confirmed deaths, 1000-1500 infected.

Nothing is shutdown yet, but grocery stores are getting cleaned. 

I do think it's overhyped and media causing panic, but it will get worse for sure.

Likewise, but the thinking is that people in the UK have little patience and don't listen. If they tell them to stay at home for too long they'll just leave their house; Brits are fucking retards. Sadly, I am one. 

 

Asia already is on top of COVID-19. Europe will manage, but the UK, honestly, I think might have the highest death toll in the world at this rate. Maybe BoJo wants that - after all the NHS is struggling with the ageing population, as is the social security system, and the shortage of housing. Maybe there's a deliberate underreaction? 

Responding to OP, this is going to get real ugly real quick. 

 

It's more international than Swine Flu was - a similarly deadly virus with no cure. 

 

 

Next week or two will be make or break time. If they can't get it under control, you're looking at 100+ million cases and essentially 3-5 million deaths (the fatality rate is bound to go up and down - at the start lots of old people will die (the weakest); then will come mass casualties (the stronger will survive) but there won't be enough ventilators for people who would otherwise have survived. Looking at a death toll of at least a few mil sadly. 

Really wish the UK would take this more seriously... number of locals I've talked to who think it's a conspiracy or a bit of a bug going around. No idea whatsoever what a pandemic is or what it means.

 

Stay safe!

^ this. 

 

Take from that social unrest/looting and a police force that could be largely ill at any one time (or unable to work cos no schools = no childcare) and you're looking at real Armageddon shit if this gets out of hand.
