Imo you are right...people aren't that interested in the thread.....but that's likely more due to over modding on GOG & the inability to post about much without being modded on the topic at hand(cannot post much opinions on various actions or have a discussion much on such with others without it possibly being edited/deleted/thread locked/etc) & also probably a bit due to some people avoiding threads started by me in general.

But that is going offtopic, I think.....

Btw I THANK YOU for contributing regardless, and adding some useful info to boot from time to time. *tips hat*

I heard this....that supposedly(according to some studies by medical experts) the virus mortality rate may actually be under 0.2%, and the hospitalization rate MIGHT be lower as well(percentages of overall cases when put side by side with numbers of likely asymptomatic cases).

If true, then we may be a lot better off than we thought(here's hoping it is true).

This(and this entire post of yours) is also very good news/info....will add it to the OP post.

Also it is good to hear that such extreme measures might not be needed(though people in all stations and walks of life will likely still worry not enough is being done due to human nature) and that asymptomatic cases-mild cases seem to be higher(and thus the mortality/hospitalization rates much lower).
======================================================

Joke reply: Bane mask, because it looks cool.

Serious reply: Since the masks are more to protect others from us infecting them, any good piece of cloth that covers that nose and mouth & can remain on the face even without being held in place should suffice.

Hello all, what is everyone doing during all this? I and my family are trying to stay healthy and well, despite all the panic and worry spreading across the world.

First off, welcome new user above....that said:

To all: Added more stuff to the quicktopics for the 2 people reading it(as always take it all with a grain of salt and be prepared for some NSFW stuff[mostly swearing] when perusing it).

Also I will be adding any borderline replies/posts to the quicktopics as well to prevent getting future "vacations", so look there if you want to see my full unfiltered take on this(when I add it from time to time) and see which way I lean(if anyone is curious), and also feel free to add anything else that might not be allowed here as well.
===============================================

Addition: Now disregarding the fact that most test take more time than one has to spend on dental visits(unless they plan on making people come back the next day or so), imo this is not right...to try forcing testing for this on anyone just to be able to frequent such establishments(even dentists).

I DO support them getting proper protective gear(and funding for such if needed), though.
==============================================

Second addition: (Link is to a chan video, but it is SFW and a direct link, bypassing the threads/other posts)

(Also as per the above: it's not just this one city....other areas across the US are experiencing this as well, such as Vegas and others)

Japan chiming in.

More stores are closing, but since it's a voluntary lockdown some stores have stayed open.
Extremely short sighted by those companies opting to stay open.

Also I guess some people still think it doesn't affect under 50s, so people still out n about. Less than usual overall, but with schools closed paired with arrogance/misinformed, youngins seem carefree.

Govt. issued masks apparently suck ass, surprise surprise.

10k yen (~$100?) per person inbound. I think the old 30k per household was going to take way too long logistically to actually help people ASAP. Also Japan is slow as fuck with paperwork anyways.

Worst is yet to come though. Hospitals are beginning to fill up, people being rejected becoming more common, and Golden Week is coming up. I'm assuming some people will travel during Golden Week, spreading this shit.
If that wasn't bad enough the day of/after Golden Week ends, school is supposed to start again. Fucking lol.

At least there's nobody protesting lockdowns and burning phone towers here....yet.

Hehe, fascinating choice of word! Since when did people "hope" for higher infection/death rates? I always thought it was better to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst :)

Some people just want to ruin the world. Those hope everything to be shittier.

Am sure Francksteel meant estimated:)

My apologies, now understand what you meant.

As you said there, the study needs to be verified and is atm inconclusive as is....I am holding out hope they will find it(Remdevisir) to be still somewhat effective for some(crosses fingers).

Likely anecdotal, but didn't Tom Hanks or his wife use it and recover?

Also MANY drugs and treatments are dangerous if implemented the wrong way.....ever see what chemotherapy patients get?

And MANY other experts are saying now that MANY MORE than we think are already infected, and the mortality rates are even lower than we think(I will be posting an expert source on this along with a video in a bit).

================================================================

Well businesses need to be open so employees can work and not need to rely on handouts(food/money).

Also some studies(iirc) have shown that such lockdowns very likely only mitigate the amount of deaths by a negligible amount, and than social distancing/masks/etc do enough on their own.

Well it does affect those under 50, but a very small percentage of them end up needing medical treatment usually due to the illness(I think around 80% or more of all hospitalizations are those over 50).

(This is partially why I think we should isolate the elderly and the vulnerable for a month or more, and not everyone)

If more people have had this and not gotten sick(or recovered/as the studies are starting to hint at), then the illness might be less deadly overall.
=========================================================

To all...some possibly GOOD NEWS: Doctors in Bakersfield show that(if their testing and research is accurate) the mortality rate for this might be much lower than thought(around 0.03% or so).
