  1. With the amount of high profile cases popping up I think the number of cases may be metric fuckton more than we realize. What are the odds mayors, actors, professional athletes, coaches, presidents, wives of prime ministers, etc. would have come down with this without there being tens of millions of cases already? I worry the ever talked about hospital overload is getting ready to hit very fucking soon.
  2. So, I have never used a bidet. It seems shitty water would splatter all over your junk and ass using one. I realize I must be wrong otherwise people wouldn't use them. Think I'll stick with TP, wet wipes, and daily showers and call it good.
  3. Yeah, I'd say they spread the shit out of it. Austin cluster emerging soon.
  4. The only logical explanation is the government knows the number of infected is a very scary number, and will cause mass hysteria so they do not want testing done. Just hypothetically say there are already a million infected, and that's doubling every few days then what's the point of testing? Or maybe it's just ineptitude.
  5. Never thought I'd see something like that here in the US. It seems unfathomable. Crazy days ahead if true.
  6. HEB @ William Cannon & I-35 is usually packed, but I've never seen it like about an hour ago. They're also now limiting your water purchase to two gallons instead of four. They were still almost sold out. Canned goods aisle was mayhem Also, no TP to be found.
  7. Fuck that guy! I'm sure the threat of arrest will be enough for most to follow the rules.
  8. I've been on the more pessimistic side of the aisle on this from the beginning, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think things ever go back to the way they were. I'm not saying this is the apocalypse, or expecting Mad Max, and who knows just what changes, and how much, but it will never be the same when all the dust settles IMO. I believe 2020 will be a year written about in the history books as a major turn of events in the world's history. I know, I know. I'm probably blowing it all out of proportion.
  9. I know it's basic math, and everyone knows how exponential growth occurs, but it's very relevant to this situation. Many (not necessarily in this thread) are still in the "1,000 cases in the US?!?" and "just 120,000 in the whole world?!?" and "the flu infects like 50 million" mentality. As most already know the numbers are already much higher than the confirmed cases, and have the potential to become tens of millions or greater very quickly from this point forward.
  10. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32,768, 65536, 131072, 262144, 524288, 1048576, 2097152, 4194304, 8388608, 16777216, 33554432, 67108864, 134217728 It takes 28 doubling cycles to reach 134,217,728. It's wild how slow it seemingly starts out before exploding. I mean half way through you're still only at 8,192.
  11. Not at all. We live in clown world where it's a widely held belief this global pandemic is a hoax, facts be damned! Though in all honesty, just going to a conference is probably a bad idea at this point.
  12. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I really do believe all of our lives are about to change. It's really unbelievable. I'm like, is this real life?
  13. What are your thoughts on the theory that due to the potential inability of the hospitals to treat the amount of patients, the CFR will be higher than it otherwise would be. To be clear, say a hospital could properly care for 100 severe Covid-19 cases. If they never exceed 100 patients at a time the CFR would be maybe 2. But what if that hospital needed to care for 300 severe cases? Couldn't the CFR jump substantially even though technically the virus itself is no more deadly due to inadequate care because of an overwhelmed hospital?
  14. For at least 2 weeks I've had almost daily headaches, fatigue, aches and pains, and just a general feeling of not being well. I must admit the thought has crossed my mind that I have Covid-19.
