  1. Why?!? How?!? This does not compute. Unless they really just do not want to test to prevent panic.
  2. Also, how many of the 75,000 can be tested daily? The reason I ask is because I believe in very short order the US will shoot in to the #2 spot behind China once we really start testing. I know we all know that is because we have 300+ million citizens, and there is a substantial backlog of cases. But can you imagine the panic that will ensue when we skyrocket from say 1,000 cases today to 20,000 in a week. People are going to lose their minds.
  3. And knowing how little this country has done I am more concerned than ever after reading that. If that's what's happening in S. Korea, what the fuck will be happening here? I suppose we'll be in Italy's spot in a couple of weeks, if not sooner.
  4. Very good read. It definitely is not contained in S. Korea. They've thrown everything they have at it, and only slowed it's spread. People are dying while waiting for a hospital bed. And this is the "success" story.
  5. Indeed Tower Crane installed at Hanover Hanover construction site
  6. The City says that through May 1, events with 2,500 or more people are prohibited unless organizers are able to assure Austin Public Health that “mitigation plans for infectious diseases are in place.”
  7. I'm proper fucked then. Then again with the stock market and oil prices, the virus is just icing on the cake. We're all fucked I guess.
  8. Also, after reading that it seems to me there is really no way to stop the spread of this virus outside confining people to their homes. That's a sobering thought.
  9. Um, that seems like warm weather will most definitely not stop this virus.
  10. Looks pretty great. The thought of Austin with a transit system like this blows my mind.
  11. No work = No money A lot of Americans don't have much savings. I'm curious as to how that would work out.
  12. I mean it's not like we're just a couple of weeks in now, with a tiny sample size. I'm not saying the numbers presented are set in stone, but I do think they show this is obviously much more lethal than the seasonal flu. It's useful to show because there are some who still believe this really isn't anything worse than the flu. I believe that is a dangerous stance to take.
  13. There's no way I'd travel overseas right now. And not necessarily because I'd be scared of catching Covid-19, but because I'd be scared while there international air travel would be suspended, and I'd be trapped in a foreign country in crisis. I think next week is gonna be insane.
  14. Somebody's gonna become a billionaire when they produce the first commercially available antimicrobial lube.
  15. As it compares to the flu: https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-compared-to-flu-mortality-rates-2020-3
  16. This is what I've been wondering about China's quarantine. What happens when they end it, and everyone goes back to work?
  17. And what of N. Korea, firmly sandwiched between China and S. Korea? I'd imagine they may have quite a few by now.

  19. I just want to get ahead of the inevitable responses, so here goes. -Bro, only the most severe cases are positive right now! Chill out! -Dude, stop being ridiculous! It's just old people! -Come on man! Italy's like the Mexico of Europe! That shit'll never happen in 'Merica!
  20. I wonder how long before other countries in Europe follow Italy's lead. I'd speculate France and Germany would be next. The numbers are starting to grow very quickly in those two just like Italy.
