I found this pretty interesting. They are talking about how they handled the virus in South Korea. The comments about face masks was interesting. Its in korean but with subtitles.
Since masks greatly reduce the amount of virus which gets to your mouth and nose, wearing a mask will lower the concentration of Coronavirus you're exposed to, giving your immune system more time to identify it as a threat, and successfully fight it off.
The top doctor in charge of fighting Coronavirus in South Korea - which has done the best of job of any country so far - says that Western health officials (I'm talking to you, US CDC and the World Health Organization) that say that normal people shouldn't wear masks are FULL OF IT.
But the new analysis by MIT has found that viral droplets expelled in coughs and sneezes can travel in a moist, warm atmosphere at speeds of 33ft to 100ft per second (ten metres to 100 metres), creating a cloud that can span approximately 23ft to 27ft (seven metres to eight metres).
A test by a Nobel prize-winning scientist shows that even talking can spew virus
I think Jim Grant makes a good point about the costs of job loss and isolation.
(interview CNBC)
Losing your job is very traumatic and can trigger a host of problems like depression, stress -and therefore sickness, insecurity, bankruptcy, homelessness and starvation. Before the crisis 150 million Americans were in poverty or the edge of poverty. Many children can't concentrate at school because of hunger. We don't know the number who die of starvation or starvation related diseases and are sick from malnutrition (because the statistics are too embarrassing to keep), but it much more that the CNBC talking heads, pundits, medical cabal could imagine.
Rather than closing the economy, have everyone wear a mask, but in air sterilizers and get on with it. Set up treatment and testing centers away from the hospitals to stop spreading the disease to those not infected.
Sweden has just continued onward and Chezk is using common sense and having everyone wear a mask.
Don't parrot the nonsense to mindless overpaid buffoons of FDA, CDC, NHS and WHO. These people have made themselves rich off of sickness and will continue to do so. If their salaries reflected common sense and forward proactive actions they who be paupers and could taste their own actions on the doorsteps of poverty.
The FED caused the everything bubble and this banking cartel should disbanded and sued for the misery to millions they the Fiat Extraction Devils have caused.
I work from home anyways, but as I care for my mom (bring groceries, cleaning etc) I have to take extra precautions not to get anything - even regular flu - which could be the death knell.
Going to the grocery store is getting quite scary. Everyone is tense, hardly anyone is wearing a mask (listening to retards from the govt) and its like driving through a ghost town. I am Ok for monthly money but I can't imagine what the unemployed must be suffering.
I started buying non-perishables in Jan when it was obvious this was going to be bad and the China CCP was lying - once again. Sadly, most people go to mainstream and govt talking heads - so when I tried to tell friends 3 months ago to get ready for the Great Depression everyone thought I was Chicken Little - so I gave up.
So I don't have the flu, or a cold or Covid (unless I'm before symtoms) but I've always been very careful with my health, nutrition and hygiene.
-e.g. I have "always" last 15 years washed fruit with peels with diluted dish soap before peeling etc.
Bottom line is that I feel the stress/anxiety/fear of others and it makes me tense.
(Being tense doesn't help with trading -- hah, hah)

COVID-19 public dataset program: Making data freely accessible for better public outcomes
To aid researchers, data scientists, and analysts in the effort to combat COVID-19, we are making a hosted repository of public datasets, like*Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering*(JHU CSSE), the Global Health Data from the World Bank, and OpenStreetMap data, free to access and query through our*COVID-19 Public Dataset Program.*Researchers can also use*BigQuery ML*to train advanced machine learning models with this data right inside BigQuery at no additional cost.**
you know...it was pretty much the same here, at first it was a joke then it became suddenly serious. But people responded remarkably so I think it's gonna be the same everywhere. We are not chinese we may have not their discipline and that kind of governement but when things get tough and health is at stake I think humans are inclined to do what is best and what they are told to do.
Btw... Good news I think today we hit the peak in Italy so it now starts a slow recovery. So I guess it's correct to count about 2 months from the start to the end of the outbreak, like it has been in China.
