A few weeks ago I had the worst flu of my life. Wiped me out for a week.

I wish it had been Covid but it was too early and the symptoms didn't match. It was a mother though.

Lets say we stay inside for 3-4 months. What then? The virus will still be there and will still spread.

Noone is looking at the longgame here.

imagine this is a war against an unknown threat - naturally, the losing side would fall back, regroup, & devise a strategy in order to counteracttack most effectively.

we are in a state where we are still trying to figure things out. why suffer more casualties?

if you touch fire & it burns you, are you still going to keep touching it?

Very well said.

I was watching some of Crenshaw on Rogan's show and he used that analogy too. Made a lot of sense.

it's common sense TBH.

those who belittle this shit are looking at this in a singular lined point of view where they're only focused on themselves, for the most part.

some people just have no heart & do not possess empathy.

I'm in NY, where the shit is real & harsh. I'm lucky & blessed to live out in the 'burbs, but those less fortunate - death is only minutes away from here.

There is no way they can continue with the current lock downs for another 6-12 months. It's unfeasible.

We don't need the virus to disappear, rather hold it off for long enough so that we are better equipped to deal with it.

I'd like to hear more about feasible exit strategies. Scott Gottlieb seems to be the only one I read about who is actively proposing them in an open way that makes sense to me. And he's not even one of the decision brokers in the Trump administration even though I know he has clout as former FDA chief.

Take schools for example. What do you do now? I think that when businesses and other places start to open again, you can have many of them attempt to impose some sort of HR mandates that try to re-design the workplace with social distancing in mind. There are plenty of fields where that is unrealistic but there are others where things can be worked on. But in schools, how do you socially distance? Classrooms are not big enough to spread desks out significantly. Nor or are class sizes small enough in many schools to tackle the issue from that side. Hall changes are packed. Parents might legitimately be on edge about sending their children to school in terms of potential transmission of the virus. Sure, teens and younger seem to generally be well-equipped to combat the illness (thankfully) but it's still a concern, given how rapidly it spreads. One infected person could spread it to practically an entire classroom and what if there is a vulnerable person among them? What if a student has a parent in a vulnerable population? Should that student not be able to attend school because it would be too risky that he or she catch it and bring it home? 40-plus-year old teachers are not going to feel too comfortable either, I'd wager.

But if you can't re-open the schools, then you need people watching the kids- so that precludes who can re-enter the workforce, no?

These are things that I just don't know the answer to. The minute someone tests positive in any given workplace, there will be panic to send everybody in said person's division or within his or her immediate workspace home for two-week quarantine anyway. That's really going to be an issue too.

I was in direct contact with several mainland Chinese who had just flew abroad from China when it happened and I was hospitalized for it.

Little more than just "oh I had a runny nose"

Cant say for sure either way unless I can get an anti body test, but I wouldn't be surprised

New Yorker as well, my friend. It's terrible. I'm fortunate to work from home. I feel tremendously sad for those who can't, those who've lost their jobs, and of course, most of all, those struggling with the illness and dying because of it. I completely agree with you. No one's saying these efforts are sustainable for the long-term but we're hoping they're buying enough time that the experts are able to better approach how to deal with this.

The scary thing is you know some of the best minds worldwide are working on this very issue and have been for weeks/months, yet it seems like we are a way off from something that will assuage this.

The A strain is the closes to the original virus from bats, and is the predominant type spreading in US. B strain is a mutated variant of the B strain, and that was what caused the outbreak in Wuhan but limited to China. C strain is the one spreading in Europe currently.

What do you guys make of this?

Americans in Wuhan brought the original virus (Strain A) into continental US, but the virus mutated locally (Strain B) in Wuhan and caused an outbreak? Virus also mutated into a new strain (Strain C) once it arrived in Europe?
-------
Forster and colleagues found that the closest type of COVID-19 to the one discovered in bats -- type 'A', the "original human virus genome" -- was present in Wuhan, but surprisingly was not the city's predominant virus type. Mutated versions of 'A' were seen in Americans reported to have lived in Wuhan, and a large number of A-type viruses were found in patients from the US and Australia.

Wuhan's major virus type, 'B', was prevalent in patients from across East Asia. However, the variant didn't travel much beyond the region without further mutations -- implying a "founder event" in Wuhan, or "resistance" against this type of COVID-19 outside East Asia, say researchers.

The 'C' variant is the major European type, found in early patients from France, Italy, Sweden and England. It is absent from the study's Chinese mainland sample, but seen in Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea.

If true that could explain the widely varying death rates between the regions
 
lol at the flu victim blaming in here - no one believes the chinese data but if someone suspects they had it, lol it was just the flu bro
