Sorry, to add to my post, it's not that bad with Amazon. The thing I was referring to is actually for Whole Foods, which is still owned by Amazon.

This is strongly making me reconsider my automatic renewal to Prime next month. That's fucked

TBF, I would expect them to successfully implement the draconian quarantine measures than we would here. Government tells Chinese citizens to stay indoors and theyll listen. US government tells their citizens to stay indoors and we treat it like a joke and tell us the media is lying.

Yep, pretty much what I said in another topic yesterday. It worked because of fear. We'd be like "fuck you bitch" with something like that.

China has stronger control over its people and they're way better organized. They also can take extreme actions like the Wuhan quarantine.

Meanwhile US has "freedom". Economy and the right to gather in masses have higher priority over human lives (literally)

Pretty much. As someone who lives in mainland China, the only reason people followed the quarantines is because they were forced to. Simply going outside without a mask could get you beaten by a half dozen cops in China. People are afraid of being disappeared and having their organs "donated" to some rich guy so they keep their mouths shut and do what they are told.

Trump Administration have been covering up the spread in US from the beginning, by the way. Even going as far as refusing the test kits and making their own, then making them super expensive and denying the tests to medical staff who were almost certainly infected.

UK health minister writes article going into detail about the government's plan and has it published on the website of a right wing newspaper that requires you to pay to read it. They've since made it free to view but it's totally bullshit that it wasn't just published on a government site.

China has been infected a lot longer than most other countries, so it's probably true. They are still kidding themselves if they think anyone believes their numbers though.

"This is for clinically diagnosed cases, which is skewed towards severe cases, since people with mild infections are less likely to seek medical care"

"These patients were not residents of Wuhan"

So yeah, this is likely strongly skewed towards cases where they had to hospitalize em. Which means young people are NOT safe, just more likely to get away lightly.

My wife's work is closed until further notice. She works in a day care. How are we supposed to pay our bills when we are suddenly down about $400 a week? We can make it for a while(3 months or so barring further emergencies) but it took us years to build up the savings we have now, which is not much.

Hey, does anybody know how fast the virus moves across the body?

Like just say I did have it on my hands and then touched my cheek or whatever, how fast does it move from the face to the entry point or whatever?

Idk, hopefully this question makes sense. I washed my face like 15 minutes later, (I wasn't able to the minute that I realized it) so I'm hoping that's good.

Yeah its funny. Been delivering lately for Postmates and some people want the food to be dropped at the door and left there. Maybe they grab the bag with gloves to avoid contact. But its futile because theres so much handling of the food and utensils and packaging that its impossible not to get it if someone who has the virus handled it.

And again, cardboard carries the virus for up to 3 days. If one person from Amazon catches it we are fucked.

What do you mean "until the summer"? It's not gonna magically disappear just because the sun came out and a bit of sunlight won't kill the viruses in your body.

The "let's build herd immunity" plan the idiots leading UK thought of isn't gonna work either coz no one said there's any immunity memory building in our bodies. In fact there are cases of people getting reinfected quickly and it mutates quickly.

Hm, I'm not some microbiology expert, but don't they just stick to the skin until they enter the host or get washed away by soap?

IMO as long as water / sweat doesn't move it into your mouth you're probably fine?
