I just think it will be forgotten about in a few weeks.. just like a few weeks ago I said that the "futures on fire" thing would be a distant memory, which it is... something new will replace Corona soon
Unlikely. It's still spreading rapidly and there's no vaccine so it'll be around for at least another 12 months. Unless quarantine half the world.

I can feel myself coming down with something. Whilst its more likely from my 2 year old constantly sneezing and coughing on me (fucking child care germ farms!), I am trying not to think its the ol' CoViD19.

In the United States at least 60000 people a year die from the flu.

Just think. In 5 years from now we may be saying, "Each year in the United states 120,000 people die from the flu and Covid-19. As if we should be worried about the alien parasite virus"

A few key points from the interview:

- the virus is in the very early stages. It's expected to get much, much worse

- it's expected to make a come back in China after quarantine measures are lifted

- predicted to be 15 times worse than the worse seasonal flu when it comes to death counts

- the virus primarily kills at risk people (old and weakened immune systems) but has started hitting many young people especially obese and smokers

- there's a lot of misinformation in the public treating it like the virus will disappear soon

- peak virus will hit in the next 3 to 6 months

- the virus is generally doubling infectious cases every 4 days (2 people get infected, 4 days later 4 people infected, 4 days later 8 people, then 16, then 32, etc)

- over 55s and people with underlying health issues should avoid crowds

- closing schools is causing problems as it forced nurses to stay home to take care of their kids

Funny part though, like Howard said earlier. At the end of the interview he says "but don't be nervous. My job is not to scare you out of your wits. It's to scare you into your wits"

Picked up another 30 rolls tonight. People with less than 100 rolls in their inventory have no hope

Hmmm, since its approaching mid-March, you're almost at your max. Virus was discovered in December.
You do realise I meant 12 weeks (max) till we hear the end of it yea?

I legit still have a cough and runny nose that's getting worse, also experienced shortness of breath today while working and it was a bit of a struggle. Have a slight fever right now. Regular cold, flu or coronavirus?
