So, if we reach an infection saturation point where the majority of people have it, would we then all be able to go about our business again? (Coronavirus, not necessarily covid19).
Obviously the very young, elderly, and compromised would not count.
Thoughts?

(Not completely serious here, kind of spitballing)

Thought about this while shopping, would there even be a need to stockpile?

Had a morning Corona briefing and evidently it doesn't hit the kids at all. There's like one kid in China that had to be hospitalized and had to have assisted breathing, but they survived and are doing fine now. That's out of all the infections. It is much more discriminant against the elderly, unlike regular flu.

In hell. Welcome!

Note from the ground in Italy. Sounds horrific.
Italy dropped the ball big way.

This is the fucking scary part. Dumbass right wingers beveling that it's all a plot from the left. One of those guys in our office was spouting this today, that "he heard on Glen Beck"...well it's not the "left" doing it to bring down the president or for political gain or whatever, it's these piece of shit right wing news outlets that are actually doing it, by making the baseless accusations.

Let post 5 there sink in a bit.
Fuck.

I just told the MIL that she's not flying back on Sunday and she's not challenging. She's going to finish getting her CA condo packed and then she'll drive back to CO. She's 71 and has recurring lung issues, so she a primary candidate for it...

incubation period is basically confirmed at 14 days max. median incubation is 5.1 days. come on stoney.
Moreso about this part:
These estimates imply that, under conservative assumptions, 101 out of every 10 000 cases (99th percentile, 482) will develop symptoms after 14 days of active monitoring or quarantine.
That's not 100%.

My company suspended all non essential travel last week.
Mine did too. You need clearance from a director level before traveling. We have offices and plants throughout the globe, so on a side note it'll be interesting to see how much cash is saved. Though apparently webex service is taking a pounding.

GM sent out a similar notice yesterday too. Basically no travel is permitted.

My work is handing out hand sanitizer in bulk. Though going to the store, there is really no change. Should note that I don't goto costco, because its literally always a zoo there, corona virus or not.

Funny that the most responsible response I have seen to this outbreak is from Harbor Freight Tools, who has stepped up their cleaning regimen and promised affected employees that they will be paid if they have to stay home under quarantine.
