How are the aborigines people doing during this time?

they're being told to attend group activities despite the risk of the virus
YEEZUS CHRIST
THE PEOPLE WANT TESTS
https://twitter.com/WarsontheBrink/status/1240985312551198720The way the US has handled this is a joke, they're going to be hit the most.
It's people have turned soft and feel like they're invincible.
Yesterday, they had done 58 tests in Florida. 58.
These are the most worrisome numbers... It IS spreading in warm climate countries. And these countries are the ones that lack high quality health care.
Watch out for how this progresses moving fahwahd

& this is why it’s spreading
People aren’t listening
Companies aren’t complying
Difference between us and China? When the Chinese govt says stay home everyone will stay home Bc they know if they go outside that government will f*** them up 😭
Different type of virus. Humans already immune to many strains of influenza. This is a new coronavirus and humans have never been in contact with this strain (because it came from another animal) so nobody is immune to it, and in theory every person on earth could get it.
This is more deadly, more contagious, causes more hospitalizations and health complications.
Also wanna clarify the flu is different from the common cold. Idk why people keep saying things like it's just a flu. If you've ever had the flu you know that s*** is 2 weeks of hell.
so basically the flu except it’s easier to contract. i read the death rate is the same

you read wrong
so basically the flu except it’s easier to contract. i read the death rate is the same
The flu has a death rate of 0.01% whereas this virus has a current death rate of 3%...
Wait, I thought it was spread by droplet. Like someone coughs and then you touch your nose or mouth
so basically the flu except it’s easier to contract. i read the death rate is the same
1. The virulence (R0) of SARS-CoV-2 is estimated between 1.4-6.49, with a mean estimate of 3.28^[1] . This mean estimate is much higher than the seasonal flu, which has an R0 of 1.3^[2] . What this means is that SARS-CoV-2 spreads signficantly faster than the seasonal flu.
2. The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of SARS-CoV-2 is at least 2-3%^[3] . This is 20-30 times higher than the CFR of the season flu, which is around .1%^[4] .
3. SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted without the infected showing any symptoms^[5] . This makes it much more difficult to control.
4. Roughly 20% of SARS-CoV-2 infections result in serious symptoms that require medical intervention^[6] . This is more than 10 times the hospitalization rate of the seasonal flu^[7].
5. Symptoms from SARS-CoV-2 can persist over a month^[8] compared to the seasonal flu where symptoms typically tend to clear after 5 days^[9] .
6. There is no vaccine for SARS-CoV-2^[10] whereas people regularly get annual flu shots.
7. There is no herd immunity for SARS-CoV-2 which means that it can theoretically infect the entire population. See, for example, a Korean psychiatric department where the virus infected 99/102 people.
Now, consider the multiplicative effect that all of these attributes have for the virus. Compared to the seasonal flu, SARS-CoV-2 (1) spreads faster; (2) kills far more; (3) is harder to control; (4) requires use of far more medical resources; (5) for far longer a period of time; (6) has no effective treatment; and (7) can infect entire populations.
These factors mean that SARS-CoV-2, if left unchecked, is far more likely to overwhelm a country's medical infrastructure. Additionally, when medical infrastructure is overwhelmed, the CFR will skyrocket because we know that 20% of cases require medical intervention.
It doesn't take a genius to piece it all together. This virus is potentially devastating if containment measures fail. Far worse than the seasonal flu.
so basically the flu except it’s easier to contract. i read the death rate is the same
If you want to be optimistic yes. But realize there's no immunity right now. So literally everyone in the world can get sick and overrun health care for the entire year. That's worse than the flu logistics wise
As soon has it reaches your mucous membrane it spreads throughout your body

boutta abuse some oranges rn b
Democrats are just as guilty of this
If he gets it, which i truly hope he doesn't, that would make it tougher for him if he gets the trouble breathing
F***
Any way you can help him not smoke?
in general I think he's cutting down as of late though it's quite the hard addiction to put down especially during stressful times such as these, I'm most worried because he works in a very populated area in which this disease can easily spread, as well as the fact that school closures/ lockdowns in general have not been enacted so I could easily pass it onto him if I were to catch it
the fact that my father could die from this as a result of the carelessness from our government scares the f*** out of me dude...

And 10% of hospitalizations require Intensive care.....

Maybe nicotine gum?
