    for the safety of others you probably should tbh

    and this applies for everyone who went out protesting btw

    I protested yesterday so it's suggested that I wait 5 days from then before I make an appointment. Judging by averages, I could be symptomatic by Sunday if I caught something.

    For what it's worth, the only place I ever go in a given week is the laundromat. I'm extremely isolated and had barely been in contact with anyone besides my wife since March and she works from home.

    if you're young and in good shape, you'll statistically have a better chance of being okay if you get infected, the reason why many governments and health experts advocate for social distancing is to protect more at risk populations, and to prevent hospitals from being overrun like they were in Italy,

    this s*** isn't a joke, y'all stay safe out there

    I get it, i agreed with the lock down until june. Its getting to a point where cases are the same, nothing is changing, just stuck on limbo. I just wanna know the plan.

    85% of deaths are people 80+

    Did you know the median survival time in long term care is 2.2 years? 32% of all patients die yearly. The normal flu increases the chance of death by 7x. Take that in. That's in a normal year with no covid. If u wanna read ill link the pubmed link

    Imagine how f***ed the long tern care system is that they got massacred this bad.

    Lol I didn't see that ALL of California can open basically everything starting Friday. Movie theaters, bars, gyms, schools, etc.

    Well, here we go. Nothing that can be done about it now except to be responsible for yourself. Same as always tbh.

    Btw, I think the state is just allowing counties to make decisions on opening. But pretty much every county has opened all they could as soon as it was available. Pretty sure money is playing a huge part in this

    Wouldn’t we already be seeing a huge spike from protests if they caused them? Protests started like 12 days ago

    It will take up to a week before we see how it goes on. We shouldn't forget that the current numbers are always from tests that were carried out days before but it slowly begins already:

    DC Guard members test positive for COVID after protests

    usa is so s***. we lead the world in covid cases, late to lockdown, and rushing to open up. all of this happening while spread is getting worse.

    it's obvious now the plan isn't to eradicate it but live with it and idk how to do that when my parents are 60+. they wanna enjoy their lives too

    Why is no one talking about the fact that theyve discovered it very rarely actually stealth spreads. That was the scariest part when this was all starting, that you could spread it 2 weeks before you knew you had it. Real glad we sat inside for 3 months scared of human interaction for this.

    Officials at the World Health Organization on Tuesday walked back an earlier claim by one of their colleagues that transmission of the virus by people without symptoms is “very rare.”
    The officials called it a “misunderstanding,” but it’s not the first time the W.H.O.’s assessment has seemed to lag behind scientific opinion.
    Even as agency leads the worldwide response to the pandemic, several scientists warned on Tuesday, it is failing to take stock of rapidly evolving research findings and to communicate clearly about them.
    Another example: The agency delayed endorsing masks for the general public until Friday, claiming there was too little evidence that they prevented transmission of the virus. Virtually all scientists and governments have been recommending masks for months.
    The W.H.O. has also said repeatedly that small airborne droplets, or aerosols, are not a significant factor in the pandemic’s spread, although a growing body of evidence suggests that they may be.
    These scientific disagreements have wide policy implications. Many countries, including the United States, adopted lockdown strategies because they recognized that isolating only people who were sick might not be enough to contain the epidemic.
    “On the one hand, I do want to cut the W.H.O. some slack, because it is hard to do this in an evolving pandemic,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. “At the same time, we do rely on the W.H.O. to give us the best scientific data and evidence.”
