lol you guys really need to catch up to it.

Also, the Indian Prime Minister has asked everyone here to observe a 14 hour self-imposed curfew tomorrow between 7am and 9pm, and wants us to get out of our houses at 5pm and applaud the healthcare workers. This seems like a fuckin' PR move so that we get in the news in much the same way that Italians did when they played music and sang while on lock. But overall, this seems like a trial run for a full scale nationwide lockdown to cut the spread of the virus cos our testing numbers are fuck all and our situation is gonna worsen in the next 2 weeks. God help us!

It's not just about older people, do not forget overwhelming the hospital system. If this happens, society itself suffers.
This is the main problem. 20% of cases are hospitalized, and a significant portion of them are young people. No health system us built for that. If you want to “live normally” you have to get your hospital capacity to those levels.

I wouldn't take wikipedia seriously. Anybody can edit that.
Many wiki articles are protected. This particular article is semi-protected, meaning only registered users with at least 10 edits to their name can make changes. I know wikipedia has a reputation for not being reliable, but it is completely unwarranted because the moderation team there is fantastic.

So trump considering a two week quarantine? Groceries & pharmacies only thing to be open?

lol people thought that was off the table
Two weeks is pointless. It can take sometimes two weeks to even show symptoms once infected. That would be asinine.

and maybe flog the beachgoers in Florida?
Florida be Florida.

But local governments are morons if they don’t anticipate that happening.

Dr. Trump to the rescue!
This whole thing cracks me up. I used to work for a company confounded by a super famous entrepreneur who was all about technology miracles. He just started a newsletter as counter-programming to all the bad news, as he wanted to list daily “could be”, “might be”, “it could happen” crap about possible treatments. The idiot is no better than Trump for doing that.

I hope you guys stay healthy, unfortunately I am not so young like you anymore. With my 72 years I belong to the oldies but in my mind I am still 22.
Hey, you may live far long than those 22 year olds in Florida.

In fact, I hope you do. :)

I read some advice (or "advice") that Japanese doctors recommended. They say drink water regularly, if possible a bit every 15 minutes.

If virus/bacteria is on the lip water would wash it down the stomach where acid kills it. Otherwise if it goes through trachea it's very dangerous.
More wives tales of people desperate for miracle treatments.

Can you elaborate please? Every year in Italy 600-650 thousand people die. Statistically, 4 thousand Italians commit a suicide in a year.

The worst thing about this virus is the panic that took control of the people. I stayed at home for a week but that's it. Today I took a walk in the city center and I intend to live normally from now on. Enough of this bullshit. It's a great social experiment I gotta admit but I won't be a part of it anymore.
Your name wouldn’t happen to be Typhoid Mary, would it?

It's not just about older people, do not forget overwhelming the hospital system. If this happens, society itself suffers.
Every 22 year old moron in an motorcycle accident is as good as dead now. That’s the impact of what’s happening.

Da hell does 14 hours buy anyone? I’ve taken dumps that last longer than that.

It will drastically slow the spread of the virus, and once the lockdown is lifted, the country will have resources in place to better tackle new cases.
The lockdown should have happened two weeks ago. But it's still not too late.
