The people of Italy aren’t mourning their economy this week, they are mourning their dead and desperately trying to save the lives of a sick population that has utterly overwhelmed the capacity of their medical facilities many times over.

Slowing the spread of the virus could literally save millions of lives.

I suspect that in cases requiring intubation and several weeks in ICU it won’t be $30k, more like $300k or more.

That sort of thing also happened in America. When somebody tweeted ““How bad is that reproductive R0 value? It is thermonuclear pandemic level bad” in January, he was treated as an alarmist

FTR, got a friend there with family which is in aelf-quarantine since being exposed to a known case during a workshop.

Sadly, I think they can’t hear their neighbours. Very remote place at the edge of town.

Hope they will be ok. Grandma is living in the flat above them.

They went to the doctor last Wednesday after no improvement and couldn’t get tested. Was diagnosed with bacterial bronchitis and put on antibiotics. 6 days later no improvement, cough and temperature persists. Back to the doctor today, told what they have definitely viral but tested negative for flu. They still won’t test for COVID-19. Prescribed prednisone and Flovent. Told to tough it out unless things get worse. Waiting on radiology to look at chest X-ray.

This. Is. Fucking. Bullshit.

All five acquired it overseas; they should’ve shut the borders at least a week earlier, but we might still manage to keep it mostly contained. I expect we’ll still have rich yachties trying to sneak in without going through quarantine, though,

No cases so far on King & Flinders Islands, thankfully.
