OzHawkeye Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Not for good reasons to be sure, but when I saw this outside my door this morning, I was strongly reminded of some of the artwork in 7 Days to Die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synvastian Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 it has reached 6k deaths, and will likely claim quite a few more... Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year. this is a current figure, and COVID-19 is WORSE than the flu for mortality, especially with no vaccine (for at least a year according to the WHO and CDC) so yeah, this sickness in no joke, take care everyone, remember 20 second hand washes, if you can avoid crowds, do please, and if you feel sick, take a day and self evaluate your friend who wants you to stay healthy ~Syn PS/Edit: man that paper is creepy, totally would love to see random newspapers as legible in 7dtd touting the after effects of the "event" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurambo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 if UK don't change strategy only there the death toll could be much bigger than that i'm italian, we are in lockdown from a week already, but the situation is yet problematic we are facing at least another month of emergency imho it's not life threathening if you're young and healthy, but you can spread the virus even if you are asintomatic and if someone who has health problems catch it is very dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCabong Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Very creepy to be sure. We'll get though this. We may have a difficult year ahead until they get a vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidster Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Imperial College London release a (not peer-reviewed yet) study which games out different approaches to COVID-19 for the UK and the US. It is...sobering. If you watch the US news you may have noticed a pretty dramatic shift in tone over the last 24 hours. This study was apparently forwarded to the White House this weekend. The key takeaway for me, as a lucky-to-be-working-from-home person is, it's going to be weeks, maybe months of this. My company, thankfully, is taking it seriously and trying to get as many people WFH as possible. Caution: dense medical journal language ahead. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imp...16-03-2020.pdf ETA: Easier to digest CNN story: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/17/healt...udy/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFlu Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Might be I'm weird or something, but printing a couple "Two patients in X hospital attack staff. COVID suspected to have inflammed their brains" fake frontpages, and deploying them simlarly could be ... interesting .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
