Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

So, I don't even care if this isn't what it says it is... look at this shit:

Convenient.

HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC (AT ITS PEAK, 2005-2012)
Death Toll: 36 million
Cause: HIV/AIDS
First identified in Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1976, HIV/AIDS has truly proven itself as a global pandemic, killing more than 36 million people since 1981. Currently there are between 31 and 35 million people living with HIV, the vast majority of those are in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 5% of the population is infected, roughly 21 million people. As awareness has grown, new treatments have been developed that make HIV far more manageable, and many of those infected go on to lead productive lives. Between 2005 and 2012 the annual global deaths from HIV/AIDS dropped from 2.2 million to 1.6 million.

Ordered some tech from Best Buy this morning for Easter gifts for my kids. One hour, no-contact, curbside pickup. I got exactly what I needed and didn't get harassed by three blue shirts to do it. Best Best Buy trip ever.

Normally I have to hit 'em with the Ron Swanson when I walk in there.

I don’t like the usage of the term ‘new normal’. There’s nothing normal about what is going on.

The question becomes at what point do they relax the restrictions and what’s the criteria used to do so. At some point people are going to say fuck it we’re done with this shelter in place and go back to trying to live their lives in the old normal.

I'm confused. 'New normal' is bad, but 'old normal' is OK?

Like I said, “for better or worse...”

I saw a report about folks in Shanghai being given a color-coded Qwerty code on a phone app, which is checked to see if the person is allowed to travel/check into a hotel/enter a restaurant, etc.

Have you received such a code for your phone, and can you tell us more details about how it's issued/utilized, and what thoughts you have about its use?

There are some practices we need to keep after this pandemic.

Depends on your definition of normal I suppose....

This was my first thought when launched. How am I going to get anyone to come back from furlough to pay them the PPP benefit I received in order to get it waived? No one is coming back getting that kind of money when added to the state's benefit package. For most people with a child in IL, they would get around $1200 per week for the next 4 months.

or most people with a child in IL, they would get around $1200 per week for the next 4 months.

And, in some cases, not have to be paying for child care as they were when working.

Regarding the debate on "cause of death"

The first thing to note is that despite all the innuendo on Fox, there is nothing unusual about the way the media or the government is counting coronavirus deaths. In any crisis — whether it’s a pandemic or a hurricane — people with preexisting conditions will die. The standard for attributing such deaths to the current crisis is determining whether those people would have died when they did even if the current crisis had never happened.

When it comes to the coronavirus, the data is clear: COVID-19 is much more likely to kill you if your system has already been compromised by some other ailment, such as asthma, HIV, diabetes mellitus, chronic lung disease or cardiovascular disease. But that doesn’t mean patients with those health problems would have died this week (or last week, or next month) no matter what. The vast majority of them probably wouldn’t have. COVID-19 was the catalyst — the reason they died now and not later.
