Anonchan, mark my words. There is a thing called 'post-viral fatigue syndrome', of which I think there is a SARS variant. I predict that the Wuhanchan event is going to mark the worldwide beginning of widespread awareness of '(chronic) post-viral fatigue syndrome' being a real thing and not just a concept in the minds of lazy malingerers. This is also referred to as plain old 'chronic fatigue syndrome', aka CFS. desu

Obviously they cant say that with 100% certainty they want the general public to practice precautions. But the probability is low enough that it is worth living normally if you are young and healthy. You have a higher chance of dying in a car crash than getting covid-19 and dying from it.
A large population is going to get it eventually, might as well get it early and recover from it. Like chicken pox when you're young vs when you're an adult.

They may close all the stores, yes. They've done it in China, and also Italy, and now in Spain.
And, the supply chain may be affected, yes. This is when all imports and shipping stop. You'll be surprised what comes from out of state or when borders close, curfews happen. If you live with someone older or immuno-compromised, then you won't set foot in a store for about 2 months or might be ordered to stay home.

There have been no stories of people starving to death. Just call for a delivery, they have to send food to you. How would it look if someone in your country died of starvation because of curfews? No government wants that on them, they would have workers (allowed to deliver goods and food with a uniform or a badge) to those who need it.
If they can have police on patrol during curfew, they can have deliverymen to deliver food to the actual needy people. Next.

>> No.13788735

>>13788727
Exactly, if you can have postmen delivering your mail every day why not food? They can even leave the food at the door step and not even come into contact with those in the home. They can even test these deliverymen every day for covid-19 if needed. So essential workers get to work, those who aren't get quarantined.

Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP rolls will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

>Why would you need to stock up on any food--particularly dry goods?
1. You want to be ahead of the last minute panic buyers. I've been stocking up since mid februari (slowly, not getting crazy) and I've got enough potable food for at least 2 weeks.
2. It's always good to have a little emergency supply, in case shit really his the fan. It's always better to be prepared. Even if you've "wasted" your effort, you now have loads of food that won't expire for another year or two. Oh boo hoo, however will you get rid of it? It's not like you still need to eat even after this crisis is over or something.

>>13788447
The numbers are almost certainly false. Deaths in Italy are about five times higher than in South Korea, but South Korea is testing A LOT more cases. The less you test, the more severe cases you catch (proportionally). The good news is that the mortality rate is probably around 1-3%, the bad news is that Italy probably has 5-6 times more cases than the official numbers report.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/

Lethality is most likely 23% for those above 80, for other age groups it's far lower.

Shortness of breath (not even pneumonia, just general shortness of breath) happens in about 18.6% of cases. Most likely it's just a coof and a fever.

True, but on the flipside the majority of cases get mild symptoms

>even if you completely cured, it will still come up later like common cold
Its seasonality is speculated on but not proven. Even if it does come up again, the chances of us getting a vaccine in 2021 are pretty high given that multiple teams around the world are working on it. To my knowledge China, America, Britain, Germany, France and Israel are confirmed to be working on it, while a Dutch team made some breakthrough in regards to its antibodies.

The rice was out at the one I went to yesterday, but other than that, they were pretty much fully stocked. Also, keep in mind, there will be food later, it's just people are scared to have to go out later and get it so if you're not particularly afraid of getting corona-chan, there's no real reason to prep for months, just get what you need for the moment.
