Wizards! Why did no one think of using them earlier?

God works in mysterious ways.Why on Earth did he wait? Couldn't we have flown him to Wuhan or somewhere in the beginning of the outbreak?
It’s you that’s confused. Google “intubation”. It’s not the same thing as needing to be admitted to hospital for oxygen.
I'm a bit unsure as to why you seem so confused by simple numbers. I'll try a different approach.
100 people in their 30s test positive for COVID-19
3.2% or 3.2 people have serious enough symptoms to need medical treatment in hospital
of those 3.2 people that enter hospital 5% or 0.16 people require a ventilator
50% of the 0.16 or 0.08 people die.
How is this not clear? Can someone help me out here?
Yes.
But that simulation done just before Christmas showed exactly how it would spread so we did know and would expect it to be this bad. So we should done just that.Or we could have been quarantining anyone who had been to China in the last 3 months for mandatory two weeks. But as pointed out, it would have been hard to implement without knowing consequences. I don't think anyone expected it to be this bad.

Enjoy your totalitarian purity.Human stupidity is a powerful thing. You need to confront it powerfully in return.
If someone can’t wait to get a bit of sun and gets jailed for 3 years; and that saves lives, then so be it.
People are supposed to listen to clear advice from the government. It isn’t that difficult.
I don’t expect people from individualistic cultures to really understand it. Someone posted about the “cheek-kissing” countries being the worst hit (Italy, Spain and France). We’re even bigger cheek-kissers in the Gulf and we haven’t been hit as hard comparatively.
Ultimately, in Europe and the States, the culture is “to hell with other people. As long as I can have my beer out in the sun. No copper can stop me doing that.”
Reap the rewards.
One with a small C.What kind of christian would only heal one country?
Look at this map, percentage of people automatically washing their hands after they exist bathrooms. France, Spain, Italy and Holland don't have good percentages and the death tolls due to covid in these countries is high. Make of that what you will.Human stupidity is a powerful thing.

Your highly perceptive summary of the "ultimate" culture of Europe and the US was both perceptive, accurate, reasonable and modest.
And, yes, that was fecking sarcasm.
Do any of the third world countries have any realistic chance of controlling this thing? I know some of them have taken measures but, if you're someone who's struggling daily to put a meal on the table for yourself (let alone your dependants) are you really going to give a shit about distancing?
You'll probably take your chances with the virus than starving to death.
The UK numbers are still awful, but seem to be slowing down. I don't want to get my hope up too much. There's a bit of a levelling off in the last few days, but the same thing happened about a week ago.
I see this everyday, people supposed to be in confinement but entire neighborhoods living their lives because they do not have a choice. When people obey to the instructions, many small houses are also overcrowded. Unless a miracle, what is happening in Europe right now will be nothing very soon here.Do any of the third world countries have any realistic chance of controlling this thing?

No, it was very perceptive.
It’s not perceptive mate. Look at the data, the numbers, the results. I feel sorry for people like you who seem to be completely in denial.
I still don't quite get the mortality in Spain and Italy in comparison to northern countries, is simply that virus there so much more widespread?
No, it was very perceptive.
Ultimately, as long as I can get a beer of an evening I, just like all of Europe and the US, will willing accept a humanitarian disaster as I am a selfish and ill disciplined prick missing the stern but firm hand of a strong government.
Essentially, yes.I still don't quite get the mortality in Spain and Italy in comparison to northern countries, is simply that virus there so much more widespread?
Listening to the daily UK briefing and some of the ridiculous questions from the media. I've noted a number of them are having a dig at the police for enforcing the lockdown. Absolutely ridiculous and I'm sorry to say only in the UK. What do people want?!

The amount of cases in Turkey has been growing extremely fast recently.. from 50 to more than 10k in just 2 weeks.Look at this map, percentage of people automatically washing their hands after they exist bathrooms. France, Spain, Italy and Holland don't have good percentages and the death tolls due to covid in these countries is high. Make of that what you will.
Thank you. I agree that the only way to control and educate populations is disproportionate vindictiveness and I too hope that I some day live under theocratic diktat.You seem to have a very high opinion of the intelligence and selflessness of the average person. Good luck.
What's happening in Djibouti at the moment?

Culture no doubt.
The average age of moving out from parents in Italy is 30. Add that to kissing on cheek culture and it simply means a shit load more risk group 70+’s getting it and in a shorter timeframe.
Isn't the slight flaw in your theory that China and Iran initially led the way and Iran continues to outrun Germany, the UK etc. despite having fundamentally different cultures?
The thing I've been most surprised by is the amount of people that make themselves feel better by pointing out how other countries, regions, cultures, age groups etc. are worse than them. Divisivensss becomes a comfort blanket.
25 confirmed cases in a week which probably means close to 100 in reality. Half the town follows confinement and the other half just doesn't give a shit basically because they are ignorant but mostly because they live on a day to day basis, they need food for their families. The governement has no plans in place to help the people and these feckers even set up various bank accounts for donations from the peopleWhat's happening in Djibouti at the moment?
