I am unfortunately of the opinion that it's going to get bad.
We are not being as smart about this as China, Taiwan, South Korea, etc.
I don't think the American people understand the severity of it yet.
This is the end. We are witnessing collapse of the global economy

Right. Including the white house. I'm very worried for my life for the first time.
Study Spanish flu, lasted 3 years, killed millions. Dumb undisciplined people and inconsistent policy will cost many their lives.
Also much more fatal and killed all ages pretty much equally, not that there was 78year olds back then, mid 40's was good and mid life crisis started aged 22.
not much more fatal at 2%. Spain & Italy are in the 5+% mortality rate.
Perhaps not.....But the striking reality that human beings are endowed with such a high moral idealism that saving just one life in essence is saying its preservation is tentamount to saving all of humanity.
So much for socialized medicine. Despite all the shortcomings of the Administration to combat this virus, I am surprised that our death rate is not higher. People in Italy were actually following directions unlike us, and yet their death rate is through the roof. In spite of the fact our numbers rise, I wonder if the death rate will spike. We have had 2010 death with 113K cases or <2%.
I am betting there will be a huge spike. Watch this video on the parameters of the SIR model, which considers social distancing, neighborhood interaction, neighborhood size, clustering locations, quarantine probabilities, and rule violation probabilities. This affects the R_0 value. The Spanish Flu R_0 = 2, they estimate Corona is R_0 ~ 4.
Three words: Martial Law Needed.
4 to 6 weeks. No one goes anywhere or they get arrested or shot. Close the markets. Shut everything down and I mean everything but hospitals..pharmaceuticals.
The military and only the military can operate with speed and precision. The civil gov cannot and all they can do is yap and yap about social distancing..etc. Democratic principles cannot get the public thru this. Only an autocratic gov can get us thru this ...one that dishes out the orders and expect them to be obeyed or else.....
When the house is burning down the fire chief doesn’t call for a vote on what to do.

On the bright side...
When I'm at my funeral or a family members funeral...
Those SPXS will be through the roof!!!
Are South Korea and Taiwan that autocratic?
Loved it. But CGI was done badly. Also the end is questionable (theres even cut version of it where main char survives).
