Supposedly North Korea has been shooting any of their citizens even remotely suspected to have to Covid-19.
I suppose the virus will be harder to spread when the carriers are immediately executed.
They call that "Taking one for the team."

They call that "Taking one for the team."
If this is happening and the executors get the virus because they are in contact with the infected and then have to execute themselves... who will then do the executions?Supposedly North Korea has been shooting any of their citizens even remotely suspected to have to Covid-19.

By the time they are well enough to have the strength shoot themselves, they no longer have the virus which means they don't have to.
LOL whoever this guy is, hes panicking, what a loser.
Right guys?

Scary chart, and the numbers behind it:
This is probably one of the more interesting and informative pieces of info I have found.
China took drastic steps to slow down new infections, and its working!
Only 200 new cases reported today in mainland China, the last few paragraphs explain the decline.

Starting to see a number of schools starting to shut down in the US
Still, most of them will wait for a confirmed case in one of the classrooms before they do.
Being reactive instead of proactive is the wrong strategy here.

The thing with China, is that they have so much more control of everything and everyone inside their country. Almost everything in the world seems to get manufactured in China, and they have a lot of control over their manufacturing. They can seize anything they need be it goods or private property. They can force people to do almost anything. While most of this sounds horrible to other countries, during a pandemic, it seems to me to be the best way to approach this, centralized authoritarianism. Im not advocating for it, but I dont see other governments being able to control it nearly as well. What do y'all think?
The stuff they did in Wuhan is not going to happen here.
Can you imagine the cops telling entire city blocks that they can't leave their apartments?

No doubt, not for Corona. Imagine a virus with a 50% mortality rate. That would definitely be happening.
2 cases in Colorado that I just heard about. I guess some lady flew back from a cruise and had it, she's been isolated in her home. I already talked to my staff about being prepared to telecommute for an extended period of time if necessary.
ugh... people. Please do some simple math before freaking out. 3411-2931 = 480 in the entire world outside of China have died --> that is a little over 14%, 85% of the ENTIRE death toll is in China. US has way below one percent of the deaths. And the majority of those deaths were from a OLD FOLKS HOME in WA.
The new coronavirus has sickened very few children, puzzling experts
"What's the secret to their success? We're just happy they do have success against this particular virus," one said.
The more accurate number we can expect is 0.6% mortality rate like South Korea.
South Korea did 140,000 tests on their population, which is the most testing done by any first world country.
It is also worth remembering that all these countries have taken drastic steps to slow down the spread, we have hardly done anything at all here. Some events have been cancelled, a few school closed, but nothing extreme like S Korea.
No ones "freaking out", and the amount of deaths is almost irrelevant. Trying to downplay this is just ridiculous though, don't be so pretentious. In Italy their hospitals are overwhelmed and at capacity. Their staff are getting infected and can't work, and we are in the very very early stages of this virus. Its not like all other diseases and medical issues just go away. What happens to the people who need ICU beds for other things? What happens when your hospital staff are out of commission? What happens when companies cant operate because their workforce is crippled? If we stop taking measures to contain this, our hospitals will be overwhelmed almost immediately. Its putting our EMS personnel out of commission already. Theres reasons why every state that has a case is declaring an emergency. Theres a reason were having daily briefings from multiple agencies around the world. There's a reason why this is "a big deal". China can't move product. The stock market is on the decline and no one seems to know if its going to keep going or its going to bounce back. Can our hospitals do surgeries without masks? Because were definitely going to run out. Will struggling airlines stay in business if they cant fly? Because theyre already struggling. Companies are already laying people off and people are being affected. I absolutely do not and cannot understand the condescending attitude you and other people have towards this. I understand the optimism bias, but open your eyes.
The Rage Virus explored. One of my all-time favorite movies. The reason I linked it here is the first few minutes of this youtube vid seems to tie strongly into what has been happening in the past few weeks.

Look, I've watched TV sitcoms well. I went to NBC school in the military. That said, you are correct, it can increase exponentially, especially for elderly people, in an extremely short amount of time. I get it, but the Titanic is not sinking and its is not time to run for life rafts yet (because in the end, you cannot reason with a virus, and you can't fly off the planet to run away. It is like a flood, you have to get out of its way, because it is coming whether you like it or not. At some point there must be in acceptance that SHIT happens and we just have to deal with it). But to scare the public is irresponsible - stock market is falling (bad), so is my home interest rate (good). By no means am I saying that being prepared is bad, it is good, and this virus is going to get worse before it gets better. Lets just be realistic about it.
According to a local news article what someone shared on The Facebook, the UK county I live in has its first confirmed case/s.
I say case/s because although it's confirmed, the exact number of "confirmed" cases is "between 1 and 4".
I feel reassured that in the face of the potential apocolypse I can continue my pastimes of being semi-confused and mildly bemused.

I apologize if I misunderstood you, but I don't think anyone is trying to scare anyone in this thread. I find everything in here to be really interesting more than anything. Its good to know whats going on but no one in the world seems to have all the facts yet so its hard to stay objective about things, which might lead some to believe were purposefully pushing false information in an attempt to stir the anxiety pot. Its just healthy discussion with some reasonable speculation. Im not here to insult anyone's intelligence either so I assume most in here understand the inevitable ambiguity. You're correct in saying the titanic isnt sinking, and regardless there isnt much we can do about it but deal with whatever comes out way.
My neighbor already had his grandaughter laid off and as you can see through this thread, some peoples workplaces are already either being affected or preparing to make changes to what they do. Paying attention to whats happening to them and people in their situation and how they handle it will be good information to have. I stated in the first post in here that my biggest worry, and I'm assuming most everyone elses, is the socioeconomic impact. Its just sucks waiting to see if or when it will happen to each of us. I have 3 close family members left excluding my little sister. Grandma and Grandpa are 76 and 92 respectively. I live with my aunt who is 84. If anything has me worried at the moment, its them getting sick and not being able to get the kind of care they would need to get them through say the flu or something similar.
Again, sorry if I misunderstood you, but im sure you know how many people are out there feeling like theyre too cool for school when it comes to this virus, and looking down on people who are concerned about it. I just want people to be informed and do their part in personal hygiene. Being in the military you know that situational awareness can go a long way.
