Looks like we're all fucked. Dave didn't kill us, the virus seems to be doing that. On a serious note, BE SAFE, WASH YOUR HANDS, 400 times a day if you must!

It's getting a bit serious fo sho. They've even cancelled the NBA season (I know zilch about basketball, but that doesn't look like a good sign).

Microbiologist here
Wash your hands a lot, don't go to large events, avoid touching your face and touching railings and things like that in public.
Death rate is very low in anybody under 60, except those with underlying conditions (asthma, COPD, etc)
However it is very transmissable one person can infect many this virus pandemic is growing exponentially and will likely infect most of the world. The name of the game right now is to buy time by avoiding transmission events and shutting down borders while scientists in industry and govt can develop vaccines for the virus -
Easier said than done, having to commute daily on trains during rush hour fucks up pretty much that whole list.

Buy some nitrile gloves and wear them on public commutes and take them off when you get to where you're going and wash your hands

Don't forget to double tap.
Am I preparing for the right virus? -
Dang Havok, I did not know your educational background- cool stuff!
Is wearing masks doing anything if you are not sick? I've seen so many people wearing masks on the train/subways, but as far as I know, it only helps if you're the one actually sick - it doesn't help you not get sick. Is that the case? -
You could all be infected already with mild symptoms and not even know it!
Right now hundreds more than the official figures are infected.
Tom Hanks and his wife are in lockdown after bringing the disease to Australia.

Correct it only really helps you not spread it. Though I don't see how it could really hurt to wear em. At best it helps stops you from contracting it at worst it does nothing :shrug:
Sky is partially right many of us could be carriers with few symptoms. There isn't enough testing to go around in most countries

In the us case Trump closing china travel early on bought us some time but it was squandered by the FDA and cdc not letting scoentists in Washington state repurpose flu test kits for covid. So we could have had many less cases if we didn't get fucked by the slow response of those govt agencies
