When you truly study medicine, you realize there are very few actual cures that ever came out of the medical sciences.
Well win that the truth.
And when they actually do discover a cure, they hide it from the public and don’t teach doctors about it in medical school.
I suspect that I actually got it, so I just sitting at home doing nothing special
Gym is not a problem I have all the necessary equipment at home
Some alchohol, good music may come handy
Reading sosuave posts half year ago is funny, every body is banned
Many of those dudes are dudes who wanted to be banned, too, btw. As in, “I want to leave this website for god and not be tempted to come back—permaban me” lol
Here's how this will REALLY play out, as government ideas tend to do. (law of unintended consequences).
Governments do their best to tell people to stay inside, avoid public gatherings, close schools, etc.
As you said, the intention is to flatten the curve.
In response, people freak out and stock up on as much stuff as they can.
Last week, for example, plenty of Costco's were PACKED.
People prepare for self isolation, and in doing so, create insanely packed social environments.
This serves to compress, rather than flatten, the curve.
If the hospitalization ever DOES go beyond capacity, that's when people give up hope.
Even if it doesn't the long term damage to the economy will be CATASTROPHIC.
More than half of the population don't have $500 to their name, as they live paycheck to paycheck.
A couple weeks (likely longer) without a paycheck and the problems start to pile up.
Anybody's whose main source of income is the service industry (hotel, restaurant wait staff, strippers, bartending, etc. is going to get KILLED.
A MASSIVE drop in GDP and a subsequent MASSIVE recession is already baked into the cake.
Just adding to already stressful times.
The sad thing is that credit card companies and banks are gonna make hella money after when all things are said and done and everything goes away. People are gonna be behind on their bills and cause interest to pile up, and now they’re forever in debt. I know that in Illinois at least, they’re considering postponing all mortgages, car payments, and I believe utilities too. Not sure about taxes though, I think property tax is still something that you’ll have to pay no matter what lol cuz the IRS don’t play.
What makes you think there is one?
That’s a strawman, but correct.
You offered criticism, I’m asking what you suggest for solutions
I can suggest one:
Fix the economic system such that monetary gain isn’t the primary incentive for doing things. Use force if needed, death penalty and public executions in full effect to know that this is now serious. Medical schools for example—it should be a technical school where you learn explicitly what you have to know to be a doctor, and that’s it. Currently, doctors are forced to learn about things that are useless to them in the medical field, things like the Krebs Cycle have absolutely no merit in medicine and does not do anything for doctors. In doing so, we would only need about 2 years of schooling, maybe 1.5 years even, for someone to become a medical doctor. Currently, it requires a minimum of 8 years tho.
Pharmaceutical companies should focus on the cure, not on any treatment. There should be competition to undercut each other for cures by studying antibodies and antigens, along with the synthesis of these things. No medication should cost more than 40% of the cost to make before expenses, unless manufactured in the US, in which case it’d be 40% AFTER expenses; if a company wishes to purchase a service/good from a company outside the US, that company would have to allow itself to be investigated too in order to work with our US pharmaceuticals. This would prevent the offshoring of jobs and assets to overseas.
Big Tech should be broken up such that there is no bias in the system to be for or against anything. Cookies shouldn’t exist. The selling of personal and individual information should be banned.
The media should be held accountable for lies, misrepresentations, misquotations, exaggerations, improper paraphrasings, news distortions, and selective omissions. Again, death penalty and public executions in full effect.
The same goes for published scientific research/studies. So much data is bull****. Should be investigated by some religious Mormon who is afraid of telling lies or something lol.
etc. etc. etc...
