There was no general thread on Covid-19, and I feel one is needed. He we can follow the pandemic as it continues to develop. Politics goes to the politics forums, and toilet paper and other shopping woes should go to the toilet paper hysteria thread.
As of right now, there are 286 799 confirmed cases worldwide, with 11 889 deaths.
That means we have passed the total number of deaths from Ebola, and it seems it has just started.
China, where the virus first appeared, seems to have the disease under control, but only managed to do so by quite draconian measures. South Korea also managed to gain control, by strict isolation.
The epicenter of the disease is now Europe, with descriptions that seem apocalyptical coming from Italy, and it's looking like Spain is soon to follow.
Even with extreme measures, the number of deaths are rising all over Europe.
We're also seeing deaths rise fast in the USA.
How long can countries be in lockdown? And how long is required? Will the economy break before then?
My fear is, and I don't think I'm alone in this, that it's just starting. It will get worse, a lot worse, before it's done. Even though the disease isn't that deadly, we only need to look to Italy to see that even with this low of a mortality rate, it can wreak havoc on any country.
