Will humidity? Probably not. Path to containment is social distancing. We've seen so in China and South Korea. Everything else is probably magical thinking.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1237614708930367489 …
I'm going on the world's most stable limb and saying that the UK will reverse this "herd immunity" strategy shortly.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1238537513242955779 …
7 deaths, 693 passengers, 1% death rate for (generally older) cruise ship passengers. Could get higher. Updates are few and far between now.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1234686714318213126 …

Yet another nail in the warm weather will stop #COVID19 coffin:
All clubs, restaurants, and bars in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam are to be closed starting today.
“44 cases” says Vietnam. Bullshit.
Only district 1. Forgot to write that. My bad. District 1 though is like HCMC's manhattan if there were a thing.

This is huge, but I don’t see how this is going to fix the huge economic problems we face. https://twitter.com/nicktimiraos/status/1239295384587055105?s=21 …https://twitter.com/NickTimiraos/status/1239295384587055105 …
China will ban (or heavily regulate) its wet markets, making West Africa bush meat markets the principal breeding ground for new viruses in this age of interconnection. Despite our improved medical care and hygiene, higher populations and travel may mean more outbreaks.
Serbia asks China, not the EU nor the US, for help. Watershed moment or a friend in need is a friend indeed. Mix of both, but I'm going to say the former. This is a major turning point.https://twitter.com/RushDoshi/status/1239645067066978311 …
As we adopt work from home procedures at companies all over the United States, I wonder: Is that even a possibility for our government agencies? Can the IRS and others work from home? Some of their websites operate 9-to-5, do they even have cloud storage of shared files?
My old barber worked in a "salon suites" - basically wework for barbers. It's closing because of the virus, so he's texted everyone saying that he's setting up in his apartment. I dig the entrepreneurial spirit, but this shows you how hard containment will be.
After talking to a (young) buddy of mine who probably had #COVID19 (all symptoms, no covid test, but flu etc. all negative), it's worth saying that even if you survive, you don't want it:
- we still don't know if it causes permanent damage
- it will immobilize you for a while
#COVID19 will hurt credibility of the American media.
- "it's just the flu"
- "it's just a bad flu"
- "masks don't work"
- And now: "your money is safest in a bank, don't withdraw it!"
I trust some journalists, but the industry is generally technically-illiterate and dishonest.
Japan is a consummately modern country with a fantastic reputation, but their coronavirus positive test data is bullshit, just like China's. Culture matters in how you address a problem like this. So does the Olympics...https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/03/22/national/science-health/japan-coronavirus-testing/ …
Great thread on why cases in Japan are low compared to surrounding countries https://twitter.com/hironorifunabi1/status/1241734715175993345?s=21 …https://twitter.com/HironoriFunabi1/status/1241734715175993345 …
I continue to be very perplexed by Japan's numbers. Can't contact trace over 1,000 infections. According to people I know, it's hard to get masks in Japan as well. I guess Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore are showing us that moderate social distancing after containment works.
Who will be the "Fabulous Fab" of the Great Pandemic of 2020? The insignificant scapegoat we blame for government mismanagement of this crisis, resulting in huge numbers of dead? The public demands a scapegoat.pic.twitter.com/UTFtUqWEj7
I literally called the top on feb 12 aka blind squirrel finds nut. This rise in the markets is crazy. IMHO, bull trap. Big business has not yet started to fail and is likely to. High unemployment. Stimulus won't work well. We are far from the bottom.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1227748919653937154 …
Very not good. Virus may be coming back in China. Ugh. https://twitter.com/mikesmithafr/status/1243048672637489154?s=21 …https://twitter.com/MikeSmithAFR/status/1243048672637489154 …
Unless the virus mutates to become more deadly, #COVID19 will never be as bad in in the United States as it is in NYC right now.
- dense
- public transport
- many places of worship
- cold (good climate for transmission)
Strong supporting evidence that the Chinese numbers are fake (duh). Increasing evidence that the virus is ramping up again in China after loosening of restricts. Going to be a very long year folks.https://twitter.com/cowboyInNY/status/1243541979138580481 …
I'm generally of the opinion that the economic stimulus is not going to work as well as people are hoping. Basically, the idea is: no amount of money or gift cards, whatever, will create the impulse to buy a cruise ticket or go to a restaurant.
It's important to know that things like this happen. 1945-2020 was an unusually good period in the West. Almost no hardship or big disasters. How much stimulus do we pump into the system when we don't get a summer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer …
If this is true, NYC is going to get wiped out by this bug. 50% positive rate? Must be a ton of undiagnosed cases. https://twitter.com/antonioregalado/status/1243626438500192263 …
I'm pretty blown away right now. I see videos of people on subways in NYC and that city is not taking nearly the precautions they need to. NYC might, real talk, be worse than Wuhan soon.
We spent about $6,000 on a booth at New York Toy Fair on Feb 22-25. I cancelled our attendance on Feb 16, disappointing and perplexing my employees, business contacts, etc. It's nothing compare to what HCW face, but it wasn't an easy decision at the time. Looks great now.pic.twitter.com/73sWpbhwJT
Assuming the virus does not cause recurring infection or mutate regularly like the flu, a country which reaches herd immunity first has a huge advantage in war. Medical supply chain is another wartime advantage. Coronavirus will be a catalyst for invasion or revolution somewhere.
After this crisis passes we will at least pay lip service to revamping our medical supply chain. We'll probably do something very incompetently. But as a nation we won't think generally about the next risk. What are the other existential threats to humanity that we are ignoring?
