Many of my colleagues are still wondering why we are reacting so strongly about this but we ignored H1N1 that actually killed young healthy people.

The other half are freaking out and stocking up on toilet paper for Armageddon.

I am now the care coordinator of a senior behavioral health unit set all my patients are 65 or older And they don't take care of themselves very well because they either have dementia or they've has some sort of mental illness for 50+ years.

People are pretty upset that we cannot test our cases. Another major hospital around here has at least 6 quarantined per my friend.

Unprecedented really. There’s never been in our history this type of speed in the response.

Trump REALLY cares about the market optics. He does a coranavirus conference and literally brings binders full of CEOs.

Bunch of people in the age range risk who are not taking care of themselves well. You can be sure they're even more susceptible than the average elderly population.

I hope things don't go bad for you the people you care for. In this situation are you able to tell family members to fuck off and not visit for the time being?

This virus could have been stopped if people took it seriously from the start. There are now far too many cases for containment of the disease so we've just got to delay it the best we can. Even then, it'll be endemic in the population and come back in the winter to kill millions of the elderly. The best case scenarios show we'll lose at least a few hundred thousand people.

who is the "they" that should have been taking it seriously from the start? New Yorkers? Italians?

Carolyn Wang, communications lead for Verily, told The Verge that the “triage website” was initially only going to be made available to health care workers instead of the general public. Now that it has been announced the way it was, however, anybody will be able to visit it, she said. But the tool will only be able to direct people to “pilot sites” for testing in the Bay Area, though Wang says Verily hopes to expand it beyond California “over time.”
