COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 open thread
When's the peak expected in your neighborhood? Do you plan to hunker down when it arrives or take your chances?
If you're a Brit, how do you feel about your government's diabolical plan to have you inoculated against SARS-CoV-2 many months before a vaccine is available? It's certainly an interesting experiment, and it might just work, but at what cost?
To be honest, I'm very concerned. This isn't anything like the average flu. Just look at what's already happening in Lombardy, one of the wealthiest parts of Italy and Europe.
Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. However, please note that conspiracy theories are against the rules at this blog. The awesome map below is from nextstrain.org.
Update 18/03/2020: It looks like the UK government health experts read this blog and got their government to change its policy (see here). Many other countries, including the US, are also now taking more serious steps to halt the spread of COVID-19. But will it be enough, and can the global economy handle the pressure?

There you go. Retraction of your incorrect statements will be gracefully accepted.
Looking in retrospective the hysteria & paranoia of ppl who were supposed to be the rational leaders in Italy became as letal as Covid and in places as Bergamo even worse. Italians are the biggest victims in Europe objectively & also objectively in general selfresponsible for own death risk, not at all because of not masking or hiding enough or so large elderly population but because of biggest vitamin D deficiency in Europe, simply self earned with bad habits & diet (despite endless supply of sun). The opposite case can be made about Japanese (with system taking care of all deficiency & successfully promoting healthy lifestyle, even despite rat-race & improper sleep patterns & workoholism - when you see population choosing sugar-free green tea cans over hyped colourful sugar with water you know the people are smarter than others..).
Now we also know the other letal factor in Covid are politicians with their ignorance, mental dependence on selfchosen experts & business relations. At least 2 effective genetic drugs one starting with Hydroxy second with Iverme were under fire for political (in reality business related) reasons. They were called unsafe & untested (despite being known & used for DECADES) then blacklisted, shadowbanned & froze from testing or directly attacked with fake studies. In the meanwhile ppl were dying. Somehow after many months of pandemics when experimental gene altering drugs misnamed vaccines were introduced nobody said anything against mass use of them nor about lack of any legal guarantees in case this experiment becoming a mayor global human gmo fk up (like a not sure but probable one with gain of function in vivo tests on letal coronavirus officially planned in late 2019 in wuhan).
2020 was a major worldwide eye opener event. We still keep them wide open, some in shock & disbelief, some in disgust on range of freedoms stolen & lifelong trusted scientific authorities compromitation, some in a fully justified anger or authentic scare of how far the madness can still progress. Agent Smith was right while matrix becomes more real the passing day. We are only batteries harvested by the system, products designed to have a minimal lifespan, disposable at will, fully managable, fully cooperative & shapable at will, delusional humanoids.
