But also, at least 3,097 people out of the 80,699 have already died, and by the same measure, 20,283 of the confirmed have yet to recover.
- d0mine 7y agoThe death ratio should only increase as the medical resources are exhausted
- melling 7y agoIf the curve has flatlined in China and only 20,283 remain, China should not have a further problem with resources. The rest of the world, of course, is just getting started.
- geggam 7y agoWhat happens when infected soul from US / other place visits china ? Is there an immunity built up in infected people or does the clock reset ? You cant quarantine the world and expect a global economy to survive
- DailyHN 7y agoGotta love the people that see people dying and are most concerned about the economy.
- geggam 7y agoI am not worried about the economy as in I need to get rich ( Im not close) but realistically if no one is making money the impact of folks being out of work and unable to buy food starts to weigh in. The simple fact most countries are interdependent ( see : Toilet paper) is a real issue.
- gizmo686 7y agoHow do you think people get food, shelter, medicine, and other necessities? The rich can wait out a downturn. It is the poor who will struggle.
- vanniv 7y agoStopping the world economy will kill many millions more people than COVID-19 could dream of
- DailyHN 7y agoWhat does stopping the world economy entail?
- vanniv 7y agoIn the context of this post: the kind of quarantine where nobody is allowed to venture far from their homes. Where goods can't travel from where they are made to where they could be sold, or worse can't be made because nobody is allowed to leave home to go make them. Where we isolate each country from the others, each state/province/region, each everywhere. Where commerce is effectively ended due to the inability of people to participate in it.
- vanniv 7y agoIt's been 2 days, and already the food markets are running out. With no resupply available for weeks at a minimum, people are.going to get mighty hungry. Funny how quickly the HN crowd cheers for these incredible restrictions on life and freedom, and yet pretend not to favor totalitarianism
- d0mine 7y agoIf if the curve flattens for the World early, then obviously the medical resources won't be exhausted. I don't know how long the exponential growth might continue.
