The government isn't a household. You have to ask where those 10% are taken from so we can spend them on maintenance. The smartest move would be to immediately slash military budget in half if not more. But it will likely be taken from

Thank you, today it seemed better until afternoon... now its back to tight chest and all. It might very well be psychosomatic but I dont dare to go out to a physician these days.

Hey, here with you. I have chest tightness (and sometimes a stabby pain) and it feels like I cannot breathe as well. Going on for almost two weeks now - no other symptoms at all. I called in with a physician and they said likely not covid,

For clarification, I went to the supermarket myself precisely because of the point you raised. My argument was more against the behavior that people display.

That's assuming that all reported cases make up all ACTUAL cases. This is likely completely wrong. What if a much much larger chunk of Italy is already infected and simply not showing symptoms? You would never get permission for a test

You could couple disinfecting against MRSA with vitamin D production by bombarding patients (and microorganisms) with UV rays. Also maybe invest in the skin cancer department.

Everything happening right now are delay strategies to get a vaccine / antiviral treatment. Before we can control this the economy will be shut down. Nothing will be like before, the financial stress in the global economy is too extrem

Western cities are extremely disgusting and dirty compared to Singapore, Tokyo or Taipeh. The moment I step out of a train arriving at central station it smells like piss and a bunch of drunk homeless people perform a spitting contest.

Today and yesterday I have seen countless people who just dont care. Viral pandemic currently causing society to shut down? Let's go meet in a cafe! And that's not even the, sorry, assholes at the supermarkets. It was insane today

Looking at the people happily strolling around and gathering in public cafes as if nothing was going on, I severely doubt it. (large city in Germany btw)

Are you scared that others will also get money, just like you? Any noble status to lose or something?? What is this comment? I seriously don't get it. Government money is money by the people for the people.

Way to escalate the situation. Let's see how well quarantine measures work and how the next 4 weeks pan out with the economy in hibernation. It will cost us dearly but I wouldn't say it's going to lead to rioting and WW3. If

Bioinformatician here (well, former): I would never say something is impossible but the way these things are tested right now, it pretty much is impossible. We need to amplify some molecules and run a process called PCR on them for which yo

> Secondly the mask only help avoiding spreading the virus from yourself to other and it doesn't protect from receiving the virus This is a large contribution for containment. Masks should be worn by anybody at this point.

Masks contain spread. They do not protect from it. So if you are sick, wear a mask. Here in Germany you still get publicly ridiculed for it.

If any official source, regardless of country, recommends to abstain from ibuprofen I would simply like to know. I neither live in the US nor think that scientists and medical personnel in other country are less educated or trained. I think

Why are you putting severe in quotation marks? What makes you feel qualified to give medical advice on an Internet forum? There might be negatives to taking ibuprofen in relation to COVID-19, but so far no official guidelines exist. Only in

Won't the effect of quarantine have a 5-14 day delay, as in we must wait out one cycle of incubation period before we see a decline in new numbers?

From now on, a serious pandemic will never be some weird future scenario ever again. It will be a politicized issue. We are seeing a real pandemic - something that has been the stuff of Hollywood movies for most in our generation. Maybe it&
