The COVID-19 pandemic

[plam]

Hard to say what effects the previous changes have, but unless they have a major effect, we're pretty close to guaranteed achieving records, it will take at minimum 2-3 weeks for new policies to start affecting case counts.

This is why we shut down so quickly in March, it's sad to see we've forgotten those lessons.

Different age group being affected this time around. Mostly under 40's, the group that doesn't really give a crap. If there is a bright side, they're less likely to end up in the hospital and less likely to die.

What's not so good: we don't know the affects of this illness longterm.

I read an estimate of 10% of cases being long-haul COVID but no one really knows. The bright side works a bit, but it doesn't protect the older people that they then interact with.
