  • If we can slow the virus down, it could save hundreds of thousands of lives.
    Read more about the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic at vox.com/coronavirus
    In March 2020, the World Health Organization officially classified Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, as a pandemic. That means the disease no longer constitutes just an outbreak or even an epidemic; the coronavirus has now spread around the world, and will continue to reach into other countries and communities.
    That’s in part because of how contagious the virus is. When you’re infected with the flu, it takes about two days before you start to show symptoms. But coronavirus symptoms take an average of five to six days to appear, so it’s easy to spread well before you notice that you’re feeling sick. Many people are spreading it while going about their daily lives as usual.
    The risk is that once coronavirus starts to spread in a community, about 20% of cases are severe and may require hospitalization. As those cases multiply, hospitals can fill up quickly. And people with severe cases of COVID-19 who can’t receive proper medical attention are at a much higher risk of dying.
    Ideally, we would be able to stop the virus from spreading entirely. We can’t do that right now. What we can do is slow it down, so that the severe cases get spread out over a longer period of time, and hospitals are less likely to be overwhelmed on any given day. And that’s where each one of us comes in. The best way to slow down the spread is for everyone - healthy, sick, young, old - to limit social contact as much as possible, immediately. This is called social distancing, and it only works if enough of us do it. But if we do, it could mean the difference between the life and death of someone you know.

    People in third world countries can't afford social distancing and don't have jobs that they could do from home. Which is why they still go out and work in public. Because getting food on the table is still the primary objective of the family. Starving isn't an option for them, so they risk going out despite the virus.

      Not necessarily, I live in a third world country, any government employee gets fully paid without going to work, except for essential workers (doctors, nurses, police officers, etc...) and anyone working in the private sector gets paid from 100% to 50% of his full wage while all business are closed, people with part time jobs are getting food and essentials packages from the government, with monthly payment, and now that people don't go out and don't go to work, the spending is on the down, so we are getting food on the table without the need to go to work, and I live in a dirt poor country, so I don't think your logic applies to all third world countries, and this an instance where we realize why "third-world" is an outdated term, there is nothing in common between so called third world countries

      Exactly, foreigners in my country of Vietnam never wear mask at public places. While all locals are wearing mask when going outside, foreigners justify not wearing mask because it will only prevent patients spreading the disease and because they feel "healthy", they don't need to wear any mask. They don't realise that they could be carrying the disease and are unknowingly spreading it to other people. There have been recorded cases in my country where 2 British tourists traveled to Vietnam with Covid-19 and then spreading it to other people in areas where they've traveled to because they didn't take any precautions like wearing mask at public places. The government now demand everyone to wear mask as one way to stop Covid-19 from spreading, even foreigners have to wear mask too.

    The trillion dollar bill they are taking out to help the economy need to be given to these 5 places to help society run and close everything else down: Electricity, Water, food/grocery, and health care... every one else’s bills are HALTED, No rent or Mortgage. no one owes anyone for the next 2 months. If no one owes anyone, no one has to work and no one stresses. Everyone can stay home and quarantine. This will also reduce the awful lay offs happening. As well as reduce potential crime and violence, as gun sales are at an all time high today with people anticipating having to protect themselves. We can avoid all this, taking scarcity and survival mentality off of everyone. This would be a good starting point.

      We won't be able to reduce the infection rate to 0. Sadly they'll be infections and deaths, but by reducing the contact you flatten the curve. Lets put it this way: your local cashier might infect you, but without social distances you'd be infecting even more people at your office/ school/bar etc... if you stay home you'll infect your family at the very most, and not 10 other families.
      Stay safe!
