Thread: TERRIFYING!! Why Trump flipped on this virus! This explains it all!

:kermit reaction:

I'm technically still on vacation right now, but it was decided today to close my office effective tomorrow until at least 4/1, at which point things will be reassessed. So, now I'll be working from home and doing some things over the phone vs. in person. We had to cancel a big event we had coming up next month too, which is a bummer. Since I had already taken these first few days of the week off, now I need to go into the office tomorrow to get my laptop and some other stuff I'll need!

Overall, people are really making an effort here to isolate. I read some tweet yesterday that during the Spanish flu STL was really good about social isolating whereas Philly was not, and the difference in deaths was significantly lower in STL as a result. Here's an article about it, and about social isolating in general.


This chart of the 1918 Spanish flu shows why social distancing works

In 1918, the city of Philadelphia threw a parade that killed thousands of people. Ignoring warnings of influenza among soldiers preparing for World War I, the march to support the war effort drew 200,000 people who crammed together to watch the procession. Three days later, every bed in Philadelphia’s 31 hospitals was filled with sick and dying patients, infected by the Spanish flu.

By the end of the week, more than 4,500 were dead in an outbreak that would claim as many as 100 million people worldwide.

A different story played out in St. Louis, just 900 miles away. Within two days of detecting its first cases among civilians, the city closed schools, playgrounds, libraries, courtrooms, and even churches. Work shifts were staggered and streetcar ridership was strictly limited. Public gatherings of more than 20 people were banned.

The extreme measures—now known as social distancing, which is being called for by global health agencies to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus—kept per capita flu-related deaths in St. Louis to less than half of those in Philadelphia, according to a 2007 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
