/sci/ - Science & Math

thank you to all the scientists in the vaccine field across the globe, my boomer parents are getting the vaccine soon and it really puts my mind at ease
you guys are very based

>implying I want a job
Guess how many months I've worked since 2016. 4. I'm doing it because I have nothing better to do. Fuck off

90% of /sci/. It's over for you, Weeb. Guess you could say, The Game was rigged from the start. No tears, only coofs now.

They're lying, there's at 40k cases that weren't included in the current estimate.

>More than 43,000 people in China had tested positive for Covid-19 by the end of February but had no immediate symptoms, a condition typically known as asymptomatic, according to the data. They were placed in quarantine and monitored but were not included in the official tally of confirmed cases, which stood at about 80,000 at the time.

I'm more apt to believe the death count in China is under reported too. More than likely at least 6-7k total are dead there but not advertised.

I see the /pol/vid-19 spread to other boards.
Thank God, I put on my suit.

Send the zoomers to Italy for spring break. I heard they have lovely weather this time of year.

>Not once in my entire lifetime (I'm only just under 30 though) have I seen actual educated health officials, epidemiologists, and doctors shitting themselves like this. Literally no one gave a fuck about Ebola or Zika, and MERS was noted to be non-pandemic b/c high fatality rate --> poor transmissibility.

No one gave a shit about Ebola because it showed easy to identify symptoms, killing the host preventing wide spread infection and the source was ill-cooked bush meat which the civilized doesn't into anymore. Zika's big thing was fucking over pregnant women who got infected.

Meanwhile Covid 19 basically exist as a big fuck you to the health care industry by hijacking herd immunity theory. A bunch of healthy people naturally protect the sick by reducing the chain of transmission that could feasibly reach them otherwise. But Covid 19 is different, it backdoors this process by making all the healthy people unsuspected carriers and picks off the sick with little attention to itself. Thus the healthy can unwittingly ignore it while the sick are galvanized by it.

The health care industry can't deal with such a virus because it requires mass scale scanning/rapid testing of the population. Which has not been done to such a degree thus experts are shitting themselves.

Not him but they probably do exist. The issue is that...

1.)can the virus make the species jump?
2.)is the virus highly volatile from surviving a more overactive immune system from the original animal it came from?

If either of these is a "no" then it will not be as bad as Ebloa, SARS or Corvid 19.

Apologies right now to our based biology bros for looking down on us and maybe, just maybe, we won't let you coof.

Is it possible to get degrees in electrical engineering, computer science, and economics all at once?
