I'm glad we don't have crazy zombies
"The common trope of the zombies being undead with a craving for brains (or human flesh) is notably and deliberately averted in this film, pinning the reason for the devastation on the rage virus which turns people into violently aggressive killers - but this opens up a considerable plot hole: Why don't the rage victims kill each other? "Normal" zombies don't because the undead kill the living but the rage-infected seem to act more like a dog in the final stage of rabies, attacking anything that moves and/or makes noise - the infected have no reason not to attack each other."

They are racist zombies. They only want to kill non infected

Estimates of excess deaths puts the UK death toll at double the reported 20k. It's likely similar across the hardest hit areas with the worst responses and environmental conditions(high density, high pollution, aging pop.).

Pheromones secreted by the infected. There problem solved.

Famotidine: New York hospitals studying heartburn drug as Covid-19 treatment - CNN
Popular heartburn medicine being studied as treatment for coronavirus
New York hospitals testing heartburn drug Pepcid as potential coronavirus treatment
Media pimping this today.


Ranitidine was pulled off the market over the last year.

Everyone moved to its cousing Famotidine thus causing shortages there. I still run into med shortages on this right now and its one of the only broadly made/available acid reflux meds I can use in my pregnant patients. I look forward to the next shortage creation thanks to media needing something to write about today.

Are you really surprised that a state that doesn't even have 900k residents, less than most major cities, spread out over a much larger area, didn't have to institute the same measures other, more densely populated places did?

For a topical reference...
S dakota has less than 1/4 the population density of sweden
The DFW metroplex has over 7 million people and is bigger than some states. It's also better than all other states.

I think he's a great representative of the average brit.
now he's saying that this is legit and to 'contain your impatience' on lifting restrictions - because the risk of a 2nd wave crushing Public Health and Markets is real. He's also calling for a slow roll-out of business and services...but not starting today.

So by your logic, lower populated areas should not be forced to wear masks or social distance then? Because a shit ton of those places are forced to do that. And businesses in those areas are being fucked over

Some states only have a few populated areas but the whole state is shut down

Is anywhere being forced to wear masks in the sense they will be arrested and/or fined?

With respect, anyone who refers to the place they live as a 'metroplex' definitely takes it up the ass.

That's what the area is called.....I didn't make it up.
Why do you use homosexual sex acts as a means to attempt to insult someone? Why are you being so homophobic?

I hope whatever is bothering you get's better and you become a happier person.

Iowa is fairly low population density, but there are places where entire communities get together for work...packing plants, distribution centers...and there might only be one grocery store and two gas stations in town that everybody uses. So there are a lot of opportunities to spread disease if people aren't wearing masks, sanitizing public spaces, and enacting contact tracing.

I don't think this is the kind of thing where you bear the burden for a month, and then everything goes back to normal - no matter where you live.
