I see a lot of African countries are now starting to be added as well and reporting cases, I think the next 2-3 weeks will be an interesting test case to see how Africa as a continent deals with a disease that is only stopped by social distancing and not coming into contact with people who are infected

Coronavirus-Related Shutdowns Leave Series Without Finales, Create Dilemma For ‘Empire’ & ‘Supernatural’

In just one week, the coronavirus outbreak swept through the TV business, from a cause for concern last Monday to canceling wrap parties midweek to shutting down virtually every series and pilots by Friday. Because of the timing — mid-March, all broadcast series still in production were close to wrapping their seasons. The shutdowns came so quickly as the situation was deteriorating rapidly that most shows suspended filming mid-episode.

For many series, including all or almost all CBS, NBC and the CW shows and some ABC and Fox ones, a decision was made right away that this was it for the current seasons, and the remaining 1-2 episodes won’t be filmed this spring. As the COVID-19 outbreak situation remains uncertain and unpredictable, holding onto the crews for weeks in hope to film one more episode is hard to justify financially, and restarting production involves a big expense too.

The long list of the series that stopped short of filming the last episode)s) of the season includes NBC’s Superstore, whose finale was supposed to be farewell episode of star America Ferrera. It also includes CBS’ NCIS franchise, Bull, FBI, SEAL Team, S.W.A.T., Young Sheldon, Bob Hearts Abishola and The Neighborhood, NBC’s Chicago franchise, Law & Order: SVU and New Amsterdam, the CW’s The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, Riverdale, Dynasty and Nancy Drew, ABC’s The Goldbergs, Schooled and American Housewife and Fox’s Last Man Standing.

There are a handful of series hoping against hope to go back and finish their orders, like ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, which has four more episodes to shoot, NBC’s The Blacklist, which has three and a half, and Fox’s The Resident, with the odds of that happening diminishing every day. But no need to shoot the remaining episodes is as urgent as that for Fox’s Empire and the CW’s Supernatural, which are 1.5-2 episodes short on their final seasons.

No no, nobody said anything about messing with series.

This is just a step too far.

We can ignore Pitbull - he has absolutely no idea whats cracking and none of us are going to be able to convince him otherwise. He either wont learn, or will only learn the hard way - sadly.

Unfortunately, seems like it's only a handful of people who actually realise that it's unstoppable and the figures actually backs up that it's not as bad as you all make it out to be. The more positive tests they have, the more the mortality rate drops. Your immune system does fight off the disease and there are only 2 cases I recall of re-infection. However that is still up for debate.

But you can ignore me, I can't be arsed. I have just as much a right to have a voice than you do. Just funny how the more this is spreading and more tests coming in, it's actually leaning more in my favor and pulling away from yours. But as you where

You're so blinded by your own arrogance it's staggering. Let's assume you are correct and 80% of the beds are cleared to just treat COVID-19 patients. Where do you believe the doctors will come from that will treat the patients? This is while the doctor population is also being infected? Where will the ventilators and oxygen come from to treat the influx of patients? No hospital is geared to switch on every oxygen supply for every bed. So please keep focusing on your logical fallacies to try to prove your invalid points. In 4 weeks time you will see how wrong you are today.

SO no source then. A made up number from your imagination. Like most of your posts

I think he is largely correct.
I cannot provide actual numbers, but over the last 3 yrs or so I have spent a significant amount of time at Chris Barnard hospital, Cape Town Medi Clinic and Vincent Pallotti hospital.
Overwhelming majority of patients are there for scheduled minor invasive procedures

You can keep on typing essays and assume I give two tits... I don't.

Elective surgery has accounted for more than 50% of medical income in the US alone. (That's elective surgery) Not even going by non-emergency surgeries like broken limbs, hip replacements and the likes. But I somehow need to prove this to you... I don't I can't be arsed, you are welcome to the public information yourself.

As for your second point:

First models with very limited tests available showed 20% needs hospitilisation, the more tests came in the more that figure dropped, it's now at around 6% with around 200k confirmed cases. It WILL drop lower if you follow the trend. I'm of the opinion that it would probably be 1% if not less once most of this has flown over.

So bring on 4 weeks, bring on 52 weeks. This virus isn't going anywhere, you or completely deluded if you assume for one second this virus is going to stop or that a vaccine will eradicate it. It's here to stay. Vaccines will be made just like the flu vaccine which would reduce the severity which is already only around 1% with vaccinations.

Wake the fark up and smell the coffee...

You will get sick and probably not even know you had Corona, and that will be the case for about 99% of the world population. Your little hysteria is your problem, not mine.
