"In order to support those affected by the virus, Nicaragua’s government has organized massive public rallies across the country under the slogan "Love Walk in the Time of Covid-19," resembling the title of the novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “Love in the Time of Cholera.”

Nicaragua so far has no confirmed cases.

They look like poor desperate people!

Fearing incentivizing case numbers by World bank tying amount of financial help to case numbers.. then you get this..
Can’t help but wonger.

This has been posted many, many times. I think everyone here is taking it seriously.

Actually, a report that half of critical care patients in France are under 60 is news. I don't recall any other country that has cited such an affect on people under 60.

Netherlands has said the same. 50% under 50 so far.

Twitter reports? Where is this information coming from?

If so then westerners are way more wasted then chinese at this age..

A lot of study abroad students are coming home. I expected this.

Study abroad? They had a freaking St Pattricks Day parade in New Orleans on Saturday! They basically held the Philadelphia war bonds parade. What a bunch of idiots that didn’t learn from history. Even Ireland cancelled their festivities!

Who runs New Orleans?

My mistake, they cancelled the parade. They are *only* holding block parties.

Broward County has clusters of under 30 cases from cruise ship workers and study-abroad students.
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/coronavirus/fl-ne-coronavirus-florida-events-updates-20200315-ehx53hs3cnaaximjhlqjrp4utm-story.html

Broward County maintained its position as the state’s leader, with 36 of the state’s total of 136 cases. Several workers serving cruise ships at Port Everglades were found to be infected. Another cluster occurred among six students at Nova Southeastern University who recently returned from a study-abroad trip to Ireland. Other cases remain under investigation.

Of the 16 new cases in Broward County, seven were classified as travel-related, suggesting that the rest might have been through community spread. Experts say the worst is yet to come, with some estimates calling for the pandemic to last two months. At the current rate, Broward County alone could see more than 800 cases in the next two weeks.

At this point no one on the planet should be boarding cruise ships. There are currently at least 3 ships around the world stuck at sea with Coronavirus cases. People have not got the message to stop getting on?

I wonder if at some point, loosing some life is what has to happen to get things back to normal. What I mean is that concerns of job loss, collapsed economies, which drive looting and killing to survive, out weight the potential death of elderly and those with compromised immunity. Assuming those people do not lock themselves in their homes to avoid people. Just pondering.

I’ve pondered this too. I don’t think there has been enough consideration to the ramifications of shutting society down indefinitely. Just to slow the spread.

The UK has pondered this. It is their plan. They say to expect the coronavirus to be with us, killing some people until spring 2021.
