Hi [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION]

Well, what I can say for now is that I'm kinda following things about covid. There is this podcast about international politics which changed their main subject to covid because, well, there isn't much being said about other things over the world. Analyzing the data (not just the ones they present on the podcast - which alway has good sources btw - but the ones from Brazil, presented by official health ministery channel) covid is definetely not flu alike. Some symptoms are alike, yeah, but the way it affect the body is clearly different. I'm saying this, but our President, Bolsonaro is using all the situation just like Trump, turning it in a political matter, when it's a health one. I'll not enter on a political analisys here or either send you things based on my bias but this is fact. For Trump, kinda makes sense btw as elections are planned for this year.

One more thing that put flu and covid apart is the death rate and this go right in the "I didn't met anyone which has suffered from covid". Taking New York numbers, for covid and flu to have the same (or close) death rates, at least all of the New York population would had to suffer from covid. But when we look to New York death rate (and this is death rate per confirmed case which is differently from death rate per infection) we, in fact, see covid killing 10 ~ 20 times more than flu. So, if everyone in New York had caught covid, this would mean covid ~ flu (but we are extrapolating that we know all and each one that was infected). The projection, however, based on all tests made, is that only 1/4 of New Your population was infected.

China applied lockdown real quick on Wuhan and tbh I didn't see much being talk about Romania, but I know that there are only a few countries which handled things so great that they are already opening or studing how to open activities again namely South Korea, Vietnam, New Zealand, Germany and China too (although it was where it all began, well it has a lot less infection cases and deaths than many places - Brazil included. We already have +100k cases and +7k deaths here. Brazil didn't do lockdown. Many states and cities tried to quarantine by themselves but it wasn't supported by Bolsonaro and now things are getting real ugly economically and financially too, so they are considering the reopening of the activities even so we are still climbing the curve. One more thing, Brazil is only testing bad cases, having one of the lowest test per million of the world. Studies shows that we're already as bad as USA, or close, with at least +1M cases because of undernotification on this matter. Look to Brazil in the next 1 or 2 months. If we reopen, probably things will get ugly here and I'm talking about real real ugly).

Well, Sweden is a place where they didn't quarantine or even talked about a lockdown, not by the government at least. It's already have more deaths caused by covid than the other Nord countries. It's a place to look to see how things can get ugly or not. There are other places also: Turkmenistan, where the word coronavirus was prohibited or even Belarus, where the President Lukashenko said they only needed some time on the steam room and vodka, but I don't know how believable would be the information about cases in those places. Probably Sweden will be the best place to look what happens if governments threats covid like flu.

Oh btw I think wasn't clear about the "I didn't met anyone which has suffered from covid". Using the numbers we know, for the flu to cause any community awareness (like "someone from my social circle caught the flu") it need to infect at least 3 or 4 million in my state, São Paulo (Brazil numbers. It will definitely change based on country population). Well, even if we consider that all places are undernotificating because of tests and its real number worldwide is 10 times greater than the one from WHO (right now is 3.68 million) we would count 36.8 million and this is real low when comparing against flu which causes ~700k deaths per year in the whole world. Considering death 700k deaths are 0.5 (this is probably lower), we would have 140k infected by flu. Per year. We are only in the beginning of the fifth month with covid. Deaths are already at 258k (not considering the undernotification, this could be ten times higher too). Now about "why this new coronavirus": because it spreads fast and kills a lot (SARS from early 2000's didn't spread as fast as this and MERS from Middle East doesn't either although them were/are deadlier - MERS still a thing but only on Middle East). And when it doesn't kill, it makes the health system to break (we're not far from this to happen here) because people need ventilators and intensive treatment which is certainly not the majority of disposable treatment out there. Well, let's see how this turn out to be in a few months. I really hope it not to be as bad as it seems or as bad as I made it seem with this walltext lol

About payments in Brazil - this would need another walltext
