Playing Vampyr these days. Strangely fitting as a possible worst-case scenario plague setting, and the protagonist is a vampire surgeon with access to bone saws. Oh did you mean multiplayer games?
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
I would say Ring Fit Adventure or any game where you get some exercise. Family games like the wii sports etc...
I am assuming people are at home with their families.
Daily exercise is key to maintaining not only physical health but mental health in time of crisis, and with families stuck together for weeks - mental health is the biggest challenge - especially after several weeks.
Just my 2c
If you dont have easy access to parks (gyms are a no-no) - family exercise type games are the best now.
Imagine not having a home gym lol
I do a day push-ups, next chin-ups and rest. Chin-ups might be tough unless you have a sturdy bar you can use, but push-ups, sit-ups and other workouts can be done easily with no equipment.
Don't forgot to do your squat thrusts....(gah I hated those in PE class)

Well it's a sunny day here everyday now since the lockdown in Rome Italy and I want to go to the park. I used to go everyday with my cousin who plays too and is a member of this forum too. We go for about 2 and 1/2 hours and we miss it so much.
Cannot really enjoy all the game time when I cannot enjoy the blue skies and sunshine.

Italy has been crazy, with a 5% fatality rate, where 1 out of every 20 people who got COVID-19 have died, that is the second highest fatality rate in the world (First being the Philippians).
I wager it's a nightmare over there. Stay safe!
To clarify, fatality (or death) rates fluctuate based on number of people tested, generally going down as more are tested. Two weeks ago the US was at 6.9%, now it is far less.
Also, fatality rates are not predictors of the risk of dying (mortality rate) from the disease.
"The death rate of a disease is different from its mortality rate, which is the number of deaths out of the number of people in an at-risk population. A death rate is not a reflection of the likelihood that a given person will die.
According to Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, COVID-19's mortality rate is probably around 1%, which is still about 10 times the flu's."

Gotta love it now that the spring breakers who said they do not care are coming down with covid-19 (edited the racial stupidity)
"It only affects the elderly and boomers".... woops turns out to affects everyone, look how many 20 year olds are in ICU on ventilators.
I mean this is exactly what happens when masses spread total bullshit and then believe their own bullshit as truth.
Also the latest data shows that those who have been in critical condition even after recovery from covid-19 continue to have respirstory issues due to lung tissue damage.
So it's a gift that keeps on giving.
Look at how many? How many? What percentage? Yes....you do have to be careful with what you are spreading. Implying 20 year-olds are making up a substantial number of those requiring critical care is going to cause panic. Take this seriously, but the fact is older people are the ones who are most affected. The chances you will become critically ill or die as a young healthy person are very slim....BUT you need to take the same precautions as to stop it spreading and killing the vulnerable. No other message needs to be passed.
"Patients who have required critical care have tended to be older (median age ≈60 years), and 40% have had comorbid conditions, commonly diabetes and cardiac disease"
Gotta love it now that the spring breakers who said they do not care are coming down with the (edited asshattery) Flu.
Please tell me you are not in the U.S. Navy with that racist bullshit.
For God's sake... How is a comment about "20 year olds" even remotely "racist?" Exactly what race are these 20 year olds, so maligned?
The flippancy of people tossing about "racism/racist" is beyond retarded.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. - FARGIN_WAR

Younger Adults Make Up Big Portion of Coronavirus Hospitalizations in U.S.
New C.D.C. data showed that nearly 40 percent of patients sick enough to be hospitalized were aged 20 to 54. But the risk of dying was significantly higher in older people"
That is what I am saying - younger people are also getting hospitalized with critical conditions in US.
Sure elderly with underlying conditions are at highest risk of death, but this whole nonsense being spread around how younger people are immune to it is total horseshit
Also after these folks recover they are not back to 100% health - every critical case has longterm respiratory issues that linger on
Bottom line- younger people are getting seriously ill and even after release from the hospital are not back to normal - shortness of breath, cough, decreased lung capacity can linger for months and years depending on how severely lung tissue was damaged
Hospitalized and critically ill requiring a vent are two very different things. You were very specific in stating 20 year olds on vents. I agree, anyone passing on info that young people should not take this seriously is an idiot.

What I said has nothing to do with the global fatality of the disease itself. It was that in Italy, 5% of the people that contracted this virus have died, that is some Apocalypse level scary shit going on in Italy right now. That is higher than China, which is at roughly 3.8% and going down.
So, if you live in Italy, right now, this is something to be really worried about.
If you lived in say Norway, where out of a 1000± cases, they have had 1 death so far, which gives them a 0.1% fatality rate, I am sure COVID-19, is more a joke then a worry.
What is going on in the rest of the world has no bearing on the panic that is going on in Italy right now. To give you an ideas, In Italy, today 3/19/2020, there are 31,506 Total Cases, with 3,526 new cases just confirmed as of yesterday. A Total of 2,503 deaths, and 345 people died from this since yesterday... I stand corrected.. it's now at 7.9% fatality in Italy.
To get an idea of the panic level insanity that is going on in Italy right now, in one day they have more new cases of COVID-19, then America has total.
I get that is not indicative of the rest of the world, but it does not change what is going on there, and my wishing anyone living in Italy my support and care, and take every measure they can to be safe.
Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.

And people are treating this like its a punishment.
I know right? My wife will say, the pool needs cleaning, or time to rake up the leaves in the yard and I can say, "oh no dear, didn't you see on the news, we are supposed to hunker down and stay in doors."
I mean, what if one of the neighbors saw me out there and came over to talk to me?
Might have to whack them with the rake or something to keep them back.
Me these days. Especially love the screaming crowd, very appropriate, yes? Looks like the parking lot of my local Super Walmart.

I don't mind staying at home and playing games when I can still go out when I want to. You know choices.
Yeah. The old contrarian in me wants to go out and socialize more than I normally do. Not doing it but being told not to do something usually makes me want to do it that much more

I wonder how long before peoples patience is tested though? This is an unprecedented situation with so many people indoors. But it has parallels because humans behave in a similar way even if the events are very different. Around 2008 we were told we needed a period of financial austerity, we could see why and people accepted it. No more than four years later people were talking about being fed up of austerity. With this people will get fed up far more quickly, what will they do then?
On a side note it does occur to me that if not enough people get the virus, when they say its fine to go out again it may just start up again. The idea is that if the new cases each day drops to zero it has gone. Well tell that to all the other types of flu, they don't just go away.

No one is stopping you from standing in your back yard, and fussing about the sunlight burning.. if that will make you happy.

I live in a flat with a tiny narrow terrace.
Well.. you can at least stick your face out there?
I suggested to my dad he stand on his balcony or take a walk on the patio, nobody uses the patio but all his neighbours would be able to see him doing this. He was not amused.
