If things get really bad and they start shutting down centralized messaging services, what are our decentralized options?

What's wrong with plain old email?
Perfectly decentralized (maybe except root dns servers).

Protonmail. Supposedly perfectly encrypted and private.

How is protonmail decentralized? That's a perfect example for a centralized service IMHO.

It isn't, just private. Not everything has to be decentralized.

Corona rearranged is racoon and that is, as we all know, the city where Umbrella corporation builds its zombievirus in Resident Evil.
A proof of that is that coronavirus is an anagram for carnivorous, and the virus will eat us all, except for Gentlemand who is in self isolation in his bus stop.

Real decentralization is everybody running their own mailservers.

What's the situation like in Sweden now btw? The number of the infected jumped up to ~1.5k people rapidly and then stopped. Do you have any idea why?

Which just isn't gonna happen. Even then we still rely on centralized ISPs. And things can only get so decentralized before the state goes full soviet.

Well our PM just announced from 12PM a nationwide lock down of pubs, clubs, gyms, etc here in Australia. Shit's getting real. My missus is out of a job for now until this settles down. Stay safe out there guys, we live in interesting times

I think it's just lack of testing, right now all hospitals in the most affected areas are triaging hard outside the hospital entrances, you really have to be sick to be admitted at all, regardless of illness. And only those admitted to hospital are tested right now. A sharp rise in infected people needing hospital care is expected in the coming days.
The military is setting up MASH units to help the civilian health care.

So, does anybody know if this a first?
I mean, the Swedes have proven the smartest so far in my book, has any other country deployed military style health support?
If the answer is no, that says a lot.

[Arriemoller]

Here's an article about one of the military units. (In Swedish).
