Dottleshead ★ Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share #103 Posted March 17, 2020 Italy reports 368 coronavirus deaths in 24 hours https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/spain-france-tighten-curbs-coronavirus-fight-live-updates-200312054153018.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share #104 Posted March 17, 2020 The latest numbers More than 4,500 people have tested positive for the new COVID-19 disease in the U.S. and at least 88 have died. Deaths per state: Washington: 48 New York: 9 California: 9 Florida: 5 New Jersey: 3 Louisiana: 3 Virginia: 2 Nevada: 1 Kansas: 1 South Dakota: 1 Georgia: 1 Colorado: 1 Oregon: 1 Kentucky: 1 South Carolina: 1 Indiana: 1 Globally, more than 7,100 people have died, and more than 181,000 people have caught the virus worldwide. That's a 7100/181000 = 4% death rate. Gads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 17, 2020 Share #105 Posted March 17, 2020 That's the math for the "confirmed" cases. If one were to assume that there were that many more folks running around that haven't been tested but who have it the rate drops to 2%. If one double that number of unconfirmed cases the rate drops to 1%. By the way that would still be an order of magnitude worse than the 0.1% for flu as quoted by the CDC to go along with a much higher transmission rate. I wonder if I will know the person who kills me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly I keep passing stress tests with flying colors. My only problems are with a family history of high blood pressure and the need for me to keep it under control (116 over 69 this morning) along with my eyes which are also not getting worse too quickly at the moment. At almost 74 however I figure my risk is pretty high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We he altered our services at my work, and I am required to report over the coming weeks. I am practicing a lot of precautions. I use rubber gloves on the copier. I wipe the copier down regularly. After I touch any papers from others, I go wash my hands, I wipe my keyboard regularly, and my phone, even though I am likely the only one touching my things. I am going to have a serious talk with my nasty coworker that keeps invading my personal space. She went behind my desk yesterday and wrote on my blotter and used my pen. Whether or not she things this is hysteria and a media panic, she needs to follow governor orders. SHIT! Oh, and my Mother is almost 80. I talked to her last night. She has tons of food. I know how she shops. It's a bit insane for a women who lives alone. Anyway. I asked her how she is doing and if she has food. She said she has plenty for weeks. Although, she keeps going to the store for stupid little things that she can do without right now. She said she needs milk. I said "Could you do without milk for a little while?" She got upset at me. I asked if she could have someone from the church deliver her milk? She got more angry and said "I need to check expiration dates. I don't want the first milk on the shelf."

BR46 Posted March 17, 2020 Share #133 Posted March 17, 2020 All bars and restaurants to close as of 5pm today. The police in this little city said that they will not shutdown a bar with less than 10 people in side. They will not shutdown with more than 10 people inside but they will report it to the health department. I wonder if that will affect the bar when they have to renew the liquor license.

Lies? I do not trust the data. It's real. They are now at a point where the 20 or so cases that popped up from returning people are the big deal. Guandong province hasn't had a new case in days. It's time to face the fact that China's citizens are more socialized to care for the masses than the individual and that they cooperated with the lockdowns. Osomaxx is desperate to get back to his school there but obtaining a flight is nigh on impossible. Many of the intermediate stops would each require a 14 day quarantine such as flying in through Japan. He's not sure if he trusts Canada to stay open long enough to book a ticket for next week or not. All the Chinese students that were trapped here are being collected at the head office in NJ. I admit that my access to Chinese news is only through my oldest sons friends who are still in China but I really don't think they are lying or hiding anything. Much of China will be up and running in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
