Wait I thought you were quoting Fauci?  Are you just making numbers up that fit a narrative?

No, he said what I meant to say. I messed up the numbers, obviously.

If you have bought into that nonsense there is no use discussing anything.

I've been to hospitals here and overseas.  We have plenty of shìtty hospitals.

Medical journal publishing a study that the mortality rate is closer to 6%.

I really think that we need to shut economy down, close all restaurants/small businesses and fund the employees through a short term stimulation/unemployment.

 

The actions we are taking thus far are not enough.

[tanatastic 2,061]

People will not rest until this gets treated like Motaba from Outbreak. They envision body bags lining the streets and military war zones. At nursing homes, yes that’s what it could be like.

That's not a study.  It's back of the napkin math based upon a bunch of assumptions.

Ummm. Where are we doing all these tests? 

We were up to testing 2500+ daily over the last week. 500k tests are being distributed nationwide for testing this week.

The "we're not testing anyone" meme is played out.

They seem to be getting hit the hardest for some reason.

Or they are the only country letting let this run wild and telling the truth. China was burning bodies in Wuhan and not reporting everything, Iran is covering it up, etc.

South Korea is slowing it down as much as possible, but if you compare the recovered/dead it is close to 8% mortality rate even there.

I read they had a lot of Chinese tourists over the Chinese holiday.

Sounds like some sort of nationwide shutdown coming tomorrow.  Possibly bars and restaurants and non essential businesses?

I cut my hours starting today and am not having any employees work until this all shakes out but I am wondering to myself what will be considered essential?  I am a convenience store and am assuming that "essential" will be considered a Walmart type of store and quite honestly am hoping so so that I can close without repercussions from pissed off customers.  I placed a liquor order last Friday for delivery this Tuesday and Wednesday and was wondering at the time if I should do that.  I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Tough spot to be in for sure.  I’ll buy some of that wine off ya if you can ship it down here somehow.  
 

I can close to the public for a couple of weeks without much problem.   
 

I’d like to be able to take deliveries and perform installs during that time, but I’m not sure we will be allowed or if trucks will even be running.  
 

Several of our installs are in non-occupied homes so I don’t think it’s high risk.  
 

We could postpone any others for awhile if needed.

Based on assuming they didn't know the person was infected 2 weeks prior but leaving those who survived without knowing they were infected 2 weeks earlier out. Seriously? Garbage in, garbage out is the theme of Covid stats these days.

Massachusetts cases more than doubled in one day. They are closing schools and other places where people gather.

I don’t think so. She has stage 4 cancer, so I doubt she will be going out.

Always an awkward silence after you make fun of a doods mom only to learn she's dying.

Lot of rumors going around about big time changes coming tomorrow. National shutdown, grounding of flights, curfew, etc.

May want to mentally prepare for that.

Doesn't seem right.  Why would we be going so far out of our way to save a few thousand sick old people?

Hopefully that means my scheduled flights are fully refunded as well as the insurance for my trip.

How many with the flu go to ICU, it would nice to be able to compare.

They are both URIs and deaths from the flu greatly outnumber the Coronavirus deaths. This may change but we will never know. There is nothing wrong with comparing death rates from URIs. 

Considering this strain of the Coronavirus is new, I would say it's unfair to compare death totals. Shouldn't we consider standard flu death rate and current Corona death rate? Flu is less than 1%, Corona over 3%

It is the same bullshit that happens with H1N1 comparisons. The numbers for COVID 19 are just starting and those others are after it is done. Talk to me in 6 months with this virus.
