KayJay1971 238 Posted March 13, 2020 I have a trip to Cabo San Lucas planned for the mid to late part of April. I certainly hope they don't impose any travel bans to other countries. That is more than 5 weeks from now. I think I'll be all right. I need to get my taco on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife and I had booked a Cabo trip pre Swine Flu. When that news broke we had to scramble and find a plan B since she was preggo. We ended up going to the Bahamas instead. It was a pretty big disappointment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,037 Posted March 14, 2020 My B¡tch asked me if she should go to her friend's birthday party. She works for J&J (my b¡tch… not the friend), and they already have a mandate to work from home, so I was like sure go. You're home anyway. What difference does it make if you're quarantined on the off chance you get it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,037 Posted March 14, 2020 The y-axis is the same? Are you saying the number of total cases of flu is an estimate (ie, not everyone goes to the doctor with the flu) while the Covid-19 cases are confirmed therefore artificially driving up the Covid-19 fatality rate? I, for one, estimate that the real number of infected is 10x the number of confirmed. If that is the case, the fatality rate is obviously 10x lower. Of course, that means it's still about 5x higher than the flu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, that means it's still about 5x higher than the flu. The y-axis is the same yet .6% on the left is markedly shorter than .2% on the right. Also, COVID-19 disproportionately affects 80+ year olds which they split out on the right, yet they lump down to 65 on the left. How does flu affect the 80+ group? My point is that the data is intentionally misrepresented in both directions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also I'm inclined to not trust any of that data at this point. Also, if you take off an order of magnitude that helps the Y-axis issue but not the X-axis issue.

Without knowing the number of infected in each bin it's not very great. I wasn't trying to argue it was great. In fact I said it wasn't. My point is this is the mortality rate is higher than the flu. Stupid people who can't understand that respond better to pretty pictures than words, so I figured it would make that point. Flaws and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted March 14, 2020 My wife and I made one last trip to the store at midnight to get some stuff my MIL wanted. We were able to get most of it so there's no reason for her to go anywhere. At 2 am, we were putting groceries away, wiping stuff down, taking showers, and washing our clothes after having been to Wal Mart. May be overkill, but we're trying our best to follow the guidance we been given about social distancing. This morning, I got a call from my wife telling me that her stupid mother went to her focking chiropractor visit while I was at work and she was out walking the dog. Seriously, what a focking dumbass!!! We go to great lengths to protect her because of her age and health issues, but she goes to get a rub down from some stupid quack who's probably rubbed dozens of others this week. I'm focking pissed.

Point is, she's old, has some health issues, and is needlessly putting herself in close contact with other people. She needs to sit her ass at home and watch movies for a month while this thing plays out. That's what she does most of the time anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I realize this is on the painstaking OCD side, but I spent quite a while sanitizing groceries (ordered online, loaded into the car by employee) so I know what that's like.
