    March 20th COVID-19 update

    lmao, 30 days PAID leave, gee that's a tough decision, I'd have to get back to you on that one... They should do it like Trader Joe's, where they are paying their employees a bonus for working now. And contrast that with Gamestop...who is telling their managers to stay open, that they are an...

    March 20th COVID-19 update

    Yes, that's just the nature of the damn beast. I phrased some things poorly in an earlier post. First off, the isolation measures are absolutely the right thing to do. However, if an infected person can infect others for 5-7 days before they show any symptoms, then the people the original...

    March 20th COVID-19 update

    Updated the charts for March 21st...the data is current through COB (close of business) March 20: Selected Top Countries (if I put every country here, you wouldn't be able to read it): Selected Top States (Texas isn't showing up for some reason, but they should be just above Colorado, with 394...

    @ColdDog Funny you mention H1N1, although I'm not surprised you got yoru facts WRONG: H1N1 was a novel influenza that emerged from North America, (and not China). Read the H1N1 After-Action report by the CDC...the lessons were that PROMPT action, active surveillance and testing (along with...

    March 20th COVID-19 update

    Unfortunately, we are already on a bad trajectory. It will take at least 2 weeks for any of our social isolation measures to have any sort of impact. Probably longer, since we have been dribbling them out, and people haven't been taking it seriously. But, it will have a positive impact. Again...

    March 20th COVID-19 update

    Here is some data ... I promised this in anather thread, but this is more topical. These number are from COB yesterday, reporting cases and days since the 100th case: Top Countries -- if I put everything here, it is a big mess and unreadable: Top States -- I think something like12 states have...

    The Coronavirus Explained & What You Should Do

    I'm actually working with some data now about infection rates (I'll try to post later). Based on earlier reports, a 33% infection rate is a pretty good estimate, although that is from countries that implemented quarentines and social restrictions early on. If we are seeing a higher infection...

    Just saw this on the WHO website: The number of confirmed cases worldwide has exceeded 200 000. It took over three months to reach the first 100 00 confirmed cases, and only 12 days to reach the next 100,000...

    I respectfully disagree. The posts I cite are relevant and factual. To be clear, the post in your reply originates from the story at ProPublica, which cites Senate Documents that *anybody* can access and download. I'll show you below: This article...

    I'm just stating facts! People in leadership positions were saying one thing one day, and then the total opposite the next day...and then not taking any responsibility! The people deserve the truth, in MY opinion... What did they know, and when did they know it...

    Wait, I'll quote from the link I posted...TL;DR Trump did not take this seriously at the beginning, now that it has blown up out of control, he is looking for somebody to pin the blame on before the next election.:

    If they aren't actively testing and confining people who are infected, then all you have is a bunch of "Typhoid Mary's" running around and infecting people...who you aren't even able to count.
