How in the world did we get here, we knew this shit was coming. Countries were straight up warning us; this is so damn shameful.
Has Comcast suspended data caps? I think they stopped keeping track.
Yup. People are highly suggestible.
Coworker has been waiting for 10 days in the Midwest and they don't have an eta when they will get a response. So hopefully your area has a better testing situationHow long does this test take, my uncle got tested last night who lives here we still haven't heard back and after telling my supervisor I'm still working. So I'm very on edge until results show up
I'm essential goverment and I have no symptoms, if he tests positive I'll still need to be quarantined
If she is 50 or older, she needs to call a dr immediately. Do not have her go to a walk-in.Just need to vent. My boomer mother called me, she lives in rural area of Michigan. Apparently she has a a cough for days (different from her normal smoker's COPD cough). Today she woke up with body aches a mild temp 101. Asked her the last place she left home for. It was the doctors office where they had no precautions set up. Then she went to 4 different stores to shop inside for food and prescriptions. Internally panicking right now.
Just have to be smart and if I feel anything avoid work immediately. I don't know what else to doCoworker has been waiting for 10 days in the Midwest and they don't have an eta when they will get a response. So hopefully your area has a better testing situation
Maths are hard. Also easy to manipulate when you want to lead people in a specific direction (and don't give two craps about accuracy).

I'm getting depressed. third week I'm under quarantine and the situation won't get any better here in Italy. Each day it passes it seems worse, I see no end to this tunnel.
Promoting Germany's current CFR is flat out false and misleading and incredibly dangerous. It's giving people a false sense of security and it will in actuality it will rise significantly. Now due to Germany's better handling of the situation it should be significantly lower than like Italy but you cannot promote a low CFR when people haven't even recovered yet. It can take weeks for people to die. Honestly I'm not for sure why we keep asking about it in this thread. There is zero evidence that suggests the CFR could be anymore remotely near Germany's current number.edited because of Xando 's better source, thank you!
There are MANY other good reasons why the death rate is lower in Germany than in other countries:
- Way younger median age of infected
- Better ICU capacity (more than Italy, Spain and France combined)
- More testing (Spahn said today that currently there are 300.000 - 500.000 tests weekly, on a population of 80 Million!)
- We probably are one of the countries that are "closest" to the real number of infected people.
These has been said so often in this thread it is getting tiresome, I don't know why some of you seem to "want" a higher death rate in Germany. There are so many logical reasons it is not that high.
My hospital lab said it is taking around 7 days sometimes longer for non hospitalized patients. Patients admitted have a turn around of 1-2 days. We only have results on about 30% of the tests we've sent out.
Who here is "promoting" it? It's just reported numbers and explanations why they might be lower than those of other countries. It's not promoting a low CFR, it's explaining it.Promoting Germany's current CFR is flat out false and misleading and incredibly dangerous.

To be honest, a lot of that growth can be attributed to discovering already latent cases that were not taken seriously until this week, which also makes it scary to know just how much is the US in danger and how fast it can get worse as some of the preventive measurements arent being done due to political reasons.The USA in roughly one week (March 19th through March 26th) has gained ~ 67 078 confirmed cases (it was at ~13.7K cases on the 19th) and ~957 deaths (it was at ~206 on the 19th). And the day still isn't done, the numbers will increase further.
Absolutely INSANE growth and it feels like this is just the tip of the iceberg, really.
because it is... a lot of the places that are gaining cases still aren't properly shut down.Absolutely INSANE growth and it feels like this is just the tip of the iceberg, really.
Alrighty rooYes they stopped tracking. I believe it is for 60 days. I am finally getting all of my data into BackBlaze. 34GB left to go of 1.6 TB.
We did it FAM!As of right now, the US has surpassed China as the country with the most COVID19 cases
Tremendous job. Congrats. Time to send everyone back to work.As of right now, the US has surpassed China as the country with the most COVID19 cases
This time next month its gonna be like 100K+ a day just in the US isnt itThe USA in roughly one week (March 19th through March 26th) has gained ~ 67 078 confirmed cases (it was at ~13.7K cases on the 19th) and ~957 deaths (it was at ~206 on the 19th).

Thing is, while I have been paying too much attention, it feels like US still hasn't entered a proper lockdown overall, has it? By this I mean, there are states which are working regularly (for the most part), correct? That's a recipe for disaster if it's indeed the case.To be honest, a lot of that growth can be attributed to discovering already latent cases that were not taken seriously until this week, which also makes it scary to know just how much is the US in danger and how fast it can get worse as some of the preventive measurements arent being done due to political reasons.

Some of the gain is from extra tests, but places like Florida, Louisiana and Georgia haven't been taking it seriously even though their cases are rapidly going up.
Literally every day people are asking why the CFR is so low and the real answer is that it's an illusion and people haven't had time to die. While Germany is taking great measures which I'm sure will help in the long run it's pretty much irrelevant to talk about it at this pointWho here is "promoting" it? It's just reported numbers and explanations why they might be lower than those of other countries. It's not promoting a low CFR, it's explaining it.
And no country takes people who may still die because they're sick into their death toll.
Hopefully not! But at this rate? I don't know man... :SThis time next month its gonna be like 100K+ a day just in the US isnt it
And statistics, pie charts in particular.
Too early to say. We need another week of real testing to have any sort of grip on things.The USA in roughly one week (March 19th through March 26th) has gained ~ 67 078 confirmed cases (it was at ~13.7K cases on the 19th) and ~957 deaths (it was at ~206 on the 19th).

If certain states aren't taking proper measures it can be weeks/months until things calm down. Europe has been on lockdown for a while now (well, some countries not all of course) and cases are still rising overall (as well as deaths). The actions we do today will have an impact two to three weeks from now.Too early to say. We need another week of real testing to have any sort of grip on things.
Some states are implementing measures to keep it contained, but not nearly as strict as is needed. Many other states are simply in denial and are doing pretty much nothing to contain it. Then there's the fact that freedom of movement is unencumbered, so interstate travel continues. There is simply no way to properly lock-down the US without going into a constitutional crisis, or at least having the public perception of it being a constitutional crisis.Thing is, while I have been paying too much attention, it feels like US still hasn't entered a proper lockdown overall, has it?

You pretty much proved my point that pushing misleading information is in fact misleading.No, it is not an illusion. You can say the same thing about other countries. Those people are not dead yet.
That is in fact the current CFR. It is not the final CFR, since you can only have that after everyone is either cured or dead. But it is, by definition, the CFR. So it is not at all irrelevant.
If she is 50 or older, she needs to call a dr immediately. Do not have her go to a walk-in.
Facts are not misleading information. I'm doing my PhD in immunology (mainly focussed on pDCs, key players in antiviral defense) and we work with these data points all the time. They are not irrelevant or misleading.You pretty much proved my point that pushing misleading information is in fact misleading.
Trump did run on beating China...As of right now, the US has surpassed China as the country with the most COVID19 cases
