User banned (1 week): ignoring staff post, conspiracy theorising
I bet Germany is hiding deaths for some reason.

Unfortunately the first country to go belly up with healthcare infrastructure will be the first to show a much higher death % as it will illustrate that the current death % probably has the proper healthcare baked into its numbers. So if 5% of people cant get into the ICU, they are more likely to die. I see this constant fight over 'oh the death rate is this versus that' and it's stupid because it distracts from the fact that its a serious illness that when left unchecked things can go bad. This is why the US completely failing on testing is gonna bite everyone in the ass.
Can you source where you're getting this from? Stuff like this could easily spread, and segments, especially about the kitten could work people up and put them more into a panic. It's not that I doubt any of it could happen, but would like to know a trusted source.
Yup.
Last restaurant I worked at, we always got really good results from health dept inspections but individual cooks personal hygeine was always spotty (at best). Also generally being expected to work sick, but maybe owners will be more wary of that attitude at the current time.
Yep. For example, my mom is approaching her mid 60's and is working weekdays for a property management company, and weekends as a waitress.
It's a state where you don't have to go to work, I think in US-English it's called "death".
The hospital in Lombardy must be overrun now. 133 cases a day would be the third highest death toll in China so far, and they didn't order the lockdown until yesterday.
Germany's numbers make no sense statistically. We'll have to wait, I guess?
I really hope the superintendent's office makes some plans for us to get ready for potential school closures. At least have us come up with 2 weeks or so of lessons that can get done at home. Hell, I'm an English teacher, all I need to do is get my kids each a book and a couple of journal entry prompts for them to write and that would do just fine. Better I have them pick out something now and get that squared away so they have a copy at home.
Otherwise, I would assume that even though teenagers usually don't have severe cases, it's going to run through the staff and faculty like wildfire.

These nonsense conspiracies have no place in a situation like this and serve no useful purpose so refrain from pulling statements from thin air and focus on the facts.
What the fuck is this??
Get out of here with that fake news, and fear mongering.
From what i'm hearing people are still gathering in the red zones, breaking containment to go holiday and in general not taking it too seriously.
Now i'm sure plenty of Italian are, but clearly those are staying at home.
Nah, they're not that much out of the norm compared to other countries. Don't compare them with Italy, compare them with South Korea. They're only seven deaths "short".
As someone who lives in Germany this is nonsense. The German media has been reporting on cases with regular frequency with a high degree of transparency.
This is the opportunistic bacterial pneumonia that attacked after his body beat off the virus. He had no trouble with the virus itself.
Pretty much, yeah. Most of the country has little to no savings, almost nobody has a pension anymore, living expenses are constantly going up etc.
I don't expect to ever retire.
S.K has, mostly, young people infected and few over 70 yo. Not sure about the ages in Germany.
It could also be they're detecting very early cases, as it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks before deaths start to show up.
My mother-in-law stopped working just three months before cancer took her life when she was 70 and it was only because she physically just could not do it anymore. She had a little less than $4k to her name when she died.
America, baby!
I was guessing guys chill out, never said it was a fact. It just makes no sense to me it's 0 still.
Our convention (GAMA trade show) for the board game industry is turning into a shitshow.
There is now Coronavirus local to Reno (cruise ship related) and the show refuses to cancel but we can't send our employees there for liability reasons. So tons of us are pulling out at the 11th hour and just eating 10s of thousands of dollars in costs while the show pretends that everything is totally fine and refusing to give any of us with booths information on how many attendees are cancelling hotels.

Many do. The numbers would be astronomically higher if we didn't have social security, which of course the Republicans want to destroy.
With hot takes like this, you could land yourself a job in the Trump administration.
Think the discrepancy between Italy and Germany/South Korea really boils down to Corona getting to higher risk (older) populations in Italy unfortunately.
The cruise ship that was in Japan had like what 7 or 8 deaths out of 711 confirmed cases or so? But cruise ship demos tend to skew older as they are popular with the over 55 crowd.

I'm not sure, they may have been lucky so far that it hasn't circulated among older portions of the population.
The situation in France is worrying too. They have 1126 cases (+177) and 19 deaths (+3, 1.68%) now :(
I saw it on MSN.com, seems honest as it is a very long article, I pulled the relevent parts
There's literally deaths at the care center in Kirkland that are still not part of the official counts with family's begging for them to be tested.
Also it's not a 1-1 ratio. For every 50 cases going undetected there could be a death undetected
WHO said there was no proof that there were mass amounts of undetected counts in China so the death rate should be taken seriously. Downplaying the number doesn't help anyone
Just for context, this is one person's experience. There are likely countless others who have milder symptoms. I post on another UK based forum (Football 365) and one of the members has Corona and has been sick for a week so far. He describes coughing and tiredness and that's it really. Spending his days watching Netflix and sport while waiting for it to improve
The first 15 cases were in Bavaria in late January. (which were basically contained)
The second outbreak happened in Rhineland Westphalia because an elderly couple half-dead with symptoms just HAD to go to the carnival.
I feel the same about LA and I bet I t's totally because we haven't been testing in California. That AT&T store got shut down in SD recently because someone had it and now they're in quarantine, haven't seen any updates on their situation, coworker's, any customers they may have infected, etc. The same goes for like the entire US right now, only reason numbers are so low are because we're literally just not testing ):
One of the first deaths in the US was someone who had been dead a WEEK before they realized it was Covid related.
Yes, I was not in any way trying to imply this was the default, I expect that is why the WHO etc think the numbers could be much bigger as lots of us may just have it mildly
Lol
They already do a lot of it and don't even get paid for it...
French health system is going to crash and burn sooner than later at this pace...
Then imagine 40% of the population getting sick with "mild coronavirus symptoms" FOR WEEKS. (discounting the cases with heavy symptoms and ICU care for now)
"Everyone will get it, just chill out." is irresponsible! Do any of the downplayers and chill-out advocates even look at the numbers they are implying?
