Sorry it's missing the recovered.
- 14,995 infected (2,116 more than yesterday)
- 1,266 dead (+250)
- 1,327 recovered (+175)
Total cases: 17.660
The company I work for has the weirdest ideas. We who work in the production needs to be protected so if any people who doesn't work for the production, like white collar employes. They have to wear masks and warn us before they come in the plant.
Probably just check your temperature and see if you have cough and fill out a questionnaire.
Something similar at my mom's work place (she works at a Retirement Home / Rehabilitation Center) is also doing. Every time my mom also has to go in, they have to check their temperature and see if they have any symptoms. They're also heavily restricting visitors, to the point that they can't allow vendors in easily, I heard. That's causing some problems, I guess.
Death rate is 7.17% with these numbers.
Other statistics:
- 6201 positive cases at home = 41.46%
- 7426 in hospital, not ICU = 49.66%
- 1328 in ICU = 8.88%
Considering the median age of most Tory voters in the UK it seems kind of counter productive for their methodology to be "eh, let it run its course"

Some short interviews with that people on TV:
- I did nothing wrong. First: because I'm not sick.
- We didn't think it would be this bad.
- We are ok so there is no problem, I don't understand the fuss.
yes, i don't really see how this benefits them considering their demographic is old people.
And yet most schools are still going through with SAT testing this Saturday, which puts different kids from different schools under the same roof, possibly "cross-pollinating" them. Idiots.
I'm sure the neighboring school districts will follow like dominos. I have no idea what people are going to have to do to watch their kids at home.
Stuttgart has now closed all cinemas, bars and so on except restaurants
As I learned in the 2008 crash, a global problem requires governments to work together. Today's populist nationalism puts us all at risk
A good article by Gordon Brown, not sure if posted yet.
"Of course, the very idea of global collaboration – and the convening of what would be a "virtual" G20 – sits uneasily with the "America first", "China first", "India first" and "Russia first" populist nationalism that has been subdividing our world. Since the high point of cooperation in 2009, nationalists have been in the ascendant – building walls, closing borders, clamping down on immigrants and imposing tariffs. And what was first a protectionist nationalism has morphed into an aggressive us-versus-them unilateralism".

Numbers in Italy seem much worse than in other places. Hospitalization rates were around 20% in other places, and death rates around 2-3%. Is this due to the average age in the population?
250 deaths in a day is not great at all, hopefully it doesn't stay at that rate for a long period.
That and hospitals being overrun. There are hospitals in italy using the triage system.
I'm specially surprised by the hospitalization rates. Just checked the WHO report from China and it was a 20% of hospitalization, from which 15% needed oxygen and 5% intubation.
I live in the rural south and my place of employment just keeps repeating the old "It's probably not as bad as the media portrays it" while being more pissed that March Madness got cancelled and thus their promotions are shot...
Just got back from Walmart because I still needed stuff that I couldn't get at Costco. It was like I stepped into Venezuela or something. The shelves were stripped bare.
Then I got gas down the road at Costco (a different one from the one I posted the picture of), and there were literal .5-1 mile long car lines to get in - from at least 4 directions. And there already were no spots left, and the store hadn't even opened yet, so I'm not sure how all those people thought they were getting in. It was ludicrous.
What's strange is the gas stations seem to be far less crowded.

Freaking finally, but it's needed in more cities. We already have cases in Houston, Dallas and Austin.
I'm starting to become paranoid. Allergies have been acting up so I'm basically just checking my temp multiple times per day to confirm allergies. I'm in Seattle.
Also, have a flight to North Carolina Sunday morning. Going to end up getting stuck there aren't I...

That and medical staff are tired, sick, and dying as well. It seems like the worst case scenario.
Just saw a tweet on twitter that experts are expecting up to 1 million deaths at our current response rate. God. Now I'm scared IF IT'S TRUE.
Welp. City of Jacksonville Major just released a press release stating that Parks, Zoo, and Libraries will be closed indefinitely after closing hours today. Look's like I'll be on Admin Leave.
I think they will just check your temp and any symptom. Even the fastest test require few hours no way they will be able to test anyone that want enter the hospital.
Plus even if they want test anyone definitively Us don't have enough kits, so triage have to be employed.
In the US. The tweet gained a lot of traction last night. It's by Andy Slavitt, who did medicare and medicaid under Obama apparently.
Italy now had over 1000 deaths in the past week

There are many old and chronically ill people. The experts could be right.
Average age is higher, but only not that higher no more 2-3 years than the rest of europe (Germany and Japan have a higher average)
List of countries by median age - Wikipedia
The reason of why death toll is so high is probably because they are able to test only the people who go to hospital and their close relative, that would make the number look very bad.
So i would not pay much attention to the that % probably not statistically sound. Sadly probably it mean also that there are a lot of cases that are not diagnosed.
Ok, so work just called and told me that I'm going to be working from home.
And I've also received an email from my kids school, a parent of one of the children has tested positive, but under government guidance they're staying open.
Ffs.

I mean, I guess it's possible. If half the population got it, that would only be ~1% mortality rate.
So here's a dumb question...
There's a good chance most people are going to get this and it will be a mild version (definitions of mild vary).. (WHO - 80%)
But for those of us with compromised immune systems (diabetes type 2) does the percentage stay the same?
I know the elderly and compromised systems have a higher chance of dying due to it attacking the respiratory system.. just by being in these groups does that automatically mean it's not going to be a mild case but rather severe?
I'm doing what I can, continuing to wash hands, social distance, etc.. but I can only do so much to defend against the people who aren't thinking about their affect on other people. I'm the only one providing for my wife and 2 daughters and want to do everything I can to ensure I can continue to do so.
