forgot to buy some coke this morning when i went shopping and even tho i've cut back on soft drinks a ton, I still like my coke with pizza, so I ran to the nearby coffee shop (with mask of course), ton of people both outside and inside, no masks, everyone looking at me like im a crazy person.
Good times >_>

Thanks for posting that, where are the previous years data for that time period on that site? I'm having trouble finding that to compare it to
We do have local outbreaks though, esp. regarding the meat industry and there are quite a few Polish farm hands who work under similar conditions. But maybe they are already allowed to travel, there are quite a few exceptions. And regarding churches we just had a major outbreak at a church, boggles the mind to have no restrictions there. Does that really mean no masks, no social distancing, nothing?
384 of those are from Lombardia, that's scary but most regions are doing better than yesterday and some are even reporting 0 new infections. I'm not one clamoring for reopening, not even close, but I haven't seen my boyfriend in more than 3 months, hopefully some leeway can be applied starting next week. I live in one of the safest Northern regions and he lives in a 0 new cases region in Central Italy. It's been hard.
You're right, my point is based on Vienna right now. It's also the state with the majority of cases right now, so most at risk. But remember in March it only took a couple of hotspots to quickly spread in all states. Not that I think it will, people (in Vienna) seem to be quite careful in general.
Tbh, besides the Lisbon region there were 8 new cases. That seems kind of fantastic, no? The big issue is the Lisbon region that with the lockdown ending it might go up quite a bit...
Here in NV, we're following the WHO guidelines to reopen which means we want to see less than 10% Positivity Rate. Well what better way to drop the Positivity Rate by opening testing to everybody even if you have no symptoms
So by those standards, we are "opening"
So, had maintenance barge into my Apartment unannounced, they had no masks on and one of them apparently was not feeling well, and said to keep our distance. They were checking for water leaks or something, spent like half an hour in the kitchen and bathroom, etc. I kept myself and my parents in my room with the fans on and window open, but they did both venture out a couple times and speak to these guys at a distance. Anyways, they're gone now, and they didn't cough or sneeze as far as I know. Assuming the sick dude had Covid, what are the chances we could get it, and is there anything we can or should do now?

I almost did this yesterday. The envelope it comes in is plain white with no markings to indicate it's a letter from the US government. The company name on the return address "Money Network Cardholder Services" is so generic sounding I assumed at first the letter was one of those "lower your rate" type scams. Thankfully my curiosity got the better of me and I didn't just chuck it into the shredder.
After looking at the bullshit fees tied to using that debit card, I'd rather have gotten a simple check I could've directly deposited into my bank.
anyone else work for a company that has basically said "fuck it" and is recalling everyone back to a full capacity office?
Just did a small comparison using the CDC numbers.

I had no urgent need for the stimulus check, so I planned just to deposit the physical check when it arrived. Had I known ahead of time it would be a pre-paid debit card, I probably would've gone through the trouble.
Wipe down the common surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom. And ventilate those rooms if you can, I guess. That's about all you can do. A half hour is a long time for a sick person to be breathing all over your kitchen and bathroom.
I can totally see your point, and I think that since Wednesday you will have the possibility to see him again. As you mentioned, however, Lombardia's numbers are still high (not as high as before, of coursez bit before they weren't just high - they were hellish). For this reasons, as I wrote yesterday, I would just avoid that people from Lombardia and Piemonte (still high numbers there, too) go to other regions until mid June, so that in the meantime numbers can further decrease.
Well, wiped everything down, turned on the exhaust fan in the bathroom (it actually sucks the air out, I think) and opened all the windows and turned all the fans on for a couple hours before turning the air back on. Maybe that was good enough? At least I hope it was, as me and my parents are kinda high risk I think (I'm immunocompromised and they are both elderly with pre-existing conditions, so yeah). :/
Yes. It was at at 7.7% (cumulative) as of May 1. Now down to 5.7%.
It's interesting that Florida is still at 97% of expected deaths in that timeframe from averages so what other deaths are substantially down to offset the much higher rise in covid/pneumonia reported deaths?
I remember seeing something about fatalities being down in just about everything. Auto fatalities (insurance companies had to issues refunds due to so few accidents) and any other type of accidents are big ones. I think they mentioned even infant mortalities was down.
I would venture it is accidents. Less driving and less people outside. Accidental deaths is 4x that of flu/pneumonia in 2018.
My county is now pushing to be allowed to enter stage 3. Counting down the days until we threaten to sue Newsom again, like last time.

This would include our movie theaters and gyms. demanding to be allowed to open by June 1st for tourism.
"As we open up, we anticipate a spike will happen," Gore said. "The good news is that we're well prepared to address those surges. As we move forward, we all have to continue being kind to one another and taking precautions to keep one another safe."
Good luck with that.
Placer County says it's 'prepared to address' coronavirus spike; pushes Newsom to reopen gyms, movie theaters

Driving less so less accidents, less strokes with the stress of the daily commute. Less going to bars and restaurants, so less drunk driving, food and drinking habits that change. ... A whole lot of changes that cause less deaths on the short term.
South Korea re-imposes some social restrictions to combat new virus cases

South Korea on Thursday re-imposed a series of coronavirus social distancing measures it had eased early this month, as a series of clusters threatened to challenge its success in containing the epidemic.
The country has been held up as a global model in how to curb the virus, but reported its biggest spike in new infections in nearly two months as life appeared returning to normal.
The new cases -- mostly centred in the Seoul metropolitan area where half the South Korean population lives -- prompted officials to strengthen social distancing rules that were eased on May 6.
Museums, parks and art galleries will all be closed again from Friday for two weeks, said health minister Park Neung-hoo, while companies were urged to re-introduce flexible working, among other measures.
"We have decided to strengthen all quarantine measures in the metropolitan area for two weeks from tomorrow to June 14," he said.
Citizens were also advised to refrain from social gatherings or going to crowded places -- including restaurants and bars -- while religious facilities were asked to be extra vigilant with quarantine measures.
There were no new delays, however, to the phased re-opening of schools that is currently underway.
"The next two weeks are crucial to prevent the spread of the infection in the metropolitan area," Park said, adding: "We will have to return to social distancing if we fail."
The health minister said the government will be forced to re-impose an all-out social distancing campaign if the country sees more than 50 new cases for at least seven consecutive days.

Here's something that was posted earlier in this thread that was pretty informative. Pretty dated now (May 6) but still a lot of good information.
Belgium: 31 new deaths, 18 in hospitals and 9 in retirement homes, meaning there are now 9.388 total deaths. 47 new hospitalisations, 107 have been discharged. Leading to 1.060 beds used, which is the lowest since 21st of March. Intensive care has seen a small drop again, to 208 beds used, which is 16 less.
Update from Slovenia:
After few days without any case, found four in the last two days. That bring number of found cases to 1473.
108 people died in total, 7 are in the hospital and only 2 are on IC
Looks like all elementary schools will reopen for all students on Monday.
Every citizen of EU countries that has a valid reservation in tourist facilities (camps, hotels, apartments...) can freely enter the country.

This is USA we're talking about, while much of it is spread out you still have mass transit and built up areas, I made that point a few months ago so it's not like I didn't factor that in and US is a major country for world travel and business, said it take a bit longer to work through these areas. Spain has lots of spread out areas barely hit, much of it is in Madrid Barcelona and Madrid was out of control early similar to NY. Many European countries we're slow in testing to begin. I'm looking at excess deaths for Europe so your concern there is not valid either. Per head US 100k is roughly similar to Spain having just 15k deaths. Whether US is actually 120-150k is not the point and further exemplifies as I said 100k was a conservative prediction a few months ago.
All I said was a few months was 100k deaths for a country the size of the US with 330 million is a conservative estimate and here we are. Not down playing, it was inventible not matter how alarming 100k sounds, you have to take the size and population and world prominence of this region we call a single country into account.

Can only talk for our church, but we have really strict rules. And we are a really small church.
Rules include:
1. Wearing masks the whole time.
2. Once you leave the building you can't come back
3. No singing
4. Many free seats between people
5. Cleaning up and applying disinfectant afterwards
Bigger churches have to include a list of people that visited that day. Some churches even use an app where people that enter the church have to Log In, so that they can contact trace IF something happens.
Portugal:
31.596 confirmed cases.

My office in NYC just gave us an update on potential return to office dates - we won't be going back until *at least* Labor Day, so we're WFH through the summer.
Curious to see how the summer develops and if that will be pushed back even further. I am really in no rush to head back into the city at this point.

These are reasonable but were they mandatory before in Poland and now are not anymore?
Chile update:
* 4.654 new positives in 24 hours, reaching the total of 86.943
* 36.150 estimated recoveries
* 49 new deaths in 24h, reaching 890
* 15.650 tests reported in 24h, total of 530.173
So our positivity is sky high, we reached China numbers in positive cases but thousands less dead. Either the capacity of our system is better than China's, medics weren't caught off guard here, or something else is going on.

Spain yesterdaay only had 1 death, and today too 1 death. I obviously don't believe it, but given the chaos on the release of numbers from each region, I think they decided to report updated weekly numbers instead.

Deaths are a lagging statistic. The people dying now were the new cases two or three weeks ago. If you haven't peaked in cases yet you unfortunately have a long way to go before deaths peak and come down.
Indeed. In fact, there are a good chunk of "respiratory disease" related deaths registered since March (up to a couple of thousands) but the actual cause hasn't been confirmed so there's that too.
As for the second, sadly you are also right. We are still weeks from the peak, and we are talking that 80% of the positives are in the capital alone, so there are more regions that are still in early stages.
What pains me is that the "total quarantine" of the capital is everything but total. There are, of course, people that just get out and stuff, few police control preventing it (which boggles our mind since when protests broke last year, we saw them everywhere, but now? nothing), but also a lot, and I mean a lot, of people are still working. Both healthy and postivies, a study found that 15% of positives are still working due to lack of social safety net. It's so easy for a company to get a pass and continue working, and yeah, if the company has to close, then the workers starve. We are really doomed one way or the other. And personal passes are also easy to get, so, this number will just keep growing and growing
Ah sorry, i missunderstood. I live in germany, thought you talked about germany since you brought up the church. Sorry bout that.
Several new updates from Slovenia:
Masks are no longer mandatory in closed spaces, if there is enough space between people.
Fitness centers are opening on Monday and elementary schools will resume classes for all grades. High schools will remain closed.
Gatherings for up to 200 people will be allowed, but not on sporting events
All tourism-based facilities (thermal spas, hotels, resorts, camps) will open
Borders with Hungary and Croatia are open

Yes and this all with a huge expansion of testing so very encouraging.

Last month, aerial photos of a packed parking lot became a nationwide symbol of economic insecurity. If anything, the anxiety has only deepened.
NY tested 65000 people yesterday. Jesus.
(Perhaps some holiday weekend backlog, as the last two days were a little lower than usual. Anyway, 1768 new cases, 2.7% positive.)
