huh okay, well I don't know how many people other countries have tested per capita, I just wanted to say where people are being tested at this point, it got narrower in the scope of testing to focus on where they thought tests would have the biggest impact a couple of weeks ago. Seemingly now they are saying they probably should've tested more in retirement homes / care homes due to where a lot of the very very sick / dying people are coming from.
Santa would be so fucked. An obese, old guy that visits billions, what could possibly go wrong.
That's great to hear, need stuff like this in such grim times.
I live in Suffolk County on Long Island which has kind of become the "new" hotspot for NY (and the world I guess) I'm very lucky to live in a somewhat secluded neighborhood with wide roads so wife and I do daily walks around here which helps, but man when I drove into town today to get some supplies it was really disheartening. A lot of people walking around in groups, not many masks, pretty sub par social distancing. A lot of people out and about, I feel guilty because my neighborhood allows relatively safe walking conditions but other areas there's not much room to walk around and people are just saying Fuck if. I worry about the next few weeks since the weather is getting so much better and people are going stir crazy. They closed the beach in my neighborhood thankfully but I walked past there earlier and sure enough cars just parked on the road outside of the parking lot gate and are enjoying the beach. Wasn't crowded thankfully but this is gonna be a shit show for beach areas if this goes on into May, people cannot help themselves.
Yeah today will be a bad day, highest deaths today here as well

Coronavirus in Illinois updates: Here’s what happened April 7 with COVID-19 in the Chicago area
Here are the latest updates on the coronavirus in the Chicago area and Illinois.

That's fair, that could explain some of the differences. Interesting approach, one would think that those are exactly the places to protect first especially when you don't have a lockdown and while the infection is not so wild spread to make it increasingly more difficult like in Italy and France.
Yeah, a lot of criticism of their handling is floating around from other experts etc. I'm not an expert of any field related to this so I dunno what is the actual right long term approach but at the very least it does seem like they(Folkhälsomyndigheten) also agree that they messed up with making sure the care homes had the right support to keep their staff and clients safe.
They all expect at least couple weeks of it being as bad or worse than this, really hard to say other than that.
The models are very split between if the actions over the last two weeks was enough to stop the spread or to just slow the spread. If it stopped the spread, than what we're seeing now should be the worst of it as the last people who caught it 2 or more weeks ago start needing medical care.
But if our actions only slowed the spread, then it won't stop spreading until literally everyone gets it, and we might not see the peak of that until August, give or take a couple months, unless we take further action to actually stop the spread.
We'll know a lot more in a week.

All of this happening during allergy season sure is awful timing. I keep thinking my throat feeling like its closing up might be a bad sign, then I have to remind myself that no, I get these same breathing issues around this time of the year anyway.
I fucking knew it! I assumed that if someone pushed it, maybe they cut the light by a second or 2 but I figured it was more a placebo effect that made people less impatient because they thought their request meant the light was going to come legitimately faster.
Amen, is it allergies or is it COVID is a daily thing for me. So far, I'm 99% it's all been allergies, but I won't know until I either become legitimately sick or the antibody test tells me I had it at one point.
There's also the side deal of even if it does die down, if we let up lockdowns we'll be starting the whole thing again.
Spanish Flu and Corona ain't got shit her.
Corona showed us that society is like those hollywood western sets.
That too. I have a little more trust in people wearing masks and trying to be safe in their slow return to normal life, but it's hard to say.
But I have a hard time moving on to that until I'm certain the lockdown was enough to stop the spread.
The past few weeks, every time I go outside, the throat gets it, gets on your nerves. Lots of stuff in the air right now.
Germany has a lot more ICU beds and it might be that they're doing more testing, so they have more cases. Either that or in a week Germany's death numbers are going to explode since there's a delay between being diagnosed and death.
Or if you actually use your brain for a second, you might realize there's a natural reporting dip on the weekends. :o
(thats been commented on plenty in this thread and others)
Most reasonable theory right now is plenty of ICU beds relative to other places.
What are you talking about, you can't pick out one or two days, you need to look at broad trends
Combination of more UCIs and got lucky on containing before it hit the elderly (due to social relations the youth which used to be the patient 0-1 were less likely to contact them, due to "early" lockdown).
Weekend numbers tend to be off because not all the people are working.
No one can predict when the deaths will occur is what I'm getting.
You can say "100 people will die here." and then only 50 die and you're like "Yay!", but then a week later you get 150 deaths in the same place.
There are so many variables to the death we're going to have from this thing that you might as well just stop counting unless it's your job to count and assume everyone has it.

Mine was like that for 8 days straight and would randomly flare up and swell even more, fucking awful.

My prediction is the US (along with the rest of the world tbh) will see a VERY slow and gradual return to some normality starting in May.
It will start with things like "these businesses can re-open but must abide by these health guidelines. Parks will be re-opened but no more than 5 people can congregate in groups. Stay 6 feet apart" And then "events of 20 or less can continue. Please be sanitary and careful" and so on.
It will be in 2-3 week intervals to see if a gradual return is possible or if it extends a plateau or shows a spike in cases.
Given this government, some states will extend lockdowns and others will follow the federal guidelines. Most likely it will blow up in their faces and we will be worse off.
Hope I'm wrong tho

thanks for the curve, I have been looking at old info, however your first point is not correct - every single country is lagging in death #s, so the "actual" so called corrected daily numbers are still incorrect.
So when Sweden reports "114 new deaths reported since yesterday" that is the highest # of cases reported in a day and that is comparable to what every single country is reporting and how most graphs are done, then to allocate the deaths to correct date is another exercise that can be done in retrospect. Today's numbers allocated to deaths that actually happened today can probably be seen in 5 days etc., only then can we say something about how many died on a particular day. That is why every single country reports on "number of reported deaths in 24hrs", not # of deaths that occurred on that day. It's the same for any country.
It is! I have allergies and I have also developed a cough and slight shortness of breath. I have no fever and I feel fine, so I keep thinking Covid 19 or allergies? It's been going on a few days now and I feel the same.
My mother take a blood pressure mediation which makes her cough. She went into the grocery store to pick up medication and coughed and people gave her a death stare. She can't help that she coughs. She called her doctor and asked for another medication but her Dr. said he really want her to stick with it for now. My husband was on the same medication and had a cough too, his doctor gave him a different medication after a while of it never going away.
I mean, the one by my old place had a sign that said 'push for audio signal only' (aid for sight impaired) and my friends and everyone I knew pushed that button for YEARS even when I told them not to. I'm guessing the one in this photo is for audio signal. There are tons where you do have to press the button or you're screwed (hello, Los Angeles).
God, it was so hard to nap in the summer with that constant, useless digital whistle sound.
So MN is expected to push out stay at home order based on their own model which is pushing the peak out a bit. I don't really like that they aren't just showing us the actual model.
That would be crazy unfortunate. As in catastrophic.shit

Nah, in my town every fucking light forces you to hit the button or it will not show the walk signal. If you miss the window by a split second you'll have to wait a full cycle so people just go anyways. Super dumb and unlike anywhere else I've lived
Just like the US as a whole, Minnesota is probably divided into several models. Just like how Minnesota didn't start at the same time as New York or Washington, Lyon County didn't start at the same time as Hennepin County.
pulled from over on slickdeals
wipes
and toilet paper
are currently in stock at walmart (ordering 1 of each will net you free shippiing)
so hopefully anyone that needs some of either can order some before they sell out again.
Gone my friend. Bright note is I actually got TP and hand sanitizer yesterday at target. Like it was weird. There was a lot of it. Must have just randomly hit the shipment.
:(
I should have posted a bit faster in here. I posted to all my discords first, which took about 5 minutes. All in all I'd say those were up for 10 minutes. I hope someone who needed it got it.
if I see more pop somewhere I will likely post it again as I would rather people get this stuff shipped to their place then head out to get it.
shit

interesting that mostly young patients develop low titers. Perhaps the innate immune system is playing a more effective role for them. either way these are very preliminary data. To translate it towards vaccine effectiveness is premature. But this definitely will be studied further.
Hey guys, will any hand soap be okay, or does it need to be antibacterial? I"m running low and finding the antibacterial one is proiving to be pretty difficult.
Any soap is fine. Antibacterial doesn't really make any difference, because coronavirus is not a bacteria.
Just make sure you're washing your hands thoroughly.
It's a Virus, why would it need to be AntiBacterial?
Any soap will do.
The way France erratically reports updated figures of cases and deaths after the fact makes it feel impossible to tell whether they are actually succeeding with their lockdowns or not.
