Fauci.So the doctor (fatchi? can't remember his name spelling) said he 100% meant what he said this morning about a shut down and then said more guidelines would come out tomorrow and refused to comment.
Well, yeah. But there are 2800 new living people that contracted the virus, not 3500, that's the increment in total cases.Unfortunately, 3590 is the real and correct increment of new positives.
2853 is the increment of active positive cases. But active positive cases are deputed of deaths and recoveries.
If it's a big company, they should implement a thermal check on entrance as well as placing hand sanitizers in multiple spots. Have the office been cleaned lately?I work at one of the largest oil refineries in the world and I feel like the company is trying to thread the needle of staying open yet enforcing social distancing. Like, they're making us enter and exit our building only through one door and telling us to stay 6ft. away from each other... but that's physically impossible while conducting regular business. Not to mention that our building is damp and humid (thanks to a shitty HVAC system) so it's like the perfect breeding ground for pestilence.
I really wonder what's gonna happen if/when cases pop up inside the facility. Wouldn't we HAVE to close at that point?
The older they are, the higher the risk. Underlying health conditions are an important factor too.Guys I'll admit here in the UK I'm very anxious. Have older parents (over 50/60 both) and young children 7 and 4 respectively. What are the most vulnerable groups to COVID-19 whats the current death rate?
Death rates aren't known with any accuracy yet but your parents are far more at risk than your children.Guys I'll admit here in the UK I'm very anxious.

Death rates aren't known to very good accuracy at the moment. But:What are the most vulnerable groups to COVID-19 whats the current death rate?

So this is a whole thread, but it is terrifying. Makes it looks like the real danger is that the virus attacks the heart after a few days, and there may be no stopping it if it goes that route. This kind of mirrors what we were hearing out of China.
You're clearly live-posting/reacting to some press conference of some sort, but just so you know, it's very unclear which one in particular and what you're responding to, so... please try to be more specific in your posts ok? This isn't a "live reaction" thread.

There was a funeral I went to three weeks ago, in Ohio, for a 53 year old woman who died of heart failure after a prolonged "flu," despite testing negative for flu several times. I have suspicions now.

Spain, France and UK all tracking worse than Italy...
Seriously though, what's upo with the German numbers? I was gonna ask why they aren't in the graph, but it only starts after the tenth death, and we barely passed the threshold, despite having more cases than France...
Normally he would just shit talk whoever his opponent was and stir up his base, but this virus isn't a person he can drown out with insults.Watching that press conference you can tell Trump hates this so much. Not because of the people that are going to die, because he doesn't give a shit about that. But because this is the first thing that has forced him to be a real president, and he doesn't want to deal with shit at all. This is real work. It's not having a rally, golfing at Mar-a-Lago, or signing an executive order to undo something Obama did. That's all he knows, or wants, to do.
we received a few emails today in VA about preparing for remote education. the Governor banning public gatherings over 100 today is probably a sign of things to come.I met with some of the other teachers at my school last night, most of them thought the PE teacher and I were joking when we were saying we wouldn't be surprised if the school year is finished. On paper we're out until March 30th (with students back the 31st), but considering everything is accelerating pretty quickly, at least in the US, I'll be very surprised if we're actually in class again by that time. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we do bare-bones online teaching until May before school systems close 100% until Fall. Even more so because I'm in Texas and STAAR testing is/was scheduled soon (as in beginning of April for certain grades). Anyone familiar with the Texas education system knows that after STAAR, it's pretty much all review anyway until summer.
I'm not freaking out. I think of it as an interesting footnote in the last few weeks.stop posting and freaking out about "information" from random unverified people on twitter. for fuck's sake
President of Serbia has just activated state of emergency:
- great focus on voluntary home quarantine of elderly population, will become a law if people ignore it
- establishment of new support network for the elderly [package deliveries, health checkups, etc.]
- shutting down of daycare, schools, colleges, gyms...
- reduction of work hours for restaurants and bars
- no gatherings of over 50 people
- expansion of health protection for medical and goods distribution centers
- border quarantine for everyone [symptoms or not] entering the country - 14 days for Serbians and 28 days for foreigners
- for now, no full on city lockdowns or road travel restrictions
- businesses can continue working
- he's pissed that EU has stopped helping non-EU countries, places great hope in help from China
As of today, Serbia has 48 infected and 283 tested individuals [for now they test only those who show strong symptoms]. No deaths, but two of the infected are in critical condition.
Fucking hell, true. In my facebook feed had to just ignore people because of shit like that and i'm talking about people that work in the health department, which makes it more ridiculous. It's just, i heard someone say in the corridor that her lungs are torn to pieces. A day after a doctor talks to a tv station: She is recovering well.stop posting and freaking out about "information" from random unverified people on twitter. for fuck's sake
He explicitly begged the nation not to bring kids to grandparents.Sounds like good measures except closing schools and daycare.With the elderly at risk you can't even count on grandparents to step in as day-carers.
So they closed all schools and bars/restaurants in the Netherlands...
But all the stores remain open so I don't really see the point? People will infect each other when they shop.
but schools are massive vectors. a dammed if you do, dammed if you dont.Sounds like good measures except closing schools and daycare.With the elderly at risk you can't even count on grandparents to step in as day-carers. So essentially everything from businesses to hospitals and transportation or energy to government offices will run out of staff, and the supply chain will be broken.
so why are you still going?Our hockey game is still on.. down to 5 skaters.. I'm a goalie. I have no idea what the other team is doing.
I just want to know what we're dealing with. The uncertainty is starting to get to me.
This chart and seeing countries continuing to follow italys graph (or in case of spain be higher than italy) is one of the most unsettling thing i've seen.

I mean....., the situation is bad as it is, it is not necessary to parrot everything you hear or read.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
that curve for china is with absolute draconian measures taken too. we are in for a horrendous ride
dont think there is a European country, bisides maybe Italy, that has messed up as bad as the US.European countries have not taken this seriously enough. They're just now starting measures they should've done at least 1-2 weeks ago.
Flatten the curve and try to hold it steady while we care for the sick and develop a vaccine, I assumeSo I have a question. Let's say the curve is flattened, what next?
Does that mean we can resume our daily life? I dont think thats the case, unless Im wrong?
but schools are massive vectors. a dammed if you do, dammed if you dont.
