[nick]

America added more cases between 7am and 3pm than Canada has total x 2

obviously testing but jesus christ guys.

What I'd like to know is how quickly the virus progresses within an individual from contraction, contagious, hospitalization (on average).

Fun work story:

Someone came in yesterday, worked their shift, went home and in the evening their roomate collapsed with covid-19-like symptoms and was taken to the hospital.

The response from work was to close and disenfect the areas that the employee visited and require the empoyee to self-quarantine.

Everyone that employee worked with was put on a different assignment and sent to a different building they normally don't work in.

I would expect that if the roommate collapsed and was taken to the hospital, they've been "sick" for a little while and it suddenly reached a tipping point. That would mean our employee was exposed for more than just yesterday. That would mean they were exposing the people they work with for several days (without showing any symptoms - still symptom free from what we know).

I seriuosly question the judgment of the leadership that thinks "Oh, we'll just disenfect the area that person was in, and everyone that might be infected from this secondary contact can just spread around campus and work somewhere else for the day."

WTH - I feel like they just sent test cases out there to try to infect the few people that are still coming in to work (a vast majority are working from home including me at least part time).

The rationale was there is no positive test for the virus (since it's still harder to get it but also because this just happened yesterday) so it's "low-risk".

Uh - motherfucker collapsed with corona like symptoms! Think you would be better off treating that as a positive test result and if you find out differently in a few days then you can revise your approach?

got bored.. last 5 days the case increase has been 18%, 15%, 11%, 9%, 12%.. now this isnt official cause i didnt do loggings every day at same time (gonna try and find a site with hourly numbers).

Anyways, decided to graph out America's projections based on 9% to 18%/day.. curious to see what happens. (In a perfect world it fucks off tomorrow but that aint happening)



if you go off the current fatality rate (2.05%, way up from .8% when George was hohumming). If 18%/day increase happens at a 2% fatality, America could lose 70k people by mid April.



Now obviously 18%/day would be extreme. Still fucking scary.

Yeah, so instead of isolating him, they sent everyone he was in contact with to another building?, so lets infect other people as well?

The did isolate him - he's required to stay home for 2 weeks. But they also sent everyone else to work other places on campus today.

But it's all cool now - we got word they've finished disinfecting the areas he was working so it's right back to work in those areas (with possibly already infected people) tomorrow!

Yeah, that is what I meant. They sent all the workers that he could have infected to other buildings. Good choice there! lol.

Dr. Fauci is a breath of fresh air tho. It does suck to read this and know they knew from the start but idiot Trump is a fucking idiot

Go back and read Nick. It was .8% for New York is what I said. I am sure it is much higher than that now.

Computational analysis reveals that COVID-19 may be effectively suffocating patients to death by taking over our red blood cells, similar to carbon monoxide poisoning

This whole thing is so fucked up and what you just said is a huge problem. There are three groups of people running around right now: sick and showing symptoms, sick and not showing symptoms, and not sick. The middle group is the most dangerous because they are running around like a modern-day Typhoid Mary infecting people by no fault of their own. But yet we are testing the ones showing symptoms which is logically backwards. In a perfect world, those are the ones you don't test! You just assume they have something and begin working on them.

But the other solution/plan would be worse! Let's just pretend we had/have enough tests available for those who aren't showing symptoms, you could test them and they could catch it on the way out the door!

It's kinda crazy.

You know who this Fauci guy reminds me of? A roulette player using a Martingale system for his predictions. Eventually, he'll be right. Then there was another virologist on 1010 WINS that talked about his study and to say there was a wide berth between his "best case scenario" and "worst case scenario" was so wide that I could have made the same prediction sitting on my toilet. It's like ... wait a second here.

I am becoming very suspicious of these experts. To use the roulette analogy, they are walking up to the podium with a CV full of diplomas and going, "Ya know, I think a number between 3 and 33 is going to come out."

Oh really?

6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week

6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week

That's it? I would have guessed a lot more worked in the service industry alone

[Cnasty]

Thats just last week

Total is about 10 million in 2 weeks I believe.

That's 6.6m new cases? I understood it to be total, up from last week's total.
