COVID-19 Map worldwide, with statistics

[TylerFromMS]

Many people were masked up even though it offers you little to no protection.

I should have worn my urban biking mask:

In the ER, regular surgical masks are recommended in close quarters (less than 6ft away for 10min or greater) unless droplets are aerosolized (swabbing, breathing treatments, vent, bipap, intubation, etc...). So, it does offer protection for them IF WORN CORRECTLY. Your beard prevents that mask from making a proper seal, just as an aside.

As always, wash your hands and don't freak out.

That mask dates back to when I used to ride my mountain bike to the office over summer in London traffic. I gave up wearing it as it is very difficult to breathe through if going at pace. (It was like altitude chamber training.) It has a full-blown HEPA filter inner and neoprene outer cover. I think if I wore it in a supermarket it would freak people out. Hannibal Lector stalking the aisles for TP!

Hey, at least you don't have the Army Reserve going door to door in Hampshire hunting for Londoners!!

No, not yet! Thank Goodness.

So we had many (mostly D’s) governors clamoring for Trump to do what they were supposed to, i.e. issuing orders to shut down activities and mandating shelter in place orders, etc. (because historically states are responsible for actions within their borders) and when Trump is doing what he should be doing (preventing New Yorkers from infecting those in Wyoming) he’s wrong in both instances? Does anyone else see the hypocrisy of this?

Make sure that friends and family remember come November.

There's no U in USA?

 

[SGK]

What an awful day. 889 died in Italy. 884 in Spain. 525 in the US - a 31% increase on yesterday.

How big is your boat?

 

[SGK]

Tiny. 15 ft flats boat. And they've now closed all the marinas so it isn't worth squat!

Who in here is a microbiologist with extensive studies in Pandemics? Who knows of someone that fits that criteria that wasn't paid to come up with a specific outcome? Who gets their information off of main stream media or the internet and is now an expert? Who doesn't consider this virus weaponized? We already know who chicken little is.

 

[Concha]

Leading causes of death in the US 2017
Heart disease: 635,260
Cancer: 598,038
Medical deaths from mistakes: 400,000 +or-
Accidental deaths: 161,374
Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease: 154,596
Stroke: 142,142
Alzheimer's: 116,103
Diabetes: 80,058
Influenza and Pnuemonia:51,537
Kidney Disease: 50,046
Suicide: 44,965

Take this how you want. Corona will take its toll one time if we let it take its coarse. Theses deaths I have posted happen year in year out.

 

[SGK]

Yes. And the Imperial College study's estimate for an unchecked virus was up to 2.2 million deaths in the US. A good chunk of those added together. So it's a good idea to check the virus which is what we're doing. Then it comes down to the cost to the economy of doing so vs. loss of life. The 1918 'flu pandemic reduced life expectancy in the US by 12 years.

You've got to have one helluva screwed up view of the world to believe that COVID 19 is an intentionally released 'weapon'.

 

[SGK]

I'm not your brother and I'm not panicking. Saying "it is in gods hands" (sic) is a cop out. Good luck with your attitude.

(Not only that, your data is wrong - and inflammatory. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm )

 

[Adam in WI]

I'm not your brother...

Did you not just lament the lack of "U" in "USA"?

Yes I have a screwed up view of the world.
I also can grasp the concept the virus was weaponized.
I believe 5G is going to border on mind control.
I believe Agenda 21 is real.
I believe this is a push for 1 world order and banking.
I also buy the industrial size roll of tin foil from costco.

 

[Highpower-FClass]

Imperial College? Estimate? For gods sake brother. You are really in a panic. Turn off the TV. Do not listen to any MSM. You have all the worst case scenarios. I see this panic all over social media. Not only are you troubling yourself you are attempting to get others to follow you into this rut. Please brother, Sit back and relax. It is in gods hands.

There are many different coping mechanisms, this one is known as the Ostrich Approach. If I don't look at the problem, it must not exist

 

[SGK]

Whatever guys. The good news is that if people take it seriously (rather than dismissing it as just another 'flu) and NPI are enforced, time is bought for scientists to source treatments and, possibly, a vaccine. Without them it would be a humanitarian disaster. The good news is the NPI are starting to work where they are taken seriously. Despite record deaths, rates of increase in infection are slowing, the slopes of many of the traces in this chart (with logarithmic scale) are flattening.



Expectations are they they will be required for at least a couple more months in Europe, with temporary easing and reapplication throughout the next 12-18 months to manage the burden on the healthcare sector. And the NPI cost. Very early days, particularly in the US, but the '08-09 financial crisis looks like a minor blip on this chart:



I hope you guys stay safe whatever your views. If you do die of COVID it's likely no friends will be allowed to be by your side in hospital when you do nor will they be allowed to gather for your funeral.

I'm going to put this right here so we can laugh our asses off in 8 months.

Death is our only outcome.
For all of us.
Only God knows , when, where, or how.
He says he'll only give us what we can bare.
This too shall pass!
Praying for you all.

I have a wife, 4 children and their spouses along with 7 grandkids, if any of them die in the next 8 months I will not be laughing my ass off.
