Cheese and Rice folks, are we in this together or not!?

Clearly we are not. The left is currently demonstrating their compassion for the masses by vacationing at home and swigging down $100 bottles of wine. Meanwhile the small business assistance fund is out of money. They seem willing to let 45 percent of the economy flush down the toilet unless they get the green new deal, diversity on corporate boards and funds for government and the arts. Not sure they realize who pays for government.
 
I live on Mercer Island WA. I became suspicious that danger for me was soon to pass on April 5 and posted here. I could see an inflection point [the end of exponential growth] coming. We have 66 cases and 3 deaths on 22,000 people. Those 3 deaths were more than 10 days ago.

Wonder what the response would be if the residents of Mercer Island shutdown traffic flow across the island. I-90 specifically. For safety of course. Wouldn't be possible but it would be funny to find out.
 
The green that would be coming out of a toddler's nose from daycare germs has turned into the green on the Washington state department of transportation traffic map, as parents of young children stay home and raise their own kids for a month.

Good opportunity for DOT to undertake disruptive road maintenance. I worked in Silicon Valley when the "DotCom Crash" and 9/11 occurred. The crawling freeways became like super speedways for me. Yippee!

Part of the reason why I'm in favor of re-opening pre-school and primary education facilities first. The potential mortality risk is low - as low as it is coupled with continued sheltering of the elderly - and it frees up parents to work. I've lost almost all of my remaining hair trying to work and home school at the same time!

I've seen an age distribution of confirmed cases for FL but not for deaths. It looks like a classic normal distribution with a mean of 45-54.
 
There's always a 100% death rate. Just a matter of when.
True that, none of us are getting out of this life alive physically.
Something is gonna get ya, but what's gonna get ya is to be determined.
God only knows.
Be safe, stay healthy, pray often!
 
And eat well, drive well and exercise.

On the topic of "excess deaths", deaths (from all causes) in England and Wales were 75% higher in the week ending April 10 vs the average for the last five years.

As with the previous week's (w/e 03.04.30) 'extra deaths' over the same week in an average of the previous 5 years, a large % aren't accounted for by those registered as being caused by the virus or even having a Covid-19 link. This is causing some head scratching as to whether Covid-19 related deaths are being missed and are unrecorded and/or whether these are side-effect lockdown related deaths caused by the total shutdown of elective surgery in the UK NHS while resources are directed to Covid-19, canceled clinic, scan, chemotherapy etc appointments for the early stages of life-threatening conditions, people being afraid to go to their doctor or especially hospital even when acute symptoms appear (NHS A&E patient figures are c.50% down compared to last year), or lockdown-lifestyle change fall-outs. (Alcoholic poisoning and who know what else - I can sympathise with those imbibing extra booze! :) )

Moreover, not only are all deaths up over the past 5-year average equivalents, but 2020 up to late March was showing signs of a downturn pre Covid-19 after one of the mildest winters on record and an extraordinarily early spring across England and Wales. As @SGK says though, we all die sometime, so there will in many cases be a short-timescale displacement effect.
 
2020 week to April 10: 18,516 deaths including 6,213 whose death certificates mention COVID 19.
Average last 5 years: 10,520.

FT comments there is "rising evidence that many of those dying outside hospitals with the disease did not have it recorded on their certificates"

At any rate it is very good to see things improving across large parts of Europe, particularly in those that introduced the broadest NPI. But it isn't going to be normal for a long while to come.
 
The UK has two vaccine programs about to start clinical trials next month (one led by Imperial College London and the other Oxford University). Let's wish them good luck and God's speed!
