This is the shite that happens daily here with high schoolers. Had one cough directly on me while walking by my room the other day and wanted to murder him.

Was the conference in Indianapolis?
Nah, Los Angeles. Well, Long Beach. But I'm stay in LA. It was going to be ~3000 from the entire state of California, so I was kinda thinking they'd cancel.
Unfortunately, because they waited so long to do so, the first half of my trip which was leisure is all nonrefundable. So I'm still going. At this point, the planes are probably empty and clean. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Are there any theories why the Italy outbreak has gotten so out of control? Why it has spread there so rapidly and not elsewhere in Europe?
I'm assuming the insanely high 5% mortality rate is due to the health care system being overwhelmed.

That and the fact that it seems to be mostly octogenarians catching hell over there.

The region it hit in Italy is old as frick.
Also, Italy’s healthcare system, at least the intensive care aspect, isn’t very good.

Every country has a hotspot. There’s seems to be in an area that is more elderly. And I think they have had rapid uncontrolled spread for weeks.

The average age of Italians who have died is over 85, IIRC

Long thread already on 1st page of OT. Also, do you really think that hasn't been posted here.

Top Coronavirus Doctor in Wuhan Says High Blood Pressure Is Major Death Risk
Patients with hypertension appear to be at a higher risk of dying from the coronavirus, said a top Chinese intensive care doctor who’s been treating critically ill patients since mid-January.
While there’s been no published research yet explaining why, Chinese doctors working in Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the virus first emerged, have noticed that infected patients with that underlying illness are more likely to slip into severe distress and die.
Of a group of 170 patients who died in January in Wuhan -- the first wave of casualties caused by a pathogen that’s now raced around the world -- nearly half had hypertension.
“That’s a very high ratio,” said Du Bin, director of the intensive care unit at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, in an interview with Bloomberg over the phone from Wuhan. He was among a team of top doctors sent to the devastated city two months ago to help treat patients there.
“From what I was told by other doctors and the data I can see myself, among all the underlying diseases, hypertension is a key dangerous factor,” said Du, one of the most respected critical care experts in China. “Though there is no research published on that yet, we believe hypertension could be an important factor in causing patients to deteriorate, leading to a bad prognosis.”

My conference in Indianapolis was postponed for later in the year.
My ticket isn’t being refunded but I have a voucher for the full cost of the ticket for another 10 months or so.
I’m sure people were dying to know
Looks like the deaths thus far have been very much concentrated in the Seattle nursing home.

At one point, I think it was posted that it was 89.
It essentially hit a region of Italy that is one massive nursing home.

I had read something similar and couldn't believe it. Apart from the Seattle nursing home, how many deaths do we now have here, and what info do we have about those? Are there any deaths in people under 70?
