Can i ask how that is possible if China limited their fatalities to under 10k with declining cases?
Wellllll..... China is willing to do things to stop the spread that the us isn’t willing to do.
Things like welding doors shut.

Washington state going to ban gatherings of 250 people in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. Will be through March but likely extended.

If we believe the 0.7% fatality rate in the US will end up being the final number, that would mean about 72 million contract it. Or about 20% of the population just this year.

My people just modified low end best case fatalities to 500k in US from 350k based upon new data from Italy. I am not giving you worst case numbers, and characteristic unique to us. (Obesity rate etc) . Recession is also now off probabilities table and considered Eminent unavoidable threat.
The wishcasting in this thread is something to behold.

That’s the million dollar question. How quickly can we embrace social distancing measures and for how long. The economic pain is going to be unimaginable but the only alternative is letting giant infection clusters develop and watch the death count race up.
Hopefully viral transmission will slow a little in the summer months and buy some time but that’s not a given.
I wouldn’t plan on having a car wreck or getting shot this year. May be no space in the inn.

Kentucky’s Governor Beshear asked this AM for churches to suspend gatherings this weekend and is meeting with all school superintendents this afternoon. We’re all anticipating at least a shutdown of public schools within a week instate. Most of our spring breaks are last week of March/first of April.
ETA: The state legislature also put a bill in committee today to allow counties to participate in non-traditional instruction (like online) if needed during a health emergency. Half of counties already do it but this will allow for emergency waivers for those who haven’t before.

A reminder that the only pandemic to surpass 2 million global deaths in the last 300 years was the Spanish flu in 1918 which was anywhere between 20 and 100 million deaths.

That’s hardly reassuring. Population has exploded since 1918 and this is a novel virus.
Posted on 3/11/20 at 12:32 pm to ell_13
It's target audience was much larger than corona, right?
The 1918 flu had more opportunities.

Sadly another one will come just a matter of when and not if IMO. Hopefully we learn lessons from this to apply to the future.

In 1918, they didn’t even know the flu was a virus.

Now who is wishcasting?

Has anyone been getting the chain text messages yet??
"This was sent to me by a friend.... This info is from my friend that works for the CDC
blah blah blah blah blah"
It's getting ridiculous out there.

Its based on evrything I have ever read with any virus
As I thought. Nothing about this virus. Or even this class of viruses.
Just feelings based on how they “work”
And yet you make declarations based on these feelings:
quote:
If an asymptomatic person with the virus is merely next to you, it isnt going to jump from their body to yours miraculously
Someone coughing sneezing next to you with the virus gives you a far greater chance to contract it
When stuff like this is literally Germans:
quote:
The findings confirm that COVID-19 is spread simply through breathing, even without coughing, he said. They also challenge the idea that contact with contaminated surfaces is a primary means of spread, Osterholm said.

This behavior is not unique, but nor is it typical. And it’s in direct contradiction to your statement that your focus should be on the coughing person and what they touch.
The person breathing normally next to you is as much of a potential threat, mostly because you are a going to be aware of and avoid the ill person.
The most interesting thing is if what you are posting is common knowledge that “everyone knows,” what exactly is the point you are trying to say.

The 1918 flu had more opportunities.
