Bazza Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 It was a suggestion. Nothing more, or less. Time is is what you make of it. Newton lived in a different era, he didn’t get 24/7 news updates, and hashtags to flatten the curve. Instead he flattened gravity. So why not follow Newton’s example, and start a project. Basically, why not read one of the most important books ever written? Is that not a productive use of time? Or do something else creative!

I have a quick question : I liked the original I tent of this thread (I don't k ow what other celebrity deaths may have occurred from Corona, but Joe Diffie bought it over the weekend), but as suspected, it's a lot less useful now than it was. Can any of you folks with more desk time that I have during the day point the way to a similar thread on any forum or website that wants to keep up spirits, share the news, but leave the farcking politics the frack out of it? I mean--some of us have been exposed and would just like some news and humor without all the petty little personal crusades. So if anyone knows of such a thread, please post a link. Thanks.

Ragitsu Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I suggest that anyone attempting to hold onto a butt of any sort ensures that it is large enough; you would not want to attempt to find purchase and fall in the process because the target area was inadequate.

Cancer Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 From Nature: Everyone watching what happens as China loosens travel restrictions Will there be a surge in infections after the provincial lockdown has been relaxed?

From a planning perspective, it also says that if we want a more reliable estimate of the mortality rate of the virus......we have to take the Chinese data out. It is completely unreliable. Lessee... total cases total deaths case/1M Est Pop (M) Deaths/1M Mort Rate World 746178 35347 95.7 7797 4.53 4.74% China 81470 3304 57 1429 2.31 4.06% World – China 664708 32043 104.4 6368 5.03 4.82% Just a bit of number crunching. The top 2 rows' data from worldometers.com,(https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) except for the population estimate...that's from cases per million and total cases. The third's simple math, only here the cases /deaths per million people is computed from the total cases/deaths and estimated population. Mortality rate is simply deaths/cases. So the big upswing is, both infection rate and death rate go up about 10%. The death rate goes up but not by enough to matter *yet*. It's too early, there's too many variables at play for that mortality rate to be considered final. And the data for Spain and Italy are disastrously high; their mortality rates are about 8 and 10%. EDIT: Mortality rates by country. Same data source. Cases Deaths Rate World 746178 35347 4.74% USA 145131 2608 1.80% Italy 97689 10779 11.03% Spain 85195 7340 8.62% China 81470 3304 4.06% Germany 63929 560 0.88% Iran 41495 2757 6.64% France 40174 2606 6.49% UK 22141 1408 6.36% Switzerland 15526 333 2.14% Belgium 11899 513 4.31% Netherlands 11750 864 7.35% S.
