As for the mortality rate, I thought that was the whole point of closing things down and staying home. So far, Americans who've needed medical treatment have largely gotten it. If it spreads quickly and hospitals are overwhelmed, then that rate would go up (e.g. Italy, which has roughly one death per 12 confirmed cases)

This is a Florida beach yesterday. Full of spring breakers ignoring the warnings about the pandemic.

Until the FL governor puts a stop to this, I don't really see a slowdown happening at the beaches. So far, he has refused.

I know many will post and pick the data source they like the most, so I respect your opinion. However, the source I cited is the WHO. They are the collection point for global data. The numbers are from the 3/17 report. Another one is due for 3/18. And every report is only as good as past 24 hours. The source in that link you posted uses modeling on top of data. But it’s all about reducing cases so I’m not quibbling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Closing things down is to flatten the curve of new infections. This helps our healthcare system cope with the numbers. By itself, isolation doesn’t change mortality rates. The mortality rate is not affected in the near term. Reducing it will depend upon medical interventions through better therapies and in the long-run engineering an effective vaccine.

Dr. Fauci was on every network yesterday begging young people to heed the warnings and quit congregating. They feel invincible, and they may in fact be at low risk for dying from the virus, but they could bring it back to loved ones, employers or vulnerable friends.

Yes - his messaging was direct and thoughtful. Now we must wait to see what effect it has. For the seniors, immunodeficient or immunosuppressed the message is keep the kids indoors too. And decline visits from the teenagers and millennials going out and about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Well it got worse today here. Woke up to a 5.7 magnitude earthquake. This should increase all the panic buying. 20+ aftershocks in the last two hours.
They are saying ~74K people have lost power. |

That is utterly disturbing and sad to see. I'm in my 20s and perfectly healthy yet I've done my part to be sure I'm part of the solution and not the problem. I'm a millennial and I really think a lot of the crap we get is justified sadly enough

I read about it as it broke. Talk about layering it on. Yikes. Hoping no casualties and that power is restored quickly.

However, a byproduct of this is not overwhelming our medical system. This will make it more likely to be able to save lives of people with other medical conditions who might otherwise be denied service due to COVID patients in beds. |

It’s not just young people not following the recommendations.....I have witnessed first hand all age groups including many seniors...

Yes. I failed to mention the consequences of the red hump but thought it was intuitively obvious to the casual observer. The death rate for aged victims, the immunodeficient and immunosuppresed would rise sharply due to no beds with respirators available. And our regular ED patients from stroke, coronary and accidents would also be in jeopardy like you mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Unfortunately not everyone gets it. Lots of people think the red wave is better because it gets the outbreak over with faster. I think the public messaging should explain in a simple, logical fashion why the blue wave is better. Many people just aren't able to draw their own inferences about second-order consequences

From my reading of the whole thing it appears you guys in the US are doing a better job than we are in the U.K.
You seem far more proactive, maybe I’m wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I certainly agree about the general public. Hope that the TRF’ers are more learned on average. In J-school they told us to write to 5th grade level despite being a college publication. If we explain everything at that level, each post would be 12 column inches and ignored after the first paragraph. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Waiting to see what happens in India and Indonesia.
#2 and #4 in population. But are warmer and mostly humid (except some parts of India) It’s going to be 100 degrees in Dhaka Bangladesh later this week. They have 10 known cases in the whole country. Let’s see if it spreads. |
