the rate of hospitalization and deaths in sweden having slowed down significantly despite all measures suggesting we're very far from any kind of herd immunity has suggested one thing to me: getting herd immunity among the systematically irresponsible goes a long way towards keeping things under control.

so don't despair too badly, if indeed you were, jonny.

I work(ed) in a two bank building, one side of the hall went to the bottom half and one went to the top. I though there were pretty clearly labeled but yeah people would constantly get on the wrong ones and get confused when there was no button for their floor

only about 30 floors too, I’m surprised they thought it was worthwhile but I’m not an architect
The solution to several problems here is to have the floor destination buttons in the lobby; after pressing one the system then tells you which elevator to get on. Other cars might arrive before yours, but they're not going to the floor you want.

This way you can program it for throughput efficiency. Less instances of one person going to a single floor, as you can have the car that was already bound for there pick them up on the way.

i'm still lolling at how badly the actual dangers of covid were messaged. there's are still people out there who think it's just like the flu except a little worse or exclusively a respiratory virus that can only cause lung damage

meanwhile it turns out that covid can (and does) affect any system that has an abundance of ace2 receptors which, while definitely including the nose, mouth, and lungs, also includes the gi system, kidneys, liver, heart, and vascular system

we're in for a rough time as more people get infected

well i mean none of the health experts were really saying masks didnt work because they honestly believed they didnt work. they were lying to prevent a run on masks so there were enough for healthcare workers. maybe the government shouldnt constantly ruin its credibility if it wants people to listen
to the extent this is true (there are several permutations of “the lie”) a rational adult could still process it in full and come out on the side of “welp i knew we should have worn masks all along so i’m deffo going to wear one now”. this has been the experience in canada for the most part

It’s completely loving insane and criminally irresponsible that this is being communicated as 1% die / 99% live when something like 40% of people evince long term consequences. It’s a continuum of life-affecting consequences, not a binary.

yeah that's the gist I'm getting from a quick googling, but there just aren't solid studies of this yet I think. eg. https://www.yalemedicine.org/stories/covid-19-recovery/

you and the people you love are probably going to be ok. yeah there is a risk that they might not be and we need to do what we can to reduce that, but even still your risk of serious negative outcomes is probably low. even if your loved one is in a nursing home, it seems that they still are still more likely than not to make it through COVID*

*the rate of death from CVOID19 for people living in nursing homes from seems to be in the 10-20% range

My grandmother is like 82 and had it no worse than a bad cold, there's deffo lots of variability even at that age.

IDK if it's still current but there were some stats from a while ago suggesting that the fatality rate in old people was very close to their existing one year fatality rate, which is still pretty high!

probably hard to judge, but the skew with age continues to be gigantic. in sweden where schools were never closed, and the general advice was to let kids live as normal, the skew remains pretty complete:


(deaths per age group)

i'd cite the death/survival rates in intensive care by age group, but i don't think those stats compare things in a very useful way, as the number of deaths is significantly higher than the unique intensive care cases (most likely a lot of patients who are immediately judged extremely unlikely to survive ventilation).
