Stereotype posted:The terrifying statistic I heard was that it was still like 10% for people in their 40s. Like, the death rate ramps up to Contagion numbers without ventilators super fast. no it isn't anybody who says "the death or hospitalization rate for age group x is y" is talking out of their rear end, because we actually have almost no idea right now. any fraction one can generate where the denominator is the number of people infected is somewhere between a wild-rear end-guess and a vaguely informed estimate

my wife has a covid patient right now that’s in their 20s and didn’t have any comorbidities really and they’re probably not going to make it so it’s really best to avoid at all ages and anyone downplaying it for young people probably just wants to sacrifice them for number

echinopsis posted:our lockdown is somewhat working, new cases are lower and lower each day. not like 19,000 in a day like the US 😭😰🥺 i think its just from fewer international arrivals into nz so the ambient noise of incoming infected is dropping. i remember one of the daily updates circa monday or so said there were like 300 people total coming for that day. if you go on flightradar lately theres like the one daily airnz flight from LA and all the domestic flights are freight the thing to worry about is how many community infections there are - picture an exponential curve that lags by 2 weeks. we're basically looking at stats for people who got infected a week before the lockdown started now meanwhile the known community infections are low but there's a bunch of uninvestigated cases in the backlog that ill guess are gonna be community since otherwise they'd just be "they just flew in last week case closed" i think the most likely scenario assuming things go well with the lockdown is that there are occasional local flareups and lockdowns keep occurring but on a per-region basis. meanwhile domestic flights will hopefully be restricted and international travel will continue to be hosed indefinitely since its so risky

Honolulu dropped from 30,000 visitors arriving per day to only ~130. The visitors who are arriving seem to be irresponsible idiots who saw the cheap prices and are trying to take advantage of it. The state reported a family of four who arrived without a hotel reservation for example. The Mayor of Honolulu just officially petitioned Trump to ban all visitor travel to Hawaii, which requires a Federal action.

The visitors who are arriving seem to be irresponsible idiots who saw the cheap prices and are trying to take advantage of it. The state reported a family of four who arrived without a hotel reservation for example. one thing in nz's favor is they were able to block all arrivals (and even transfers) except: - crew - citizens - permanent residents and resident visa holders - australians who already have nz as their primary residence and for the above you need to provide the address within ~5 hours drive of auckland (the only airport currently accepting intl flights) where youll be staying in self isolation, and someone will be coming by to check that youre doing it. alternatively the govt will instead put you into isolation housing (ie a hotel) for that period themselves between that and nearly all flights being cancelled youd have to be pretty genuinely needing to get back to be entering nz at the moment

maybe it's just unchecked mental illness but every time I post something like that I pray there's no fuckin narcs who work for the same 100-man company that I do in this forum if any of you know a bald man in the oil sands who says "work smarter not harder" every time someone says "we're overloaded" and work for a company that has a name that's frequently confused with both an ISP in the US of the same name and a cell carrier up here in canada with a similar-ish name, PM me

do take care of your mental state mostly everyone. most of us are extremely unlikely to die from covid-19, to a point where the mental health effects are a problem to be just as careful with. this might mean taking a bit more time to get drunk and slack off, but may also mean less.
