Maps, science, data & statistics tracking of COVID-19

My point wasn't put across as I intended. What I mean is, the virus affects humans equally, your country doesn't matter. But the demographic, as pointed out, does. So an elderly nation will have higher mortality.

So far, the evidence points overwhelmingly in that direction.

One chart shows different countries' current coronavirus death rates, based on the known number of cases and deaths

A country's coronavirus death rate can depend on how widely it's testing people. As of Wednesday, March 18, Italy's death rate was the highest.

I see italy up there... not sure about the others.

In that case I have to disagree. The overwhelming evidence emerging shows very clearly that this virus, like any other, affects different people differently. This is due to differing levels of individual immuno-response, blood types and body chemistries. There are also environmental factors that seem to be affecting vulnerability.

But, is your position vital (essential) to the well being of your nation. You don't have to answer.
If not, then do as Vayra86 says...a polite middle finger.

In a very broad sense, it is. I'm pretty essential for my workplace, and small companies (like the one I'm working for) is essential to the nation for sure.

Yes. But take a base human construct. The virus affects it with the same attack parameters. It's a given scenario that individual differences create an uneven playing field. But those individual genetics are spread across the globe. Individual countries provide the curiosity of demographical factors.

Ah, I see what you're saying.

Sorry I agree but quoted you here with a separate related question.
I wouldn't normally link Tom's but

Folding@Home Now More Powerful Than World's Top 7 Supercomputers, Combined

The fight against coronavirus goes nuclear

www.tomshardware.com

The Folding@home network is at 7 petaflops and we have not done anything to increase our team output, would you and the editorial team consider a front page add for our folding team.

The above network is at 7petaflops equaling the top 7 supercomputers combined, not bad but could we not beat all top ten?.

Portugal's update: 2060 cases confirmed, with 23 deaths and 13 recovered. An increase in 460 cases, 9 deaths and 8 recovered since yesterday. I'm also worried about the number they say is waiting for results: over 1000, currently.

Portugal has setup several testing points throughout the country but only those REFERENCED by either the national medical phone line or by hospitals / health centers are ALLOWED to take the test, meaning those waiting for the results have a "good" chance of being infected, thus severely inflating the country's numbers.

Over 200 medical personnel are infected right now, between doctors, nurses, other workers.

NOT GOOD

Here in Alberta they arent testing all of us. I just called our health link to tell them of this tightening in my throat. They asked me some questions about covid 19 and if I have any of the symptoms. I got asthma so yes I have shortness of breath and rather tight feeling in chest. They said to self isolate. I told them I still work so I would like to get tested for Covid 19. They refused saying its only for those they figure they have it.

So our numbers may be much larger here and we arent aware of it.

Story of the day/week/month... not new!

Louisiana has decided to stop reporting twice a day, and instead release numbers at Noon each day. I’ll share the update after it is released.

On the plus side, I’m already more productive teleworking. The anxiety I was having every day caused by coworkers that would stop by to either ask questions or talk, all ignoring proper distancing, is gone.

Its clear you don't have kids

You can try to keep them occupied with TV, video games, in-door social games. Kids seem to like that Fortnite game.

You say get, how do you get if you stay home?

I found out I'm essential, so I still have a job. And kids. And a wife that is not essential, except to our family.

Keeping the kids occupied is the really tough part. During the week, I am dad...because I work weekends. In fact, just got home from work. Besides the drunks getting off the roads, and the schools closed, it seems nothing really has changed here.

Order online and set it up yourself. The kids might enjoy watching you.

I'm not ill and I can't do my job from home.

If you want to stay "not ill", stay home. Unless getting to your workplace and the job requires 0 interaction with other people.

Because I get forced to work? Because no business or boss is taking this serious? I could in theory do all my work from home, but my company does not allow that so I have to go there. Many of us in the office have colds and all the symptoms but hey its germany you gotta wörk wörk wörk....

All the numbers from my country are faked anyway, don´t believe the bullshit that we have some miracle healthcare that no one dies. I have someone in my family who just died due to an infection and they refused to test her for the virus. Actually no one in my whole area is allowed to be tested, you call them and tell them you had contact to a confirmed case and they tell you off. Absolut madness right now.

Show them the middle finger. The numbers are much worse. Not everybody reports that he's sick.

Hehe at 1,5 years of age the attention span lasts about 2 episodes of Miffy... Luckily I've been working on a playground in the garden. Mostly done

Actually, I want to get it and let my immune system work through the virus and then that will be that.

There is 13% you won't make it, and there is a chance to catch it twice. If you recover, immunity doesn't less for long.

 

[rtwjunkie]

The numbers are in for Louisiana. We are up to 1,172 and 34 deaths. Approximately 7,000 tests have been conducted. So far Louisiana has 0 recovery cases.

Of those cases, 981 are in the New Orleans metropolitan area.

Depends on his age. I fathom that 13% is grossly over exaggerated. Unless lex is an old man, I think he will get through it.

Thats you overtaking my country. Our FM has said we're about to hit a steep curve though...

 

[lexluthermiester]

Wrong and duh.

There is a 0.11% chance of death. Not sure where your silly number came from but my calculation is based on the raw numbers available and the mortality rate observed in the United States where I live.

Secondary infection at a later date is expected and presumed.

?????????

A bit over 4% is the overall average of deaths per confirmed case...

I doubt we will. Our people are so stupid, that I walked by our lunch room and it full of people sitting round the tables laughing and eating like it’s business as usual. They think social distancing is 6 inches, not feet. SMH. Idiots.

Let's be clear, some STATES are doing this, however the feds are have not yet done this. Don't mind us, we're on italy's path........ lol

EDIT: Wow... that is an old post I just responded to, lol...wut?

That is true this second. However, once US hospitals start to get overrun and the cases continue to explode over the next several weeks, that value will certainly be higher. Look at the overall number... over 4%....... look at Italy...over 10% because their system is overwhelmed. Things aren't getting better now...

True, but that's world wide. I am limiting my calculation to what is known for the region I live in. Specifically, my area in the US is one that currently has less than 200 cases for an 800 mile radius. There still is no confirmed cases in my city an only 4 in the surrounding communities. Nearby the numbers increase but not dramatically. When I calculate for whole of the US, that number doesn't change much because of the population of the nation. The mortality numbers in North America are simply not an alarming number, especially when compared to other lethal illnesses. However, the progression is an ongoing development.

Oh...I was just talking overall numbers since that was the context prior to your post.

....whatever hole that 13% value came from, lol..

Hey, Lex can also become a test subject to see if drugs like anti malaria pills will work

I threw mine out after I came back from India. Oops
