Number Update from Denmark.

Total infected cases: 8073
Recovered: 5384
Critical condition: 74 where 68 are in respirator
Total Dead since first dead whas confirmed in early marts: 394
Total active cases: 2295

As Denmark is one of the first countries to start open up. We are in a critical phase now, that will show how much can we open the country with out having fall back. All throw it is to be exspected that infected cases will clime as we are beginning to be more active again and that´s why danish goverment now has raised test capacity for every day. We are now at 8000 test every day and hope to reach 15000-20000 as we open up and test capacity gets better. Just dont hope we have open up to much and sees a fall back again.

But to be hornestly, i do have respect for the virus. But i have to admit i being more concerned about Denmarks and rest of the worlds economic future. The numbers coming out are litterly scary reading. 26 mio unemployed in US alone and still climing is very alarming. A prognose has sujested that up to 59 mio people in the eurozone are in risk of losing there job or at least go down in work time. I lost my own job i marts and there are more or less no jobs to find. I dont think the world will get a fast recovery or the V-shape we hope for. More like U-shape at best and L-shape is likely as this damage world econemy more and more for every day.

Most countries are looking @ Danish as well as the others that "opened" earlier to see how they fare and ascertain if they can "open" themselves @ a similar evolution of the situation or not.

Hang in there: we're all rooting for you ...

Yeah i am happy and concerned about we can open up. happy because it hope fully means we can get to better times faster and a more normal day again. But there are still a long way to a normal day with out social distancing. But concerned we open up to early and we need to plunge back to lock down again and worsen the economic down turn that is already pretty bad.

Thanks about the rooting. We sure need it as all other counties need it to. This is something the whole world is infected of.

Exactly our concern.

When i said "we are all rooting for you", i meant all countries that have yet to "open" and, by extension, all the people in those countries.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Btw, @Tatty_One : what's with the number of recovered in UK?

OP's Johns Hopkins' link reports only 701: so few with that many infected? Even Portugal, with under 1/6 of the infected number has much more than that.

It's just not being reported, many of the infected were tested and isolated at home, loads of them recovered apparently, saw out their self isolation period and carried on, without applying for a re-test so it was decided that if over 50% of infected could not be measured there was little point in using resource to record an inaccurate stat of recoveries, ultimately, everyone infected who has not died recovers!

As for countries relaxing lockdown restrictions, whilst the world may watch and learn lessons it's so very different country to country, cultures, populations and all other manner of things play their part, I would love to see the success of London with god knows how many million population ease down without getting further mass infections, you guys saw the Underground rail queue's during a rush hour commute I posted a while back, that was during lockdown when only 5% of the population were working!

I think Ford mentioned previously..... countries with bigger populations and/or land mass may have to have very different easing down rules for different areas..... urban, rural etc.

 

[Tomgang]

Ah yeah. I see your point. Only time will tell how this is going to be in a 2-4 weeks. Danish government has just said, that we will have to wait at least two weeks more before they will come out with phase 2 opening options. Probably because they are unsure of how phase 1 will go, so they will not say anything and by that avoid promising to much and I think that is fair enough. Cause the fact is, even the government is not sure how it will turn out. There are still so much unknown like how will the virus mutate next, how will people react and will they be able to take it seriously with keeping distance and such. The good weather cut bring that in to risk as more people stay together in the good weather we have now and might get some people to be less careful.

That’s much the same reason our state government is not tracking recoveries in Louisiana. With all the variables, it’s just something better off left till later, devoting manpower and resources to the care of the infected.

An uplifting article from a Danish news paper called Berlingske.

Here is what the article says in Danish a short citat from it:
»Smitten er ved at dø ud, om jeg så må sige« – her er eksperternes dom over de seneste tal
Der er grund til at glæde sig over lørdagens tal for antallet af indlagte smittet med coronavirus, vurderer eksperter over for Berlingske. Tallet falder nemlig markant.

»Det betyder, at smitten er ved at dø ud, om jeg så må sige. Tendensen er der både i antallet af indlæggelser og i smittetrykket,« siger Torben Mogensen, formand for Lungeforeningen og speciallæge i anæstesi.

Translated to English:
"The infection is beginning to die out, i will say" - Here is the experts judgment about the latest numbers.

There is a good reason to be happy about the numbers from this Saturday about infected people in the hospitals and according to the experts judgement, the numbers of infected are dropping rapidly so far.

This means the infection is beginning to die out. This goes for bofh hospitalized and infection pressure on the health care system says Torben Mogensen, president of the Lung Association and specialist in anesthesia.

Article is here, in Danish: https://www.berlingske.dk/samfund/s...jeg-saa-maa-sige-her-er-eksperternes-dom-over

So this means so far the virus even throw Denmark has opened up this week, seems to be on it´s way out and dosent spread further. But i am still not convince my self as we will have to wait at least two weeks to really see if the infection dies out or not and so far only one week has past since the opening. But after one week and infected numbers still dropping is good news for sure so far. This gives me hope Danish goverment will open up for more in may as well.

Numbers from thursday this week to compare to.
Total infected cases: 8073
Recovered: 5384
Critical condition: 74 where 68 are in respirator
Total Dead since first dead whas confirmed in early marts: 394
Total active cases: 2689

Todays numbers:
Total infected cases: 8,445
Recovered: 5,669
Critical condition: 70 where 56 are in respirator
Total Dead since first dead whas confirmed in early marts: 418
Total active cases: 2776

Here is a tabel of people in hospital, critical condition, in respirator and dead people at what date the numbers registred the given day. So yeah the virus spread seems to be on its way back. This just shows that a combination of fast reaction from Danish goverment by locking down the country and social distancing really can do a difference. With the bad side effect of hurting the economy, but that really is the same for all countries under lock down. At least more and more countries are starting or planning to reopen slowly.

Been watching the numbers and they are reaching a plateau. The deaths are slowing down and the infections are but to a lesser degree. Personally, I find this encouraging.

Yeah. If numbers of infected people are going down while we open more up. This is really great news and also shows other countries as the virus peaks, it is possible to open up slowly while virus dies out. This means that open slowly, also means we can slowly get back to a more normal everyday life again and more and more people can return to work.

All throw not everything will be the same again as some has lost their loved ones, some there job as I have myself, some the company they worked there ass of to be a reality, homes will be lost and many countries will end up with a big government dedt to pay after this. Denmark just got government dedt free 3 years ago and now the virus just ruined this. But it has given government the opportunity to make a more aggressive help package to save companies and employees, than they else cut have done. That will hopefully help Denmark to stay stronger economic when we have returned to a more normal everyday. Compared to US government that has a huge dedt to pay of 107 % of gdp. Denmarks started at 0 % gdp dedt before this crisis, but danish dedt will climb now sadly again do the lock down.

Just to clarify. Denmark doesn't have dedt in other currency than Denmarks own dkr. But the lock down will change that sadly.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:

- 23864 confirmed infected --- 472 more
- 1329 recovered --- 52 more
- 903 fatalities --- 23 more
- 236410 suspected cases --- 4673 more
- 330512 tests taken --- 14754 more
- 4673 waiting for test results --- 110 less
- 30453 under watch from authorities --- 521 more
- 1005 hospitalized --- 35 less
- 182 in ICU --- 4 less

The trend continues: both hospitalized and ICU numbers dropped, for the 8th day in a row. It could have been 11 days in a row already were it not for April 18th: on that day, though hospitalized dropped, ICU increased.

It's already been announced the emergency state in Portugal will not be renewed on May 2nd. That being said, county crossings during this next long weekend will be forbidden to all except those with the required clearance to do so (essential workers, those caring for family members, and such).

 

[Tomgang]

Latest numbers from Denmark update from Saturday.

Total infected: 8575
Recovered: 5805
dead: 422 or only 4 more than Saturday. The lowest number since we got the virus to Denmark in 1 day.
Hospitalized: 285
Critical/respirator is the same number from Saturday or 70 and 56.
Active cases: 2770

So even after one week of reopen and more testing. numbers are still going down. this looks really good and also if other countries can do the same and not get and explosion of infected people again. this gives hope for that by end of second quarter. We Can Be Close To many countries has reopened, not fully, but so much that economy can start-up and hopefully prevent a total economic disaster world wide.

So back to Denmark to resume numbers. today we had the lowest numbers of dead since the first death recorded in midt may and Hospitalized are down to 285 or 5 less from yesterday and even with more testing in weekends total active cases has lovered from 2776 Saturday to 2770 Sunday. I know it's not much different, but taken to account that the first week of reopen has past and we test more people, I had fear the numbers would have gone up, but that doesn't seem to be case so far. If This continues the next week or two, Denmark has won the war over this virus as we reopen but not to fast off cause else the virus can get a rebound.

So to all in all countries. Stay strong, listen to the government and respect the rules and keep the social distance going. It is possible to Win over the virus it seems. If this is respected. I know it's hard and annoying specifically for the youth people it's hard to sit home and no party or fun. But if we ignore it, it will only prolong the pandemic and longering the lock down. With more economic damage, more lost jobs, more sick and dead people and just a plain out longer boring spring/summer spend in lock down and I don't think any one want that to happen.

Think it's still a bit premature to say so: not enough time elapsed, just yet.

The one thing i think i can definitely say is: it doesn't look bad.

I know. That is also why I said if this continues the next two weeks. If it doesn't continue, we have not won the war yet.

But I'm hopeful now. Seing the first hole week pass and numbers haven't raised yet, is a good sing.

 

[Tatty_Two]

3 weeks appears to be the crucial point after a relaxation of restrictions, minimum of 2 weeks as it could take a week for someone to get infected and then 1-2 weeks for symptoms to show, most high population countries are likely to therefore introduce relaxations in waves every 3 weeks so they can evidence that there are no negative outcomes, lets hope for all of our sakes that things go well!

UK has now passed an unwanted milestone of 20,000 deaths whilst still continuing to have less infected daily with much less hospitalisations, it seems we have downward trends of fatalities for 2 or 3 days and then a day where it increases again, this may just be down to reporting but we are still deep in it until we can see weeks of day on day reductions of fatalities that are significant.

368 deaths reported in the last 24 hours, the lowest it has been for over 4 weeks.

These were the deaths in the worst five countries one week ago.

USA - 40615 (Deaths)
Italy - 23660
Spain - 20852
France - 19718
UK - 16060

This is one week later.

USA - 56803 -- 40% increase in deaths
Italy - 26997 -- 14%
Spain - 23521 -- 13%
France - 23293 -- 18%
UK - 21092 -- 31%


US and UK still rising fast.

UK was late to enforce strict isolation and has insufficient PPE for frontline staff. We're now paying out to the families of NHS staff who have died during the outbreak (60K per death). Imagine you're an employer and you sent your workers into a hazardous environment without proper protection. In the US, there'd be a warranted lawsuit. In the UK we call it a goodwill gesture and a 'thanks for the sacrifice'.

Do you have the data for hospitalizations during the same period?

EDIT

In Portugal, since last Tuesday until yesterday, we went from 762 deaths to 928 deaths: 21.78% increase.

In the same time frame, hospitalizations went from 1172 to 995: a 15.11% DECREASE.

 

[the54thvoid]

Do you have the data for hospitalizations during the same period?

Afraid not. At least, not for UK. Unless someone else has the info?

Admissions are dropping, they have said, so we're flattening the curve but the issue is how long will it take to become viable to ease restrictions.

I edited my previous post with deaths as well as hospitalization numbers in Portugal.

It was announced Portugal would go off emergency state May 2nd but there are legal issues that are getting in the way so it's a lot more tricky than we thought.

For example, the Government wants to lock county travels for this coming long weekend except for those with the necessary "clearance" but that's only legal during emergency state, so that's a problem.

Another thing that, to me is trivial, but it's actually illegal in Portugal is for work places to start checking temperature of workers prior to them entering wherever they work: the objective would be for those found to have a higher temperature to be denied entry to the work place and be checked later for COVID-19, should the temperature continue to be elevated for a longer period. I actually suggested this still in March to my superiors, not knowing it was illegal ...

40%... not bad... time to open up! [Sarcasm]

Being serious, 40% is an improvement. I dont recall when, likely six weeks ago or so, it was doubling every couple of days.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Louisiana has determined that even though our curve is beginning to flatten, we are not there yet. So we will continue a stay-at-home stance till May 15th. I’ll have numbers today after the Noon update.

Lucky for me my employer has continued telework advisals for two more weeks as well.
