Yikes what?


EDIT: France's numbers?

That UK figure is a bit out as of today, we have our most deaths for a 24 hour period but whilst awful it almost feels a sin to say it is expected as our peak is due ironically on Easter Sunday ...……….

Daily	14,682 (tests)	12,959 (people tested)	5,492 (positive cases)	938 (deaths)
Total	282,074	232,708	60,733	7,097

Let's just hope they don't get up and start walking again

April 8, 2020 for Louisiana:

Deaths were up again, Number hospitalized decreased for 1st time, and number on ventilators decreased for 2nd day in a row.

17,030 cases (16,284 yesterday)
652 deaths (582 yesterday)
1,983 hospitalized (1,996 yesterday)
490 on ventilators (519 yesterday)
81,406 tests have been conducted (74,654 yesterday)

Breaking these down for the 5 parishes that comprise the New Orleans Metro Area.

10,322 cases (5,070 actually in New Orleans) -yesterday was 9,968, with 4,942 of those in New Orleans proper
392 Deaths (208 actually in New Orleans) -yesterday was 365, with 185 of those in New Orleans proper

What's the population of Louisiana?

About 4.6 million

LOL, yup, it sure does. I was a little under. that shows almost 4.7 million.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:



- 13141 confirmed infected --- 899 more
- 196 recovered --- 12 more
- 380 fatalities --- 35 more
- 104886 suspected cases --- 5516 more
- 128784 tests taken --- i think this is the total number of tests done in Portugal since this pandemic began
- 5903 waiting for test results --- 1461 more
- 24481 under watch from authorities --- 589 less
- 1211 hospitalized --- 31 more
- 245 in ICU --- 26 less

Unfortunately, there's another reason for being less people requiring ventilators due to COVID-19: if the number of new cases that require ventilators is smaller than daily deaths + those that recover enough to move OUT of ventilators, then there will be less people in need of ventilators in that day.

Portugal had it's 1st day with less people in ICU than the day before but, just like i explained, i think it's WAY too soon to celebrate.

Portugal's Senior Health Official is saying that we may have peaked but this is yet to be confirmed, needing several more days to be sure. I beg to differ: until we see the number of new cases being lower like Italy's have been, i think is premature to state this.

I asked because it appears that you have a high infection to population ratio when comparing the UK's, you're real positive is you have a much lower fatality rate which is the most important thing (IMO). In the search to find positives in the UK, infection rate appears to be slowing and we hear today hospitalisations have dropped a fair bit, to the point that we are not at max ITU bed capacity currently although we were close last week before these super field hospitals started opening, one opens in my area on Friday with the potential to have 4000 beds but just 1000 initially, timely for what is believed to be our peak.

This is something Italy lacked, i think, which is what exacerbated their problem: by the time they started thinking about doing these, their northen hospitals were already being overwhelmed.

 

[trparky]

Yikes what?

That the numbers in Europe are that damn scary.

 

[xBruce88x]

Georgia has hit a milestone, though not one to celebrate.

Over 10,000 now... 10204. TBH I thought about posting a pic of Vegeta after it broke 9000, but decided that maybe it wouldn't be the best.

Over 2000 hospitalized with 370 deaths. It's odd to think, that cases could be much higher. Especially in counties that don't even have a hospital!

 

[Regeneration]

The numbers will not stop rising unless martial law is in place.

Complete lockdown everywhere. Make socializing a criminal offense.

Force everyone to wear masks and gloves in public space.

Infected numbers is anyone's guess. The actual numbers are the big unknown and that is the answer everyone is really waiting for. Its also unique per country, because the measures have been taken staggered across the world and societies are simply different in every way.

Only when you can determine the actual death rate %, can you say anything meaningful about exit strategies from a lockdown. Without that number, your analysis is always going to be flawed. And until you can test a representative group on a larger scale, you won't be having that data.

I think the reality we will be accepting soon, is that we know this is going to take a good few thousand lives every season and also in the off-seasons for usual flu until we have vaccination for it. Its going to be a number on top of influenza deaths, and pragmatism will move us towards the harsh calculation of keeping things under control for the ICU/healthcare capacity, and going about our business for as much as possible otherwise.

Martial law... not happening. Not here at least. Even with this rather brief, partial lockdown all sorts of other elements start weighing heavily. The economy, but also everything connected to it, is also our social welfare. No matter how you twist it, this will cost lives, and its going to be a choice of evils. But the effects of martial law are going to be counterproductive. People won't comply.

That is what governments around the world are moving towards right now and its going to happen. 'Intelligent' (for lack of a better word...) unlocking of societies, gradual and constantly checking whether this virus won't pop back up with a vengeance. As long as we can keep the infection rate across the board, below 1, the threat is manageable because exponential growth is then out of the equation.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:



- 13956 confirmed infected --- 815 more
- 205 recovered --- 9 more
- 409 fatalities --- 29 more
- 115158 suspected cases --- 10272 more
- 131127 tests taken --- 2343 more
- 3801 waiting for test results --- 2102 less
- 24708 under watch from authorities --- 227 more
- 1173 hospitalized --- 38 less
- 241 in ICU --- 4 less

A bit encouraging, with fewer hospitalized and in ICU, even with a huge reduction in the number of those waiting for test results, but the newly confirmed cases still give me cause for concern. I'd wager it will take a few more days of this "trend" (NOT the new confirmed cases) to fully admit we've reached the peak: @ least in MY opinion.

@HTC We have not peaked. Not when we have a couple thousand selfish morons that think their Easter holidays are more important than getting the number of infected as low as possible as fast as possible. Grocery stores were jam packed down south this morning. And some towns are acting like this is already over, with streets filled with people without a care in the world. I expect numbers to start going up again next week.

That would never be accepted in the United States, someone would be crying "Muh freedum!!!".

Undermining their government's efforts in slowing down this virus from getting a more significant "foothold" in the country: "moron" is too good a word to describe such individuals

New Zealand sets sights on coronavirus elimination after 2 weeks of lockdown

New modeling shows there's a real chance of that happening.

www.axios.com

This kind of approach is the one i'd like Portugal to have taken "from the get go".

1. New Zealand's leadership took the threat seriously. Their phrasing was "Go hard, and go early".

2. They went into full lockdown mode & banned foreign visitors.

3. There were 367 Covid-19 breaches recorded, 45 prosecutions, and people have been arrested for offenses like obstruction of a person assisting a medical officer, or being in breach of the Civil Defense Emergency Management Act. They are not only taking it seriously with lip service, but with actual enforcement.

4. Their leader sat down in a sweatshirt on Facebook Live & took the time to tell kids that the Easter bunny was still coming, but might be delayed. I think showing her human side is A+ during a crisis, especially one that involves so many children. Over 1.5 billion children are currently out of school.

5. The entire country has recorded exactly one (1) death due to COVID-19.

I've always said that the gene pool needed some chlorine. Maybe with these "morons" dying off the collective IQ of humanity will go up.

The bigger problem is how many innocent people these "morons" end up infecting before that ... they could end up causing many deaths, not to mention the country could be forced to have a longer than necessary time under lockdown as well

While I applaud the hard measures taken by New Zealand, thinking that the virus can be eliminated even in New Zealand will be very hard until we have either the vaccines or a cure. People can only be locked down for so long.

I'm reminded of a comedy skit that Ron White did a number of years ago.

You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take. There's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever!

You can cure ignorance, but you can't cure stupid.
