    I agree with your economic thought. All the money injected will eventually lead to more inflation.

    The lethality rate is not 'pretty low'. Even with the numbers from the Stanford study the mortality rate is still 5-6X the flu. it's also not just a disease that affects the elderly and infirm. There is a higher asymptomatic rate than flu but the transmission rate makes up for that. Also, it is...

    This is so false. It is not just as deadly as the flu. The latest studies suggest it is about 6 times more deadly than the flu (0.66% to 0.1%). It also has a transmissions rate anywhere from double the flu to 4.5X the flu depending upon which study you use (flu R0 is around 1.2-1.3, COVID19 is...

    both those countries had gone through SARS and MERS and so had learned lessons to prepare for this one. Lessons that Western countries including the US ignored. Taiwan for instance activated its emergency protocols before they had their first positive case. SK as soon as they had their first...

    This is going to be partly political so if it needs to be moved I have no issue with the mods doing that. The first briefing for White House and Congressional Leaders on the Coronovirus epidemic was on Jan 3rd according to the head of Heath and Human Services Alex Azar. So our leaders - both...

    Not that it is going to matter, but it is somwhat ironic that there is not a single state that would quality to re-open right now under the guidelines released 2 days ago and will probably be close to 0 that would quality by May 1. FWIW, here is an article on what some early states are talking...

    More like about 3-4 weeks. It takes time to circulate and incubate. Wait until around Memorial Day, wouldn't be surprised to see cases spike again starting around that time.

    Nolley's production tailed off horribly in ACC play. In the ACC he avg 14.8 ppg, but shot 34% overall and 26% from three. His last 8 games he shot 25% overall and 17% from three and avg 8.8 ppg. He also is an average at best defensive player. With his known diva tendencies I wouldn't want him on...

    I decided to go back and do some reading on how flu deaths are calculated in the US (knowing that the number reported is not actual death certificates). The CDC has a good high level explantion of what they do and then I went back and read 2 of the research papers of how some of the factors that...

    Read the Stanford study and an interview with the author this morning. But the author was very specific in his interview about what this meant and that you can't use this yet for any sort of planning until more research is done. Even with the adjusted rate of infection as found by the study...

    On a per capita basis Sweden's deaths right now would translate into over 50K confirmed deaths in the US.

    We've already told our son there will be no DragonCon this year even if they don't cancel it. There is no way to properly social distance in that environment and it isn't until Phase 3 (which aren't happening for probably many months) that that type of gathering is allowed. First time in 5...

    The problem with that statement is that the 2 countries are employing very different testing strategies. Norway is testing as many people as it can, Sweden is only testing those showing significant symptoms - 2 very different populations. Norway has tested 24.4 people per 1,000, Sweden has...

    in comparison to the US, Norway's deaths are 1 per every 35,264 residents. US is 1 for every 9,909 residents and Sweden is 1 for every 7,674 residents So on a per capita basis Sweden has the worst death rate of the three. FWIW, Italy is 1 death every 2,723 residents. Spain is 1 death for every...

    Norway has 152 deaths and a population of 5.3M Sweden has 1,333 deaths and a population of 10.23M So Sweden's death rate is 4.59x that of Norway on a per capita basis. FWIW, Norway's daily rate has been declining while Sweden's daily rate continues to increase.
