Italy mild vs serious split is currently 90:10
In SK it's 99:1, !

Italy continues to die en masse as the death toll surpasses 800. At this rate it'll hit 1/3 of the current Chinese death toll within a day or two.

Probably a big factor, shared some stats a few posts back where I think ~60% of the deaths are over 80 years old.

BisMarckie · « **Reply #1392 on:** March 11, 2020, 05:49:52 PM »

All kidding aside, I am starting to get concerned about my parents. They are not that old(Both are 60), but my dad has a pre existing lung condition, but continues to go to work. The response here is to pretend that nothing is happening until it’s too late and then try some reactionary measures. $:-\$

Would a per-capita stat be better? The start days also don't align.
covid cases per capita would just divide cases by 100,000. The start days aligning don't matter either, the point of the graph is the ubiquity of the growth rate except in the place with strong isolation measures (Japan).

All it took was 3 months of me not working at a school, and the government shuts them down for two weeks. Where is my paid time off.

Gatherings of more than a 100 people banned. No schools open. People employed by the state sent home for the most part. We truly live in a society, Ellie.

Dunno I bought extra paper too.

Already did some extra shopping yesterday on a hunch (pastas, rice, canned fish). When we got word at work we'd be sent home I called my wife and she did extra groceries online (baby food, frozen meats etc). And on the way home I did big shopping too buying stufd that doesnt need refrigeration (flower, oatmeal, soups, lentils).

Tomorrow well prob order a bit more even, fresh foods.

I think we already have enough at home to survive for two weeks now without leaving the house. It wouldnt be fine but wed make it.

Got a bottle of Merlot and some beers too cause fuck it.

I only have enough food for a couple of days, but it’s fine. IIRC from Katrina in New Orleans, white people are allowed to loot.

Got some frozen stuff, some canned stuff and generally the ingredients for stuff that can be eaten for 2-3 days like stuff for a stew.
Plus the usual stuff.

Honestly still wondering why they haven't closed Universities and schools for teenager.
