people here knew about the rona by mardi gras, it was a topic of conversation and costume. it wasn't like rampant or anything, but it was probably how it was introduced and got a foothold. has been  :brain :brain past few days seeing pundits talk about it.

All I've done today is nap, eat trash (I had 3 bowls of frosted mini wheats) and watch 10+ year old episodes of Mythbusters.

Went into town to grab a pizza, whole town was pretty much dead. Barely any traffic on the street, maybe one-fourth of the usual for Saturday afternoon. Nothing active except a grocery store and some drive-thrus. Was a really weird feeling.

Can blame Trump for a lot of things but he wasn't the only one running denial when the time to prepare was running down.
There's a few reasons for this

1) China lied about the details and numbers of the virus. As of January 2020 the WHO's official stance was that human to human spread not common or even impossible. The MSM called the flu more deadly. Talk about China in full lockdown and a lot more deaths than reported was censored on social media. Russia was even accused of spreading coronavirus misinformation in the US and Europe. Trump was called a racist for closing the border with China.

2) It took the WHO about a week after it spread to the US and Europe in big numbers to declare a pandemic while already hundreds were dying and thousands were infected in Iran, They didn't call it a pandemic until AFTER Trump stopped travel from Europe and reports came in about those infected cruise ships.

3) The guideline for social distancing wasn't enforced in most countries until AFTER Italy went in full lockdown. Europeans didn't close borders or halt air traffic until AFTER Italy went in lockdown.

4) Health experts in countries like the UK were using the wrong data models partly based on what China had reported. It showed a mortality rate of ~1% vs the 10% Italy hit soon after. When the models were adjusted to a mere 3% panic hit governments deciding to reverse their positions and moving to suppression and lockdown.

I worry about this

the people working at these places are gonna be seeing the most steady stream of random people all day every day, and all their customers are the sort of people who shrug and just go get takeout during a pandemic, as opposed to the ones actively avoiding crowds

and the workers are often fighting for their very livelihood to keep the place open and determined to come in no matter what, or not have the sick time to take off, the kind to hide their zombie bite (not because they're assholes but because they can't afford not to work)

couple that with being infectious but asymptomatic for a week and it's a real turnoff from grabbing takeout from anywhere

Pizza is the safest food to eat.

Oven kills all the virus

They use the super long metal thing to move the pizza from the oven to the box.

Box closed and done.

Dont lick the box.

It'll be interesting to see when we count up all the murders, (traffic) accidents, pollution related deaths and compare them to before the lockdown if there's actually less people dying during the pandemic than before  :thinking

if there are already millions of cases

then

chances are pretty good that at some point in time it DID double every 5 days

unless millions of cases happened overnight and then afterward nobody else got infected ever

French doctors, on March 22, estimated that 42k people could be potentially be sick of COVID19, with only mild symptoms and told to self quarantine at home.

On March 22, there was 16k positive, confirmed tests and 674 dead in total.

It's not hard data because the symptoms are so indistinct, but I guess that's a rough guess.

Curiously, my area has women being the most impacted, with my county specifically having nearly 70% of all cases being women. Also the amount of confirmed cases in my county went from 1 to 12 in a week and a half but the state of Indiana has tested under 10,000 people. I think right now the state is looking at 15% of those tested are confirmed cases, 2% mortality rate.  Also the median age is about 53 in my area specifically. Overall, the 40-80 range brackets are all within a percentage or two of each other so it's pointless to say it is impacting one group more than the other.

20-30 is the same rate as 70-80, 80+ is lower than both.

Of course most confirmed cases are in the county that Indianapolis is in, but Indy is the second biggest city in all of the Mid West behind Chicago, and Illinois has tested double the amount of people that Indiana has. Also in my area, the newest cases include 3 members of the EMS team, and this area is really staffed mostly by volunteer stations in neighboring small towns/townships as opposed to a city EMS system. If 3 members are from the same house, that pretty much shuts down all EMS/fire services to thousands of people in the area. Even if it's from different houses, it's still likely to put everyone into quarantine and shut down services completely. It might be better to have them all at one station, tbh.

Number of confirmed fatalities in France today are staying fairly level at 292 (last 4 days : 319, 299, 365, 231), I don't know if it's because the offloading to other regions / neighboring coutries out of the Great East region is helping (250 transfers total). Number of infections also down so that's maybe just weekend numbers & testing being outliers like they are in some other countries.

Authorities say they use the number of ICU beds occupied as their main indicator and they expect, hopefully, to see a decrease in admissions by next week.

The viewership of the Trump pressers keeps going up which means that for some reason more and more people want to see it.
They either enjoy show he's putting up for the ratings (which is really what it is all about for him) or more and more people are screaming at their TV's hoping for some actual information.

It seems like a moot point to brag about ratings as the president....in every circumstance.  You brag about ratings for a sitcom or a football game.  What's the implication here?  That it's surprising that millions of people would tune in to hear what their president has to say during a global pandemic?  Actually, scratch that last point.

You would expect viewership to go down as the crisis unfolds not increase rapidly.
That would mean that you're gaining new viewers much faster and you aren't losing existing viewers.

Maybe networks aren't covering or airing the Q&A with the press after the daily announcements?
