Trump said no, restaurants and arenas will be back at 100% capacity and that's that. If a place has 168 seats, 168 seats will be filled, period. He will not stand for 50% capacity. It wont' work and he won't have it.

what is up with the 14th deaths?  Was this backlogged NY deaths?

edit 

New York City today has reported 3,778 additional deaths that have occurred since March 11 and have been classified as "probable," defined as follows: “decedent [...] had no known positive laboratory test for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) but the death certificate lists as a cause of death “COVID-19” or an equivalent" [source]. We will add these to the New York State total as soon as it is determined whether the historical distribution can be obtained

Have you guys thought about liability issues in the post-quarantine world we will be slowly entering?

How does a concert venue open up and put itself at risk of a patron getting sick there and then passing away? It would seem like a pretty juicy case for a lawyer to take and blame the venue for not protecting the patrons enough. I’m already seeing rumblings of people potentially filing cases against employers or governmental bodies.

I’ve worked in corporations long enough to see how risk averse they are to liability concerns. I just can’t see how they can go back to “business as usual” without some kind of immunity granted to them going forward.

Or am I just overthinking this?

There's probably some common-law concept about the typical risks that a reasonable person would expect.

And in practice, I think the courts would be pretty shy about bringing the hammer down on whole industries like that. But I wouldn't be shocked if we see new boilerplate disclaimers in ads and maybe some provisions snuck into big legislative bills.

I feel you're overthinking it a little. Patrons take the risk in showing up/being with other folks. Unless the venue KNOWINGLY has someone on staff (or the venue books someone that KNOWINGLY has it), someone infecting others at their venue is out of their hands. They didn't know the status of the person they let in.

I don't think there's liability here beyond "you swim show up at your own risk" like beaches without lifeguards. People still go.

Depends on the curve of the dozen of states behind NYS. It seems they may have plateau but I'm not sure for all the others behind. Not all states report on what happens in long term care homes yet too, so there's probably some backlog that will be dumped on the total.
USA will probably stay at 1500-2000 deaths in hospitals a day for a while. There, hopefully, will not be anywhere that can get as catastrophic as New York City but if others places hit their peaks later, the plateau at the national level may last longer than Italy/Spain/France.

Seems certain the US will be at 50-60k total fatalities by May 1st.

Considering we know 88% of those deaths included 23 comorbidities, are actually not COVID but an obvious ploy to get Fed grant money by greedy Demonrats because it's much more efficient to destroy the economy and not collect taxes on it, the MetaCritic user score is sitting at 5.6, that diarrhea kills 1,8m worldwide and is it even flu season anymore...? Pretty good job by Trump.

The US is more like multiple countries, so it's tough to say. I would still expect some states/regions to develop somewhat larger outbreaks, so some regional spikes in infections and deaths could still be coming. Also the deaths are delayed by 14 -20 days, so there could still some waves be coming from states that are behind New York.  But since the most important safety precautions like social distance and closure of big events have been in place for some time in most states, there is a solid chance that there won't be another super spread. So from that point of view, the US could be at the peak and in control for now.

It's even worse when they're your neighbour. Our PM looks like Trump compared to Adern, she's been fantastic. We've just been really lucky that all the stupid decisions our PM has made haven't backfired, except for whoever let 2700 cruise passengers off a ship in Sydney, which accounts for about 1/3 of all our cases/deaths.

As federal funding for small business loans is tapped, local mayors around here are opening up smaller businesses as of today, let's see how this plays out. hopefully people don't rush to buy furniture and not much changes rather than new hospitalization rate go BRR

Brad J. Lamb is a real estate broker and condominium developer--so the worst kind of scum in Canada. He was precluded from building a condo because two 19-century heritage homes got in the way. The city of Toronto did not give him rezoning approval. Somehow, three weeks ago, these giant abandoned heritage homes caught on fire, with police saying that at least one explosion took place inside. Two days later, there was another fire! It could've been anyone!

Every cause of death should be treated with equal importance, and if 5,000 people die from COVID-19 this year, it will be tragic. It is also tragic that 14,000 people die from drug overdoses as well. We do not quarantine the country to prevent opioid overdoses
If we didn't do this, we'd have hundreds of thousands of deaths in Canada--not 5,000.
You don't get an opiod overdose because someone sneezes on you.

If we had an option to self-isolate for many months, we could look at that, but we do not. More people may die in Canada due to the quarantine that due to the virus. On average, Canadians save $160/month. One third of Canadians have no savings. Many millions in Canada literally live paycheque to paycheque.
Maybe you and your fellow rent-seekers caused this?

From the PMs speech going on now:  the government's plan for oil workers is to get them to clean up old wells and stimulus for pollution reduction methods (10000 jobs).  This is really great.  'Just because we are in a health crisis does not mean we can ignore the environmental crisis'.  Alberta is going to be so salty.

In the same speech, he talks about giving money to artists :dead

This reopening is going to be a disaster.


Last week when I had to go to Walmart for groceries/prescriptions, everyone was wearing masks and gloves, everyone staying as far apart from people as possible.

But now that Trump says we're reopening, almost no one was wearing masks/gloves, people were not following the distance guidelines even in an empty store.

Beast Mode activation has an intermittent short circuit caused by faulty wires.

oh... that was in response to my post. And yeah obviously I googled that article. I had seen a BBC article previously which is why I googled India specifically though.

I have actually read a lot of shit about coronavirus that informs my opinion. Nothing better to do right now. So today for instance, I was reading this article from professor John Ioannidis. Basically talking about how unreliable the data is for Covid-19, which is why we need to get large-scale testing under way to see exactly what we are dealing with.

A fiasco in the making? As the coronavirus pandemic takes hold, we are making decisions without reliable data

Quote
The data collected so far on how many people are infected and how the epidemic is evolving are utterly unreliable. Given the limited testing to date, some deaths and probably the vast majority of infections due to SARS-CoV-2 are being missed. We don’t know if we are failing to capture infections by a factor of three or 300. Three months after the outbreak emerged, most countries, including the U.S., lack the ability to test a large number of people and no countries have reliable data on the prevalence of the virus in a representative random sample of the general population.

This evidence fiasco creates tremendous uncertainty about the risk of dying from Covid-19. Reported case fatality rates, like the official 3.4% rate from the World Health Organization, cause horror — and are meaningless. Patients who have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 are disproportionately those with severe symptoms and bad outcomes. As most health systems have limited testing capacity, selection bias may even worsen in the near future.

The one situation where an entire, closed population was tested was the Diamond Princess cruise ship and its quarantine passengers. The case fatality rate there was 1.0%, but this was a largely elderly population, in which the death rate from Covid-19 is much higher.

Projecting the Diamond Princess mortality rate onto the age structure of the U.S. population, the death rate among people infected with Covid-19 would be 0.125%. But since this estimate is based on extremely thin data — there were just seven deaths among the 700 infected passengers and crew — the real death rate could stretch from five times lower (0.025%) to five times higher (0.625%). It is also possible that some of the passengers who were infected might die later, and that tourists may have different frequencies of chronic diseases — a risk factor for worse outcomes with SARS-CoV-2 infection — than the general population. Adding these extra sources of uncertainty, reasonable estimates for the case fatality ratio in the general U.S. population vary from 0.05% to 1%.

Honestly, I think it's somewhat safe to open up.

We know where the big outbreaks are/were and we know how to mitigate the effects (social distancing, masks, no large meetings, shield the elderly).
It should be safe enough for functioning adults to go to work that can't work from home. Especially if you mostly work with the same people and travel by car.

Schools are an entirely different story. Kids are fucking stupid, so they will just run about infecting everyone.

I don't see how going back to work with precautions in place is any different from people doing their weekly shopping.

We don't yet have all the data, which is true, but we also don't have a lot of unexplained deaths.
So far it all fits the same pattern which we can adapt to.

We never went to the phase to close down all businesses. We kept construction and a few other things going.

We've managed to keep it within our ICU limits and no new big outbreaks have occurred.
The deaths that keep rising are those dramatic stories of the elderly in care homes, who are far away from this somewhat 'open' society.

There is for example no known massacre among car mechanics or truck drivers while most car dealerships and transport companies in The Netherlands remained open.
Plus we only do the social distancing and very few people wear masks/gloves etc. . So if you have a country that pushes for masks in public places your results are probably even better.

Sweden never closed primary schools and we have better stats than denmark when it comes to that age group. Both countries have 0 deaths in the <19 age brackets though.

Keeping the schools open was probably the least controversial thing we did, and failing to protect the homes for the elderly the worst mistake.
