The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[StateDawg44]

The writing has been on the wall for weeks now. 3 weeks ago people were telling me I was panicking for saying we could potentially have 100k+ deaths. People blamed it on media hysteria. People posted silly "triggered" memes and said I was scared.

I wasn't scared. I was paying attention

People like statedawg44 can't go around acting like there was "too much misinformation" or too many unknowns.

There really wasn't. This was predicted. If you were calling it an overreaction 2 weeks ago. That is your fault for not paying attention. That is your fault for not getting your news from a trustworthy site.

But please have the balls to own it. Dont make excuses now. And there are bunch of you

This was a matter of life and death. Still id. A bunch of people on here mocked those of us that were actually tuned in. It was disgusting and shameful

So you mean own it like I did in the post above on this page? ETA: I'm sure you couldn't wait to read my entire post before you began your drivel.

Again, you won't find where I said any of this is an overreaction. I haven't once accused you of panicking. Yet you and Dan want to lump anyone who simply questioned something either of you said into one group and condemn them instead of trying to just explain in a calm collective manner. Y'all are pathetic.

I have paid full attention and practice all recommendations provided by the WHO and CDC and feel no remorse or guilt for any of my comments or actions in real life.

I'm happy for you two finally getting your ah-ha moments. Congrats. Is this what you are looking for to pet your egos?

That dude would love nothing more than the USA to be wiped out.

That would be sad because then he wouldn't have anyone to tell I told you so.***

Here is a back of the envelope estimate of how badly we are undercounting cases.

Have just breezed through it and not dug into it yet, so not sure how reasonable it is.

Guys stop this bickering for those of us going to the front line I can say this it doesnt matter who was right or who was wrong. It doesn't matter if you believed this was a joke from the start or not. We are now in a fight for the lives of millions around the world. I was told told today that we should expect 8 weeks minimum of this extension. How all of us react to what we're told to do and each other determines what type of person we are deep inside. Peace to all stay safe!

As of this morning:



If my analysis is correct, this means the US has 19.37% of the total cases in the world and 7.32% of the total deaths.

Further analysis means that the World death rate is 5.45% (minus the US) and the US death rate is 1.79% (Percentage of deaths of cases tested positive)

None of this is good, but the US death rate is not what the death rate of the remainder of the world is (to date anyway). I know Italy has skewed those numbers but on the whole this is how it breaks down.

Probably worth noting that the US has tested over 800k, which I'm fairly certain is tops in the world.

Overall tests, but not per capita, right?

Probably not, but cases by country are just case numbers, not per capita

Italy's cases are falling

- Thursday: 6,153 new
- Friday: 5,959 new
- Saturday: 5,974 new
- Sunday: 5,217 new
- Monday: 4,050 new

I know I seem like a broken record, but is testing remaining the same? If so, this is really good news

Louisiana is now past 4000 cases. One of my RN coworkers is going down there and making 30,000 to work 3 weeks. His hours got cut because he is in an area that does elective procedures, so he's taking vacation and going to New Orleans to work.

$30,000 for three weeks? I've had several offers but they've all been in the $3,500 a week range.

That's what he told me. I guess he's telling the truth, but I didn't ask him the company.

I bet it was 3 months. Most contracts are 12 weeks in length and that'd be in the $30,000 ballpark range. Most of that is tax free and they will pay for their lodging so a huge chunk of that is all take home. Dangerous time, but a lot of money.
