I don't put any faith in the Russian infected and dead numbers. They have no clue of the real numbers of infected just like the rest of the world.

I am not going by the official numbers. I cannot refer to the site, it is in russian. The idea is that the governement would not be able to hide Italy-like mortality rates saying that people are dying from flu and not COVID. The spike is too large and despite of what you may think russian people are not sheep, they just dont care who the governemnt is since they know it makes no difference. So far it appears that Russia's progression may be more like South Korea's.

No one has the correct numbers. They cannot even agree on how to calculate the stats on it.

In light of current discussions in the media around how herd immunity might be generated and protect the population against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the British Society for Immunology has released the following statement.

Let's use what numbers we have.

So, by some sort of magic Russia has fewer numbers than

Luxembourg

Not buying it in the same way I'm not buying the NK numbers.

 

A few interesting comparative images regarding the social impact Covid19 is having around the world:

What do those numbers mean? My hospital has not started doing testing as of yet and the province is in a state of emergency.

No matter the country, bureaucracy is in our way of information. Lack of information creates panic. This is why everyone is hoarding toilet paper and grocery stores are overran woth people. Here in Canada, the response and preparedness is not any better than in Russia. Hospital I work at already ran out of hand sanitizer, low on masks and people are scared to come into work. This is with no confirmed cases. Mostly because there has been no clear decisice communication about anything on the part of our management.

 

Now they backtracked on the need of feeding the impoverished kids at school and closed them here. The Sherriff will have his deputies delivering prepaid drugstore purchases to homes. Some of the businesses are having "seniors hours".

Is that US? Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense at first glance.
@1) Let's be sure people (i.e., deputies) with the most contact with others, including homeless and poor, are the ones to deliver supplies to those most at risk.
@2) Let's set a special time for those most at risk to pass it around.

I'd feel safer shopping with a bunch of 20 to 30 something women w/o children,

 

Good ole SE Coastal Jawjah... It only means they will pull the deputies off of their speed traps on I-95 and have them actually "Serve" the people instead of counting coup on drug mules and speeders to "Protect" the people on I-95. They have already "Protected" the people in the county by giving the homeless a free ride to the county line so they don't have any contact with them. Seems there is a consensus among many of the chain stores to actually listen to what the people wanted and give it to them IE senior and at-risk hours.

 

In my neighborhood we have "urban delivery" by the Post Office. A mailman goes from house to house picking up mail from individual mail boxes and delivering mail from his bag into the boxes. Could he be spreading pathogens from house to house?

Yes, just like they've been doing for a hundred years. How many documented case of disease spread by Postman or Dominoes are there? I would think that food deliver that actually contacts people at close range would be much more likely to spread pathogens.

CENTRAL, La. (WAFB) - The Louisiana National Guard says it has not been tasked with breaking up large gatherings in the state, including at churches.
The statement comes on the heels of a pastor of a Louisiana church defying government orders by welcoming in hundreds of people into his church service Tuesday evening (March 17).

The National Guard arresting people for being at church is NOT a good look.

Talk about getting away from it all…

Actor Jared Leto tweeted Tuesday that he’d just found out about the novel coronavirus pandemic after a nearly two-week silent meditation in the desert.
“We were totally isolated,” he wrote. “No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility.”

Leto wrote that he walked out “into a very different world.”

Just hours after announcing production slowdowns in coordination with the United Auto Workers, General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler automobiles reportedly intend to shut down all their factories in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

"Following Thursday evening shifts, Ford is temporarily suspending production at its manufacturing sites in North America through March 30 to thoroughly clean its facilities to protect its workforce and boost containment efforts for the COVID-19 coronavirus," Ford said in a statement.

 

Hello,

Here are some statistics for europe:

Sad. When the riots break out, will the same rules be applied then?

 

What's a better way than to take down the market. If we're going down, your going down. Everything you posts in some indirect fashion shows that one little panic can destroy everything. What a fragile, Make believe world ?

Don't you realize yet? The stock market is incredibly manipulated. You have no control. Las Vegas (about 12.5% house take) can be a better investment, if you like some thrill.

There are exceptions. I have some "T" (AT&T); 5% dividends and trades a relatively narrow range, with exceptions. It's low right now, as is everything else. Remember, viruses cannot be transmitted by telephone.

NO! say it isn't so. The first thing I thought about weeks ago when this started was "the Stock market". That was my first clue. Domino effect....second, Idiots panicking and buying on impulse...third. Do I need to keep going on?

You have no control.

Correct!

I blame China. The rest of worlds markets are taking a dump and I'm pretty sure that's independent of who is in the WH.
