OT: What changes are you and family making to your lifestyle due to coranavirus?

This is true, though also consider some deaths attributed to the virus were heavily (if not more so) influenced by a pre-existing condition. Therefore, some unknown percentage of Covid-attributed deaths may not be a death caused directly by Covid.

All of the projections are highly speculative at this point because Covid data is so difficult to accumulate at a very reliable level.

The planning that *needs* to be occurring right now is setting up mass-testing (of Covid and antibodies) and contract tracing infrastructure. This will be key in preventing larger-scale outbreaks after containing the first phase.

I'm not sure what contact tracing would do at this point....everyone is on lockdown. Many care facilities are already acting like everyone has. Once we get off lockdown maybe the tracing becomes more significant. IMO the game changer will be the antibody test...when we find out what % of people were exposed and asymptomatic and those previously infected can resume normal activity

Not my post, but I think he's saying institutions should be gearing up for phase II, which will be a return to work in areas that are not hot spots with follow up and contact tracing on new cases.

Ah, got it. I hope you are wrong.

Nothing personal. That's just wrong.

In 2020 average deaths per day in the USA are 7,969(CDC). That's all deaths including Corona. There have been 16,000+ from Corona in 2020 in the USA, or about 161 per day. So non-virus deaths are very close to average.

Here's some info on bleach: COVID-19 – Disinfecting with Bleach

  • Bleach expires 1 year from production.
  • Bleach can start to lose potency quickly after opening if not stored correctly.
  • Homemade cleaning solutions made with bleach lose efficacy after 24 hours.

Oh I like the stats Pal. What we need to compare is 2019 and 2020 numbers.

We know the 2017 numbers were 7,700 a day. They go up a bit each year as the population increases, they certainly didn't go down. They are up to just under 8,000 this year, including Coronavirus which is about 161 a day when spread over the year. So clearly. Undeniably. Non-coronations deaths this year are not "way up." You don't have to accept it. But it is a fact.

Well in 2019 there were 253,000 deaths in a March. Do you have the March total for this year? I just want to see for myself. Probably have too much free time on my hands these days!

Yes, cars maybe. But interest rates are low. So other than the people that can’t work due to the virus, those that can work from home have very little change in our lives. There won’t be a lot of people selling - there may be demand for homes (Due to rates) and no inventory. That may keep values at lease stable. It could drive prices up. Zillow isn’t a great tool to price a house for sale, but it’s solid for tracking trends over time. The market looks pretty stable.

My wife called and wanted me to get take out from our Chinese Restaurant of choice in Killingworth. I banned myself from eating Chinese since January. Well, the restaurant was closed. As was the North Madison restaurant.

Are you guys seeing any that are open? No, I'm not looking to go there.

8 years ago there was a couple running the North Madison one and the food was really good. Then the place closed for weeks. Then two guys were there and we gave it a chance a couple of times and it was bad. We found the Killingworth Great Wall (near Davinci's). Now the North Madison place has new people.

The March deaths for 2020 were not "way up." In reality, they were way down. The 253,000 in 2019 were high.

In March 2020 there were 193,000 deaths. About 34,000 less deaths than the average death in March for the past four years and way down from 2019's 253,000. The average number of deaths in the US for March over the four years prior to 2020 (2016 – 2019) is 227,000.

I think Jia Mei is still open.
 
I work for a large insurer in the state, we've extended our mandatory work from home through the end of May. Will be reevaluating in late May.

What's the evidence of this? Automotive deaths have to be way down. Crime is way way down. The doctors say that the hospitals, aside from COVID 19 cases, are empty. Nobody is going in to the hospital.
