Picnic Princess posted:Seeing reports from the west coast of Canada that ferries between Vancouver Island and the mainland were filled to capacity. Good job, guys. It's bad, but not quite as bad as it sounds. On April 4 the Vancouver Island to the mainland most routes were cut down to half as many sailings (with one route canceled entirely) because traffic was down 80% on all routes. The commercial traffic remained nearly the same, the drop was mostly from non-commercial traffic. https://www.bcferries.com/current_conditions/travel-advisory.html So even if most people who would have normally made the trip for Easter weekend called it off, relatively few irresponsible travelers would still be able to pack the remaining sailings to capacity. On my way to the drugstore today there was a lot more traffic on Blanshard Street than last weekend. But still nowhere near as much as a normal Saturday, much less a holiday weekend Saturday. Plus you have to pass a covid quiz to be allowed onboard. Luckily the website has a cheat sheet that tells you the right answers, lol.  Flawless.

Xenocides posted:Yep, same here. Back before everyone moved to work from home and I could leave the house I was popping Claritin like crazy to avoid scaring people. I went to help with charitable food deliveries today and did the same thing. These allergies have me constantly on edge and my allergies often leave me old man coughing up mucus with a dry cough so I look and sound like a Corona Mary.  I have a mild reactive asthma that the allergies can kick off, so I can very much sympathize.

Plague diary, day 7 update: coughing less today, but much more feverish. Have had a 99 degree fever since at least noon. It feels like I got a big sunburn. Chest tightness still, usually not pain though, but sometimes. Eyes are good today so far, not even red, but last night they hurt a LOT and there was a lot of gunk in 'em this morning. I feel a bit short of breath but not in a way that makes me suffer more than anxiety about it getting worse. However, I feel more tired and more achy today than before, and I'm definitely not better than yesterday. This thing definitely seems to pull back in the morning and get worse in the evening. I had a phone appointment with my psychiatrist (the appointment had been made months ago, I've been seeing her a few times a year going back to 2013.) she was very concerned when I said I hadn't yet actually called my primary care physician or gotten tested. (We spent like half the time just addressing my physical state and the appointment ended up being more than twice as long as our appointments usually are, haha.) She told me of cases she knew of where things were like mine but got drastically worse in the 2nd week, including a friend of hers personally. She impressed upon me that regardless of whatever severity I perceived my case to have, I needed to have a plan made in case things did get worse: what hospital would I go to, who would take me there, etc. So after my call with her, I called the clinic of my primary care physician. My PCP was not available, but they had a "trauma nurse" call me back a few minutes later. She discussed my symptoms with me, and she wanted me to come in to the physical location tomorrow so they can jam a stick up my nose. The last time I made an appointment the soonest they could have me in was 2 weeks later, so I was impressed by how quickly everything was arranged. So that's where I'm at. Seems the second week of this thing is the real make-or-break point if it doesn't knock you on your rear end right out the gate. How exciting  Anyhow, my takeaway from today is that seems the general consensus among medical professionals now is even mild cases should call about it. They're not worried about the phone lines getting clogged up, just physical beds.

Only a total jerk would lie. Yeah, it's a cheat sheet that's mostly aimed at giving decent/uninformed folks one last chance at thinking about traveling when they're at all symptomatic. If traffic is down by ~80%, that's should be dramatically cutting the extent to which it's a vector in either direction anyway.

EL BROMANCE posted:The lower the official COVID number the better it looks for authorities. "Our measures meant we only lost 12 people to the virus!" while ignoring the thousands who died of 'underlying conditions' reads better for them, even if everyone knows they're full of poo poo. Only 31 people died because of the radiation at Chernobyl!

Bape Culture posted:I’m amazed how well the US is doing so far for deaths. I think per capita it must be one of the lowest. That's just how viruses work. The USA is a big country and the virus doesn't infect everybody at once. On the other hand it has a lot more people to eventually infect. Smaller countries will have always have a higher per capita rate until the bigger ones catch up.

California, which has the highest population, has done a really good job of shutting everything down. That said, Florida and the south are going to be absolutely demolished. Especially when over-eager governors there open everything back up and the infection rate spikes again, and again, and again, and again.

In canada as of April 9 we've had 569 deaths out of a total population of 37,894,799. About 15 deaths per million people. In the USA there are 20,463 out of 328,239,523. 62 deaths per million. In Italy there's 19,468 deaths out of a population of 60,317,116. 324 deaths per million. Yay we're all doing better than italy! Woo!

US is so big and the states have had such a variety of responses depending on the local politics and current infection rate it's more like 50 independent countries with super porous borders than one united nation

A lot of covid deaths in at least New York and probably elsewhere are recorded as pneumonia or other respiratory causes due to a lack of tests In this article where a NYC ambulance driver talks about dealing with covid he picks up 12 dead people in one day, most likely all covid victims, and zero of them are recorded as such. And that's just one ambulance crew in one day. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52196815?fbclid=IwAR3BATG6GnTqx4e6D4esLgdi7oKQRBsvw1TRxKyrVlMIi4I86ENe1lqbfQw Sure there are probably loads of non-fatal cases also going untested and unreported but all the same I don't think we can really read too much in to official figures right now, if neither cases nor deaths are being reported accurately Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Apr 12, 2020 |
