"lmao"quote:As of Friday morning, African Americans made up almost half of Milwaukee County’s 945 cases and 81% of its 27 deaths in a county whose population is 26% black. Milwaukee is one of the few places in the United States that is tracking the racial breakdown of people who have been infected by the novel coronavirus, offering a glimpse at the disproportionate destruction it is inflicting on black communities nationwide. https://www.propublica.org/article/early-data-shows-african-americans-have-contracted-and-died-of-coronavirus-at-an-alarming-rate/

Finicums Wake posted:it's funny that china's reported numbers of infected and dead were scrutinized endlessly, and the state was blamed for the faulty information that initially was coming out. but in the US, which is too incompetent to gather the data in the first place, these statistics are either taken at face value. or, if they are criticized, it's never the government that's held responsible, or any other actor or entity really capitalism gives you a thousand different actors to spread the responsibility around Homeless Friend has issued a correction as of 02:05 on Apr 5, 2020 |

Singapore may have gotten lax. my friend is there and it turns out the infection is starting to spread and they might lock down in a few days.

https://twitter.com/flanaganagain_/status/1246547865532534791 cobol is a programming language used in mainframes (huge expensive servers). basically the only option for enterprise computing in the 60s 70s and 80s. as you would expect most cobol engineers are quite old. the core systems of many banks still run on cobol

Charlz Guybon posted:It's already 1345 which is more than the 1321 yesterday. Probably going to hit 1500 today. American case and fatality reporting is meaningless. There will never be an accounting of how hard this hits the US. Health systems have no interest in accurate reporting since their insistence on understaffing and understocking has left them unprepared, and local, state, and the federal government have no interest in accurate reporting since it will cost them re-election. I really hope someone takes the time down the road to analyze the stats and figure out how many more pneumonia/ARDS deaths there are this year. It's going to be a looooooot.

This is also why I repeatedly tell health care workers to keep a death log because that type of documentation is extremely important if people try to hide deaths

Its going to be hard for them to really hide it though because that depends on the compliance of health care workers who they are currently making GBS threads reaaaaal hard on.

The trend might be showing but the figures are nowhere near reality.

I am so loving gassy from all these beans. I thought I was supposed to get used to this, jesus... I'm going to be celibate by the time this is over if I keep eating beans. My wife will leave me. Also Texas isn't letting me recert my 18 months expired paramedic so I can't join the fun yet. Maybe they'll let me soon...

Just crazy to think about how delicate our existence is in this chaotic universe that we barely understand. But yeah it could be just as likely that our dumbass monkey brain pareidolia acting up again and there's no "pattern" at all.

They have specific utility in that even if the actual number is off by 10x you can still predict the real peak within like ~8 days. Think of it like polling. You call 500 people and then you extrapolate that out to 300,000,000 people and get pretty close.

The current 2.83% fatality is going to make enough waves given how many people are going to get it. We're talking close to three million fatalities labeled COVID if 100 million get it. And when where talking that scale, people are sure as hell going to notice if the real fatality rate is 5% or god forbid, 10%. The scale of the disaster is not going to be a secret.

I keep wondering to myself if the real reality is that 25-30 million are going to die and we are going to look back with wild-eyed, manic joker grins at the days when we were talking about 2 million dead being the max
