wyoak posted:deaths per square mile is a bad metric, deaths per 100k is the right thing to look at....and Bumfuck Idaho probably won't get hit as hard per capita as NYC by this once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully) pandemic, but rural areas suffer higher death rates from 'traditional' killers like heart disease and cancer. Goon from Bumfuck Idaho checking in. I specifically live in Bonner County, home of Sandpoint, where that Bundy chucklefuck has been dicking around. Rural areas are a mixed bag. Less population density. ~40k people in the county and less than a quarter of that live in town. I have a Sandpoint address, but live 15 miles out of town. We've had a delayed effect of getting to watch hot spots from a distance, so a lot more prep time here. We actually have a pretty modern hospital downtown and they have had testing and emergency facilities in place for a few weeks. We also have a pretty good blend of folks that can understand the need for safety, and piles of idiots that can only think of "my freedoms!" Anyways, only 3 confirmed cases in the county so far. About one a week for the last 3 weeks. After this Easter weekend, I'll be watching the case numbers in the following two weeks to see how we go. I have a fear too many locals won't take things seriously and start meeting up for services and family this weekend. I've been following the local counts here: http://panhandlehealthdistrict.org/covid-19/ Kootenai county is next door. Their count of 42 cases has been growing slowly but steadily so far.

What if the way it get worst is someone caught it by touching surfaces, they they start spreading it by talking and sneezing around other people and it go into the airway directly(throat and lungs for example) and that how the worst cases gets it? the cases in China where young healthy doctors got seriously ill seemed to be related to them performing aerosolizing procedures on patients without adequate protection so yeah it does seem that if you deeply inhale a shitload of the virus you're going to have a bad time of it

Xibanya posted:I've heard a theory that the severity of the infection may be related to level of exposure to virus, hence why HCW seem to get it really bad, and some people not bad at all. I assumed it was because HCW are running themselves ragged, not getting enough sleep, probably not eating properly, and are generally walking shambles because of the increased caseloads and possibly hours. If you're healthy (no pre-existing health conditions) but you're in such a state that your body is essentially compromised, then it's likely to really take its toll on you. Does this sound plausible?

Yeah I've posted in it but I generally try and avoid it because every time I go in there I end up buying $300 of new LEGO sets.

My fever’s down substantially today, though yesterday it dropped before coming back decently (102.5) at night so who knows how that’ll go the rest of the day. Still can’t say more than a sentence without coughing up a lung for a bit, and when I do cough poo poo up it’s thicker than it was a day or two ago. Holy poo poo I’m tired though. Slept ten lovely, broken hours last night and then slept for three hours this afternoon. It’s improvement but I really wish it would improve faster.

Xibanya posted:I thought it hadn't been confirmed yet that you could catch it twice? The theory was that people who were thought to have caught it twice actually had one of this fucker's brainfuck false recovery periods? There seems to be more evidence from South Korea that some people are getting reinfected: https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20200410006500320 They are still trying to work out exactly what is going on with those cases though. It could be false negatives after a lull in symptoms and then another wave hits them. The article mentions they are doing some more thorough tests for antibodies etc.

When I get to this point with ‘Pandemic’ the game, I wait for society to open up and pivot to a high mortality rate. The next wave is going to be huge, and we won’t react fast enough in the US. A fast opening of the economy will kill so many people.

There was a point where most of the positive tests for the virus in New Zealand were coming from the US (we had cases coming in from NJ before it spread substantially to NYC). I'm mostly concerned that the US will open up and start infecting other countries again. Of course I'm quite concerned that the number of deaths in the UK and the US are still increasing at an exceptional rate. Hopefully this will start decreasing soon. https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest

The next wave or the other side of the peak is probably going to see much higher fatality rates considering they're burning through health care workers due to deaths or infections causing massive health issues. The more of them we lose, the less capable the care for those infected, and the higher the rate of fatalities from Covid and everything else. If there is a semi-functional healthcare system left in the US by this time next year, I will be surprised. (insert morbid joke that there wasn't one before the pandemic)

Things that make me mad: People claiming that the death toll isn't accurate because some countries are listing deaths of people simply with Covid-19, but were not killed outright by it. Apparently if you have an existing condition and your body gives out while under attack from a virus, the virus didn't kill you it was the underlying condition. Its such a loving weird point of contention.

I'm in the bay area and haven't heard of a single person here with it that I know, or even a friend's friend with it. A colleague is in Colorado and his over the road neighbor has it, and his mother just died of it, she was in a nursing home somewhere in the Midwest. A friend fled NYC and went into quarantine in San Diego for 14 days and seems ok (yeah, I know, bad but I had nothing to do with it) He said "only crazy people walk around outside now in NYC. Also if you need any specific item you have to ship for it for 3-4 days in a row to be guaranteed to get it". I know someone here in the bay area who has cancer and she insists on driving to her boyfriend's house to see him a couple of times a week. She has a roommate, the boyfriend has several. Boyfriend tried to get her to stop but she's like, "I have cancer. You need to support me." And screams and cries until he just gives in. Charming poo poo!
