the #1 reason I'm pretty sure what I had in early March wasn't the roni is because it was only 36 hours of pure hell followed by 5 days of miserable slow recovery, which seems too mild from a lot of what I've seen

Azathoth posted:Back when poo poo was just starting to kick off, the estimate was that 40-70% of the US would get it eventually, the only question was when it would happen. I haven't seen any evidence that we're not still on that trajectory. the upper bound of that would mean the end of the united states as a nation state, so you should hope the media was just covering their bases in case of total failure by priming the pump for "everyone is going to get it" because if that does happen, hoo boy

You've got to hand it the GOP, they are gonna generate a great data-set on covid-19's R0. Once the real data is FOIA'ed in 10 years.

I just wish the fact that even in the non-critical cases where it's in its "mild" form that younguns are more likely to get, it's oftentimes like being run over by a killdozer and then having it back up and park on your chest, would get more coverage

Yeah exactly there's no new normal or deep national scars, we're just going to revert to the 19th century in terms of healthcare which is fine bc most people didn't have any healthcare meaningfully

What is the Kevin Bacon number for covid19? How many deaths do you need for someone to have at least a 99% chance of having at least one first or second degree of separation from a covid19 death? Right now I'm at 2 (that I know of!) so I would imagine we're gonna hit that KB number soon.etalian posted:1000 deaths a day is only 360k dead per year, great accomplishment! At that rate, how much is the birth rate gonna have to go up to stabilize population growth. Replacement rate pre-covid was 1.05 children per person (2.10 per woman is the official number). Looks like 360k dead each year is pretty close to 1/8 of the total deaths per year @ 2.8 million* so that's a 12.5% increase in rate of deaths per year. Although after 2-3 years of covid19 we might see a drop off in elderly deaths as it systematically burns out the nursing homes and prisons. * https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db355.htm
