FlamingLiberal posted:-States have also reopened too fast without really listening to health officials. A lot of public health officials have either resigned in protest or been fired because they were not saying the 'right' things about the spread of the virus Not to mention “resigned because they got death threats”.

I've accepted my fate and now am just dedicating as much time as possible to appreciating my wife, calling my folks, and going fishing. There is a nice little pond on the back half of my grandpa's property that has good-sized bass in it. I like to sit on the bank and just throw a line. No people. No cars. No casinos. Just me and the pond. I'm tired y'all. I won't be back in this thread. Too depressing. I'll be at the pond.

We don't know the exact magnitude of this difference so the ACTUAL death rate is indeed impossible to accurately determine, but it is less than 5% Edit: it is also much MUCH more deadly in the elderly and those with certain pre-existing conditions, so "population death rate" and "chance of a specific poster dying if they are infected" are also not the same thing.

This has a tendency to give you a pre-existing condition even if it doesn't kill you. Really though a nation with a lower CFR tends to be one ahead in testing so the at risk don't get it. Guess what we don't do?

The CFR of Iceland, which did pretty extensive testing and had a low case count, is 0,5%. So that's a nice estimate of a best case scenario. France has a CFR just below 20%, but they've tested 21K / million, which is pretty low. Denmark has a pretty high test coverage of 172K / million, and a CFR of 5%. Sweden has 8% CFR and 40 K / million tests. UK has a 14% CFR and 133K / million tests. With CFR all over the place, we don't really have a good idea yet. Countries are counting deaths differently. But nothing indicates a massive fall in CFR from high test coverage. *Anyone* can get a test in Denmark for free, and we're still at 5% CFR. The US is at a 5% CFR now. Nothing we've seen in other countries indicate that this goes down as case counts go up. It goes down once the number of new cases is low. Every prior experience with the epidemic from other countries indicate that we're seeing thousands of future deaths being added to the US "backlog" deaths every single day. I really hope new case counts start going down soon, because out-of-control Covid-19 in the US, apart from the tragedy of unnecessary human life by itself, heralds troubled times for the rest of the world as well.

I think CFR is strongly influenced by the amount of testing you do during the peak of the outbreak when most infections occur. In most European countries testing was insufficient early on so most non severe cases were missed. Then testing was ramped up but now most tests are negative so they contribute few new cases while inflating the number of total tests per million. In Russia the outbreak was delayed and when it took off they had enough testing capacity to track it, so they currently show a CFR of like 1.4%, a tenth of the UK with the about the same number of tests per million inhabitants.

In that case you should probably buy an actual sleep mask rather than trying to repurpose a surgical mask, they're way more comfortable.

It doesn't look big enough to be an actual mask though? E: Although most of the sleep masks I've seen have a nose groove cut out, maybe the masky part is super scrunched-up?

It's scrunched up. It's a face mask.

This is a good demonstration of the value of masks. Early in December I was thinking about what to buy to prepare for this thing and somebody posted a good study saying exactly this and it made me reconsider the usefulness of masks. From past experience I already knew the masks wouldn't actually keep me from getting airborne poo poo - they filter some but not remotely all of the air you breathe due to the unavoidable gaps between your face and the mask so they're not really great for protecting yourself. But it turns out they catch almost all of the poo poo coming out of your mouth really well - so it's still worth wearing a mask to protect everyone else from whatever I might have.
