@guardian said in be honest are you worried about corona:
“Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.”
I think everyone thinks hard, but it smells politically strongly... = COVID regulation by country
my question is where was the COVID until september 1???????????
(did he / she vacation all summer?)he / she certainly didn’t fry his belly in the sun, because I was in the room - ......and I watched the beach from the window
so who they want to mislead....????
otherwise the whole world is irresponsible when it comes to who and how to spend their free time...
where is the social distance keeping.... during the summer??? hmmmm
just watch the china values!https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

+++edit:
Yeah and don’t forget, this world is driven by money, not sobriety and intelligence -

(did he / she vacation all summer?)Possibly. Graph from 1918 flu pandemic (US).

Jeah, jeah, they really just screened a series called "virus" on NAT GEO, I think 4 - 5 parts, I'm really in the picture...
you should also know that there was still cohesion among the peoples of the world at that time
just watch the example of smallpox -
@provels I too am retired, so am not required to go out every day. Because of my age I and my wife are at risk of complications of COVID-19. Even if I/we survived infection the lasting effects could basically render the rest of our lives a waste due to heart and lung damage.
I am taking this very seriously by making even limited social contact with almost no one outside my house.
I live in a US state (VT) that is doing an extremely good job at controlling the virus. Our governor and commissioner of health along with other state officials rely on data and science and to a lesser extent economics to make decisions about how to proceed. We have opened up much of our economy including schools and colleges with little change in virus levels. However, states surrounding us all have higher rates of infection so we are watching this closely.
Stay healthy everyone...

I am also very worried.. But i just hope that its get better some day...
In Germany there is a second wave incoming... hopefully it gets under control soon enough.
Stay save everybody

Second (third?) wave well underway here in USA. 120,000 cases per day, a million cases in TX. Reefer trucks being used as morgues in El Paso, TX.
"Just noticed my original bookmark for www.worldometers.info worldwide data...
"Coronavirus Update (Live): 73,438 Cases and 1,875 Deaths from COVID-19 Wuhan China Virus Outbreak - Worldometer"
Worldwide. How quaint. And here were told it would go away after November 3rd.

@provels You just can't make this stuff up. The claims would almost be funny, in a willfully stupid kind of way, if it didn't represent dead people. Pence, chairman of the virus task force, was going to go on vacation. He canceled it. Not to attend to the virus but to attend to the farce election fraud claims. Still not laughing...

Alec Baldwin is refusing to leave Saturday Night Live. Now laughing.

@jwj
You made me laugh and woke my dog! -
And we're back to the serious side.

avoid gathering, it's not too scary

I am, personally, more worried about authoritarian government overreach than I am about the 'rona.
But, admittedly, you could
s/the 'rona/pretty much anything/.This is just the latest boogeyman. "Never let a crisis go to waste."
That graph is meaningless without knowing how many tests were conducted to arrive at those numbers.
15 days to slow the spread.

Positivity is around 10%, so about 10x.
-
Around?
Positivity rates, hospitalization rates, death rates.
Number of cases is meaningless.
And everyone is going to get it one way or another. Might as well live life.

@Gertjan
Flagged for content inappropriate to topic! ;) -
here in Italy the main problem is not so much the virus but rather the fact that hospitals are unable to manage patients because there are too many. they are balancing the lock down to prevent the collapse of the health system.
now the problem is if people are to die for starving or for the corona
bitter truth.. people who commit suicide out of desperation cost less -
Well yes

Based on World-O-Meter at the time of writing:
Deaths = 258333
US Population = 331765033% of population = 258333*100/331765033 = 0.077%
Unless I'm missing something, it seems to be absoulutely crazy to locker everythong down.
