If you live in the SW, this can probably be done by parking in the sun with your windshield facing south or southwest.

Sorry to confuse you - I am math challenged and was going from memory. I should have said ~8k. (~27k -~19k). I had an 11k number in my head from yesterday.
Garbage in garbage out, I guess.
Yes that is what I meant.
I was trying to calculate how many *cases* had not been assigned an age. But those seem to not have the same issues. (Totals nearly match....I think...)
Anyway, probably not worth discussing this table too much more. Suffice to say it is another significant datapoint that seems to suggest around 1% IFR.

For the doctors in this thread. What are your thoughts about treating COVID with statins ?

The datapoint with the largest sample size so far, AFAIK, with 60,000.
As a far as I can tell from using google translate on various official statistics, Spain generally refers to cases as "confirmed", and the death numbers next to them are not marked specifically, yet appear to correspond to the worldometers numbers. If they included so-called "probable deaths", I would certainly expect that to be mentioned. They obviously don't include so-called "excess deaths". So both those numbers would be distinctly larger than 1.1x%.

Having trouble wrapping my head around the molecular mechanism on statins. ACE inhibitors I could see a potential mechanism (note - that is NOT a treatment recommendation at this time from me).

Sure, not a perfect mitigation, so it's not a substitute for distancing / masks / gloves / hand-washing / etc. (None of these things are substitutes for any of the others.) Likewise, seatbelts are not perfect, so we have airbags, but airbags are not perfect, so we have seatbelts.
Alameda county is the new SF bay area "hot spot". Not good news for the Tesla factory...

More deaths in Alameda from rioting and murder:

Oakland shooting leaves one dead.

I got to defend CA there. Who knows why, but in the last two weeks cases increased in Alameda (excluding Berkeley) by an amount that I would roughly guess to correspond to maybe 7-9 deaths above previous level (their total being 95). As far as I can tell, that didn't happen in SF for example. I wouldn't make a big fuss about it, but paranoid it doesn't seem to me. A question is whether that might lead to an exponential increase.
Could be just increased testing, though.
EDIT: However, hospitalized non-ICU also went up since 5/25.

San Francisco mayor is an idiot. Not the only political leader that fits that description, there's a confederacy of them across America. San Francisco’s homeless deaths have tripled. Advocates blame city neglect during pandemic

Real world you might have more than 10000 units of coronavirus hanging around. You don't need to up the temperature though, you could do two 15 minute cycles back to back and that would kill more virus than a single cycle.
It's all a matrix of heat over time. Increase the temp and you can do it for less time to get the same effect but you also increase damage to items in the car that are susceptible to heat and aren't viruses. Increase the time at the same temp and it's more effective but doesn't expose materials in the car to the higher temps.
Some good news? Makes sense, Italy has been slowly opening for weeks and deaths have gone way down. New coronavirus losing potency, top Italian doctor says
Instead of Britney, or Celine "Vegas" should bring in the televangelists. Huge crowds that don't care about covid-19 would follow. Vegas mayor is on to something
wait a minute this is the plot from a Stephen King book 
Quote: “Alameda County, along with most of its neighbors, has moved slowly toward reopening. And “because of what we’re seeing in just this week, I’m planning to be super conservative about what else we’ll allow,” said Health Officer Erica Pan in an interview.”
It’s clear that Tesla would not have been allowed to restart operations for weeks, maybe months, if Elon hadn’t forced the issue.
To put things in perspective, those hardest hit areas in Alameda County have about the same number of cases (per 100K) as Belgium, and we’re about to open the bars and restaurants next week. But we only have 1% positive test cases currently, which is much lower than the peak of 11% in some of those Alameda counties.
