Coronavirus

Israel will be starting a mandatory stay at home policy for the entire population, with some exceptions. Like allowing groups up to 10 for prayer. Or demonstrations.

Brilliant.

 

[Jetex Jim]

Doesn't Bavaria have a mandatory stay-at-home rule, since Saturday, as well? (Except to go to groceries etc, or to work)? And is actually handing out fines?

Yes it does and is, since yesterday. But the more enlightened ones have been voluntarily restricting social contact (following government advice) from the previous Saturday.

Demonstrations eh? And then they get symptoms and have to self isolate and can't demonstrate any more? Did I follow the process right?

In the absence of Karen here, one might ameliorate abstinence by following her twitter feed.
Here is an apropos thread:

Obviously they can always pray. Almost the same efficacy, we are told.

 

[TheTalkingMule]

Yes, deaths are still very low in Germany, less than a 100 for almost 25000 recorded infections. Possibly related to the very high ratio of ICU to population.

Yes, people are voluntarily staying in doors and have been avoiding unnecessary social contact.

But this is Germany. Do you imagine that the same conditions will/do apply in the USA?

In a word.....heeeeeeeeeeeell no.

In the same way Germans looked at the logic of Energiewende and approved it's astronomical costs at a 70% rate, the people there will comply with a logical coronavirus response in sufficient rates.

In the US? Our plan is to run around in a circle with a gun in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other shouting about gays in the military. We'll see how that turns out.

Probably excellent contact tracing.

I joke. The exceptions are so moronic I want to believe that trump was the consultant.

Obviously they can always pray.

You might be surprised how close you are to the truth.

The ultra-religious are exempt from otherwise mandatory military service because they have used their political sway to argue that prayer and bible study is an equal service. I have little doubt that prayer is grouped in the 'essential services' category. The groups up to 10 provision has to due with the religious rules of a 'minyan'

Then they turn to praying ...

Looking at Coronavirus Update (Live): 335,403 Cases and 14,611 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer looks like top 10 hit had a fall in new cases detected compared To Saturday except USA
Let’s hope this continues it might be a start of a trend in some of the country’s....

Am I seeing that correctly: The death rate among closed cases is 13% ? How does this number relate to the usually much lower numbers?

Easy math, just solve the integral.

This has absolutely not been proven. Most of the evidence is to the contrary. Also, the Coronavirus will not affect the housing stock (except for some deferred maintenance).

Just an example but all the evidence I've found has shown that economic contractions reduce mortality.

Okay. I'll tell my parents, who are about to lose their business (and health insurance) that even though they think they're dying because they're poor they're actually not. Because of this publication.

Earlier today NY report 11000 new cases, but now it's back down to 5500. Were they double counted originally?

I see the the numbers go up and down. Looks like this site is taking reports from various sources and may be reconciling duplicates daily.

NY is showing 15,801 right now with 5429 newly reported today.
