New SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 Thread

Ironically, I had this week booked off from work months ago.
Even if Baby Trudeau does go into full lock down mode, I still have to go back to work, as I have been classified as "essential".

Is this going to get flagged?

Atleast there is talk about lowering the quarantinemeasures for younger notashighrisk people, if the percentages show significant differences in combination with alot of testing.

Dangerous but possible if it doesn´t explode the charts.
Probably a positive for having a low childbirthrate resulting in lower scooltransmission.
Still better to do a local test like that, than going into full lockdown for a maybe 2nd wave again.

This just feeds into the false narrative about young people and COVID-19.

Over 20% of the hospitalizations due to Corona are younger than 44. If you expand that even higher to the 65 threshold it's over 40%.

Nearly half of all ICU and severe cases requiring hospitals, are from "younger people".

I dont know what people consider "old", but this notion that the virus only is severe for older people is absolutely false.

The NY data is more alarming, and also take into account lowered immune system issues and other underlying health issues.

Reducing quarantine levels for younger people isnt based on good science at all, and if anyone expects young people to never interact with "older " people for months on end, its wildly unrealistic.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO SOCIAL DISTANCE OR QUARANTINE.

If they dont it's not a quarentine at all, and is doomed to fail.

As mentioned just talks for now.
I´m not informed about the local ratios, but i guess they will be evaluated in a week or two.

Depends on what currency you want to spend, Education of the growing stock is how our capitalist part makes money, i´m under the opinion that if we lock down the scools (under 16age) for the next two years (we don´t know yet how much quarantine is neccessary for a full wipe of the infected harddrive), we´ll pretty much run out of educated* medical staff earlier for the future generations.

scooling/study over the web works best on over18´s , when they know they have to learn and what.
locking down the kindergardens leaves alot of social training on the road.
The universities weren´t closed during the black plague, they blossomed.


Government also plans to test healthy people for no reason, maybe there´s some percentage of immunized and not knowing.

We survive these shit !

We're on day one of the nationwide four week lockdown, and already people in most of my Facebook groups are acting angry and stressed out. I think half the population might kill each other by the end of week four.

So far ten confirmed cases in my health care district, if news are to be trusted. Gotta dig real hard if you want to find numbers for confirmed cases around the country; almost every news site used to have a graphic of some sort to depict that, but since a week or two ago they're all gone. The secrecy seems almost intentional, and if it's to avoid the 'nah no cases 'round here, we no need to caer' - attitude, I'm fairly ok with it.

Over half of the confirmed cases are around the metropolitan area; they just decided to close off the area on Friday to hopefully prevent serious spread to the rest of the country. You can guess how that went... thousands (some sources read tens of thousands) of people from the metropolitan area left for other parts of the country, summer cottages, relatives etc. for the duration of the lockdown (three weeks). Now we just gotta hope that not too many of these exiles are playing Plague Bearer builds...

Overall not expecting a huge outbreak around where I live. The population density is low enough to prevent that.

Makes you wonder - however will we handle that ever-prophecised time when a lot of the economy is automated and we finally get those 15-hour work weeks Keynes' promised us?...

Yesterday was my first full day of freedom from quarantine. I went bungee jumping to celebrate.

My wife was...displeased lol.
