Your right big_greg it IS about the math which is why instituting a travel ban and then claiming “mission accomplished accomplished”

Visiting audio stores?
This is probably the last concern on many people's minds, so I'm raising this just in case anyone feels like relaying their experience.
I've become pretty cautious about where I go and why. So, for me, I'm not going to any audio stores to listen to gear, out of caution about the virus. I do feel concern for these stores and how it will impact them. Are folks going? Anyone running an audio store who wants to comment? How are you coping? Are you changing any policies or running any more sales online? Changes in trial periods to help more people try out gear remotely?
Again, this is a minor concern given the larger dimensions of this virus situation, but I thought I'd reach out with a question.

Hey mc, your math is all hosed up. Try to keep up with the discussion. For one thing the correct term is mortality rate, not fatality rate. The mortality rate for any country can be easily calculated on the fly, as I have done the past couple weeks, since the number of confirmed cases and deaths are kept up to date on the Johns Hopkins database. As I posted this morning the mortality rate in the US is falling and is currently about 5 times less than Italy, which probably has the highest mortality rate, or maybe Iran. Spain is not far behind if I recall correctly. |
Do vaccines against pneumonia protect you against the new coronavirus? No. Vaccines against pneumonia, such as pneumococcal vaccine and Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine, do not provide protection against the new coronavirus. The virus is so new and different that it needs its own vaccine. Researchers are trying to develop a vaccine against 2019-nCoV, and WHO is supporting their efforts. |
According to my calculations....the US mortality rate is falling. It’s 1.78 this morning. It was almost 3.0 a week ago. In Spain it’s almost 4.0. In Italy almost 8.0. In U.K. it’s 3.6. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ |
andrewkelly@geoffkait call your Friends in Europe and see how real it isn’t. Ask them about the hospital beds in the bunkers and in the hallways ask him about the people falling like dominoes. This is definitely serious. It’s that kind of cavalier attitude that ends up getting people sick. Just wait till the kids get home from spring break..... >>>>Huh? Cavalier attitude? What are you talking about? I have been on the front line of reality. Cut me some slack, Jack! |
Calm down, millercarbon. The dire predictions were for the case when nothing was done to stop the spread of the virus. I.e., flatten the curve. The problem is a steep curve of virus cases will lead to overwhelming the health system. Flattening the curve will spread the number of cases over a longer time period, which the health system can handle. That’s why there was such a big response here and Europe and elsewhere over the weekend and today. As of today there is no change in the slope of the curve for the US. It will take time for the new order to get traction. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ |
