Also, latest analysis by the NYT has calculated the fatality rate at 2.3%. Relatively speaking, that is 20X that of the common FLU of 0.1%.
Of those infected, 14% experienced severe symptoms and approximately 5% become critical. 30% of those deceased were in their 60s, 30% were in their 70s, 20% were 80 or older. The remainder were younger than 60. 65% of the fatalities were male.

Hate to be the one to say it, but should not all Countries of the World restrict all unnecessary travel between boarders until we know what we are dealing with. The Worlds economy will come back if it;s just a false alarm or a cure (vaccine is found) is discovered.
I mean come on it is time to say this shit is real.
Iām trying to find a sector thatās not going to be affected, outside of farming, that is.
I hope folks here realize that a lot of led chips are made in China.
As of today, you can buy a 4 pack of 2700k 15 watt screw-in bulbs for $5 US.
Those of us who plan on building the DIY types that @Mr.Sparkle, @ReikoX , many others build, should expect to see price increases and limited availability.
This is something that Iāve been considering lately; what happens if this hits very hard locally?
Assuming electricity is available, a period of in-house, in-place quarantine would lead to a shortage of fresh vegetables and fruit.
These leds we have can also be used to grow micro greens very quickly. Iāve grown lettuce, radishes, onions and other greens to edibility indoors.
Maybe not enough to provide for a family but a refreshing break from a steady diet of rice and beans.
Yeah I remember 3g being a mind control conspiracy theory floating aroundā¦come to think of it thatās about the time the world got glued to these little screens
People once thought it was unsanitary to use indoor toilets. They couldnāt imagine crapping inside their house. It took a generation to catch on. It was once thought a human wouldnāt be able to breathe properly in an automobile going over 30 mph. Canāt fight it. That being said, the rate of technological and social change keeps increasing. I honestly kind of feel bad for the older generation, Iām surprised they get along as well as they do.
Which means absolutely nothing at all, considering the source.
Still, pandemic numbers often fluctuate. If this is indeed true, govts. around the world are taking notes on just how barbarous they have to be to get a handle on this.
Yes, the numbers have been goal seekād since day one. Lots of experts in the field are saying the same and not trusting any of the numbers.
The cruise ship āexperimentā is probably a more trust worthy set of numbers and that was just out of control. The numbers ex-china are trending up currently.
Now just imagine a person who is infected going into a large prison system.
Remember virus is now in the sewer pipes (communication system of the jail)
