Just checked that link mentioned earlier....

Numbers up since 4 March 92,860 to 97,876

A snippet from the Wiki article on the Spanish Flu:

It is estimated that one third of the global population was infected, and the World Health Organization estimates that 2–3% of those who were infected died (case-fatality ratio). Estimates vary as to the total number who died. An estimate from 1991 says it killed 25–39 million people.

That's about the same ratio as Corvid19's estimated mortality rate right?
BUT: I think we handle it quite well yet. 90.000 infected in 3 months doesn't really sound alarming to small me. But what do I know?
No numbers from India or Africa yet. I'm almost certain they have infected people there. Those people may just not have the luxury or time to go visit an informed doctor or get tested.
Well, 250 this morning in Germany. The number doubled within 2 or 3 days.
Still planning to visit the Therapy? concert on march 21st. Kinda ironic.

Spanish flu was especially deadly because of poor hygiene standards, lack of resources, ineffective hospitalization, and malnourishment. It also affected young, healthy adults because it was the height of globalization and most people hadn't seen avian flu before.

If you're healthy and don't live in a shithole third-world country, you'll be fine. Sorry gwamps :olo:

I guess you are talking about troup movements because of the War.
Yes, that is right.

We are at the height of (civil) globalization right now.

There's this guy Christian Drosden seen more and more often on german public TV lately. He is an expert on viruses from one of Germany's largest and most respected hospitals, the Charité in Berlin. He is an expert on viruses/epidemics/pandemics, professor and generally sounds absolutely honest in what he says when interviewed for public broadcast.

I try to get my own interpretations out of these translations. He always says that what is known at one point in time could change over the course of a week. He is brutally honest and not at all up for sensationalizing.

"We have to get the 1:3 infection rate down to 1:1." - Stagnation, no more spread of the virus.
"If 1:3 keeps going we will hit our (hospital-)capacity-ceiling within 6 months."
"We have to spread those numbers of new infections over a course of 24 months. That, we can handle."

"People die of old age. Every year 850.000 people die of symptoms of old age in Germany. Sicknesses in combination with weakened immune system, weak hearts, lungs. Cancer. ... Corvid19's tolls will not drastically change those numbers. Just slightly."

"From what we have observed so far together with the WHO the lethality-over-age curve looks similar to a W."
Infants and toddlers have not had the time to generate a fully functional immune system. They might die from just a severe bronchitis. Corvid19 attacks the respiratory system first; then might spread to organs especially the lungs as it seems.
Elderly people are hit by most of the same criteria. Their age and also especially their individual way of live has weakened their immune system in regards to respiratory infections and diseases.
But also middle aged people, full time in the workforce seem to be pretty vulnerable. Working outdoors in harsh conditions, stress and other factors could be relevant.

Lol the markets are collapsing... Good times...

Got out of a sizable holding a few weeks ago; the stock I ditched has dropped 30% since then

TSLA or AMD? :p

I cashed in my AMD stock last week. Pretty glad about that.

If anything I'd be buying now, the virus will be gone in a year and markets will surge again.

Who knows where the actual bottom is, though.

lol, Gramps’ Representative...

US MotoGP rescheduled to November. Ugh.

Get use to it. This thing is just beginning. Look for more and more sporting events and social functions to start to cancel. 2020 is going to be an absolute shit show. I guarantee it...(I know, wild prediction)

But seriously, this will get very bad...

Yep, this is gonna fuck up the NHL playoffs for sure.

The way Drumpf is handling things, I wouldn't be surprised if we learn he's contracted Covid-19 in the next few weeks. :rolleyes:
