Quote:This Is How Many People Die From the Flu Each Year, According to the CDC While everyone is in a panic about the coronavirus (officially renamed COVID-19 by the World Health Organization), there's an even deadlier virus many people are forgetting about: the flu. Flu season is hitting its stride right now in the US. So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000. The CDC also estimates that up to 31 million Americans have caught the flu this season, with 210,000 to 370,000 flu sufferers hospitalized because of the virus.

Even though the virus doesn't take weekends off, apparently the people at the CDC who have nothing to do most of the year still get weekends off. You should fully expect these mortality numbers to improve every single day that testing is done and the results are updated. Do Right, Be Right. :)

The case fatality rate (#deaths/#infected) is widely quoted as anything from 2-10%, but in reality nobody knows because they didn't have tests back then. All they could do is look at symptoms. So the ACTUAL case fatality rate might have been much lower. In reality, we will never know. But even with a lower case fatality rate, because it was so infectious it still killed a lot of people. ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake Happy New Year, WISHY.

Quote:Now, as the number of new reported cases in China slows to a trickle, millions of residents are still restricted by the government to their homes; they're not even allowed to go outside to shop for groceries. Instead, the residents CNN spoke to said they have to rely on designated neighborhood committees to make group orders for daily necessities -- often at a higher price.

SIX: There's no evidence of that yet. The testing that has already been done has shown a much smaller mortality rate blah blah blah BUT NOT FOR THE ELDERLY. That's why I specifically posted about grandma and grandpa. That's why I posted the picture of the rows of coffins and convoys of military trucks carrying bodies: Because even if you restrict the high fatality rate to the elderly, that still means a lot of people will die Now, maybe TO YOU grandma and grandpa are just inconveniently attenuated useless eaters who should have politely keeled over a couple of decades ago, but most Americans aren't as callous as that. Yeah, they can stomache killing foreigners by the millions, as long as those are brown people thousands of miles away and they don't have to see it on their TV screen, but let that happen to "them and theirs" (or to someone the press convinces could have been them and theirs) and they will demand vengeance ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake #STAYTHEFUCKHOME

But then, with schools and so many businesses closed, there are probably a lot more adults at home than usual, and they're shopping at normal working hours. I saw more masks than just us. I saw one at Ralph's, but five at Stater Bros. Ralph's had a sign posted that they were going to let in only 50 at opening, and 25 per 10 minutes thereafter. It didn't seem to change the crowding; I think this was "business as usual" for them (except maybe the morning of Super Bowl Sunday) but boy, were the shelves bare!!!" We've known for at least a week to #STAYTHEF*CKHOME Lemmings gotta shop... SIXSTRINGJACK: "As far as stores are concerned around me, I can only speak about two of them and report that it's pretty much just as bad as you hear on the news. Went to Aldi around 5 days back... Yesterday I went back, first thing in the morning. Chili with beans was back in stock and full, but all the peanut butter was wiped out. The entire frozen food locker was empty (no beef, no vegetables). Milk was wiped out. No bread. Went to the dollar store after that and although the store as a whole didn't look nearly as bad, toilet paper and towels were gone as well as any hand sanitizers. Surprisingly, the ingredients to make your own sanitizers were still in stock. I know that Amazon was sold out of all of that, so it looks like the DIYers haven't raided all the dollar stores yet." Do you folks know what a virus is? Only 2 days ago, probably after posting death and infected numbers online: KIKI: "I was running errands today, and everybody seems to be doing their best to comply with best practices, but they're all doing something different! At AAA where I went to re-up my car registration, they were asking people at the door if they were healthy before they let you in. And the stanchions were set WAY back from the counter, but there was no 'social distancing' for people in line. But then there were hardly any lines. Then I went shopping at Whole Foods. It's kind of a long drive, so I go maybe every 6 to 8 weeks and stock up on things I can't get anywhere else. There was someone standing at the door asking if you were healthy but people were wandering in anyway. Despite that, it was relatively empty. And BOY! were there a lot of empty shelves! Then I went to Trader Joe's. They had someone spritzing everybody's hands with sanitizer, and another person wiping the cart handles with sanitizing wipes before you went in. And they made sure of it! No spritz, no cart-handle wipe, no entry!! OTOH the spritz was really volatile and the handle wipe one perfunctory swipe. So while I appreciate their intentions and diligence, I'm not sure it does much good. Anyway, the store was empty as well, along with a crap-ton of empty shelves. But no social distancing in lines, and none between the cashier and patron." Damn! Peoples was everywhere! But they looked okay to me, and since infected people have a red light over their heads I knew I was okay... derrrrrrrrrr....

I no longer do our usual weekly restaurant thing with dear daughter, which is a shame because it's to help her socialize, but also stopped her participation in a gym program - another shame, as it was also to help her learn how to socialize without mom or dad present. I'm not running out every day to pick up something I forgot the day before. I use a mask, which not only protects ME, it actually does a better job of protecting EVERYONE ELSE. I have given a few masks to pharmacy clerks. When you've stayed at home for a whole week or two, then you can tell me about it. Otherwise #SHUTTHEFUCKUP
