I was watching the White House press briefing today and thought one thing mentioned by the press secretary - the case fatality rate (CFR) Was interesting. Hopefully, without getting political I’d be interested in what you guys thought about the following chart which is similar to the one during the press briefing. I know you can pretty much find any statistic to prove your point, but I found this one interesting because not a single reporter questioned it which made me curious.





much find

 

[cloudsurf]

I would expect the case fatality rate to drop as more of the general public is tested. But it doesn`t look like it.

Soon Montreal will make wearing masks mandatory for enclosed public places. That I guess would include shopping centers, super markets but what about in calls and massage salons .

^^^^^ Up 3. NHL players. Was this their first test or were they tested before camp started?

I am on the TransMountain pipeline. With the virus we have a medic check out temp every morning, if in a vehicle and passenger is present all must wear masks, you must fill out a declaration every morning. Morning meetings have the 6' rule and all in masks. You do not follow these steps you are sent home.

Massage parlours more than likely, in calls are illegal so how can you make wearing masks mandatory for something that is illegal to begin with.
Agencies may make mask wearing mandatory at their in call however but I am sure some enterprising young lady will offer without Mask as an EXTRA lol.

 

[IamNY]

In NY we've been required to wear masks indoors and outdoors when you can't keep at least 6 feet apart. It's become second nature, like remembering to bring your keys with you when you leave the house. I keep one in the car just in case I forget it when I leave my home.

Sweden will still be a nice place to visit, after the Covid-19 pandemic is brought under control. And Swedish ladies are still gorgeous. For now, let's all play it safe and follow the science.

Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale
"Its decision to carry on in the face of the pandemic has yielded a surge of deaths without sparing its economy from damage — a red flag as the United States and Britain move to lift lockdowns."

Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale (Published 2020)

Its decision to carry on in the face of the pandemic has yielded a surge of deaths without sparing its economy from damage — a red flag as the United States and Britain move to lift lockdowns.

www.nytimes.com

"Ever since the coronavirus emerged in Europe, Sweden has captured international attention by conducting an unorthodox, open-air experiment. It has allowed the world to examine what happens in a pandemic when a government allows life to carry on largely unhindered.

This is what has happened: Not only have thousands more people died than in neighboring countries that imposed lockdowns, but Sweden’s economy has fared little better.

“They literally gained nothing,” said Jacob F. Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “It’s a self-inflicted wound, and they have no economic gains.”"

. . . .

"More than three months later, the coronavirus is blamed for 5,420 deaths in Sweden, according to the World Health Organization. That might not sound especially horrendous compared with the more than 129,000 Americans who have died. But Sweden is a country of only 10 million people. Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark."

. . . .

"Sweden’s central bank expects its economy to contract by 4.5 percent this year, a revision from a previously expected gain of 1.3 percent. The unemployment rate jumped to 9 percent in May from 7.1 percent in March. “The overall damage to the economy means the recovery will be protracted, with unemployment remaining elevated,” Oxford Economics concluded in a recent research note.

This is more or less how damage caused by the pandemic has played out in Denmark, where the central bank expects that the economy will shrink 4.1 percent this year, and where joblessness has edged up to 5.6 percent in May from 4.1 percent in March.

In short, Sweden suffered a vastly higher death rate while failing to collect on the expected economic gains."

Sad thing in the US is that there are too many politicians and not one state or even county that wants to agree with another.
They can’t even seem to adopt the policy of a couple of the states that have done things to curb the virus and are doing well.

They haven’t even been able to learn from countries who have obviously done things right.
We are now 5 months into this, perhaps it is time to listen to the health professionals and adopt the policy’s of the more successful countries, it is also time to stop this individuals selfishness and downright stubborn attitude by the people themselves of I won’t be told by anyone what to do.
I have always admired the US and it’s people on their patriotism and how they could face things head on and united as a country and people.
This time however they have not shown any leadership and continue this shit show of stubbornness and reckless regard for their fellow citizens,
It is not an excuse that there are many other countries like Brazil who have the same shit show going on.

Joni Ernst says 130,000 COVID deaths under Trump is a success while 2 Ebola deaths under Obama is a failure

Fradi, I agree with your comment above. Being from NY I had to take this pandemic very seriously from the beginning. I’ve said this in previous comments, but I’m grateful to have a solid leader in my governor. Cuomo was not perfect, but he demanded extra hospital beds, ventilators, PPE’s, etc. from the beginning to make sure that nobody in NY would be denied a hospital bed if they needed one. He also portrayed a sense of leadership and kissed the feds ass when he had to so he could protect the people in his state. Our neighbors in Connecticut and New Jersey have A similar story to tell. My freedom, for lack of a better word, was taken away from me during the beginning of the pandemic. Stay at home, long lines to buy groceries, coordinating with friends and family to get a damn roll of toilet paper just to wipe my ass, finding paper towels, hand sanitizer, and the list goes on and on. All of this happening while you didn’t know if by wearing something as simple as a mask would protect us. But we wore them because our governor insisted that we do by executive order. He had a press conference every day and gave us the facts and we came out the other side of this going from worst to best in the country.

Having lived through this past winter in fear for my life on a daily basis I have learned to appreciate the easing of restrictions and going to the beach or playing a round of golf at the Bethpage Black Course. Not so much around the rest of the country.

Many states just didn’t take it seriously enough at the beginning. Trying to have people stay at home or socially distance themselves is going to be tough to do now. I think a lot of the problem is that for example in NY we had it really really bad in the beginning and it slowly got better. Other places were ok for months and it’s now just getting really bad. I’m guessing it’s going to be hard to convince people to change their ways now. Also, for now, the deaths aren’t on the increase so people may be getting a false sense of calm unlike In NY where death was everywhere and it was impossible to avoid it.

True as a general comment about the 50 states, but NY, CT and NJ have been acting in unison from Day 1. Just call them New Jersicut or the "Tri State Team":

New Jersey moves on from Tri-State Travel Advisory, is Connecticut next?

New Jersey announced Wednesday it is leaving what was formerly known at the Tri-State Travel Advisory.

Warning of serious brain disorders in people with mild Covid symptoms

Doctors may be missing signs of serious and potentially fatal brain disorders triggered by coronavirus, as they emerge in mildly affected or recovering patients, scientists have warned.

Neurologists are on Wednesday publishing details of more than 40 UK Covid-19 patients whose complications ranged from brain inflammation and delirium to nerve damage and stroke. In some cases, the neurological problem was the patient’s first and main symptom ...

... “We’re seeing things in the way Covid-19 affects the brain that we haven’t seen before with other viruses,” said Michael Zandi, a senior author on the study and a consultant at the institute and University College London Hospitals NHS foundation trust.

“What we’ve seen with some of these Adem patients, and in other patients, is you can have severe neurology, you can be quite sick, but actually have trivial lung disease,” he added.
__________________________

Apart from fatalities, many doctors now fear that Covid-19 will leave behind an entire generation of disabled people. Contrary to what many think, there are many health conditions that cannot be diagnosed without invasive procedures. Doctors often don’t know what is causing their patients’ symptoms.

COVID-19: une clinique mobile à Mercier le 9 juillet

La Ville de Mercier confirme mardi qu’une clinique de dépistage mobile se tiendra le 9 juillet prochain au centre communautaire Roger-Tougas.

www.lapresse.ca

Saying to be very concerned about the magnitude of the events that have followed one another in the past few days, the City of Mercier asked the Montérégie Public Health Department that a mobile screening clinic be dispatched to the territory.
The information was confirmed in a press release on Tuesday afternoon.
"We are very pleased with the rapid response from the public health department and we offer them all of our logistical support," said Mercier mayor Lise Michaud.

Recall that the origin of a possible outbreak would be at least two parties, including one held in Saint-Chrysostome or sixty young people were present on June 28.
The Montérégie Public Health Department told La Presse that people present at a party in Saint-Chrysostome and another party elsewhere on the South Shore were declared positive at COVID-19.

Many young people do not think of others and especially of all the collateral damage.

Which means that the coronavirus is still present.

We must not let our guard down.

They never have. Why does this surprise people. Fiscal irresponsibility, Promiscuous sex, excessive drinking, experimenting with drugs, reckless driving (at least males) and hence why young males pay some of the highest insurance rates. This is all in line with the Scorpion and the Frog fable. We need to plan around human nature and not the other way around.

By the way, we were like them in our youth (at least most of us). We just can't remember or see past our new found wisdom that comes with age ...

Yes Fromtheoutside, I agree with you.
There are all possibilities, but I think that in the bars the most important would be the consumption of alcohol.

OMG, yes in my twenties I was irresponsible. Today I'm a dad, and if my childrens were doing what I was doing, I would be totally discouraged.

The Coronavirus is still there, and very contagous.

Trump rebukes Fauci: We are in a good place on Covid-19

This YouTube video is alarming. Dr. Fauci said that if one continues to deny the existence of the coronavirus, in November there will be 208,000 dead.

Now I'm afraid!!!
