    Asymptomatic infections similarly confuse how the death rate is calculated.

    “Since subclinical [an infection not severe enough to cause “observable” symptoms] and asymptomatic infections have been reported, [the] true case-fatality ratio cannot be estimated until population surveys can be undertaken to estimate the proportion of individuals that were infected but did not manifest symptoms,” Dr Toni Ho from the University of Glasgow previously said.

    Taking into account those with mild or no symptoms, Dr Christl Donnelly – from Imperial College London – estimated a 1% fatality rate appears more likely.

    “In an unfolding epidemic it can be misleading to look at the naïve estimate of deaths so far divided by cases so far,” she previously said.

    “The infection-fatality ratio is the proportion of infections (including those with no symptoms or mild symptoms) that die of the disease.

    “Our estimate for this is 1%.”

    Where did you hear you couldn’t visit Granny and military would make you stay in your home? That’s not the directive.

    Yeah, its an overreaction to some folks overreaction of others overreaction to what they are saying to the overreaction of the politicians.
    So its all fun and games until someone loses their crown and picks up the crown going around.

    No- You clearly stated that you are working from home and doing responsible things to stay away from people etc. it’s the fuck the government for telling you to stay home approach I’m taking issue with.

    but you know what? At the end of the day, I think your just puffing out your chest to puff out your chest. Clearly you're smart enough to have already been isolating yourself.

    I am set for the apocalypse.
    There is one thing im missing Blazer...

    You can be a bad christian today.
    Say your hail mary and tomorrow you should feel like a better christian.
    If you run out of bullets I suggest a crossbow.
    Thing about bows is that every arrow is precious.
    So you shoot to kill or you don't shoot.
    You don't need that many bullets man.
    Be a good christian and share some of them with the rest of us.
    Gun/bullet hoarders weird me out.
    Until I need to borrow a gun or a bullet.
    Then its not so weird.
    Like my aunt whose walls are lined with canned goods.
    Everyone in the family thinks she's super weird.
    Except now.

    Wait till you see my eggplant bush.
    I do have tons of toilet paper.
    But be careful because it grows right next to the oak tree infected with poison oak.
    And you will wish you had the coronavirus if you get the kind of poison oak that grows around here.

    No joke though, poison oak is one of the best remedies that kicks your immune system into overdrive.
    Which I need to have since im on my way to clean some 1%er's house right now.
    Dosing yourself in ace cleaning chemicals as you breathe while you work is the best way to put a smile on your face during these troubled times.

    Look man I get it. You’re a guy who will think pessimistically and all that. I understand that you’re not 5. I actually never thought or said you were.

    I’ve been on daily CC’s with other healthcare providers. The CDC and Health Departments in different states across the country. Finger is definitely on the pulse in that regard.

    what needs to happen so we can all get treated appropriately if in fact we contract this BS is to stay home. This thing isn’t going away by any means even if we stay home. But staying home helps to keep the infection isolated so not everyone has it at once causing an inundated healthcare system. “ flattening the curve” as they have put it.

    Its simple, lots of people will get this. Some will die most will get sick and show symptoms and some will never even know they had it passing it along to someone else.

    The Coast guard is being deployed for humanitarian reasons and I’m not here with my head in the sand thinking all will be good. It’s a very real possibility that we are shut down and held hostage in our homes and growing up in LOS Angeles my whole life I’ve seen how riots and shit can happen.

    I’m just trying to provide information to you guys. It angers me to read the BS. First China didn’t act and now we’re overreacting. Which is it?

    we’re a family here at DSP. I check in here every day even if I don’t post. And when I do, I’m mostly talking shit. Almost always stay out of the politics threads. I was fired up last night because my house is constantly resetting this 14 day quarantine clock. We’re just going to have to live like this because of professional obligations. But to read how others blatantly disregard the directive, is hard to let go.

    you do you... I’ll do me but don’t stop getting Granny what she needs because NO ONE is saying that.

    stay safe homie

    And im here reading it all eating my eggs and drinking my coffee both flavored by the 5 dollar stick of Irish butter.
    I swear those Irish are gouging us but ill be damned if I go down eating regular california butter.
    I have my standards.
    I am part of the 10%.

    irish always getting the blame
    yet it’s the lemmings who perpetuate the myths
    potato famine notwithstanding of course
    st patrick wasn’t even irish
    nor did he rid the island of snakes
    arguable that he was even a saint
    but try telling people not to drink every 3/17
    like cinco de mayo
    which isn’t even actually mexico’s independence day
    yet we respond with esl, bi-lingual... well, everything and other perks
    don’t need a wall for the irish
    and we don’t need to show you no stinking badges
    proper bkitches

    lol

    Let me edutain you my rock headed pedrag.
    You guys aren't stoners but you kiss the blarney whenever you speak.
    Because you Irish are the Mexicans of your world.
    When the Spanish goths arrived they mated with your natives and produced your race of mutts.
    Long live the mutts.
    Impervious genetically.
    You wanna see my lab results?
    They different colors but all pebbles broken off the same old rock.
    Just like Peter with the quill.
