    Terrifying

    How many in the community already have the virus? No one knows.

    We are moving from containment to care. 

    We in the US are currently where at where Italy was a week ago. We see nothing to say we will be substantially different.

    40-70% of the US population will be infected over the next 12-18 months. After that level you can start to get herd immunity. Unlike flu this is entirely novel to humans, so there is no latent immunity in the global population.

    [We used their numbers to work out a guesstimate of deaths— indicating about 1.5 million Americans may die. The panelists did not disagree with our estimate. This compares to seasonal flu’s average of 50K Americans per year. Assume 50% of US population, that’s 160M people infected. With 1% mortality rate that's 1.6M Americans die over the next 12-18 months.]  

    The fatality rate is in the range of 10X flu.
    This assumes no drug is found effective and made available.

    The death rate varies hugely by age. Over age 80 the mortality rate could be 10-15%. 

    Don’t know whether COVID-19 is seasonal but if is and subsides over the summer, it is likely to roar back in fall as the 1918 flu did

    He will become a punchline.

    I have an odd theory that with the sheer amount of fucking that couples are gonna be doing while the world is under quarantine, that we are gonna wind up adding like 100 new humans to the world for every 1 death this virus claims.

    An employee at Nintendo of America in Redmond has tested positive for COVID-19 and had contact with other Nintendo workers, the video game company confirmed Thursday evening.

    All Nintendo employees who were in contact with the person who tested positive are in self-quarantine, whether they have symptoms or not, Nintendo of America wrote in a statement.

    “Nintendo of America is supporting this individual as they recover and will continue to take precautions to safeguard the health and well-being of all our employees and the broader community,” the statement said.

    Nintendo is allowing all employees in Washington state and California to work from home.

    Now, with kids home: I'm going to saw my dick off.
    What dick?
    The one he wants to grow.

    Edit: (pray 2 well... nothing...uh...hope this isn't trolling)

    On the bright side of things, that nasty carrier finally cancelled their large gathering in International waters. You fans are so lucky PJ got ahead of this and did the right thing, saving you countless hours of anxiety! (Writing them worked! Haha)

    My company is implementing a recommended WFH beginning tomorrow.

    I have a short commute and it's a fairly small office building with about 70 coworkers. 
    Most people will be WFH. With this place empty I'm actually considering coming in for a few days per week for faster network and printing.

    How nuts am I?
    I would go in also when/if my office implements this. I work better sitting in the actual office. And have better equipment there for the shit I do.

    And I would:


    It's always interesting to me who feels more productive from home vs. office. As a nerd, I've always found my job is far easier in my own space where I can focus. If we do end up on WFH, what I'll miss most is my whiteboard, but my iPad will suffice I guess.

    That's pretty funny sc and I'll probably do dance clairvoyantly on desks next week if I venture into the contagion 

    As far as more productive it's funny when I'm not in the office I find myself overthinking...how do I get that data, how do I filter, etc. Creature of habit in old age.

    322 died from it yesterday world-wide, highest single day total so far. 198 or more each of the last four days.

    Still very, very few thankfully.  
    There's suspicion that Iran is not reporting their numbers accurately.  Obviously China would be a candidate for the same.

    How about the United States?

    Yes we categorize with those countries now regarding misinformation 

    Thanks GOP 

    4 million tests promised by Pence and trump this week . And no formal presser for 2 days. They will be put on trial in the fall for their lies regarding life and death. If they allow an election. 

    Its friday gentlemen. This isnt your way to hold down the reportable cases? Where are the tests?
