Yeah, any signs of that will have me assuming the worst now.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
I live in Djibouti, much much smaller than SA (1 million people tops) and we went from 2 to 11 since yesterday, official numbers are one thing but I suspect there are a lot more sick people already and have been for a while. Chinese workers have been flowing to the country for weeks. The clueless local gvt closed down the airport on the 18th after making the announcement 2 days prior, some planes arrived on the 17th and instead of quaranting/testing the people as precaution, they let them all out.
This kinda incompetence is gonna be the death of us sadly. The local population is addicted to a drug called "khat" improved from Ethiopia and still imported to this day. This shit kills you inside and out, lower one's immune system. We regularly face malarias, chikungunya every fresh season so the local population is weak.
Unless a miracle occurs, Covid will be the death of this poor and small country
No I meant 2,000. That’s 0.1% of 2 million which I think will be about the right rate. I think all mortality rates are going to be inflated now because people can go through this with mild symptoms and not get diagnosed. It was around that in Korea as well.
20,000 would mean 1% dies. That would be very high.
Do UK, USA, Spain etc publish the region or the towns/cities of positive cases?
In SA we only specify the province and it sucks.

The UK specifies cities, the US only goes down to county level. No idea about Spain.
Yes in the UK
You can get the UK town data on The Guardian website.
Wow bloody hell, all I can say keep your hands clean and best foot forward scary times for us both me slightly less so.
Oh, yeah. I misread that. I thought the 10 million was the safer group.
Must be nice living in an efficient society. Albeit in isolation.
And to think if we just did exactly what China are doing now, without any qualms, we would have been safe from this. But we didn’t want to test/quarantine people coming from China because it would have ‘hurt our economy’. Guess what will hurt it more, locking down entire countries for what could easily be a year or more.
It's unlikely Covid-19 will be swimming upstream.
You got the link? Be interesting to see.
It's exactly the same in Germany since day 1.
I do what I can. I still have to go to work but luckily most staff stays at home so the contact will be limited
Planet Earth is crazy now. Every country basically on lockdown
Oxford University study.

"The new coronavirus may already have infected far more people in the UK than scientists had previously estimated — perhaps as much as half the population — according to modelling by researchers at the University of Oxford.
If the results are confirmed, they imply that fewer than one in a thousand of those infected with Covid-19 become ill enough to need hospital treatment, said Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology, who led the study. The vast majority develop very mild symptoms or none at all."

I think my little boy might have it. Hacking cough and and temperature of 38.6C.
Called 111 and we’ve got to isolate for 14 days. if his temp goes above 38.7 I’ve got to call them back.
my wife, my 8 month old and myself all have the cough but no temperature yet. Scary times

Have the latest UK figures been released for today?
Good luck
Thank you mate. Under normal circumstances I’d be thinking it was just a cold, but it’s worrying times at the moment.
Senate Republicans are seriously arguing right now that the economic stimulus bill is "too generous" to working class people and will "incentivize companies to lay off workers".
How do they know that?
Even if that is true - it’s positive. I think people would fear the disease far less if true mortality rates were known.
This would Help reduce panic but may result in more people being too relaxed and causing another spike in new infections - shit either way I guess
Only says Northern Ireland when I put my postal code in. Anywhere I can find if anyone in my town is infected?
Damn. People are addicted to that shitty drug in Somaliland/Somalia as well. Authorities there make no moves unless they receive directives from the UN/WHO who are slow and often have corrupt representatives there. (Also someone I know was on the phone to people there, and it appears people have some bizarre myths about this virus, due to lack of proper information I assume).
The government do a map version, that drops down to town or London borough (actually NHS area) level:

I don't think localized data for NI is available AFAIK
Am I right in saying that the UK haven’t published figures today?
I don’t know why but I’m expecting a sharp rise. Can’t quite put my finger on it, maybe this is what anxiety feels like?

It's for NHS local authorities. My county if Dorset has one authority while the main conurbation in Dorset is under another authority.
How would this study account for the much larger proportion of hospitalisations seen on the Diamond Princess?
Not a dumb question. I asked a similar one pages back, but just got a response saying dispose. That's clearly safest, but for the virus to survive that long on a mask does seem to go against all current thinking on its ability to survive on surfaces.
Except nobody believes China numbers including the Chinese so lets send a rumor this virus was created by the states. This pandemic was the wake up call for the west and China's growing will suffer in the future because I'm sure the west will move some important manufacturing back to the countries. Look to US with shortage of respirators, masks and ventilators, with Ford and Tesla making ventilators since they come from China and their government took over of any medical supplies made there.
187 news cases, 13 new deaths.
To be honest most published stats are meaningless, they are the bare minimum figures.
It says on the site that NI don't supply regional figures.
