My Wfe Might Be Leaving Me

[oneshot]

Well just got notice on regular meetings on this.

Just heard there is a shortage on things like Face Masks so should be interesting.

I just hope it is weather related.
 

If I do anything it will be hauling and distributing supplies.

The best way to keep from getting it is to stay close to home, wash your hands when you get home from ANYWHERE, and by all means stay away from doctors offices, pharmacies, and hospitals.  

I'm toast.

There will be a run on masks and handsanitizer that will make a pre snowstorm run on bread mil and beer look small.  Fortunately being from a while family of nurses we have some, though I am not likey to wear a mask, makes it too hard to spit tobacco juice while fishing.  I remember being in New eats after the hurricane and you couldn't buy hand sanitizer at any price, but there were pallets of isopropyl Alcahol for like 99 cents each, worked great and every just walked by them.

I guess I'm starting to doubt the severity of COVID 19.  It doesn't seem to be as deadly as the ordinary flu.   Am I wrong?  Starting to be like the news channels when a storm is coming.  They need to make every one a big deal...

~2% mortality for COVID19, 0.1% for the flu. It's possible the COV rate may be artificially high, due to mild or asymptomatic cases going unreported.

The comparison can be viewed two ways; only 2 out of 100 COV cases die, or, you're 20 times more likely to die from COV than the flu.

The numbers still don't seem that high do you think?  Not trying to stir it up, they just don't appear to be "pandemic" like.

Will know more later. Seems to me it starts out mild then next kills you.

I know I had to go to the Hospital couple times and there was hundreds setting at the door with the Flu.

My wife was worried about me but I was more worried about her knowing she don’t want to get a shot.

I dunno man, I just happened to hear a lady from CDC give the stats you asked about last night while I was stuck in traffic. 🙃

I do think if we assess contagious diseases purely by mortality rates we're missing a big part of the picture.

Pandemic is a reference to how widespread the disease is, not it's severity.

What is that saying, something about statistics and lies?  John's Hopkins numbers show 82,000 reported cases, 2,800 of those people have died.  33,000 have recovered.  Leaves roughly 42,000 still suffering the effects.  So based on those numbers, I'd say it's closer to a 4% mortality rate, with the potential to be higher with 42,000 still not out of the woods.  

Those being the numbers reported so far, who knows how accurate or reliable they are?  

Hopefully it will be contained or just peter out.
