Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

4th down, time to punt. :wink:

I was responding to NorthernHarrier, not you.

I don't know who was actually talking to you, but it was not me.

I apologize.
It was wrong of me to infer that your conversation was about my post.
I’m sorry.

How long does the National Anthem last? What is the time ratio of that to the game? 2 minutes to 180 minutes… Insignificant. If you don’t like it, change the channel as you would for a commercial & feelings hurt no more.

I like the extended-play version that goes on for ~18min with the drum solo in the middle.

About those protests again…

We should go to sleep I think.

I have no idea about this but would the fatality rate be any relevant to flu?

I think the chances of someone dying from flu would be lower just because the patient will have a family member present in the room. If you suffer from an unknown virus, no one is allowed anywhere near you and staff is not trained or too scared to take care of you. You might be on your own. :innocent:

Easy to understand reporting and description of the Covid-19 case fatality rate can be found here, by country (you can select which country’s data you want to see by using the drop-down menu): Link

The latest case fatality rate overall shown for the USA, updated to today, is reported to be just under 3%. The case fatality rate is the death risk figure most reported in the news media, and is calculated by dividing the total number of reported deaths due to the virus by the total number of reported cases of Covid-19 infection.

Of course, that is a different figure than the true infection fatality rate, which could give us a higher or lower death risk figure, for the following reasons. There are likely more people infected than are reported to be infected. Including all the infected people in the calculation would lower the true death risk. However, there are also many people infected who will die due to the virus, but have not died yet. Including these people in the death count would increase the true death risk.

Nothing good happens after 2 am.

WHAT ? Some people here still believe in official figures ?

LOL

After 2am is before 2am.

Only if you don’t stop drinking.

What matters is not whether you acknowledge official figures. If official figures exist, there is no disputing that they exist. What matters is whether you know how those figures were derived, whether and how they were statistically analyzed, and how the data and statistical analyses were interpreted by whomever publicizes the information. And it matters that you know how the official figures and interpretation fit into the larger body of evidence gathered and analyzed by people competent in the relevant fields of study. The same is true for any data, whether it is official or unofficial.

My head officially hurts…

Lies, damned lies, and statistics

As a matter of fact there are 7 billion people on this planet who will die, but have not died yet! :laughing:

I realize that human beings all die, but I appreciate your reminder. The words in that sentence would normally be well understood to refer to people who die of the virus, due to the context of that sentence following other sentences that refer to deaths from the virus, rather than deaths from other diseases, accidents, suicides, etc. However, I will make the meaning of the sentence crystal clear within itself by adding words.

I apologize for any confusion I caused by not writing every sentence in my post so that every sentence is clear without reference to, or context coming from, any other sentence. I trust you’ll forgive me, as I’m sure you understand that few of us are capable of writing with the clarity and precision evident in your posts.

It was a bit silly, but I am liking the more chill Rexlion these days. :beer:
