COVID-19 Megathread 4: Grandma Got Run Over by the Dow Jones

[brucejoel99]

For the people panicking, most of Europe currently has had similar restrictions on grocery stores for weeks. We have not fallen to anarchy yet.

"Europe isn't real."

France just added 18,000 new cases to their total, which is now completely throwing off the daily numbers.

The only thing I could find is that they added 'Nursing Home' data.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-04/coronavirus-updates-new-york-reports-deadliest-day/12120784#France

I am going to back-add them across the last week to mimic what they would actually look like over time. Same total, slightly more accurate results in reality.

Have had the same issue with recoveries all being added on one day of the week.

     I would think they would be more focused on attributing results to accurate dates and times since they should be performing statistical analyses themselves, though they may be tracking that information internally.

I will wait until tomorrow to see what the French release next for new case numbers.

But releasing data all on one day after waiting a week means that the cases are not being added at the right rate. Same thing happens with recoveries.

I am happy to back-add them once I see the overall pattern. Given the nature of viral infection, it's highly improbable they all got sick on the same day.

Yesterday there were 5,233 new confirmed cases.
The figure of 18,000 new cases corresponds to the cases (confirmed or suspected) in nursing homes since the beginning of March.

^Seconded.

Uk supermarkets have limited orders (to 3 of any given item, 80 items total per shop), and set aside retail hours and delivery slots for healthcare workers and the elderly. The system is strained, but a lot better than in the initial panic stage.

Not to make light, but the way that spike at the end just suddenly appears reminds me of:

I could only imagine the violence and possible loss of life if my brothers, dad, and I were forced to live in quarantine together.

Is Uber still running for people who need to grocery shop or get to doctor’s appointments?

Regular service is cancelled in some badly-hit cities

But, there's not a blanket suspension of activity yet. They are asking for a reduction in non-essential services, in line with government advice though.

Sorry all I can offer in the way of information are a couple of tweets

How do the Republicans think they're going to re-establish "medicine should be a source of profit for investors" after this?

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

OK,

Based on data available here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Top growth rates in the world are for new countries entering the curve:

1   72.2%   Cameroon
2   28.8%   Kuwait
3   28.3%   Serbia
4   26.5%   UAE
5   23.7%   Palestine
6   23.7%   Niger
7   22.6%   Algeria
8   22.2%   Peru
9   22.2%   Channel Islands
10   22.1%   Paraguay

(min cases: 50)

In terms of countries with little to no infection rates of Corona-virus, that has been done for us already:



Normally I would say that these are the places where one should feel safe, but not on this occasion.

Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, besides being physically stronger than any other world leader, an excellent marksman and a skilled driver, is also a genius scientist who developed a vaccine that he is not sharing outside of Turkmenistan.

That, or he's simply concealing the numbers.

It is definitely time to start planning to bring back the sports. Good idea, Don, couldn't last much longer like this. Let's just get the new schedules in place.

No. We will not survive much longer without our entertainment. Baseball on June 1. NBA and NHL, release your playoff draws. NFL, tell players to report for Oklahoma drills. We need an end in sight.

If he saves this country over the next month and a half by bringing back baseball, he will have earned my vote and everyone else in this country too.

Some people on Atlas are underestimating how much live sports would be a morale boost for tens of millions of people.  Being able to watch sports every day would take my pain level in this from a 9/10 to a 6.5/10 just like that.

Hopefully they can figure out a strategy to bring back sports, even without crowds.

China and we in Europe also survive months without watching sports.

It’s not that hard.

Sports players spread the virus around, as would people in stadiums.

Nobody needs fukking football or baseball this year !

Yes, we do. Otherwise there is little or no reason to even be alive for most of the population. No one will obey any rules beginning in June.

The only sporting event held in Australia today:

AFL will resume in July based on tonights news. This virus will peak, and then fade. Once it does, we will get our sports back without crowds initially
