1467548	2020-04-03 06:56:00	2 weeks ago, New York had 300 cases. Today they have 30,000. First time in the pandemic a city had 1,000 deaths in a 24hr period. Guess where? You got it, New York City. It's just the maths. Exponential maths is a cruel thing. Watch this space!	kenj (9738)

You got it, New York City . It's just the maths . Exponential maths is a cruel thing . Watch this space! Well, if New York had 1000 deaths in a 24hr period, (not saying they didn't) and that was to increase Exponentially, by day 24 there wouldn't be a person left on earth to report it . :confused: :eek: Reminds me of the old one of a Blacksmith and Farmer arguing over the cost of shoeing the farmers horse . In the end the Blacksmith said I'll put the first nail in for 1c and we'll double up from there . Let's say there are five nails in each shoe and the horse had four legs . How much did the farmer have to pay the blacksmith? :D	B.M. (505)

So , at the very worst, assuming EVERYONE gets it, 2-10% of the population dies . But still not that simple, some races are possibly less prone to adverse effects than others, some blood types less prone to adverse effect of Corona . But not enough hard data to be sure. Could be why Sweeden is doing not all that bad considering they arnt in lockdown at all. Just 100% speculation, Italy & NY both hit very hard. Perhaps those of Italian descent are more prone to needing hospitalization/dying from Corona than others?	1101 (13337)
1467552	2020-04-04 00:26:00	Look, they said Italys reporting is a bit skewed. My husband is one of those that would die for sure if he got. Can it then be said he died of the virus? Cause a cold will kill him too. Hell, catching nothing and he could die anytime. His health is so bad now if he goes quiet at night I reach over to see if he is still warm. Considering usually he pants like a steam train and any exertion causes bad results. So when the noise stops, I worry. If he did get it I would say they'd write that down. If it was a cold they wouldn't....	piroska (17583)
1467553	2020-04-04 04:19:00	I understand what you are saying. My mother in law's death certificate had heart attack on it but she died in a hospice riddled with bowel cancer. Ken	kenj (9738)
1467554	2020-04-05 02:05:00	Well slightly happier news. Went shopping today, thought we'd try today rather than Monday. Less queues, Pak n Save still out of flour but other stuff seemed OK. Countdown did have flour, not that we need any.... But it was improved. Pak N Save had normal prices, some of Countdowns were infaled the scummy price gougers. (We only get my mums special milk there, my Epicure cheese and the $2 biccies - $2 biccies were still $2.)	piroska (17583)
1467555	2020-04-05 03:09:00	Stats: www.worldometers.info They have stats on other deaths and illnesses too. Does that mean every country now has it ? just wondering, Is there actually any place that has not had it ? is there a stats page that tells us when the first case was reported and then by country when they had their first case ? like an order of countries........ ? :o	beetle (243)
1467556	2020-04-05 05:14:00	Does that mean every country now has it ? just wondering, Is there actually any place that has not had it ? . worldometers . info/coronavirus/" target="_blank">www . worldometers . info Scroll down . Sorted by country . Yes quite a few have no cases .	piroska (17583)
1467557	2020-04-05 05:15:00	.....We only get my mums special milk there, my Epicure cheese and the $2 biccies - $2 biccies were still $2.) Epicure - the tastiest and most expensive of the Mainland range :)	Zippity (58)
