      Reuter’s
      The #coronavirus mortality rate is ‘10 times’ that of the seasonal flu, said Anthony Fauci, director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during a congressional hearing
      This 1% will likely go down as the denominator right now is skewed towards people with symptoms. Likely but not certain that there are lots of infected people who are asymptomatic And will never get sick. I suspect (and hope) this group is under represented right now.

      If you are elderly and/or have compromising illnesses, you’re at higher risk. But that’s the same population that’s highest risk for flu complications as well.

      US strategy is to slow the spread so that hospitals can accommodate the sick, and for warmer weather to extinguish the virus. It should work.

      We could use a little global warming rn though.

        Someone brought it in but I don’t think they know Who it was yet.

          It ain't the apocalypse, but I have plenty of friends and family that are at high risk. I don't mind missing a few in person sporting events to slow this down and decrease their risks. That being said, not being able to attend a sporting events in person could be argued as being more important.

          In full disclosure, it's Friday night and I'm not entirt sober, so don't be too hard on me.

                They haven't cancelled the season. They've suspended it until further notice. An NBA player tested positive.

                NHL will have an announcement tomorrow.
                I can't run no more
                With that lawless crowd
                While the killers in high places
                Say their prayers out loud
                But they've summoned, they've summoned up
                A thundercloud

                  Not cancelling now is sort of a formality I've heard though. I honestly don't know. It seems crazy to skip the playoffs, etc.

                    Lemme know when they start canceling NFL games. I favor a 20-games regular season schedule b/c watching my beloved Pack on any given Sunday is the only thing I look forward too. The rest of my life is just a tedious grind.

                    As for the NBA and NHL, I ain’t give fucks. Only caucasoid supremacists dig the NHL, and I ain’t one in any shape, form or matter. The NBA, too many blacks.

                      Problem the NBA ran into was that when Gobert got the Covid, he and his teammates had to be quaranteened for 14 days. How is the NBA going to deal with a team that can't play for 2 weeks? So they had to postpone all the games.

                        I'd ban you for this but I have to stop laughing first.

                            Right, but that is why travel restrictions only buy you time. The virus is here, and travel is no longer a good predictor. This response was also not comprehensive or up to date. While Italy and France were experiencing large outbreaks, customs was still asking only about travel from China.

                            It would have helped to have testing squared away earlier because mitigation would be more effective if you knew about more of your cases to isolate.
