OT: 2019 nCov (part 9)

[Ozmodiar]

New York state now has 92,000+ cases...that's nuts. There's only about 20 million people in that state.

It is nuts!! It’s tough to wrap your head around that number considering the short time frame.

As a montreal native, I've been very attentive to our current situation and thank all those that give updates.

As per sante montreal, they have added age breakdown as of Mar. 31. I've roughly categorized the age groups just to give an idea of those affected, grouping the young and then subsequently going 10yr intervals for our elderly.

Coronavirus COVID-19 - Santé Montréal

0-39 = 42%
40-59 = 33%
60-69 = 12%
70-79 = 7%
80+ = 6%

we all know that the majority of fatalities are predominately our seniors, yet they are only 13% (70+) of positive cases. it's the younger generation that is most infected ( 0-59 = 75%). This is the group that has best chance of survival but also the group that is the cause of the spread and killing our parents and grandparents.

I hope our younger generation that felt invincible and had a great spring break but disregarded basic safety measures will recognize that they their selfish and irresponsible behavior has contributed to the deaths of their own parents and grandparents, at the very least. Also for those elderly snowbirds that violated quarantine protocols, are equally to blame.

Those are the people who are working, going to grocers or pharmacies, etc. Makes perfect sense.

The 0-59 are also the ones that study and go to work. They take public transport, they have meetings, they work with numerous people. It's way too simple to blame it on selfishness and spring break travel.

Prosecutors: Engineer deliberately ran train off tracks in attempt to smash the USNS Mercy

Is this story true? It was April first after all.

Geez. And some people whine and cry about little things here in Canada! At least we don’t have engineers trying to ram hospital ships!

Nope! just having weddings.

The clinic at Places des Fetivals that was put up a while back, was testing about 2500 people per day at the beginning. Now, they test about 850 per day. A significant drop.

Aren't you a SEO?

Virologist turned SEO

Admittedly the virology is mostly long lost in my mind, I haven't touched anything on this subject since 2005-2006. But most of what is discussed in this thread is first year biochem stuff.

It’s completely insane. I guess he wanted to breach the ship’s hull by airborne locomotive.

But it seems like the demand isn't there with no lineup. Could it be that people are not experiencing symptoms?
