Another day and cases of confirmed infected in denmark rose from 898 to 914.
We had 16 new cases since yesterday.


Out of the 914 that got CoVid-19, 61 needed to be hospitalised.
10 of these 61, are under intensive care, to keep them alive.

thats like 6,6% of infected needing to be hospitalised.
and ~1,1% of infected needing intensive care in a hospital.

You can just multiple the USA numbers by 10 or 100 because we haven't tested worth a shit. Supposedly they will get those test kits out eventually in higher numbers. That's what they have been saying for a week or two.

The Chinese shipped out kits last night. We should get them today.

Thought the CDC was trying to manufacture them in US?  Or they are trying to get private labs testing now.  I knew first test CDC had was defective so that postponed things. 

Didn't think we were ordering kits from China.

By the way, should Poland undergoes the same severe lockdown as France or Italy, I'm thinking there's a huge chance Cyberpunk 2077 will get delayed again. Working at home won't be anywhere close to the productivity of office work for most people, let alone crunch time work.

Perhaps it'll release March 2021 with the new consoles...

Chinese billionaire is sending kits around the world.

Or they could possibly scale things back, cut that extra push they were doing and go gold without a delay. We'll need this game in September.

I would rather have them say, we decided to delay the game for a couple more months to give our employees time to adjust to the situation and care for their family members.

Working from home is less productive and bloody difficult when your kids are at home as well. (Talking from experience). You also tend to crunch even more to get things done, much easier to work into the night when you work from home, end up making more mistakes, don't have a real switch off anymore between work and home life, and your SO will start to resent you just shoving food into your home office while trying to keep the kids out of your way.

Working from home has turned me off software development for good. It has its benefits, but in the end its draining. For a couple months it shouldn't have lasting effects, but don't expect the game to be finished in time.



538 wrote an article for all of you thinking, that we should infect many for herd immunity:

Cool, have fun with that in 12 months when the vaccine is ready for public use. What are you gonna do until then?

Keep getting drunk every night like I do now.

Better stock up, liquor stores and bars are closing in multiple states, would not be surprised if all states follow suit.
