Here's an example of one of the memes and the voice stuck in my head https://www.tiktok.com/music/CORONAVIRUS-wobruno-6805333463068084997?traffic_type=others

Another day passed. While it still looks like Spain might have reached the growth peak on the 26th, they will pass Italy tomorrow and have also reached a higher peak in average deaths. Spain is following italy very closely. Italy peaked on the 21st, Spain (maybe) 26th. For both the growth rate went back down a bit then 5 or 6 days later another slightly lower peak, then down again. That is, if Spain continues to go down from now on.

Italy had the highest daily deaths (3 day average) on the 28th, 7 days after the growth peak, 855 deaths.
Spain so far, highest 3 day average deaths should be on the 2nd, looking like somewhere around 920 deaths.

Tomorrow will be the deciding day whether Spain is indeed 5 days behind Italy or perhaps more. Regardless of whether the growth goes up or down, Spain will take the nr 2 spot tomorrow in total cases.


All the others are up, mid week boost.

Europe's 5 day average growth was down to 0.933 on the 28th (Thursday to Monday average), back up to 1.069 for the 31st (Sunday to Thursday average)
USA was down to 1.023 on the 28th back up to 1.129 on the 31st and the world average from 0.933 to 1.069.

Compared to the 5 day average on the 24th (exactly one week ago) they are all down, so despite mid week throwing out higher numbers, week to week comparison is still moving in the right direction. USA is still slowly catching up to Europe, currently 8.2 days behind.

Were at least 2 weeks probably more behind Europe. A lot of States just ordered their stay at home policies in the last 48 hours and there are still a lot of states without an order declared t.

lmao I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way...

Quick and fun question. Let's say we have a reliable antibody test available. And let's assume that antibodies mean you're immune. If you get tested positively you get an immunity certificate and can leave your home and conduct business as usual. Now let's assume you come back negative because you never contracted the virus and the vaccine won't come until another year. Would you take an offer to get purposefully infected and then get a certificate after a month?

Who knows when shit was spreading.  Here in USA can get test if dying or almost there or rich.  This shit was probably spreading around in Feb with air travel, cruises, and just anyone socializing.  Sure might seem negative to you but who knows when this shit was really spreading.  I'm guessing early Jan and Feb. from people went to China for business and travel.

That shouldn't surprise you. We have a long and proud tradition of spreading fake news told to us by some Austrian guy.

I'm appalled by how badly prepaired the western world was for this, in terms of PPE.
Its one thing you dont have laboratory capacity, and evne you hestiate to go into shutdown and isolate+track people for infection spread.
However the apparent lack of PPE so many places, is crazy to me.

Still we have to remember in other parts of the world, things can be much much worse.
In Southeastern Africa, theres a country called Malawi which by resent estimates has a population of 18million people.
They have 7 ventilators, and laboratory capacity to test at most, 20 people pr day. They have 25 ICU bed spaces in hospitals.

Can you imagine?

I saw a video of radial muslims, in india throwing rocks of doctors suited up, going into a slum to try and bring out and save a infected person there.
Videos of orthodox jew purposefully ignoreing all warnings, and seemingly going around purposefully caughing on people, and spitting at others.

To top it all off, some crazy conspiracy nutjob in the US, took a train and tried to run it off track and into the Hospital ship "mercy".

What in the world.

while that stat is alarming, the median age of Malawi is ~18 years, so if age is the by far largest factor in the deadliness of the disease (highly eclipsing nutrition etc), then they won't be hit tooo hard I imagine

As even after a recovery you might have damage to your lungs, I happily chose to stay indoors. But I might be privileged, by being able to easily work in Home Office. If you can't do that, you might see it differently.
