Corona Virus # 3

[airbiscuit]

Too soon.

They = State governor and the Dr.s from the health dept who have been overseeing the testing and statistics. The daily updates from them have been very factual, making people aware, and discouraging panic. Once there are 2 positive test results from community spread, it translates into over 1% infection in the community (Ohio in this case). So as of today they know that over 1% of our population is or already has been infected and it could actually be much higher. They project 70% will be infected by the time it's over. And they said it's definitely been around for many weeks, and just now being tested enough to catch more since it's spreading fast. This is all good news in my opinion, since that tells us the actual infected number is very high related to the number of deaths.

And now the NCAA cancelled the tournament. It won't seem like March without the Madness.

Exactly. That's why I poked at ya for claiming it to be the best sporting event in US.

Sorry to say that there could possibly be some new blank spaces (*) in the record books that only exist in past years of world wars...

HIPAA constraints limit what can be said and to who...

The act has real teeth and I know one young lady dismissed due to a breach...

Working her first job and on her own time took a selfie saying loving my job and a computer screen was up in the background and blown up a patient name could be read... one strike and out... She was well liked and the Administrator said it breaks my heart but Corp has a zero tolerance policy...

She posted to her private Facebook page...

Totally plausible information from a test being delayed...

Ohio is closing all schools starting at the end of classes on Monday, for 3 weeks. Their main goal through all of this is to limit contact in large groups. They estimate over 100,000 people in Ohio already have the virus, so they just want to slow the speed of the spread, not stop it. They said estimates right now are showing a peak in all of this by mid May. Then we can all buy TP again. :thumbsup:

Why Monday?
To give the virous time to infect?
If that critical do it STAT!

Again, wait for Monday? give the virous more time to spread?
If that is the effective way do it NOW!

If you can't hit 300mph in less than a quarter mile, you're just out for a Sunday drive :wink:

Yep!!!! My wife and I race our basically stock vehicles at the local 1/8 mile track. Somehow she cheats and beats my reaction times...…

According to this article the 100,000 estimate was made by Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton. She also said "Our delay in being able to test has delayed our understanding of the spread of this,". So isn't her estimate actually a guesstimate?

So..., someone makes a wild as guess and points their thumb in the air and says, they think 1% of the population has it............ fear selling news outlets sell a 100,000 Ohio residents have the virus!!! And a poster here parrots the misleading statistic.

Are we not tough strong Americans anymore?
Do we get political credit for being the first to sensationalize bad news?

 

[ovrszd]

Any government elected or appointed official is doomed as soon as they open their mouth. Even if their statement is to say there's no way to accurately assess this.

That's where we fail as tough strong Americans. As a society we actually need someone to tell us what's going on in our lives. If you don't think so, turn on the news this evening. They'll confirm it for you.

From the article:

... "We know now, just the fact of community spread, says that at least 1 percent, at the very least, 1 percent of our population is carrying this virus in Ohio today," Acton said. "We have 11.7 million people. So the math is over 100,000. So that just gives you a sense of how this virus spreads and is spreading quickly." ...

IOW: science ...
