Like the guy in Arizona that drank fish medicine? He died.

Interesting article with some predictions on Zerohedge this morning ( Page not found | Zero Hedge ).
Article says 23-24 day lag between infection and resolution of infection, either by getting well or death. They estimate the death rate at 0.8% of cases....or one dead per 125 cases.
They also say deaths are doubling every 3 days.....which another site I found seems to closely confirm ( United States Coronavirus Deaths | March 2
Data ) this in this chart.
IF the death rate really is 0.8%, working that 125 infected rate against today's deaths ( 616 ) gives an estimated number of infections out there at 77,000.
ZH article goes on to predict 800 US deaths on March 26th and 12,800 on April 7th with 1.6 million infected.
Unless this thing peaks pretty soon, the numbers by the end of April would be plumb unbelievable. You can see why the hospitals are running scared.
I know I'll be following the data for the next few weeks.

Italy has been in total lockdown for 2 weeks. That seems to be about how long it takes to peak, although today's numbers out of Italy don't look good. It still may not have peaked there.
The US has still not come to grips with instituting a lock down. It's only 2 weeks AFTER we do that we are likely to see the peak.

worrisome times for the world's airlines
all these people out of work, I'm waiting for headlines on that
Instead of oxygen masks coming out of the ceiling, maybe they need optional
full head protection with piped in air.
Since it's likely we will have more of these viruses show up, airlines need to rethink how they cram people in there.
Lot of folks affected within that six foot radius.
I read a while back that one of the contributing factors towards unhealthy air in planes is that the more outside super cold air they use to flush through the cabin,
the more fuel they have to burn to keep the cabin warm. Very cold way up there. So, pass less air through, save money. And the nasties stick around longer.
So there may be an immediate fix that may improve safety in the future if they crank up the cfm of fresh air coming in.

Also keep in mind that only includes people who were symptomatic enough to be tested in the first place. Without wide scale testing, this data is skewed.
