Also. Happy saint Patrick's day.

2020-03-17 13:45:08 UTC  

we're gonna see effects of that for the coming years. And Corona hasn't even hit Africa good yet<:why:462286147473637407>

2020-03-17 13:45:21 UTC  

Yeah, that will be wild

2020-03-17 13:45:33 UTC  

A whole continent with barely any health infrastructure and a whole lot of AIDS and Ebola already

2020-03-17 13:46:05 UTC  

population density is very high in some places, Covid-19 seems to not like tropical climates though

2020-03-17 13:46:30 UTC  

IDK about that

2020-03-17 13:46:35 UTC  

how's Inda doing with Corona? you'd expect things to go bad there, given its population density

2020-03-17 13:46:48 UTC  

India I think has few cases than Czech Republic now

2020-03-17 13:47:20 UTC  

hmm

2020-03-17 13:47:37 UTC  

Well. Might clean out a lot of their AIDS cases

2020-03-17 13:48:48 UTC  

India has 114 cases

2020-03-17 13:49:08 UTC  

Czechia has 300

2020-03-17 13:49:16 UTC  

For now.....

2020-03-17 13:49:34 UTC  

In Africa Senegal has the most with 26

2020-03-17 13:49:47 UTC  

*Sub-Saharan

2020-03-17 13:50:05 UTC  

In Latin America Brazil has the most with 200

2020-03-17 13:50:17 UTC  

bruh fucking French Polynesia has 3 cases

2020-03-17 13:50:28 UTC  

Iceland has 161

2020-03-17 14:00:30 UTC  

Also. Just confirmed. Remember, they dont have enough test kits.

2020-03-17 14:01:09 UTC  

I'm just glad that lockdown here ends on the 24th

2020-03-17 14:01:32 UTC  

also the disease seems to barely affect children, it's only going for the Boomers

2020-03-17 14:01:40 UTC  

which still kinda sucks, my parents are Boomers and shit

They're suspending HIPAA with respect to telemedicine

2020-03-17 15:43:15 UTC  

To remove roadblocks that make it more difficult I guess

2020-03-17 16:02:43 UTC  

And this in the country with the most critical care beds per capita

2020-03-17 16:04:34 UTC  

Yep.

2020-03-17 16:04:41 UTC  

So, Italy scenario then

2020-03-17 16:04:49 UTC  

Eventually.

2020-03-17 16:05:37 UTC  

I'm leaning towards that number I calculated before of roughly 0.1% of the population can get this without overwhelming the healthcare system.

2020-03-17 16:06:29 UTC  

I keep finding that our ICU beds are ~85% full at any given time and we won't be able to kick many people out of them for COVID-19 patients.

2020-03-17 16:18:50 UTC  

When you say "Italy scenario" it's good to remember 1/4 of Italians are over 60.....

2020-03-17 16:19:27 UTC  

Wew.

2020-03-17 16:19:37 UTC  

Kinda early in the day for such numbers.

2020-03-17 16:20:43 UTC  

Not italy scenario. The 45 days number is really good because that gives plenty of time to move new equipment into place

2020-03-17 16:21:12 UTC  

Military temporary hospitals for example

2020-03-17 16:21:37 UTC  

Yeah, popup hospitals plus use of national stockpiles of ventilators could blunt this enough.
