We've reached phase 3 of re-opening here which means I get to teach again. I'm very happy Hawaii has done so well during this global tragedy as well. Stay safe everyone. Wear a mask and be careful. Aloha.

Re: Coronavirus
I found this in one of the articles Kailuaboy posted a link to. Very interesting info on Covid-19's mortality rate against other causes of deaths between February to May.

Re: Coronavirus
One must also take into account the toll this nasty disease has taken on our resources and freedom. Things like PPE's and intensive care units are not depleted/overwhelmed by cancer or heart patients. They ARE overwhelmed by covid-19 patients. Health care professionals are not killed by taking care of cancer patients or those suffering from heart disease! The elderly are not killed by health care professionals after those professionals have treated a cancer patient. Our elderly are killed after their care-givers have been exposed to the corona virus. This is a tenacious virus that kills more people.uhwarriors wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 11:43 pm I found this in one of the articles Kailuaboy posted a link to.

Your post is very unclear so I am not sure what you find interesting about the info. I do hope that you find it as alarming as I do. Please do not let down your guard.

Re: Coronavirus
I find it interesting from the perspective of disturbing or alarming as you see it. It's a much more deadly than most other causes of death in particular the flu. And as you've pointed out much more contagious and it can overwhelm the medical system and supplies.SundayJam wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 12:28 amOne must also take into account the toll this nasty disease has taken on our resources and freedom.

Re: Coronavirus
I thought the numbers looked weird but they're using CDC wonder for data (historical). So everything in blue is not this year, but an average from previous years, only the red line is this year. For example from that number crunch I did for flu/pneumonia with current year's data, from Feb 1-May 30 2020, the Flu/Pneumonia fatality count is 66,256 which is more than triple what the average is supposed to be. Hmm, this reminds me that cdc wonder data can be broken down by month, maybe I'll re-crunch the numbers to get exact Feb-May comparisons. most flu/pneumonia deaths are nov-jan anyway so the annual numbers I was comparing against is very skewed.uhwarriors wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 11:43 pm I found this in one of the articles Kailuaboy posted a link to.

Re: Coronavirus
ok re-crunched the numbers with just Feb-May historical data, and used the updated number for Feb 1-May 30 2020, here's a link to the data:ubercow wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 8:50 am I thought the numbers looked weird but they're using CDC wonder for data (historical).

data sources: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm https://wonder.cdc.gov/ucd-icd10.html
data notes: cdc suppresses data if the count for a month is lower than 10 so if you see a high %suppressed next to a state, their average flu+pneumonia deaths should be a bit lower, so the fatality and multiplier should be bumped higher. multiplier is how many times higher 2020's deaths are over average and Hawaii has the second best numbers. Used 2010-2017 (and not 2018) because 2018's numbers didn't look complete. Totals at the bottom, averages used for %suppressed and multiplier

This is what BKK airport looks like now.

They're slowly allowing Thais to return home here and all new infections have been returnees in the last 12 days. Today, the 2 reported returnees were both asymptomatic. Some are not showing positive until a second test is given.
