Okay that last video was from a Citizen Journalist. These are discounted these days,...fine. Here's fucking CBS, and their guy is saying even at 1% ultimately millions will die.
It's now 3.4% according to WHO/CDC.
This is not the flu it's far more serious he sez.
It's a world Pandemic sez he. The Brits expect 60 to 80% to get it.
That Brit Dr. John Campbell sez 'he' expects to get it.
Watch his stuff he's a for real medical guy just giving straight data.

The CBS guy points out there were two major viruses like the Spanish Flu in the 20th century, and we survived them. He intimates we will survive this too...we hope.
Like I sez,...we're fucked.
Well a lot of us anyway.
***This just in.
2700+ self quarantined here in the Emerald City. This up from"3" a few days ago. WTF?!!
I assume they're finally testing folks, and this batch showed up. No idea how many in this country have it...thousands likely.
Being an elder I'm for sure in da cross hairs. On the upside most come out of it okay.
But then there's that 14% "kick the bucket" ratio for old folks.
We'll see.
Under the circumstances I want a for real cake with fucking icing all over it. This summer for my coming Birthday. I'll buy it myself if I have to.
Heck I will,...then I can eat all of it myself!
There are 8,700 self-quarantines in California. 5,000 or so are near me.
ReplyDeleteBelgian virologist Marc Wathelet says western countries are woefully unprepared. According to him, epidemiologists have estimated that on average (outside of China) the number of infections doubles every 2.4 days, and that each infected person, on average, infects about seven more people. These are the stats of an explosive pandemic that can rapidly overwhelm national medical systems and leave a great many people without adequate medical care. So if you need any kind of medical procedure, get it *now.*

Here's a highlight. You know how the press and authority figures have been criticizing people for trying to buy N95 masks, claiming they won't help you? That's false; they say it because medical people need them, and there aren't enough to go around even for them.
So what if the case death rate is only 1 percent, or 0,85 percent? If most people are exposed, that's still a lot fatalities.
Definitely go for the cake. Settle for nothing less. As Hagrid said to Harry, it isn't every day that a lad turns, er, 11.
I want a piece a dat cake!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be Elevendy seven years old in a few months. A fucking cake is at least what I deserve. reminds me of an old radio comrade,...Fred he passed from Cancer.
ReplyDeleteWhile in hospital he said it would all be okay if they'd let him have a giant pastrami hero hoagie or sub or whatever they calls it where you are.
With a gallon of 'hot' mustard on it.
Sure it would have killed him faster the cancer,...but he said "fuck it",...he wanted it.
It remains to this day a regret of his comrades that we didn't go over there, and slip him the goods.
This while some of us keep watch at the door for Nurse Ratchet.
14% for elder comrades,...we can't kid around now.
This thing is going to be around they now think for a few years till it finishes burning it way through humanity.
A viral Angel of Sneezes, and for old folks fucking Death.
Screw it.
I'm fine with whatever happens. Just makes our stories more interesting.
Spared by one plague as a kid,...Polio. Then another AIDS as a young Queer. Just to be hacked down by a fucking glorified cold.
Angels, and Demons alike chuckle.
Of course you can have Cake!
