For it to be that low the infection rate in the US has to be 15 times what it is right now.  The infection rate in Itally 100 times.

Then it went nuts from there.  Kind of scary isn't it?  I must have been dumb enough to believe Sludgey when he said death from the flue is .8 percent

The death rate from seasonal flu is typically around 0.1% in the U.S., according to The New York Times

Though the death rate for COVID-19 is unclear, most research suggests it is higher than that of the seasonal flu.

In the study published Feb. 18 in the China CDC Weekly, researchers found a death rate from COVID-19 to be around 2.3% in mainland China. Another study of about 1,100 hospitalized patients in China, published Feb. 28 in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that the overall death rate was slightly lower, around 1.4%.

Still, the death rate for COVID-19 appears to vary by location and an individual's age, among other factors. For instance, in Hubei Province, the epicenter of the outbreak, the death rate reached 2.9%; in other provinces of China, that rate was just 0.4%, according to the China CDC Weekly study. In addition, older adults have been hit the hardest. The death rate soars to 14.8% in those 80 and older; among those ages 70 to 79, the COVID-19 death rate in China seems to be about 8%; it’s 3.6% for those ages 60 to 69; 1.3% for 50 to 59; 0.4% for the age group 40 to 49; and just 0.2% for people ages 10 to 39. No deaths in children under 9 have been reported. 

A report published March 13 in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases adjusted for the potential time delay between hospitalization and death among cases in China. The authors estimated that, as of Feb. 11, the death rate from COVID-19 was as high as 12% in Wuhan, 4% in Hubei Province and 0.9% in the rest of China.

In the CDC's MMWR study, 45% of hospitalizations, 53% of admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU), and 80% of deaths associated with COVID-19 were among adults aged 65 years and old

One of our employees SIL just tested positive. She works in a high school cafeteria. They've been shut down all week but it's right in the timeframe for symptoms. He's trying to get tested now but phone lines are slammed and who knows if there are enough tests. 

Not good.

@ckf Momo rider gave Anler's post the finger, you need to put this demented moron on flood control or just ban the jagoff.

Just read they are limiting the amount of people in our local stores and some chains have and are installing plexiglas between customers and staff.

They also gave their employee a retroactive $2.00/hour pay bonus retroactive to Mar. 8th.  

Good on them.

Most people in the medical profession get paid well and knew they'd be dealing with infectious diseases at some point.  A grocery clerk not so much. Kudos for them for even showing up to work.

Have you given your employees a raise? 

They are taking a risk because of your greed.

Well people have their head in the sand and don’t think they are going to do it. The entire state of IL is going into a soft lock down at 5pm today. This info is already out there  and has been in the works for over a week.

My daughters suitemate from school lives in Long Grove, IL and she said something about police in the streets....not sure how legit the info is.

I went to the local store today to get extra milk,cream and smokes. I sat out front and made sure nobody was in there lol. I grabbed the stuff, paid with my cc and when I got in the car took the latex gloves off and wiped everything down with towelettes. It might be overkill but you never know.
