Yes, and the report acknowledges this in its disclaimer:Originally posted by beefytee View Post
Notably, the report emphasizes how Iceland's mitigation measures are affecting outcomes.Estimating CFR and IFR in the early stage of outbreaks is subject to considerable uncertainties, the estimates are likely to change as more data emerges.
Even more evidence of the importance of testing early, often, and widely.The results of screenings have suggested 0.5% are infected; the true figure is likely higher due to asymptomatic and as a result of many not seeking testing: estimates suggest the real number infected is 1%. Iceland is currently reporting two deaths in 737 patients, CFR. 0.27%; if 1% of the population (364,000) is infected then the corresponding IFR would be 0.05%. However, they have limited infections in the elderly as their test and quarantine measures have seemingly shielded this group, and the deaths will lag by about two weeks after the infections. Iceland’s higher rates of testing, the smaller population. and their ability to ascertain all those with Sars-CoV-2 means they will likely provide an accurate estimate of the CFR and the IFR. Current data from Iceland suggests the IFR is somewhere between 0.05% and 0.14%.
What matters is now is how many people get infected in a short space of time – to what extent this overwhelms healthcare services and whether they can manage – the impact of measures to reduce spread are crucial in the upward phase of a pandemic that can affect a significant number of people at any one time.Last edited by myboynoah; 03-26-2020, 04:40 PM.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Uh oh.
Cruise lines, early source of coronavirus infections, out of bailout package
Like hotels and airlines, cruise companies have seen their business decimated by the coronavirus pandemic and economic shutdowns.
But unlike those industries, major cruise operators don’t locate their headquarters in the United States, so they will not have access to $500 billion in aid for large employers in the massive stimulus bill, the industry’s trade group said on Thursday.
Language in the 883-page bill passed by the Senate says that to be eligible for aid from the $500 billion fund companies must be certified as “created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States" as well as having “significant operations in” and a majority of employees based in the United States.
Major cruise companies have located their primary headquarters overseas, which for years has allowed them to pay almost no federal taxes and avoid some U.S. regulations. To staff their ships, the companies rely heavily on foreign workers from the Philippines, Indonesia and India.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

You guys may have seen this. Regarding London:
The virus death toll could end up being “substantially lower” than 20,000, with most of the fatalities in people who would have died later this year anyway, a government adviser has said.
Neil Ferguson, the Imperial College London scientist whose research precipitated tougher government measures last week, told MPs: “It [the deaths of those who would have died anyway] might be as much as half or two thirds of the deaths we see, because these are people at the end of their lives or who have underlying conditions.”
Ferguson is the guy who caused UK lock down.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

I can see the airlines, but I'm not sure why hotels should be bailed out at all let alone cruise lines.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostPart of it is based on academic grounds.

Looks like a battle is brewing between the SLC mayor and the SL County Mayor and the state over a lockdown. Not sue it makes sense for the whole state, but does the Mayor or County Mayor alone have the ability alone to shut it down completely?
