Ha ha I got one two weeks ago!

Totally am not sure if Governor Baker shut down the barber shops like neighboring Connecticut.

Barbers and beauticians provide needed services too. Who wants to rub irritated eyes ‘cause they can’t even get a bang trim? Maybe some poor soul is an occupation that doesn’t allow long hair for the men, or wants to get it cut for a job search.

Long term maybe, but a few weeks? Really?

So I’m likely to spread disease getting that haircut I don’t need, but not so likely to get or spread it at that job the state considers essential or at the gas station or grocery store—the businesses deemed essential by the state.

Whatever

More like people are more likely to starve to death or suffer other extremely serious consequences if essential businesses shut down.

The 2000 people who have died in the US to date would like a word with you. Unfortunately they can’t say anything because THEY DIED.

Less than 1/10th the number of Influenza deaths so far this season.

Never let a crisis go to waste though.

Cops just busted up what was called a Corona party in Ewing NJ. 47 people and a DJ was stuffed in a 550 square foot one bedroom apartment. I guess he really meant it when he called it a corona party.

Now I can understand if a few friends want to get together and have a BBQ with drinks in someone’s backyard, but this is just something else.

From what I saw, the party guy is 47 years old.

How does the new coronavirus compare with the flu? | Live Science

As in China, are the majority dying over 80, followed by those between 70 & 80, then by those over 60?

Is the average age of mortality in the west still around 75, with the gap between men & women closing?

Might those in those age groups not have died without COVID 19?

We had a 1000 deaths in two days. Give it a week.

We’ve had five new deaths in the United States in the last 24 hours and 79 new cases according to the world meters tracking site.

You’re reading it wrong. That’s deaths today, which started an hour ago.

The numbers for Yesterday is 525.

It’s only from one of the most famous novels of all time. Use your google and then think on it for awhile.

Where are you getting your data? According to Worldmeter on Saturday there was 19,452 new cases and 525 new deaths.

Must be a time zone issue.

Looking at the numbers currently they’re 2494 serious or critical cases.

If the numbers hold up and we lose 15% of those we’re looking at 374 Dead out of that group in the next 10 days.

Still far less than we have seen the flu this season.

Look at the graphs for a minute. Tell me, what do you think that line going up dramatically means?

Unless we are very lucky, we will be losing 2000 people a day as soon as Friday.. Now are you capable of doing the math to figure out how long it will take to surpass those flu deaths?

So far.

You just doubled your chances of giving/spreading the disease by getting the haircut you don’t need.

[WildRose]

Yes so far, so far it’s about one-tenth as many or less than we had from the flu this season.

That’s called putting things in perspective.

Here, I’ll do the math for you. If the line does not increase, and stays constant at 500 deaths a day (hint: the line is going to dramatically increase), we will top flu deaths for the season in 9 days. If the line does continue to increase at the rate it’s currently increasing (all signs point to yes), well exceed the flu deaths by, oh, Wednesday or so. And want to know the worst part? They are saying the peak is still two weeks away.

I’ll leave you to do the rest of the math.
