The optimistic take on Covid-19

[StubbleJumper]

Same with Obama's 800B infrastructure plan of which like, 60B? was actually spent on projects.

 

Same story, new decade.

 

Pessimistic, naive empiricism.

 

 

It could be that, or it could be realism.  Everybody *loves* infrastructure just until the rubber hits the road.  The real question that needs to be assessed is how many *shovel-ready* projects are available that could actually be initiated in the next 24 or 36 months, and are lower level governments actually sufficiently interested in those projects to cost-share them (not very much infrastructure is federally owned)?  There are all kinds of numbers that get bandied about concerning purported infrastructure deficits and pent up demand.  But, when reality kicks in, there really are not that many that have completed all of the required consultative processes and environmental assessments, and have adequate support from lower levels of government. 

 

Maybe this time is different?

If patient is a female and rolls penis = anus first then repeat test with same used swab in their own throat."

This to shall pass.

What if everything doesn’t happen for a reason? What if, while clouds have silver linings, human miseries often don’t? What if money does, in fact, buy happiness? Platitudes create the illusion of a fair and orderly world, thereby preventing us from considering the possibility that it is, in fact, a grossly absurd and unjust world. They can keep us from appreciating the depth and completeness of certain tragedies, because they are designed to help us deal with our circumstances without losing our minds. And even when they are telling us that life is unfair or that nice guys finish last, the platitudes command us to conclude that it is what it is and you’ve gotta go with the flow. Platitudes, hammered into us from the time we first come to understand the language, discourage us from the kind of open inquiry that might lead to frightening conclusions, or that might cause us deep distress and disquiet. If it turns out that “what doesn’t kill you” can still turn you into, say, a blind quadriplegic, the world can seem too awful to bear.

Update:

 

Faroe Islands:

Faroe Islands had the last case of Covid19 the 8. April. Since then it has been Corona free.

A total of 187 got infected. None were admitted to intensive care. None died.

 

Iceland:

Iceland is really interesting because they have tested the general healthy public for antibodies as well as the regular testing.

 

COVID-19 antibodies have been found in 0.9% of Icelanders who have not been quarantined or recovered from a confirmed infection, Visir reports.

If we assume 0,9% of Icelanders got infected (seems conservative) that is 3276 cases.

Covid19 deaths = 10

Mortality rate = 0,3

 

*Iceland had 1806 confirmed cases. 1794 have recovered. Last infection was on 12. april.

 

Denmark:

Denmark just released some Covid19 related numbers.

None under 50 years of age has died.

None under 60 years without comorbidity has died.

3/4 of mortalities were over 75 years.

Average mortality age is 82 years. (Danish life expectancy is 81 years)

 

In contrast 195 people between the age of 15-64 died of the regular influenza last year. 9 children under the age of 15 died as well from the regular flu last year.

Danish info:

VISION OF THE CASE: Virtually all chronic diseases significantly increase the risk of a serious COVID-19 course. The same goes for high age, severe mental illness and abuse of any kind. This is the conclusion after the first major systematic mapping of the risk profile of the Danes who have been hospitalized or died of coronavirus.
