Here is an official breakdown of all cases by age https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6912e2.htm 14.3–20.8% hospitalization is quite high for age 20-44 demographic. I wonder what it is for the flu? I've never gone to the hospital when I've had the flu, either has my wife. This is the reason everyone was so worried about our hospitals being overrun. Hospitals already run at 80% capacity.

Eric Kidwell RIP Kious Kelly, RN We rightfully honor our fallen soldiers who pass away in our service. So tonight, please spare a thought for Kious Kelly, RN a nurse manager who died last night in the "war" on COVID 19 in New York. He worked at a hospital where they don't have enough personal protective equipment, so they have been making their own gowns out of trash bags. Then, if you would, spare a thought for how you would feel if one of our soldiers was killed because they made their own body armor out of cardboard because we didn't have enough when the enemy attacked. And try to react with that same feeling for the people who failed them. Our nurses are the best of us. They deserve better.

I need more details. Is it going to get much worse? My company has been fantastic through this. I'm considered a "life sustaining" business so we're still open. However, only working 25 hours a week, and getting paid for 40. They also offer 1 week emergency PTO that doesn't count against you, 2 weeks quarantine PTO that doesn't count against you as well. I'm really happy with what they've done.

Italy: fines up to 3000€ for anyone found outside their home without valid reason, up to 6 years of prison if caught lying, 5 years if positive & breaking quarantine

Mortality rate down to 4.51% today.

The head doctor of Trump said he expects the virus to come back in the fall again. Similar to the 1918 virus did, which mutated over the summer and came back.

Look at Washington. You'd be making like $1400 a week up there.

Every state is different in the way its calculated and what you receive. This map is outdated. NY is $504

Per week checks: $20,000: $192+600= $792 $30,000: $288+600= $888 $40,000: $385+600=$985 $50,000: $481+600=$1,081 Anything above $52,400 you get $504+600=$1,104

Did this get approved? Had no idea about this. My wife would make more too and the health insurance is under me so we would actually benefit from this. I take what I said back. Looks like NYS max unemployment is $504 per week, with the $600 it would equate to $1104 per week if you qualify for maximum benefits. The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) determines your weekly unemployment benefit amount by dividing your earnings for the highest paid quarter of the base period by 26, up to a maximum of $504 per week. $13,100/26=$504 So you'd need to make $52,400 per year to get the max unemployment.

US arguing over $1200 stimulus payment to pay my mortgage for one month. UK: Unveiling an unprecedented intervention by the state in the British economy, finance minister Rishi Sunak told reporters that the government will cover 80% of worker salaries for at least the next three months up to a maximum of £2,500 ($2,900) a month, which is more than the average income. CANADA: The bill would give C$2,000 a month for the next four months for people who lost their job because of Covid-19. It would apply to people who are quarantined, helping a sick family member, have been laid off or have not received payment from their employer. NORWAY: After 17 days without an income, the government will step in and ensure payments of 80 per cent of the average income the person has had for the last three years (up until income level equivalent to an annual salary of around 600 000 NOK). Rights to child care benefits and sick leave have also been improved. The day after, on Tuesday, the government said they would find temporary ways of also covering the 17 days without income. Parents who have to look after their children because kindergartens and schools are closed will receive child care benefits from NAV, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration. Where previously each parent to a child below the age of 12 years old could take ten days off to care for a sick child – this has been increased to 20 days and can be used by parents who now have to stay home with their children. On Tuesday March 17, the government also announced that parents will not have to pay for kindergarten and after-school-care for the duration of these institutions being closed due to the coronavirus. The kindergartens will continue to receive government funding, so as to not have to lay off any staff.

Yes, but with any sickness/disease. You only get tested when you're showing symptoms. My mom went to the doctor with a bad sinus infection Jan 2019 that would not go away. 1 week later she had stage 4 cancer near her brain. There are lots of people walking around with cancer, hypertension, etc... that don't know about it. Only when people get symptoms do they go to the doctors. The mortality rate has to be based on those officially diagnosed with the virus, just like any disease is.

I checked out NYS budget. 5% goes to welfare. 41% goes towards Healthcare, 26% towards education. Fix those and the budget gets a lot easier to manage.

Mortality up to 4.53%

Are those Italy and Spain numbers updated?

Brother in law fired(with company 6 years), wife got laid off this morning in an emergency lay off. Has been with company for 7 years. This virus is going to have an impact on this country for 5-10 years at least.

8.6% mortality rate in Italy. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/ Global mortality rate is 4.15% https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Not for the faint of heart.

Statewide shutdown in NYS.

8.3% fatality rate... *Italy’s Coronavirus Death Tolls Surpasses China’s *Italy Says 3,405 Infected People Have Died *41,000 People Have Tested Positive for the Virus in Italy so far

Lets not forget what happened in 1918, obviously that is highly unlikely with our medical advancements. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/reconstruction-1918-virus.html

Yeah I don't get it. Food and water would be a top priority for me. Toiler paper means nothing to me.
