I actually am really happy with our LG set. Our dryer went over New Years. That thing was well past two decades. My old gear was so old, it was all mechanical and easy to fix. But the new gear is way more efficient, and overall works way better. I’m hoping things work out with it. Just have had friends and family over the past few years that had equipment shot the bed in short time. I went with what we got primarily based on my mom’s reviews of longevity, simple design by modern standards, cost and CR review. But when it breaks down I’ll likely need to call someone instead of grabbing a tool box and opening up and replacing parts myself.

I'm presuming what you needed to know is www.google.com
Here's a link
http://www.g-feed.com/2020/03/covid-...-activity.html
and a really cool CDC view.

^ The link is for pollution in China and the chart is for flu deaths in America but your original claim is "Across china and Italy total deaths are falling," not deaths for some causes are falling. Maybe we'll find all cause mortality did fall but it's doubtful comprehensive numbers are available at this point.
And if all cause mortality does fall in Wuhan and affected parts of Italy, what's the argument?

^ Followed by the second paragraph, "None of my calculations support any idea that pandemics are good for health. The effects I calculate just represent health benefits from the air pollution changes wrought by the economic disruption, and do not account for the many other short- or long-term negative consequences of this disruption on health or other outcomes; these harms likely vastly exceed any health benefits from reduced air pollution."
....
And in case you didn't keep reading, per my point above that it's doubtful comprehensive numbers are available: "estimates are a prediction of mortality impacts, not a measurement. They are not proof that anything has happened."
With that said, I commend you for recognizing the enormous harm air pollution causes when it comes to human health. It's a big problem that will outlast COVID-19.

Read this last week then lost the link-
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/futur...ation-and-age/
All cause mortality, again misleading for China:
"
Many numbers seem small when expressed in per capita terms in a populous country like China. The direct deaths from COVID-19 in China may be only 0.03 percent of China’s estimated 10.5 million deaths this year. It may be 10 times as large if we just focus on the month of February. If we narrow in on Hubei province, then COVID-19 deaths would still represent less than 1 percent of estimated deaths for 2020, but almost 7 percent of all deaths in Hubei in February (Figure 3). For the city of Wuhan (not shown), COVID-19 could represent over 2 percent of all the deaths in 2020 and increased deaths in February by a quarter."
Move upside and let the man go through...

sorry if already observed, i know this site has been posted, but these charts are updated as data is updated: https://covid19.healthdata.org/ it's interesting (and sad) to observe (especially for states where the peak is sooner and the #'s all increase:

I wonder how many people grasp that efforts to flatten the curve also stretches the time out. States or countries that have taken more of a "take it on the chin" approach are going to have more overall deaths, but they're also going to get through this faster. People are going to be getting very antsy when we're going through the tail end of this.

the problem is obviously the end of life care
which would not be a problem if you just put the old people out on an iceflow like we do up hereLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

On the bright side, guessing drunk driving deaths are down.

People would also get pretty antsy if we took it on the chin and only had three months of 50,000 deaths per day.
Speaking of deaths per day. Who's getting to 1,000 first? My money is on Spain tomorrow or we tie them Wednesday. Unless we get to 800 today, which is seeming more and more possible.powdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.

What countries are still trying to take it on the chin? Sweden, Mexico? They have to reach herd immunity (lets say at least 60% infected) before they are through this. Approximately 1% of those 60% who are infected will be dead, in a short period of time, decimating their health care system, with ripple effects through all aspects of society. I don't think anyone will be envious of those countries 12-24 months down the road.
Here's the latest from Sweden:

Completely agree. And worse, his idea of send him “everything” because NY is peaking “first” etc is completely irresponsible. What if he’s wrong about the other cities “curves”. He’d be in no position to give up equipment. Plus, his math is stupid wrong to begin with.
But he sounds good.
