Ok, I admit I missed metaphors. The point is clear.

Looks legit.
Bonus, free bleach!

When the hospitals are overrun and the doctors and nurses start dropping from lack of protective gear, it won't make a shit bit of difference what insurance you have.

Will it kill the moss on my driveway?

Glad I didn’t stock up on bleach then.

Why doesn't that matter so much? It's a point of context. Think about someone with relatives in China where they only get filtered news. I get asked often about news and politics in USA because it is new culture to them and they don't understand it.

Has anyone brought up the likelihood of transmission through public toilets?
Was just thinking about that while sitting on the throne...

Wanker.

Anal bleach?? I heard it's a fad in the west coast.

Who here would have thought Alameda County (Oakland) is 31% asian? Santa Clara at 38%?

More of us than thought it was higher than that.

Apparently.

Your fetishization of Asians is rivaled only by Viva's, but at least his manifests in a form that benefits our whole community.

Yes, basically people can get disinfected and bleach their assholes at the same time.

Edit for: in general the younger you are the better is what they are saying. It’s the young people infecting the elderly that is the real problem... as I’m sure has been beaten to death here already..

FWIW, this is not what’s being asked.

The question: what’s the age breakdown of infected by severity of infection (not mortality)? For example, what’s the percentage of those 20-29 that are confirmed infected and end up needing hospitalization. In SK, 20-29 year olds are the most or second most infected age group that have been discovered. But i haven’t seen info about how many of that range end up needing hospitalization for survival. I haven’t seen this data anywhere. I have read, though, from a WHO report that average hospital stay through recovery is 6-8 weeks (regardless of patient age).

No apology

**bodywhomper** · 03-15-2020, 01:35 PM

Also, I haven’t seen data for children with immune-compromised disabilities. That’s the population that my wife works with. Schools are grappling with the need to continue to provide special services to that population.

In 1990 Santa Clara County was 17% asian. In 2020 its 38%. That's astonishing statistic. Santa Clara has a lot of C-19 cases relatively.

**powdrhound** · 03-15-2020, 01:44 PM

For me, Medicare deductible for hospital admission was $1,350 - that the secondary insurance did not cover. Then they pay 80% of whatever they knock the bill down to.
It is not free.

Well I hope the aerial bleaching works there.

This Asian thing is weird

King County is 15% asian. Ground zero USA. If you have a lot of asians it's likely they traveled to Asia and therefore higher risk of transmission. Not sure what the problem is with that observation.
