I read it as gonna be bad in the South because you have generally higher rates of obesity and smoking. As I posted a few pages back, however, that's not really a geography thing. Rather it's a rural/educational thing, and the south is more rural and less educated in general, than much of the country. My prediction, outside of the urban areas, the rate of contagion in the south will be lower because of low population density and no one goes there to visit (flyover country), but the fatality rate will be higher because the population is generally less healthy and access to quality healthcare is lacking.
It's 60 degrees and sunny now in Nashville, so I'm going to take my skinny, overeducated ass out for a jog and think about it some more.

Although it’s easy to imagine a science fiction plot where China did it on purpose, interesting to consider they just wiped out a gigantic swath of their customers. Not just dead, but supply chains etc. would be curious to hear from some of the several people here that have China based manufacturing employers. Is this ever going back to square one? Tangent, any chance Chinese people are so fed up they overthrow CCP? On the twitter feed I posted earlier, they were showing a busload of young and the narrative was they might be headed on a one way trip to slaveville. not sure about credibility though.

I believe the answer is that many people who had COVID-19 in SK weren't tested. Here's this if you haven't seen it: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Also, fuck if I know man...just trying to wade through the data and see if there is anything positive to glean from it. Hard to be doom and gloom all the time.Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

There's lots of positive to glean from it.
330M x 60% (expected infection rate) x 20% (symptomatic rate) x 15% (hospitalization rate) x 20% (ventilator rate). x 50% (fatality rate)
= slightly under 1% of the pop or as the UK (based on the Imperial College Report) said 0.5 to 1%. Cross-reference that across age and health and unless you have coronary heart disease, diabetes or kidney issues and are over 60 your chance of dying is slightly higher than dying from falling on steps.

Had an odd conversation today with a buddy.
He is 65, healthy for the south but not so much Bozeman. Anyway, he was sick last week, headache, low grade fever/chills (99/100) range, cough, felt shitty. Went to his Doctor and they said "no test, fever isn't high enough", "you have the flu most likely."
Most Likely?I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Tragically the writing is on the wall for a bunch of third world countries.
I posted a couple hundred pages ago about the million refugees outside Turkey. Then there’s Africa, South America, etc. not as much travel there so they will lag behind Europe and US with less influx. But when it hits it will be calamity.

The Syrian refugees are going to get decimated. As if they weren't already drowning in a bottomless pool of shit...
India will be interesting. They're being very pro-active and aggressive. I work with a lot of people there who are considered part of essential industries and they got shut down just like everyone else despite their hope that they could continue to operate. The only projects that can continue with a very restricted staff are "essential research projects of global significance". This is in the biopharma field so you can imagine what the focus is.
Of note, most have expressed serious worries about the US trajectory and feel better about how their country is handling it. It's not misplaced nationalism either, all of these guys spent 10+ years getting educated in the US, they know how things work around here, and they all are happy not to be here with us.

The Norwegians, Swiss, Canadians I know are all really concerned about the US. Not flinging poo but just stepping back and looking at it clinically (well as clinically as one can given the circumstances), you Americans are going to be a real-time laboratory experiment for a new way to deal with this particular pandemic by dramatically departing from the path taken by the three countries who've been (so far) successful in dealing with COVID 19.
It's a hell of a roll of the dice.

Chinese Rat Flu
Absolutely, but we have all the kids sitting in cages not to mention >1% of our population locked up in close quarters, many of them on bullshit drug and other charges that they haven’t even been convicted of but can’t get out of jail only because they can’t afford it.
