Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

[Rideski]

Like the person above me that posted they would rather lick door knobs then live like that....it is something I am not willing to go through. Leave my groceries outside or in my garage for three days? How would that work in the summer?

Admit it. You can’t make it through a 500 word article. They gave options. Why would I bother to re-type if you have blinders on.

So found out an old waterpolo buddy has it. He also has 7 high end restaurants shut down in SF, and easily a million plus a month in rent.

Unbelievable how fast life can go to shit.

How many days until the U.S. forces them to adjust their scale?

Ha. Like last week's employment report. Bang, zoom, to the moon!

So, they're learning from the dead. Seems that there is a big correlation with pre existing conditions, like diabetes and heart problems, who are buddies down at the end of the bar. So one wonders how the South will prevail, home to the most obese in America.

"A long narrow section of the ground"... So a ditch then? Solid plan imo, those guys get right to the point.

The world needs ditch diggers, eh?

You know, even though this happened about 2/7, ya wonder if it was a source for high Colorado's problems.

^ouch

Probably a bit too early. This guy seems to have been the CO ski country super-spreader (shortly after skiing in northern Italy, which this article doesn't mention), and he was at Vail about 3 weeks after your photo.

@Benny it was confirmed the “vip” that went to the conference with Pence had been to Italy before he came to Vail and elsewhere and was patient zero.

“Wealth is the vector.” That’s what sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom tweeted last week, in reference to the spread of COVID-19 across both the globe and the United States. Wealth is not the cause of every concentrated outbreak dotting the United States. But it’s the common denominator of so much of its spread outside of major urban areas. It’s the reason why so many of the coronavirus hot spots in the Mountain West — Sun Valley, Idaho; Gunnison County, Colorado; Summit County, Utah; Gallatin County, Montana — overlap with winter playgrounds for the wealthy. The virus travels via people, and the people who travel the most, both domestically and internationally, are rich people.

A party in the tony bedroom community of Westport, Connecticut, all the way back on March 5, became what one epidemiologist referred to as a “super-spreading event,” with infected attendees dispersing throughout Connecticut and New England, and one party-goer falling ill on a plane ride back to South Africa. In Idaho’s Blaine County, home to Sun Valley, more than half of the residential properties are second homes or rental properties, and more than 30,000 people fly into the regional airport during ski season alone. As of March 31, 187 people in the county of 22,000 have tested positive, including local emergency room physician Brent Russell. Two people have died. The town’s small hospital has two ICU beds and a single ventilator.

none of the above has a solid lead.

None of the above wins In non hospitalization. Yesssssss

But current smoker is 5% icu

Former smoker 20% icu?

Holee fuk.

Makes me want to smoke a cigarette nine miles long

[The AD]

Yeah, but pretty scary that if you have at least one of the listed conditions you basically have a 50-50 shot of needing hospitalization.

I don't understand why if you add across the three columns they don't come out to 100%, though.
edit: I suspect that's the "status unknown" portion shown in grey.

I suspect lots of the real geezers are former smokers, and the current smokers skew younger which would explain the discrepancy. Essentially there aren't many real old "current smokers" because they all died younger from smoking...

covid didnt get here from Wuhan by walking, it flew here on an airplane hanging out with upworldly mobile college boys and girls who can afford to fly or hanging out with other people who fly ... think of it as a rich man's pandemic

[bennymac]

they say that most or all of use are gonna get it - and when you do you want to be in the "none of the above" group - or at least have your chronic medical conditions optimised as much as possible

I agree that the "former smokers" are the ones that quit when they went on home oxygen from burning their lungs up

essentially your trying to tell me you havent seen any "old" people "currently smoking" because they "all died"
essentially im thinking you are not looking really hard or even at all or don't understand the definition of "all"

[bennymac]

It gets a bit complicated as they have a separate line for chronic lung disease - which if you smoke long enough you’re gonna get and quitting doesn’t make it go away once that lung disease is there

I never said there aren't "any" old people smoking, but I'll betcha it's a factor and probably explains the difference in these stats for current and former smokers. Most lifelong, heavy smokers don't make it to 80+ where COVID-19 is going to put most people in the hospital.

I can tell you for a fact that a shitton of people got brought infection to the Burton open.
