Georgia New Case age distribution from yesterday (announced today)
This will be short of the full total because I didn't do under 4 year olds.
5-9 50 cases
10-17 258 cases 3 hospitalization, 0 deaths
18-29 1182 cases, 21 hospitalizations, 0 deaths
30-39 672 cases, 34 hospitalizations, 2 deaths
40-49 473 cases, 53 hospitalizations, 1 death
50-59 381 cases 47 hospitalizations, 2 deaths
60-69 245 cases, 30 hospitalizations, 3 deaths
70-79 97 cases, 17 hospitalizations, 3 deaths
80+ 42 cases, 20 hospitalizations, 11 deaths
Prayers especially for those in the older groups, especially the 80+'s. The ones in the hospital have a slightly less than fifty-fifty chance of going home. The 70's are about 40% mortality once hospitalized, and the 60's are just over 25% mortality when hospitalized.
Real world example back......because families don't have many places to travel for vacation because foreign countries will quarantine.....and because business are not having their salesman travel because of fear from backlash or because their just isn't enough business to support travel.
Texan can't travel to New York, Paris or even Mexico. Fly to California.....nothing open.....South Beach....nope. How about Hawaii? If you want to get arrested for leaving your Hotel.
So yes......there are reasons air travel is down.
Also from a business standpoint, most companies have halted travel(flying). The company I work for is also on a hiring freeze in order to halt movement.
Wonder how many of those hospitalizations were actually necessary. Obviously some...but hospitals aren't turning anybody away.
Would you prefer it had been from the New York Times? Are they more reputable? /s
I've wondered. I think probably most were needed, if only because they want to monitor. I think if you report trouble breathing then they admit. Likely some of the older folks also live alone with nobody to check on them.
Than a tabloid who’s big thing is punny headlines? Absolutely
the times is biased no doubt. But they aren’t a tabloid.
if I’ve learned anything these last few days is this thread it’s that we believe what we want to be true, seek out sources to confirm this, then deny all bias and put it on those who might disagree with us.
we are all guilty of it, including myself
And Reason magazine
learned the last few days???
I keep waiting on you or one of the others to post a link to Salon.
Exhibit A- Florida fans.
Funny that you seem to know my politics. I've never once posted anything even remotely political here. And never will.
Agree.
I don't read the crap anymore. Like I said... everyone can find an article or study to fit what they want to believe.
What's the same for everyone..... or almost everyone? Mortgage or rent due.
Open everything up so it can be paid
Every reason you give is due to not having the virus under control. That's the point. Open anything and everything but nobody is buying. Miami survives on tourism but who is going to go there? Europe is big for tourists coming to Florida. They are going elsewhere, not because the bars are not open it's because the bars are open and cases are astronomical. Who is going to visit until the threat declines? Remember I was going to go to Tampa this past weekend. The hotel was open, the Casino was open the hotel sports bar was open but I cancelled because the infection level was too high. I am not saying close everything to save me, I am saying close high risk businesses for a few weeks to save the economy. We are hoping to reschedule the mini break in a months time but I am sure I am not alone in thinking I am not going to spend my money on visiting a "war zone".
We cruise about 3 times a year but we will only go when it is less risky (not risk free). if they offered a free cruise tomorrow we would not go. Opening everything = long term economic disaster not sustainable growth. The more you try to go back to (old) normal the longer the economic suffering will continue. Look at Europe, they now have less than half the cases as Florida with 440 million people. What makes you think they are coming here?
Bars in Florida are closed as of last week. Hotel bars and casinos might get away with it but normal bars and clubs are closed. We are back in time out.
