In the past we were warned using too much could compromise your immune system, so one has to wonder with all this washing and sanitizing if we aren't going to be more vulnerable to other things in the future. Cue an executive order temporarily banning hand sanitizer in 3..2...1...

yzerman19 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Inside my stats in CA: cases still ticking up due to testing. Hospital admits for CV19 just fell off a cliff! Discharges 2:1 over admits. This is a great sign. Again considering it’s probably 10-14 days from infection to an admission, we are probably a good 2 weeks post real concern. Plus homeless and SNF folks have nowhere to discharge to at present, and those populations appear to be driving the positives out there. I believe in CA we are post pandemic and dealing with a flu at this point...no more public health concern for the masses, just the vulnerable...plus we were 90 and sunny all weekend, frying up that little virus! Let’s Go! 3

sioux24/7 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 So y’all think I should be able to have my wedding as if nothing has happened in late August? Had to move it once already because of this crap.
UNDBIZ Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Burgum suggested he may be able to relax the shutdown of certain businesses this weekend in his press briefing today. 1

I joked to my fiancé that if we can make it through this, then we can make it through anything. We had two weeks where we were in our apartment constantly, which got nervy towards the end, but she has gotten back to work.
UND1983 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Burgum like WANTS everyone to die I guess. Amirite??
Cratter Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Curious if the flu also disproportionately effects NYC too? 1

Did the NoDak Governor give any specifics on what bars, restaurants, etc. need to do or what capacity they are allowing or is that coming another day? I'm asking because I can't find it anywhere other than the announcement that they are opening up.

Using the 2017-18 flu season data which was particularly bad year, NYC saw a comparative 30% higher death rate than the national average. So the numbers say the flu does disproportionately impact NYC too. The US crude death rate for the flu in 2017-18 per 100,000: 17.1 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/mortality-dashboard.htm# There is a lot of information to unpack here, but it is a compilation of all mortality data for NYC from 2017. Unfortunately, it does not have hospitalization data. https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/vs/2017sum.pdf NYC Influenza & Pneumonia Deaths (2017 - Page 62): 1,985 Crude Death Rate Per 100,000: 22.6 Total Deaths from all causes in 2017: 54,319 Hospitalizations for all of New York state for 2017-18 flu season: 23,337 Total positive flu tests: 82,884 Total Positive flu tests in NYC specifically: 45,368 https://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/influenza/surveillance/2017-2018/archive/2018-05-19_flu_report.pdf NYC has a website dedicated specifically to recording and tracking COVID data (March 10th to April 26th). https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page Positive Cases: 156,000 Hospitalizations: 40,050 Confirmed deaths: 11,718 Probable deaths: 5,228 Reported as COVID: 12,287 Crude Death Rate Per 100,000: 139.4 Full disclosure: I have no idea what hospitalizations are defined as. 3
gfhockey Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Downtown grand forks center square was hopping today when I drove buy.
Cratter Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Guessing burgum will allow people to get haircuts again. Probably a step by step process. Maybe then restaurants with every other table available. And in 4 years crowded bars.

Made a point to call out not fully stocking the freezer expecting a full weekend. We will see how it goes. Give people options.
