They walk through two doors at the end of the hall, recovered or dead. For many of them, they have only started, we'll find out the real numbers when they have finished being sorted out.

Also there are a lot of people who are "recovered" and tested negative, but a few days later were testing positive again. Either the testing kits are testing for the wrong things or are defective in some way, or there is the possibility the disease is biphasal or/and retreats to a reservoir in the body.

2,900 deaths in a country of 1.39B. 2 deaths per million people.

If the same things happens in the US, that's 800 people dead in the US.

Almost 3,000 Americans die each month in traffic accidents.

Keep things in perspective.
Are you sure about that? The Secretary of State website makes it seem like they need to be requested:

"Any registered voter may vote using a vote-by-mail ballot instead of going to the polls on Election Day. To request a vote-by-mail ballot for a single election or to request a vote-by-mail ballot for all elections (permanent vote-by-mail voting), follow the simple process described below."

So when I see this:

> It is important to note that no law exists requiring medical device manufacturers to notify the FDA when they become aware of a circumstance, including discontinuation of a product, that could lead to a potential shortage, and manufacturers are not required to respond when the FDA requests information about potential supply chain disruption.

...in my head, I translate it to this:

> We welcome a law requiring medical device manufacturers to notify the FDA when they become aware of a potential shortage or discontinuation, and requiring manufacturers to respond when the FDA requests information about potential supply chain disruption.
> the odds are so low that there is simply no reason to be worried

Which odds? The deathrate is higher than the flu and its more transmissible than the flu, what odds are you talking about?
Every person infected on the Diamond Princess was identified (~800 people, older cohort than the general population), and 6 people have died so far, with optimal care. That's a strong indicator that it's much worse than the usual flu, though hardly Captain Trips.

You're nitpicking for no reason; they're close approximations. maybe it was 2.1% or 1.9% maybe it was 40 million or 60 -- record keeping 1918 globally may not have been exactly computer-perfect. There was a war being recovered from, the world was still poor, and medical science inexact.

The GP's point stands, I think.

It's extremely unlikely for an individual, perhaps, and I'm honestly not particularly afraid for my life. (If anything, I'm worried about my convenience, whether I get sick or just people in my area.) However in aggregate if we act in a conscientious manner, we can slow or stop the spread in our own areas, and/or head off a run on supplies by doing some shopping early. I agree we need to be measured. I'm not changing my behavior much yet since community spread hasn't hit my area. Once it does I might try to reduce my time in public. Even now I may consider staying away from conferences that bring travelers, etc.
What website are you referring to?

My comment was driven by my own experience with process estimation, though other commenters have pointed out that it's also supported by research on SARS: https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/162/5/479/82647
> banned any events with > 1000 people

Yes, in a desperate attempt to slow the spread so that health systems aren't overrun. The difference in outcomes for those with severe symptoms (of any sort, from any illness) is vastly different based on the availability and quality of medical care.
Iran was also at the tail end of 4-year, 3-sided war that killed around 2M people. The very fact that there's 1.5M people (!) leeway in the numbers tells you something about the state the country was in, and how difficult it is to attribute those deaths specifically to one thing like the flu.

Sleep more! There was some study that found that reducing your sleep from 9 hours to 5.5 hours reduces your immune system by 1/2. I don’t have a citation handy but whenever I got sick in college, it was usually during final exam weeks when I had to pull late nighters. Sleeping is the single best thing you can do for your immune system and your immune system is your last line of defense.
>>I have the coronavirus. So far, it isn't that bad.

Sounds like he is in a communist medical system. Pandemic prevention is something each person should price in, paying to test themselves individually, in a free market.

He is absolutely right that driver monitoring is a necessary component of any SAE Level 2 and above. It will remain so until capable Level 4 and 5 systems are deployed and verified by billions of low accident rate miles in real world scenarios.

I will risk predicting the future here: Tesla will have to add a robust driver monitoring system (beyond steering wheel torque sensor) to their cars with "autopilot" enabled.

> The only break we get is that young adults don't seem nearly as susceptible to Covid-19 as they were to Spanish Flu.

I understand the caution but I'm glad SCaLE is still on! I've been attending for years and now coming from out of town. Makes me think about responses to COVID-19/coronavirus on a scale from open-source/bottom-up to institutional/top-down. The SCaLE announcement definitely fits the open-source/diy approach.
2,900 deaths after shutting down the economy for a quarter or more.
Your repeating bullshit and should delete your comment.

Anyone looking at the situation knows there is a serious concern that the deathrates will heavily depend on if people will have access to critical care like drugs and ventilators.

If COVID-19 reaches flu levels of infection its insane to believe that countries like africa or even a lot of western countries would be able to give such medical treatment to 10% of their populations.
More people died from the Spanish Flu than from combat in WW1 and WW2 combined. That was the first global pandemic due to soldiers traveling around the world. What's a modern version going to look like in an era of airplane travel?
On the other hand, without continuous deployment, my experience is that a deployment to live always goes wrong, meaning you have to budget an entire night for one deployment, and hope you’ll fix all the issues before next morning.
If you have a runny nose, odds are it's not coronavirus. Most patients only have a high fever and coughing.

Mortality is 100%...for the person that dies from it. And that 1% rate is so far, I hope we don't see what happens if 46 million people in USA get it and try going to the hospital.

> The death rate for the current coronavirus seems to be about 2%

The United States has about 2.7 hospital beds per thousand people. Hospitalization and attentive care is the biggest contributor to survival rates for COVID-19 patients.

This is why medical professionals are concerned that is spreads effectively without presenting symptoms. One day you are going to wake up and every primary care facility will be overwhelmed.
Rust has panic (and unwind_stack) for when things are truly borked.

Exceptions for error conditions are for the birds because they lead to bugs either in the code or in the compiler, and they lead to messy code.

Rust has functional-style error handling where it's possible to run other code, handle or ignore errors whereas exceptions create messy try catch blocks for every caller.

Pay very close attention if you have it more than a week and your symptoms start taking a turn for the worse. That's one of the hallmarks of a Covid-19 case going bad.

Flu generally should be pretty cleared up by day 10.
> Not everyone gets the flu every year because we have natural immunity to it

This is not true, new viruses do appear and the flu vaccine is updated with the common ones. See the edit to my comment above.

It's not inevitable that there will be "widespread transmission". Nobody can predict the future.

It is important to slow the spread by educating people with facts, not with doom-prophesizing fear. Maintaining mental health is also important.
If your portfolio is diversified, e.g. via an index following the S&P 500, I don't see a reason to worry. Trying to time the whole market with short-term bets is a gamble, not a long-term strategy.

In shortage situations, one mask reused properly is better than no mask.

I work at a medical center in Korea and we are under the following instructions:

1. Place masks for reuse in a specific place to avoid cross contamination.
2. Treat the outside of the mask as contaminated. Don't touch.
3. Wash hands after wearing a reused mask.
4. Throw out masks if they get wet, damaged, or (N95 only) folded.

Note that this number might be kinda deceptive both ways. Because they were forced to stay on the ship abnormally long under quarantine.

There's a paper that estimates that if they were allowed to leave the ship right away (on Feb 3rd) 2% would have been infected, and if they were not taking special measures (isolation, etc) but on the ship for a similar amount of time (until Feb 19) that 80% of the passengers would have been infected:

You sure you'd get in trouble, or are you just assuming? Especially if you still worked from home?

Possibly I've just hit the boss jackpot 11 times in a row, but I've never been punished for staying home when sick. When I've felt capable, I've worked from home when sick, but sometimes I haven't even done that.

Assumptions aside, the rest of the people you're endangering don't care what your boss thinks, so, maybe everyone should reevaluate their priorities. Bosses included.
Exactly. So, what are the chances that something 3.5 times larger would have a bigger chance of resulting in new clusters? Better than one that I would personally take my chances on. Just one infected person visiting an event like that, just one, and you'll have a whole new set of clusters to deal with up to one month later. Just like the authorities of .ch have decided that's a chance they'd rather not take the same would hold for visitors of events like that. And as the number of infected people grows so the chances of a hit. Keep in mind that this event is not tomorrow and that between now and then there will be plenty more people infected.

Hypothesis: some were infected, survived, then reinfecterd and died.
I’ll start to worry after the first 80,000 people die.

The US has shit medical care for most people. People will get sick and die before thinking about going to the hospital. I wouldn’t worry about them being overwhelmed.
There are not “a lot” of reinfected. There are a few reported cases and they’re as confusing as they are worrying.

The Diamond Princess is pretty reassuring, in a way, because it shows that if appropriate healthcare ends up delivered to every patient, you can effectively fight the coronavirus and prevent a Wuhan situation.

But the most salient factor of the Diamond Princess is this: everyone did receive top-notch treatment, and no healthcare system was put under strain by treating the patients. That will be hard in the real world, as opposed to the petri dish case.

The key thing right now is slowing down the spread as much as possible, so the medical system doesn't end up overloaded.
It's true, you might be exposed and not get infected. But given the relatively high rate of infection coupled with lack of natural immunity, you should probably assume that you will become infected once it becomes widespread in your community.

But seriously, most cases are mild - and that's just the reported ones, which will almost inevitably skew to more serious symptoms.

Technical question: I'm not super familiar with this virus, for how long will you still test positive after you've recovered? And could that be impacting the statistics from the cruise ship?
Yes, instead it’s setting off cytokine storms in older people.
Valid point! This is indeed already much higher, and only sets a lower bound. So we should keep an eye on this well controlled sample.

So we have a lower bound of somewhere around 1% and an upper bound of somewhere around 7% ( https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ ) at the moment. Not very reassuring.
I think the problem they're printing out isn't the writing, it's the content. Coroutines and event loops are two independent concepts.

I know I'm making an LSP implementation for my personal language. A total must-have.
Also, the longer you can put this off, you get outside of flu season, and the better weather probably helps fight against everything.
A very large part of that though is Java not being 'generic' over checked exception types. So if you e.g. build something that supports end-user callback code, you need to either throw Exception (accepting all code but losing all signal as to what's possible) or nothing (forcing RuntimeException boxing).

That's Java. And I agree it is a wildly painful and incomplete implementation. I wish we'd stop conflating it with checked exceptions as a language feature.

I see these stats popping up when people express fear and it's crazy to me that we've hit the point where saying "Well, you probably won't even die!" is supposed to assuage concern.

Sure, I probably won't die if I get it.

I'd rather not be laid up in the hospital (or at home even, really), missing work and other important events as I accrue a larger and larger financial burden because of the US's expensive health care. And that's not even considering the impact this could have to my elderly family and friends.

I think your comment is a very good assessment of the issue: healthcare availability decides mortality it seems...

It seems to me that we will all eventually get this virus. It's on all continents, it's infectious and hard to diagnose before it's spread. So the question is whether we can manage it so it hits slowly enough that everyone who needs inpatient care can get it. I wonder how tmit will look when it hits western countries in full. I hope its OK.
And yet, this Harvard Medical School link (not a report, not peer reviewed, but whatevs) clearly states that one CT scan of 4 to 18 mSV increases cancer risk by 0.7%, which is higher than the increase of 0.5% from 100 mSV exposure over a greater period of time. So, no. The Harvard Medical School link does not refute in any way my point. In fact, it supports my point.

Not saying there's anything wrong with this. But I wrote a generic command line parsing library for C# some years back, and simple validators like min / max values were handled with attributes. The elegance was that limits were defined in exactly one place in the code, and error messages like that manually constructed above were synthesized automatically. (Of course you could override with your own validation function for bespoke cases)

Actually it didn't at first. The Spanish Flu went through 3 waves.

The first wave was very similar to the standard flu. Fairly mild, primarily killed the elderly and sick. It first appeared around January.

The 2nd wave is what killed young people. It didn't show up until August.
I haven't been able to find good sources on this, not that I'm disputing it, plenty of other viruses remain in people's system long after they are "cured".

Either way, I think any hope of containing and exterminating the virus is long gone. We will likely all get this eventually. The question is whether we can manage that process so that hospitals are not overrun by the people who need inpatient care.
This is a very thinly disguised ad/puff-piece for Comma.
Yeah... but checked exceptions are controversial within the Java community to say the least. Some codebases eschew checked exceptions altogether, rewrapping any checked exceptions they find.

This is in contrast to how sharp of a divide the community observes around Error vs Exception.

In practice there's a lot of Java code that collapses "internal" and "external" errors into unchecked exceptions.
