I guess it depends when you get the OTA update. My Global Mi Note 10 is on 11.0.16 and Feb 1 security update. I received it a week or more ago. Other than the security update, no visible improvements.

Your device is PDFMIXM which is global

And the firmware you download is PDFEUXM which is for Europe...

[Off-topic] Deaddpool:
So I'm surprised there's not been threads like this already and I know this is a site about making your phones kewl.....but this is the dreaded off-topic area.....so I'm gonna allow it. :silly:

Has this apparent global pandemic affected you directly yet? I'm guessing it has hit us all in some way or another by now?

For me, we've been touched by it already and I suspect my family will get hit harder by it eventually. Here's how/why....

- The Wife is a nurse at a hospital and will surely been facing covid 19 face to face sooner than later. And unfortunately her hospital is a bit of a mess, so I suspect it will sweep through the place fast and furious and I can't imagine she will be unscathed. So yes, my home will likely host the Corona at some point. :eek:

- I'm in construction and deal with people daily, and so I am sure to come face to face with an infected person/people before too long. Hopefully my 20 times a day hand sanitizing will mean something?

- folks in my area have lost every last marble and are hoarding everything they can...leaving people in need SOL for finding toilet paper, hand sanitizer, bread, bottled water, meat, soup, baby food and just about every other essential item. Though...i find it funny. Cause if the poop really hits the fan... I know several hoarders that I'll be relieving of their supplies all within walking distance. Lol

- My wife will likely have to nurse through the worst of times, should they come....cause that's what she signed on for. But me, I'll just be told to stay home, earning exactly zero dollars an hour and probably digging a financial hole we will find extremely hard to crawl out of.

- its March break here, so my wee ones are at home. Plus the school board here has said school will remain closed 2 more weeks after March break....so that is good. The kids get to stay home and stay away from the other little germ magnets they associate with!

Anyway....that is how this pandemic has and could hit my family. I'll just say this....before you contribute to cleaning stores out of essential items...take a second to think about others and maybe just get what you need for now and leave some for the rest of us. :good:

Edit: To the amazing super awesome moderators of this great site...if you're maybe thinking this topic isn't right for this site and about to click the delete or close button....perhaps reconsider and think that some here may wanna share feelings on this topic anonymously so to speak...and maybe share fears or hopes they have with the faceless here...rather than "real" people in their lives that don't need to hear about their insecurities? For me, I know I put on a brave face in person....but I'm scared a little too....but I want my family feeling confidence, so I don't dwell on these things I've said with them. :) Thanks my Mod friends!

May Force be with you and keeps you strong to fight the Darkside of this virus!
[Off-topic] mark manning:
Like you said it’s off topic so I’ll allow it ;) I mean wouldn’t you have? I’d bet so.

Anyways, Mike our Virologist friend taught me a lot about viruses over the years and I would say you should definitely be worried. I am and I’m still kinda young. I would worry more about being near someone infected that’s asymptomatic or even just sick more so than touching something that has it. You’re more likely to breath it being near someone rather than touch something with a live virus and have it enter your body that way.

Not sure what’s going on up north but down here in the south states and cities are taking drastic steps in hopes to contain everything. I pray that it gets contained otherwise this is just the beginning and lots of people won’t make it world wide. Hope you are well and stay healthy also bless your wife for what she does and what’s likely coming down the road. People like her in those professions need to be praised ?

Yes. My work place will be closed very soon, as they've announced yesterday that public life will be limited. I have other work I can do and the government will financially support affected businesses, so I'm not too worried. However, the signs for the pandemic were already there months ago and my government hasn't done anything to fight it until just recently, so I am not at all happy about how they are governing.

Keep us updated will ya? Things are crazy here where I live.
[Off-topic] Spaceminer:
I'm in the US. The only thing that concerns me is being able to find diapers and TP when I need it because of all the hoarding people are doing. Barring that, my level of concern here in the states is a solid zero.

I really love math and when you plug in the death toll vs the infection count, it's probably less dangerous than the flu. Obviously other countries will end up with different results. This is just using info for the US, so keep that in mind.

The most recent numbers I can find are,

Infections: 9,486

Deaths: 155

When you plug this into a calculator, I'll admit it looks kinda bad.

155 x 100 ÷ 9,486 = 1.63% ← This is the perceived death rate here.

And here's why it's nothing to panic over. Most people with mild symptoms, or no symptoms at all, simply won't be tested (unless they die), so the actual number of infections is definitely much higher. How high is it? We don't know exactly, but the estimates I've seen range from 200,000 to 500,000 infections . So let's use those numbers and see how bad the estimates are.

155 x 100 ÷ 200,000 = 0.07% ← This is our high end for the estimated death rate. Far lower than the flu or common cold.

And as the estimated number of infections goes up, the death rate drops accordingly. If 500,000 people are actually infected, then the death rate is way smaller.

155 x 100 ÷ 500,000 = 0.03% ← This is our low end estimate.

If you don't have a chronic health condition, or you're not over 60yrs old, then you really don't have much to worry about in my opinion. Wash your hands a bit more, avoid at risk people when going about your day if possible. Don't lose your head in the process. 99% of confirmed cases have been mild thus far. (Symptoms no worse than a cold, or allergies.)

Belgium here and we're on what they call a Lockdown light. We can only go outside to:

Go to work (if it's essential. when possible to work from home, it's obligatory)

Go to the store

Get money from an ATM

Go to the doctor

Help vulnerable people

Get some exercise like running, cycling, etc. (alone, with family members or with one friend if a distance of 1.5m is respected at all times)

All shops are closed, except:

Food stores, including night shops

Shops that sell mainly animal food

Pharmacies

News paper shops

Gas stations

Hair dressers (max of 1 customer at a time)

Conditions shops need to adhere to:

Social Distancing: people need to stay 1.5m apart from each other

In supermarkets there can only be 1 customer per 10m² and they can only be present for 30 minutes

Food stores can be open from 7AM to 10PM

Night shops must close at 10PM

Misc:

All bars/restaurants/etc. are closed, take-away is still allowed unless it causes large cues

Local markets are forbidden unless they are essential for food supply

Hotels can still be open but may not provide access to a bar or any other space that brings people together

Schools are open but only for day care (focused for people working in health care), no lessons are given

...

Confirmed: 1,795

Deaths: 21

Recovered: 31

It's been pretty crazy but manageable so far. The inexplicable rush for toilet paper has been a big deal here as well. What is up with that? They can starve to death but really need to be able to wipe their tushie for the next 6 months? lol. It all feels so unreal. It's like we've entered World War 3 but we're all fighting a common but invisible enemy.

I went out on a run yesterday and there were still quite a few people out and about getting some exercise or simply some fresh air. There was a massive amount of respect, honoring the social distancing and noticed that the younger folk always went out of the way for the elderly.

My wife works for the 112 emergency central and it's been true madness up there at times. I heard of 1.000 seconds of waiting time on the 'doctors on duty' weekend lines.

[MENTION=10435905]Deaddpool[/MENTION] Give my best to your wife as I have the utmost respect for everyone working in health care these days. Now more than ever, they are the true heroes of the world! Wishing the best for you and your family.

IKR! :eek: The ignorance and dismissal I see in so many people is just baffling. I've had a few arguments with people that have a more "liberal view" on the regulations our government wants us to follow. I believe the main issue is that many people refuse to believe problems if they can't see or experience them properly. It's sad to realize that for many people this will only become a real problem when a loved one dies. At that point it's likely far too late to start taking it seriously.

By the way, if we do the aforementioned math on mainland China we get ((3,249 * 100) / 81,155) 4% and it's not over just yet...

I explicitly stated the numbers were for the US and that other countries will have different results. Some countries are definitely much worse than others. At the time of writing that, those were the numbers available. They get updated daily here. When I used estimates, I also explicitly stated that they were just that, estimates. My math with the numbers I had at the time is perfectly correct. Using the numbers they updated with today, it puts the death rate 1.33% here, which is lower than yesterday. I am again, speaking only of the US in the above statement. I used John's Hopkins data tracker for my math. Which includes reports from the CDC, the WHO, and our state/local health departments. There were 13,159 confirmed cases in the US at the time of writing this, and 176 deaths.

Well again, the time from first symptoms to death is on average 14 days

And you can see that 14 days ago the US had 138 cases in total.

Source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I understand how you are calculating your numbers but you aren't taking in to account the time span of the COVID-19 disease that the SARS-CoV-2 virus creates. There is more to it than calculating cases vs deaths especially when the disease plays out over weeks to a month or so and that the vast majority of US cases have come in the past few days.

Okay so instead of manipulating mathematical statistics to support a particular point of view, let's ask this question:

In Korea where we've seen the most drastic measures taken to date, how many people have actually died there?

Compare that to Korea's population and perhaps we can get a better understanding of actual/realistic statistics.
[Off-topic] mark manning:
Sure but the problem is Korea only has 9,000 cases which the US surpassed just yesterday and fewer than half the deaths the US already has. The best numbers to look at statistically speaking are the Chinese numbers and their death rate was 3.5% roughly and based on the insane testing they put their citizens through in order to combat the outbreak, they are likely very accurately now that everything has subsided there. The next most inflicted country will be Italy and theirs is 7%. In about 2 or 3 days' time, the US will be the 3rd highest country in terms of infection numbers. We won't know what our numbers are going to be like for a while but one thing is for sure, they won't be like Korea's

I think what Mark is trying to say is that these kind of estimates, no matter how well they are intended, are dangerous. The expert numbers out there are more profound estimates that take all the right numbers into account. It's dangerous to make our own more optimistic assessments because that could make people believe it isn't all that bad. But it really is. Hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake, if not millions. All we have to do to prevent a worst case scenario is stay at home for maybe a month. Limit ourselves to necessary movements to only. Uphold strict hygiene guidelines and respect social distancing. Or as your president puts it: SOCIAL DISTANCING!

I can't find any estimates from either the CDC or WHO, saying it could take that many lives. I keep seeing people say this. Mark even provided a link, but that link does not give any sources. I tried searching their websites directly and still can't find that statement. Can you point me to who made this estimate? I'd really like a source for that. As far as I can find, experts are refusing to make any estimates because there's not enough data to know how many are actually infected, or even the infection rate.

Not that numbers really matter. If it was 1% of world's population it would still add up to 77,721,835 people. And if it were 1% of 1%, it would still be 777,218.35 people. I'd hate to be that 0.35th person!

Thanks for sharing everyone! Hope you all and your loved ones stay safe!

In Canada things are just getting started really. And there's still many seemingly in denial and going about their business like nothing is happening. Not me though....my work is still open, but they offered layoffs to those who want to stay home for any reason. So I accepted and am done working for now. Its going to be a financial struggle, but there's more important things to worry about.

My wife has to work (nurse in hospital) and she's really stressed. They are not even providing the proper N95 masks for them. Because there's a shortage of them, the government suddenly tells them a regular surgical mask is good enough. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT! Health workers are really upset, but so far no proper masks still. When things get worse, she's likely going to hold up in our 22' camper that we keep in the backyard right now. That will work ok to keep her somewhat isolated from us, in case she brings corona home with her.

So that's our update here. Lots more to come as we're just ramping up here.

Take care folks! China is getting back to normal, as normal as can be anyway, after the loss and trauma from this all....so things will settle eventually.

When you guys say 'layoffs', how does that work? It sounds so permanent. What's the financial compensation, if any?

Here we have a system called 'economic unemployment', in which we keep 70% of our wage and comes with some "benefits" like not having to pay the energy bill this month.

[Off-topic] Deaddpool:
Layoffs can be temporary or permanent here. Mine is temporary, until things get back to normal. Half our customers have construction activities on hold...(the other half are just dumb and will potentially contribute to spreading this virus)

When you get laid off, you can get Employment Insurance. Its only 55% of your regular pay, but there's a Maximum too. So someone making 100000 a year wouldn't get even close to 55%.

So it helps, but still is a real hit to your income.

23 Italian Doctors Dead From Covid 19

Not close to home but this story certainly is putting some fear in my heart. Up until now, I thought this was just like the regular flu only a bit more contagious and a bit stronger. But when you have 23 doctors that certainly have the knowledge and expertise to save people, dying themselves, well that really indicates to me just how bad the situation is. Please stay safe everybody and try not to unnecessarily expose yourself. Even you Mr. Clown.

if you really care about people dying in hospitals (and that's the main reason for shut down - protecting others, not yourself), stop smoking (more people die on passive smoking), stop eating animals (antibiotics are reason for multi-resistant germs)

why our governments do not forbid smoking? on smoking more people die than on traffic accidents, fire, alcohol, drugs, hiv, murder and suicide together.. respirator apparatus only for non-smokers - corona crisis solved..

seriously, why this shut down? don't we have bigger problems? everybody was laughing at Greta Thunberg, now a global shutdown for a flu? why helicopter money? the shut down is the real crisis and hits us all... besides some positive side-effects, no airplanes good for clima
