Corona Virus #7

[LouNY]

regarding volunteering at the hospital....before the virus I was volunteering at the hospital and then they decided since all the volunteers are old folks that they suspended the current volunteers and went looking for younger volunteers. they were protecting us I reckon.

Ah, remember all the cute young candy stripers :thumbsup: :cool2:

Had to look closely at my spelling to be sure it was striper and not strippers

They are not mutually exclusive.

Going off on the dirty old man thread, if I were volunteering at our hospital i would hope to pass through radiology from time to time, those young women are amazing. I always wondered how much trouble the docs there got into.

Covid-19 Social Distancing Scoreboard — Unacast

Another good link for those of us in the US to see how our state and county are doing in their attempts to limit the spread. You can see state by state and even drill down to the County level.

Nice but

Our data currently has a 4-day lag time to ensure that we collect and process enough data to produce an accurate picture of human mobility for any given day.

Have you, or anyone, found links to near real time traffic count and Covid 19?

I've been looking at traffic cams for years and I've never seen traffic so light at mid-day on a nice spring day in the Washington DC area.

Unfortunately this sort of data is really biased by the size of the geographical area. DC looks great because there's less than 70 sq miles in that area. If you go to the supermarket in Wyoming you probably travel fifty times as far as a DC resident does. DC gets a high rating but that doesn't necessarily correlate with good social distancing if people are walking to friend's houses etc. The ranchers in Wyoming look bad even if they just drive to town to get food.

Have you noticed how many guys here haven't grasped the concept of hunkering down at home? Kind of scary given that a lot of us are 60 plus and some have health issues. Trips to walmart and the farm store and 4 grocery stores and the gas station. To me it looks like every trip from home is another chance to be exposed. I guess that is OK if you have seen enough of this earth and you are right with God.

Some of have to eat. My three week supply is running out. And the government is not helping by telling us exactly where and how many are sick.

If you read the comments, one of the first that I saw was somebody saying that she already can't get the drugs she needs for her lupus.

What a lot of people do not know is that a lot of drugs and the ingredients in drugs we take comes from China and India. Could the coronavirus spark drug shortages in the US? - Vox
