Corona Virus #8

A tiger at the Bronx zoo tests positive for COVID-19........this is not good jumping to different species because that is when it can mutate. I also would not want to be the person to shove a swab up the kitty's nose.

It seems to be a killer virus that we know little about yet.

If it jumps to livestock that would put us in a world of hurt.

1.38 billion people and only 3333 officially dead.

I think I had 3333 as a lucky number in a fortune cookie once.

Maybe add 2 zeroes to the end of it.

You can cash your $1200 check. Ask for ones.

Opps. Meant to post to the toilet paper thread.

Pray you Aussie痴 are not hit hard....your country has suffered enough recently.

Ta Mate, we're doing OK... the country's death toll is at 37 right now. FORTRESS TASMANIA is holding strong but, as I've said before (probably in a now 'locked' thread) we've got a moat, being an Island State. And Australia itself has a continental moat too, it's the individual mainland States/Territories that have enacted their own boarder, non-essential travel, restrictions.

She'll be right. :thumbsup:

Demographics in NYC

Quote from "somewhere".

It will surprise no one that the most recent demographic data released by New York City’s Department of Health reveals that the City’s elderly — those over 65 years old — make up 70 percent of all deaths from coronavirus in NYC facilities. As of Friday, April 3, there were 1,584 coronavirus deaths in New York City. Males continue to dominate the demographics of death with 985 deaths for males vs. 597 deaths for females.

Queens continues to lead the death rates in the five boroughs with 499 deaths out of the total of 1,584 coming from Queens. But the Bronx is a close second with 438 deaths. Brooklyn reports 388 deaths with Manhattan reporting 179 deaths, and Staten Island with 79. Overwhelmingly, the deaths are occurring among those with underlying medical conditions including diabetes, lung disease, cancer, immunodeficiency, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, kidney disease and GI/liver disease.

This is the real story of coronavirus. Those without underlying conditions—including elderly people without underlying conditions—are highly unlikely to die. As the April 3 data demonstrates, only one NYC person without underlying conditions age 65 to 74 died of the virus, and only 3 individuals age 75 and over died of coronavirus. That’s a total of 4 deaths of elderly people without underlying conditions out of 1,584 deaths from coronavirus.
