Coronavirus: Judge Yourself

Mar

18

Good Morning from Bellevue, Washington, USA.
March 18, 2020

Coronavirus Facts

I just listed the facts based on the public record. No judgement here.

As of today, we recorded 210,000 Coronavirus confirmed cases in the world with over 8,000 deaths since last December. Almost 83,000 people have recovered. The fatality rate is about 3.8%.

In the US, as of March 18, 9:00am, there are 7,512 confirmed cases with 115 deaths. That is fatality rate of 1.5%. Sp far only 106 people has recovered and released from the hospital.

Death rate by age is another concern. Here are the current numbers;

80+ years 14.8%
70-79 years 8.0%
60-69 years 3.6%
50-59 years 1.3%
40-49 years 0.4%
30-39 years 0.2%
20-29 years 0.2%
2—19 years 0.2%
0-9 years 0.0%

Compare to Influenza

This fatality rate is one of the highest among the virus infection. Average Influenza fatality rate is 0.1%. In the US, 19 million people got flu and 180,000 people had to be hospitalized in 2019. Out of that 10,000 people died. That is a fatality rate of 0.05%.

No opinion here. I just listed the numbers I found on the net. What do you think. about Coronavirus based on those facts. (Unless those facts I listed are not correct.)

Response by Business Communities

Mar

16

Here is one of the email I got. this one is from McDonald's. I really like this email because it gets to the point. We all should learn from it.

Dear Kenichi,

Along with you, we are closely watching the impact COVID-19 is having on our local communities. I am immensely proud of how our franchisee, suppliers and company partners have mobilized quickly to protect the well-being of our employees and customers, which is our number one priority.

We recognize many of you rely on us to provide food and beverage choices for you and your families. We take that responsibility very seriously. We have some of the highest standards of cleanliness and are closely working with national and local government and health authorities to ensure we are taking all the right steps.

In partnership with our franchisees, we are implementing additional precautionary measures to safeguard the well-being of our customers, crew and communities:

Encouraging all restaurants to move to Drive-Thru, Delivery and Walk-In Take-Out

Encouraging restaurants to close down all dine-in seating, including suspending the use of self-service beverage bars and kiosks

Supplying sanitizer for employees and customers who visit our restaurants

Encouraging employees to wash hands even more frequently than normal

Increasing surface cleaning and sanitizing across the restaurant in high-impact areas

Closing all Play Place attractions

McDonald’s has always been a home base for our communities. With 14,000+ restaurants across the country, we have a long legacy of being a dependable neighbor in times of need. Through this unprecedented and challenging time for families and individuals, McDonald’s will do our part to continue to be a place people can count on to deliver a familiar, comforting and delicious experience, no matter where they are.

'add fuel to the fire'

Mar

16

Today Governor announced that all restaurants in Washington State will be closed except for take out and delivery. I personally think it should be individuals' decisions not the governor's. It just 'add fuel to the fire'.

If you are scared, you should not go to the restaurant. Just stay home. That is your right. If you ignore it, however stupid it may be, it is your right as well.

-------- - --------

Definition of 'add fuel to the fire'

The phrase 'add fuel to the fire' means when you do or say something that makes a miserable situation even worse. 'Adding fuel to the fire' means to make a situation or conflict intensify, especially via provocative comments.
