“New data support the skeptics’ view—a preliminary study by a Stanford team, released Friday.”
“The authors estimate that in Santa Clara County the true infection fatality rate is somewhere in the range of 0.12% to 0.2%—far closer to seasonal influenza”
“Similar proportions of infections to cases are now being discovered around the world: 30 times in Robbio, Italy; 10 times in Iceland; 14 times in Gangelt, Germany; 27 times in Denmark. Germany and Denmark are now leading Europe in reopening their economies in the coming week. Sweden, concerned all along with the accuracy of early assumptions, never closed down its economy.”
Meanwhile, on Vashon Island this Sunday, it felt just surreal as the store manager at Thriftway refused to allow any employees to bag groceries into my bag, but asked that I place them into the store cart, carry them outside, and bag them there.
Then, while waiting for the ferry, hearing a WSF employee go on a loud rant about how “she was looking forward to seeing death rates on the island skyrocket in 3 weeks” because she had to unload 3 full-to-capacity ferries of “fuckers from Seattle who had no business coming to Vashon”.
This is what we blew up our lives over, people.
